Synthesis Error Every Time.

[Kyubitron]

I seem to be having issues with synthesis, I have followed the wiki (download, add to MO2, and run) multiple times, but every time I run it, it errors.

 

This occurs with any patcher:

 

Skyrim-RemoveLandscapeVertexColor

 

EnbLightpatcher

 

AIoverhaulpatcher

 

All of them Fail and error out.
IE:

Synthesis.Bethesda.Execution.CliUnsuccessfulRunException: Error running solution patcher

What am I doing wrong? Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you.

PS: Yes, I own Skyrim SSE Via Steam.

Usually the reason for problems like these are mods containing errors.

 

I experienced the same with a house mod that simply makes the ENBLights patcher crash. Deactivating the problematic file usually helps. In general it's not recommended to use mods obviously containing errors. So - use those mods that lead to errors at your own risk.

 

To narrow down the problem, look at everything the Synthesis patcher says. Usually it says, which files are problematic. What you copied above isn't very helpful indeed - at least not for me. But maybe there's more? TBH, this doesn't look like the whole bug report from Synthesis. Usually, there's more information.

 

BTW, you can also try to run patches separately to find out more. From my experience, it's usually just one or two files and problems with a specific patcher, not all of them.

 

EDIT: This could also be a MO 2 related issue. Unfortunately I can't help in this case - I'm using Vortex. So no idea, how Synthesis integration into MO 2 exactly works.

Thank you. I just made sure there were no errors found in loot.

Thanks for the full log. On a side note: If there's something wrong with a plugin, you don't necessarily get a LOOT warning. Even XEdit doesn't detect everything. That's probably not the point here though.

 

Very likely it's indeed not a single file, that stops the patcher. Synthesis usually clearly says, which plugin causes issues. Your log however doesn't say anything about specific files. This seems more on the "general runtime errors" side.

 

Unfortunately I'm kinda out of my wits here. I think this could be a problem with MO integration. Since I'm using Vortex, I don't know much about using Synthesis in an MO environment. Someone else would need to give us some insight here.
