Extended Hotkey System hotkeys are not saved

[3012]

Hello.

 

Latest character is a wizard with lots of spells so I felt the need to have more hotkeys available, thus I installed Extended Hotkey System, as I thought it offers exactly what I need. Trouble is that it does not remember my hotkey assignments, whenever I start the game, the assignments are lost and need to be set up anew. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the mod itself as no one seems to have complained about it in the mods posts. My guess is that it has something to do with MO2 but I don't know for sure. Without the mod, Hotkeys are remembered just fine, no problems whatsoever it only happens with this mod installed.

Here is my load order:

I've tried running MO2 and SKSE with elevated permissions but that didn't help as well. I'm using profile specific saves in MO2. Any help would be much appreciated. The game runs stable enough but still, setting up the hotkeys whenever I want to play becomes a little annoying.

Are you using a controller per chance? There is a known issue on that mod which indicates that when using a controller that the controller mappings are lost when the game gets loaded either from death or a new session.

Thank you for your reply. - I don't use a controller, none is connected and on reloading a save the hotkeys are remembered as long as the game does not restart.

Hmm... When you are finished playing the game, are there files that have appeared in your overwrite folder? If yes, what do you do with them. Chances are that a file is created / modified with your specific key settings and if that file is not kept active then those adjustments are lost upon starting the game up again. However, I have never used that mod and do not know its inner workings, this is just speculation.

Unfortunately, there is nothing in the overwrite folder. I've checked that as well, forgot to mention it.

I've got a reply from the mods author:

 

Hi 3012!

The hotkeys are saved to the SKSE cosave (Should be a .skse file in the same location and with the same name as the actual save). Ensure that this file does not get deleted upon starting the game, and that skse is used every time you load the save.

As you may know, controller hotkeys have an issue with this, but keyboard should work.

I think this confirms an issue with MO2, doesn't it? I am using profile specific saves in MO2 and I can't find any .skse files in the profiles save file location.

Any idea how I could get around that?

[IsharaMeradin]

Interesting, I have .skse save files located at ".. > Mod Organizer 2 > UserData > SkyrimSE > profiles > [profile name] > saves"

Your location may vary slightly.

[3012]

Yep. I've checked some other profiles. Some of them have .skse files, this profile does not. I have no idea why though. I've checked with profile specific saves turned off and there the .skse files are saved just fine in the global saves folder. This is rather weird. Any idea what could be going wrong?

Would you happen to have SSE Engine Fixes installed? And do you rename your save files after exiting the game? If yes to both, SSE Engine Fixes purges SKSE co-saves on game start that do not have a matching save file with the same name. That is the only thing I can think of that could cause this situation. Otherwise, clueless.

I do use SSE Engine Fixes, yes, but I don't actively rename save files. Maybe SSSO messes with that but I don't think so, because then I should at least have the .skse files after a named save done from the console. Also I've checked the profiles save folder whilst saving (without closing the game) and a .skse file did not appear.

Okay then. Thank you very much for your support. I may ask the MO2 support but unless someone else here has a bright idea, I guess I just have to deal with it.
