aarchieee Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) A quick question. Is it normal for it to take 2,3,4, attempts to start the game via the skse64_loader.exe ? Does it sometimes just take a few goes before it hooks the game files to load the game ? Or is it an issue at my end ? Its always been like this for me since i started playing and just accepted it, "coz mods" but just wondering if its normal. Tia.

scorrp10 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Definitely abnormal. Very rarely(maybe once in 20-30 times) my game will hang on startup, and mostly because I am switching to other programs while it is loading. But taking 2-3 tries each time is just wrong. How many SKSE plugins and mods are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karna5 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It depends what you mean by multiple attempts to hook, I think. For instance, if I click the launch button on my mod manager, it will not launch on the first try if I did not have the mod manager in the foreground. But it will launch on the first try if I make sure the mod manager is in the foreground first. So I first click my mod manager to put it in front and then click the launch button. Furthermore, I have my Skyrim AE game installed on a hard drive rather than a solid state drive. I'd move the game to the solid state drive, but I have 793 installed mods and don't wish to uninstall and reinstall them all onto the new drive, so I leave them on the hard drive. This means, however, that it takes several minutes for my game to launch. Thus, to make sure the game is actually launching when I click it, after I click the launch button I alt-tab to my Steam library. From there, Steam confirms for me that Skyrim AE is launching several minutes before I actually see the game launch. When you say it's taking several tries, are you sure it's taking several tries. Did you check Steam to see if it's launching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since disabling Afterburner, ive started the game 4 times and it fired up first time every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
