Immediate crash. Can't even get to bethesda logo

[SmlSirius]

Hi

I tried to find a thread regarding this issue, but all I could find was random CTD:s and load order crashes. My problem though, is that I can't even get to the Bethesda logo. My game crashes immediately when I click SKSE. The skyrim window pops up briefly and then... nothing happens.

I don't know much about modding, but I do know what load order is and hopefully how to avoid that. I thought it was a mod issue at first, but I'm not so sure now that I can't even run skyrim without mods.

 

Things I've done so to make Skyrim start:

Check my load order with TES5Edit. No missing masters or mods in wrong order.

Checked if I had any errors with boss, but none. Just some warnings that I am aware of.

Disabled ALL my mods and tried to run it.

Cleaned the original .esm:s with TES5Edit (not the skyrim.esm)

Verified integrity of the game cache via Steam.

I deleted all my old saves. (because I was going to start a new character anyway)

Did the %appdata% thing and checked if I had two Skyrim.esm in the plugins list, but no.

 

Just a couple of months back I ran the game with all these mods I do know without much of an issue. Just some minor lag here and there because of graphics. an occasional CTD, but not often at all (no problem what so ever) and it's about 150 mods I believe.

Also, I run the latest version of SKSE and a legal version of the game.

Turn off any anti-viruses from looking in your Skyrim folder and make sure skse_loader.exe is set to run as Administrator.

oh man i dont know what to tell ya it has happened to me but it has been mostly corrupted mods hmm remember what was the last time you played and worked well and ALL you did after right before it started crashing.

150 mods hmm that seems like a lot even to me so try uninstalling the recently added ones until it stops crashing then install one by one or a couple by couple until you get another crash so you can identify which mod is causing the problem if the problem is a mod atleast (i know you mentioned that you already tried this but this has happened mostly to me so just double check)

Thanks for the replies!

myztikrice: I don't have any antivirus installed, and I think I've tried running it as admin, but I'll try again though!

Dannyliuss: yes, it almost seems like it's mod related. But even if I turn of all my mods I can't get it to work. I think I remember all of the mods I've installed since I last played it, and I will try to uninstall those. I've had 150 mods before without a problem, so it's strange for it just to happen now.

But even if I have a corrupted mod, wouldn't it let me get to the Bethesda logo at least? strange indeed..

 

I will tinker a bit with it and see what happens. Thanks again.

 

If anyone has something else to suggest, please do and I will check it!

Okay fellas, I figured this out.

I'm running an enb called Sharpshooters Enb. and apparently that enb isn't compitable with newer versions of the ENBSeries from ENBdev.com. I remember installing a newer version of that just because I thought it would make my game look even better. But no, that enb is only compitable with the oldest version. I simply deleted the d3d9.dll that I had, and downloaded the oldest one that I can get from the site, and replaced that with the one I had. So.. this was caused because of an enb!

 

Thanks for the replies though, I appreciate it :)

alright glad you could figure it out !
