[SKSE loader opening TESV launcher?]

 

 

I was running 1.7 and had the latest SKSE running fine. I tried updating it but the next version requires 1.8 patch from bethesda - so I got that as well - still same problem.

 

Yes if steam isn't running in the background then the game launcher starts up but I am having this problem despite steam running in the back ground. It is as if the skse launcher is being redirected to launch the main game launcher however I try to use it. Like I said a baffler. I am going to try renaming TESV launcher in my skyrim folder to see if that helps or even removing it altogether. I will post my results.

 

Edit: Renamed skyrim.launcher in the skyrim folder and this has solved the problem - Yay.

 

I've had the same problem after updating. I tried renaming skyrimlauncher.exe like you said however I then get a "This game is currently unavailable" message from Steam.

 

Thank you so much! I should have thought about that from the start!
