Okay, I think I finally got it to work thanks to this fix.

Essentially I had to download the 1.3.6 update from 1.3.5 of Mod Organizer (even though I already had the 1.3.6 version) and copy the "hook.dll" file into my Mod Organizer directory. After that it seems to finally got it running!

June 8, 2015

The short version of the story is that I can't seem to run the PatchusMaximus.jar as an executable in MO for the life out of me!

Here's the long version. Whenever I try to run the jar executable from MO, nothing happens except it outputs an error log file called hs_err_pid1344.log (the number 1344 is arbitrary) in my overwrite folder. Here's the content of the log:

The same happens when I tried running the "Debug - moreHeapspace - 32BitandMO.bat" in MO.

I learnt that MO only works on the 32bit version of Java so I uninstalled my current Java and installed the "Windows x86 Offline" version of Java from here. However, the problem still persists after I've done that. I did a lot of googling around and there are people having the same sort of problem as me, but I have tried their "solutions" and nothing seem to work either. Note that the executables seem to work fine when I use them outside of MO.

Any ideas?

Ah ok. I actually use a wireless mouse as well so I will have a look into investing a new mouse.

November 5, 2013

I'm having some Skyrim problems again, not a big surprise :blush:. Recently I am getting this problem with the mouse. It usually starts happening when I get into a medium to intensive fight (such as with a dragon). My mouse would start registering a "single click" as a "hold". So for example, if I am holding a sword and I do a right click, my character would do a power attack instead of a normal attack. Similarly, if I equip a spell and do a single click, my character would hold that spell, but that should only happen if I hold the mouse. Once this problem starts, the problem persists even after the fight is over; and the only way to fix this seems to be rebooting Skyrim. Interestingly enough, if I plug in my Xbox Controller, the controller's right/left triggers work fine, but the mouse problem persists.

Another possibly related problem I got is that occasionally sounds get delayed. e.g. the music that starts when I absorb a dragon soul sometimes doesn't play until up to 30 seconds after. Or sometimes, when I open/close the menu, the little "thud" sound gets delayed for a few seconds. Not a huge problem but it could be a sign for something much bigger issue lol.

Anyone else had this problem before and managed to fix it? Thanks in advance for any inputs.

Have you installed Reproccer correctly? I simply use NMM and it puts it in the "Skyproc Patchers" folder in the data folder, it works fine for me there.

The only thing I can think of is to right click it and "run it as administrator".

October 26, 2013

What I did was to open up Avast!, go to "Real time shields" and then "file system shield". You should find your deleted skse loader there. Right-click it and choose restore. You can also send a report to Avast saying it's false-positive.

Not sure if it will delete it again later, if it does you will probably need to disable Avast and use another anti virus for the time being.

October 26, 2013

The funny thing is, I keep Avast as a secondary Anti Virus (I use AVG mainly) and I haven't updated/turned on Avast for ages. It even says I am using an outdated version when I open the UI now, so I have no idea why this would happen to me as well.

October 26, 2013

I can't imagine it's really infected. If it really were a virus, it would've caused problems ages ago and not suddenly today.

October 26, 2013

Wow I thought I was the only one! I had been playing skyrim for a few hours earlier, and I got a load screen freeze. I thought it was normal since that sometimes happens. But when I launched SKSE again an error comes up saying the executable no longer exists. The shortcut deletes itself and I checked my Skyrim folder, and skse_loader indeed deleted itself. Being cautious I kept a copy of the SKSE 7zip archive ages ago. I tried extracting the loader, it extracts successfully but again deletes itself a second later.

So I guess the problem is Avast?

The reason why destruction seem weaker than archery or melee combat is because smithing and enchanting are so OP (let alone you can add alchemy to top it off). Even if you don't do any crafting exploits, smithing alone makes your weapons more powerful than any destruction spells, and enchanting your weapons with fire/frost/shock is like adding a destruction effect to your attacks. However, destruction does have the area of effect advantage. It's always cool to run towards a mass of people to do a fire storm, or spamming the Ice Storm spell through narrow hallways to hit lines of enemies. Mages are perfectly playable in Skyrim. In general, I found that any play style can survive Skyrim, even with the highest difficulty. So if you ask me, just play however you want and don't care about which build makes the most powerful character. And as a few people already said, there is nothing stopping you from playing an arcane archer!

Since you said you restarted the game a lot, you might want to give Skyrim Redone a try. The mod adds so much to the game, in particular it addressed many shortcomings to magic. Destruction damage actually scales with level. And a lot of cool spells have been added for other magic schools in a well balanced way (I especially love the curse spells from Restoration). Crafting are not as OP but are still cool to use. The difficulty is generally tougher but are more even throughout the game (in vanilla, the game is okay at the start, then gets ridiculously hard around mid levels but becomes easier and easier after level 40+).

October 20, 2013

Thanks guys! Don't know why I didn't think of Fraps, works like a charm. :)

October 20, 2013

I am using an ENB (Seasons of Skyrim) and I normally have my brightness all the way down as my ENB looks best this way. However, whenever I take screenshots, the shots look much brighter than in-game brightness. I tried using both the normal screenshot button (Print Screen) and the ENB one (Insert) but it makes no difference. Other people have posted screenshots and they all look like what it should be (correct brightness) so I am sure there is a way around this. Any ideas?

October 3, 2013

Sometimes dragons just don't give souls. Not sure if anyone managed to fix that by now. But from my experience I get way more dragon souls than I need even with this bug.

October 2, 2013

Hmm...as far as I know, vanilla Skyrim does clean up most dead bodies except for ash piles and maybe some named NPCs. Installing Unofficial Skyrim Patch should fix the ash pile issue. Equipment dropped by you however will never disappear until you pick them up and sell them or put them into "unsafe containers" (this is by design). You said you played for 5 days but it really depends on your game time. I would say play for a while and see if they start disappearing (I don't remember exactly how long it takes for bodies to clean up). If you are in a hurry, try waiting for a few weeks (game time). You can use the No Boring Sleep-Wait Menu mod to save you from having to click wait button for a dozen times.

If that doesn't work you can try this tool. Also, you can use the console to delete corpses. To do so, walk up to the object you want to delete, press the "tilde key" to bring up the console, click on the object, then type in "disable" and press Enter. Just make sure you save before you do this, and be careful not to delete quest related objects.

October 2, 2013

Yeah, I feel your pain. I have come to terms to CTD problems myself, it just happens in a complex game like Skyrim. And with mods the probability of getting crashes is even higher, but once you start playing with mods there is no turning back :p. Now I am happy provided the game doesn't crash too frequently.

There is one last thing you can try before leaving Skyrim for good though. You can try cleaning your old save file with this tool. You do have to take some time to read the guide but it does work when you use it correctly. I have used this myself and I had no crash at all for a long time until I started installing more mods again.

October 2, 2013

That's what I have done actually. I did a clean install of Skyrim, started a new game and adjusted my character's level, added my previously owned items and spells/shouts from the console, so far I haven't ran into any big problems. But I wouldn't alter any quests with the console if I were you. Completing quests with the console can be quite dangerous, you can really messed up some NPC's behaviours, or worse still get leftover scripts from the quest. And that's the same for player homes. It's better to add lots of gold to your inventry via the console and buy the house that way.

October 2, 2013

Does manual save just mean clicking "new save" or do you have to save through console?

September 30, 2013

I see. Personally I make a lot of saves anyway, so being unable to fall back on older saves has never been a problem for me. I do overwrite old saves occasionally, and I never knew doing so can cause file corruption (I thought the process of overwriting the save is simply the game deleting the old save and making a new one).

September 29, 2013

Most ENBs have problems with nighteye and as far as I know there isn't much you can do. You can use the candlelight spell, which works well for dungeons, or you can try the Travel Lantern mod, which frees up both of your hands.

Hmmm, turning ENB off should make everything pretty much visible, even in the darkest of caves. Unless you use a lighting mod like Climates of Tamriel, or turned your brightness all the way down.

September 29, 2013

Every now and then, I would hear people say autosaves and quicksaves can be dangerous, but I never fully understand why. I noticed that autosaves on travelling between cells seem to cause infinite load screens sometimes so I disabled that. But I kept the autosaves on for waiting and sleeping on, and I use quicksaves a lot. I do get CTDs from time to time but I can't imagine they are caused by quicksaving. I also heard overwriting old saves is bad, but again, no idea why. Can anyone care to explain?

September 29, 2013

If you are using NMM, open it up and check the plugin tab. Select each esm and esp files and it will tell you the dependent esms/esps, make sure all dependent esms/esps are loaded before the file.

If you don't understand what I mean, this video gives a detailed explanation on how to do this:

September 29, 2013

Also, in order to get Reproccer to actually process the esp, you need to make sure BOSS loads the esp of the weapon mod before the ReProccer. If BOSS recognises the mod it should do that automatically, if it doesn't you need to add a rule to BOSS to tell it to do that. Once that's done, run ReProccer.jar, then check if ReProccer has the mod's esp as one of its dependent esps; if it does then it should work, otherwise you might need to tick the "force patch" text box in the ReProccer for it to work.

September 28, 2013

Usually if it crashes before the Skyrim logo, it means there is a dependent esm/esp missing. Deleting Skyproc, and uninstalling FNIS with an animation installed was a bad idea... Reinstall those, run the Skyproc patcher and FNIS again and see if they help.

September 28, 2013

I see. So I guess I am just being overly paranoid.

But any ideas on some random crash on load save games? So on my previous Skyrim set up, sometimes, when I load a save game it would immediately crash to desktop just before the game completes loading; but usually if I load the same save again it loads without problems. I always checked the log when that happened, and it always just printed out the usual crap I get when I load a save. It's the random nature of it that I don't get.

September 28, 2013

After finishing everything I wanted to do in the game for my second character, I decided to finally do a clean install of Skyrim and starting a new game in the hopes of fixing those infrequent, but annoying CTD problems (random CTD straight after loading save, and sometimes random CTD when playing). So far I have loosely followed the STEP clean install guide (only installed a selective few of the mods suggested by STEP since I am not too interested in most of them). I then installed a few mods that I want to use that are not in the STEP list. I also did test plays (start new game) inbetween installing different mods, and I notice there are increasing numbers of papyrus errors and warnings. I haven't had any CTDs or freezes yet. But I am worried they may start coming back, and I want to minimse that risk before playing seriously. Anyway, here's my stuff:
