Can't launch SE creation kit through steam


Recommended Posts

.... and I'm pulling my hair out.

 

I've used the creation kit before but I think this is my first time switching to the SE version, and I know last time I did that through the Bethesda launcher but see theres a steam version now. So I installed it, did my ini edits, verified files, made sure everything was in the same folder and STILL it's crashing on launch and I have no idea what to try next.

 

I've been googling and browsing through the forums but I think I've reached the end of what I can do on my own.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you

I can't say I've experienced your problem, but opening Windows Event Viewer and looking for application Errors might provide the cause or at least more information to google with.

That was a good idea, didn't think of that. Unfortunately it's not showing anything. Think I'm gonna try a reinstall of both the creation kit and skyrim and see if that does anything

Ok update. So far I have

 

- reinstalled Skyrim SE

- reinstalled CK

- verified files for both

- when asked to override files on unpacking scripts I have tried both overwriting and not overwriting

- said some swear words

- tried running the CK from steam

- tried running the CK from the data folder

- tried running the CK from the data folder as an admin

- said some more colourful swear words

- added the CK as a tool in vortex and ran it through that

- added the steam app id thing as an element by editing my CK tool in vortex

- tired using a mod to backdate the CK and install the CK fixes mod

- made a new profile in vortex, uninstalled all the mods and opened the CK as a tool in vortex.

 

All result in the creation kit starting, the window appearing, then immediately shutting down. Like.... what else can I do that doesn't involve having to back up vortex so I can unistall it and try and run it mod free. Cause that would completely defeat the purpose of trying to mod my game if I have to stop using a perfectly good mod manager.

 

It must be something really small and dumb if no one else is having this problem, I just can't work out what it is!
