Skyrim is (supposedly) out of date, but steam says otherwise

[blackknight676]

So basically whats happening is i run SKSE and it states that im running an old version of skyrim SE, but steam wont update it

 

i have tried restarting steam

 

i really dont want to have to reinstall the game again, i just spent 3 hours installing it for the second time (hard drive crashed on me the first time)

 

anyone got any ideas?

 

also heres my specs, although i think their irrelevent in this case

 

NVIDIA GTX 1050

AMD FX-8300

16GB RAM

 

picture of the error attached

Is Steam set to always keep the game up to date?

Go into steam and right click the game. Go to local files and pick verify the integrity of game.

Make sure you are using the latest version of SKSE64

Make sure you are not running steam or skyrim on the C drive

Give admin rights to SKSE64 and steam

 

If that doesn't work I got nothing.

@Baron of Hell: Sound advice. Just want to clarify this one:

 

Make sure you are not running steam or skyrim on the C drive

 

You CAN install on C drive (Assuming it is your system drive). Just don't install into C:\program files (x86). This folder is under Windows' UAC ("user access crontrol" or something). Basically this means, c:\program files (x86) is treated almost like a system folder, which may result in various "access denied" issues wehn trying to change your mod setup... Anywhere else like e.g. c:\Games.... will be fine.

I have never had a problem with putting modded games in C: or C:\program files (x86) but I always build my own PCs & install Windows(Pro versions) myself.

Maybe this is an issue with some prebuilts & laptops.

 

Something to think about.
