HeyYou

Should be able to set a rule, that specifies x mod loads after y mod. (using vortex? Right??)

Look in event viewer (windows utility) and see if anything in the logs presents itself. SKSE *might* have a log as well.....

What game, or games... brought this on? (this is the first I have heard of it, but then, I don't play their games either... so don't really pay much attention.) That said, I believe that is the ONLY way the players can get the developers attention. Hit 'em in the wallet. If you get the shareholders attention, you will very shortly have the attention of management, and, as feces rolls downhill..... likely someone (or several someones) will get fired, and they may actually change the way they do things. They can't afford that kind of dent in their bottom line very often. I am thinkin' a second time, and the company would be pretty much done.

The modding scene for LE is MUCH more developed than it is for SE...... I had considered 'upgrading' to SE, but, a fair few of the mods that I consider 'required', simply aren't there for SE. SKYUI hasn't been updated since 2017... and various other considerations...... I suspect though, that SE has a larger player-base at this point...... Don't have any stats on that though.

Try reinstalling directx.

Typically Enough (Because we're talking about Bethesda), Bethesda Games are WHY I have a two monitor setup. The monitor on my right has the Task Manager opened 24/7, along with a CMD window run as Admin (in case Steam decides to crash and take Explorer and the entire system with it, by not letting me kill the Steam.exe because it says "Access Denied"), and for recovering from other stupid things that Bethesda games are fond of doing. This was brought about because I was sick of Oblivion doing a full screen graphics lock, where I couldn't get to my desktop to shut it down, so I added a second monitor Now all the tools to stop a runaway Bethesda game sit on my right monitor while I play the game on my main monitor. I mean, Bethesda games are so bad at that, that some modders made a utility to hit three combination keys to open their systray utility to allow you to close down Oblivion, Fallout 3 etc I believe they still exist on the nexus game pages, I just can't remember the names of them. Actually, they are both good ideas. :) But, I need a bigger desk before I can set up another monitor...... May go lookin' for those tools though. That sounds doable. It is a sad state of affairs that this kind of thing is even necessary....... and its also one of the reasons I generally give beth games six months to a year, before I will buy them..... (on sale.....)

Batteries for electric cars. Fuel cells for hydrogen cars, and the computer you are posting from wouldn't exist without those rare-earth minerals.

Can they though? Name one stable, well executed, well paced, well WRITTEN game that Bethesda Game Studios has ever made. The entire series. Edit: HeyYou - you can set it up where The Task Manager Window always is on top of other windows. Yeah, but, that keeps it on top, even when the game is working properly...... Might interesting to see what all is going on when the game chokes though..... May have to try that. :)

I think you need to run LOOT on your load order, you have patches loading before the mods they patch..... Immersive Amazing Follower Tweaks - Immersive AFT Interesting NPCs Patch for instance. :)

It will be interesting to see how the MS/Beth combination works out. Money just became a LOT less of an issue..... they will certainly have the resources they need to put out a good game. Whether they will or not, remains to be seen. If they follow their latest trend of 'dumbing down' the games to 'appeal to a wider audience' though, I am not going to be a happy camper. Morrowind was a great RPG, granted, it had some interesting bugs, but, most of those were solved by the modding community. It says a lot that folks are STILL modding morrowind...... With Oblivion, they went WAY overboard with the level scaling..... and the game just wasn't fun. Leveling up was actually counter-productive. I played for maybe an hour, then set it aside for a couple years, until I found FCOM. THAT made the game FAR more interesting. Skyrim was better, as far as level scaling, but, too many of the RPG elements were removed, and it became an action/adventure game with "some rpg elements"...... They did the same to Fallout 4..... (though I still enjoy playing FO4..... with mods..... :) ) Skyrim though, In my latest playthrough, I am around level 70, and got to Solstheim, and discovered I can play for about 5 minutes, then the game locks up, and I have to restart my computer, as I can't get task manager to show up, so I can kill skyrim. (even if I leave it open in the background, I can't alt-tab to it.....) I have tried every fix I found online..... (resetting ugrids back to 5, nuking every instance of the MG07 quest scripts, turning off autosaves, etc.) and no soap. Even around Fort Frostmoth, it will freeze solid, and I am done. Really wish I could solve that one....... Didn't have those issues on the mainland.... ran great.

Maybe he was a guard in a previous life? :D

No, I am asking seriously. Even our military isn't real pushy about talking about where you are stationed. (depending of course, on just where that is.) I was stationed at K. I. Sawyer AFB in the upper peninsula of Michigan, back in the early 80's. We had B-52's, and F 106's.... (SAC base.) Of course, SAC no longer exists as an entity, and the base is now Marquette International Airport..... I think it closed shortly after I left. (I am quite sure the two events are NOT related......)

Not allowed? By whom? For what reason?

Where you were 30 years ago isn't something you are willing to admit??? Real curious what your reasoning there is......

If you AREN'T a member of the Dark Brotherhood, they really shouldn't be hostile...... Can you post your load list?

'Incompetent' and 'inept' are synonyms. I can stomach a bit of greed if I also get competence, or even better: accomplished. Incompetent implies they don't know what they are doing. Inept implies they simply screwed it up, for whatever reason. Beth CAN do awesome games, but, for some reason, they appear to CHOOSE not to...... Seems really counter-productive to me......

I use a mod that prevents quest givers from giving me a quest that takes me off the current landmass I am on. So, nobody in Skyrim sends me to Solstheim, and vice versa.

So, you will ignore history, and dress it up as the whites being the perpetrators? That's nice, and not really surprising at all.

Obama was the great divider. Look back over his two terms, and if you are honest with yourself, you will see it. Trump may be continuing a trend, just in the other direction from Obama.

Or maybe folks that don't like the democrat agenda. We get it, you don't like trump. However, basing your decision on who to vote for on the candidates moral character is simply idiotic. Reminds of when folks didn't want to vote for Kennedy, because he was catholic. Not that anything you say matters in the least. You don't decide whom anyone votes for, and you personally don't get a vote either. You can spout all the opinionated nonsense you want, and you aren't going to change a single mind. But then, nothing I say is going to sway you from your position either. I am basically barking into the wind here. Doesn't seem to matter to you that your position is flat out wrong, on so many levels. But hey, we are all entitled to our opinions, right? you answer like a 10 year old boy - like trump would do - and always turning in circles instead of facing reality. no, it is not about me or my position or if i like trump or not - if you are unable to understand my message you seem somehow incapable to understand my very simple english. but i will help you the last time to understand with plain simple words, just for you: it is not relevant who tries to corrupt democracy but it is vitally relevant that you (and hopefully many others) check that since trump and his corrupt friends force his election tales "as the truth" while discrediting u.s. institutions including the supreme court with a rep majority without any serious reason or evidence. it is a democracy discrediting joke what trump produces and you don't check it even after month. this hurts but it is on you to find a way back to reality and the rules of democracy. i don't know if you will ever check what is currently happening with your country and democracy. Are you really such right wing blinded that you would prefer division in favor of trying to unify the nation ? i hope this point is now even clear for you! I get your message. You don't like trump. You don't think he is a good leader, because of his lack of morals, and various other personality flaws. And yes, I have conceded those points. Trump is an idiot. The point that I am trying to make, that you totally ignore, along with the reality of the situation, is that I am not voting for the MAN, I am voting for his political platform. If Atilla the Hun ran on the republican ticket against Biden, I would be voting for Atilla. I can't put this any clearer. Maybe its a language barrier, but, we've been thru all that before too. But then, like a typical liberal, you won't argue the point, you will just sling insults instead. That's ok. We know you don't have a valid argument, and that the emotional reaction is all you have. Just go back to your safe space, and cry in your comfort pillow. You'll feel better in the morning. Maybe. For my part, yes indeed, I am disappointed that Trump lost the popular vote. Didn't really come as a surprise though..... However, tomorrow will tell the tale. The electoral college meets, and THEY decide who wins. There is no law that says they have to vote as the regions they represent voted..... so, Trump still has a chance. Albeit a small one. If the electoral college decrees Biden won, then so be it. I will live with is till 2024, and then vote again. Hopefully, the republicans will be running someone that is actually electable. I REALLY don't want to see Trump run again. That will likely be a guaranteed loss.

Right there with ya on followers. I avoid them as much as possible. They are more of a hassle than they are worth... Barbus really put the final nail in the coffin though, when he pushed me off a cliff, heading for the cave his quest was pointing at.

Define "Doesn't work"???

But even if the player is a High Elf, they STILL can get targeted. :D

I also play a stealth archer. I don't generally use poisons, as I can one-shot just about anything even without. Of course, dragons always detect me..... if they even glance in my direction, regardless of my sneak skill. (currently just over 140....) That's ok though, My Ebony crossbow, with dragonbone bolts, enchanted with Soul Trap, takes 'em down fairly quick. Either that, or a few Thunderbolts dramatically reduces their health as well. :)
