SKSE doesn't work | SKYUI ERROR CODE 1

[Squallyjungle]

I took the SKSE Data folder and just re-put it into my Skyrim folder, then poof no more problems. (running as admin and other things didn't work for me)

Install skse was complete but Error Code 1 still popup. Run as Administration didn't work for me? any other thoughts?

Same here. It was working until I updated Nexus, now all I get is error 1

[sLOVED: Run skse_loader.exe as admin.]

 

 

I get the SKYUI ERROR CODE 1.

 

I installed it correctly, followed 3 different tutorials step to step.

I put the .exe and .dll in the /Skyrim Folder and the /scripts folder in the /Data folder.

I always get this error, since i play this game on pc (before xbox). Now i want it to work.

 

My Skyrim, SkyUI and SKSE Versions match to the Installation Guide of SKSE or SKyUI.

Skyrim: 1.9.32.0 | SkyUI: 3.4 | SKSE: 1.6.13

I already did a reinstall of Skyrim, i deleted everything that belogs to the game, even my savegames.

 

 

Also i noticed in the tutorials, after running the skse_launcher the game starts without the skyrim launcher.

If i run the skse_launcher i get a admin-request to start steam (but i am already logged in) and the skyrim launcher opens.

 

Please, if anyone had this problem or could know how to slove it, help me.

I deserve to, since i always give 1 gold to old veterans.

 

Excuse my english.

Hi!

I tried to do all the fix/run as admin/reinstall possible and didn't work.

 

After 2 days of headach i finnaly found how to get it work. Just came here to share!

 

-Take the Skyrim folder (all of it) out of the Steam directory and creat a C://game/ and put it there.

 

-Star the game using SKSE (Run as administrator), now steam will pop up and tell you that files are missing.

 

-Right Click on Skyrim in Steam, select properties and in the Local Files tab, select browse local files select the SKSE

again in the new Skyrim directory.

 

I did that and it worked. No more error 1!

I think it's best to put Skyrim in it's own directory to avoid conflict when using mods and all.

 

Hopes it help!

 

 

 

 

I tried both of these options, with reinstall via NMM and manual. Entering into the game "getskseversion" shows current version and is working as HDT physics and other Mods work.

Not sure where to go from here does anyone have any ideas or could help?

You must have the SKSE Loader in the same folder with the TESV

It's crazy how long this issue has existed and keeps resurfacing! There are countless threads online (mostly outdated by new code releases) discussing it. Many of them have a kernel of truth, but most of them miss an essential point. However, let's be very clear about a few environmental concepts first.

1) You must go to Silverlock.org to download SKSE - the executable is not on NexusMods.

2) You should install the AE version build 2.1.5 if you have SE (not the SE v2.0.20).

3) Use your mod manager (Vortex, MO2 - not NMM!) to install it. New versions of these now do it correctly and there's no need to install it manually like the old days.

4) All of the articles telling you to edit the mod manager .ini file and add a "*" in front of SKSE entry are based on old versions that didn't work well. This is obsolete in 2022.

The second major issue that people thrash over is where they've installed their games and mods. It's perfectly fine to install Steam itself in the default location of C:\Programs. However, this is less than ideal for your games and mods. Windows security is very picky about security privileges in systems directories. Script injection engines like SKSE (and mods that depend on them) do a couple of things that require admin privileges.

1) If your normal Windows login has admin privileges (very poor cybersecurity practice), then you're home free and everything will run fine if installed in C:\Program (or anywhere else).

2) If you're logging into your PC with a non-administrator account AND you installed your games in C:\Programs, you're going to need to follow the admonitions of the various threads and use the properties tab of the SKSE_loader.exe to "Run this program as an administrator".

3) You really should install Skyrim, SKSE and everything other game on a separate drive or partition. This enables all of the executables to function normally without needing elevated privileges and keeps you less vulnerable to rogue mods and other threats.

Great you say, I've installed SKSE correctly from Silverlock and I've also installed it in the correct location with the correct privileges on my PC. However, when I launch Skyrim via SKSE (not SkyrimSE.exe), I still get this stupid error message! Have you stopped to really observe what's happening? SKSE is clearly launching and so is Skyrim. Thus, the problem is with SkyUI - NOT with SKSE! For some reason, it's not correctly detecting that SKSE is already running. Well, WTF? Without getting into the weeds, SKSE opens a connection to Steam to authenticate you so that it can launch Skyrim.

Effectively, it's like when you're in Skyrim and you open the door without knocking - inhabitants may be surprised or angry. The door is open, but you're not really welcome. On the other hand if you knock, they open the door and you have a chat and they invite you in. That's what happens when you launch the Steam client first and THEN launch SKSE. You can even close the Steam client after it completely launchs and SKSE will still launch Skyrim without any SkyUI error. SkyUI is like your follower who stands outside the door of that private residence and says "that's not right of you going in there without permission." It sees the open door, but refuses to participate in your plans.

So what are your options?

1) Manually launch Steam.exe, then launch SKSE64_loader.exe

2) Add SKSE to your Steam library as an "external application" and launch from there

3) Add Steam and SKSE to Vortex and launch them in that order (waiting for the Steam client to appear before launching SKSE)

4) Write a cool batch file to automate this for yourself or download a SKSE launch mod

Yep. I have tried just launching F4SE directly, which then launches steam, but, that simply does not work. Launch Steam, let it do its thing, THEN launch the game from my shortcut, and it works perfectly. Same for Skyrim.

 

Good points there Stuck. :D
