thumbincubation Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 So I've been using CK every day, since the release with relatively few problems. Today, though, the render window is completely black, no matter what cell (exterior or interior) I try to load. I've tried it with mods I'm working on, and I've tried it with no mod, with only skyrim and update as masters. No luck. Pressing f5 has no effect, though it still goes through the green bar process. Toggling lights also has no effect. I can still work in the object window and have the tool bars and the cell window, but nothing but a black block, where I should be seeing buildings and roads. The only thing that has changed is that, last night, I opted into Skyrim SE beta patch. Has anyone else been having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 This turned out to be a result of the beta patch, changing the shaders so CK couldn't see anymore. (TY to Arthmoor and InsanePlumber for help) If anyone else runs into this, who has opted into the patch, recommend reverting to release version of the game, rather than trying shader replacement, to avoid breaking game.

NewRaven Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks. Having tried to uninstall graphics driver, creating a custom profile for the creation kit, setting compatibility modes and a lot of other stuff within the last 12 hours to get this issue solved. Never thought it could be related to the beta patch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceburg Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I had this exact issue and tried everything. I finally found this post and reverting from the beta fixed the issue for me too. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted38594960 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm having the same issue, but I don't have the beta patch, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I'm able to load the mod in the original Creation Kit (with the render window working) so I can continue working with that in the meantime.

thumbincubation Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I don't know what to suggest, if you haven't had the patch. Skyrim-Shaders.bsa has the same "date modified" as the rest of the game .bsas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMartyr Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 If Steams Update SkyrimSE, for pity sake use the Beth Launcher to Update CK64, they need to be in Sync. Or you will have problems. So opt out of Steam beta's & use BL once & while to keep track of CK64 with Update Enable or Manual for both it that the way you roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 I opted out of the beta updates when I reverted to the release version, so I could use CK again (after trying a complete reinstall of ck). Reverting to release worked...until today, when Skyrim SE auto-updated as soon as I logged into Steam. I'm still opted out of betas, but apparently this is no longer a beta, according to update history, and there's no setting to opt out of non-beta updates. So now instead of beta update 1.1.51, which caused CK to be useless, I have the mandatory 1.1 update, which causes CK to be worthless. The Bethesda launcher, despite being updated, still has the Oct 8 CK version, which of course doesn't work...again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMartyr Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Works for me with the Steam Update so don't know what say except "Validate CK64" cos I got a Beth Launcher Update & a CK64 Update & Repeat It Works so your doing something wrong, try again. Note Three Updates required to get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 How did you get the ck64 update? Was it automatic? I see no update buttons, no mention of a new version available, just the Oct 8th version. I did have the launcher update today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
