Hazmatchris539 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I've pretty much given up at this point so I'm just coming here to see if anyone can help me out. After starting a new game with new mods, I went and did everything as usual until I went to add perks for Legacy of the Dragonborn. I have Custom Skills Framework as well as something that adds a new menu for the archeology perks. I tried to open the menu like I've done countless times only for nothing to happen. I thought that something was messed up with the mod itself until I went deeper into this. I tried reinstalling the required mods/files to get things working properly and now my game just won't start period. No main menu, no pop ups, nothing. As as I try to launch it, nothing happens. I figured it was an issue with the DLL plugin loader. But no matter how many times I tried to fix it, nothing worked... Flash forward to the anniversary update. New things for mods to be updated because Bethesda always breaks things when it comes to modding. And I've gotten a patch so that I can have the old executables as well as the new content, but the issue is constantly persisting. I just want to play Skyrim but I can't be bothered to do this consent maintenance. If anyone can help me and give me some suggestions as to how to fix this, please let me know.

You are referring to the replacement of binkw64.dll, correct? When you say you "tried to fix it" did you delete the new one and rename the old file back to its' original name? I couldn't load the game when I downloaded the bink file. I only did so because LOOT was giving advice and said I should get it, which turned out to be incorrect. I don't know how that will work if you downpatched (sounds like you did, can you confirm?) - I am not using that, so perhaps what I did will not work for you.

I basically deleted both bink files, revalidated my game files, and then reinstalled it that way. And this was like a week before the AE version came out. And at first I did downpatch it with no success, then deleted the downpatched exe file and revalidated again to try using the Skyrim Lite Loader, also with no success...

Wish I could help you more. I would at least go check and see if the validation replaced the file. Other than that, hopefully someone else here can give some tips because I'd probably be completely uninstalling, running ccleaner, making sure there were zero mods and reinstalling the game cleanly but I also have no issues wiping save files out or starting over usually since it just means more playtime.
