Skyrim Scrip Extender (SkSE) not running

[Draxiss]

I've installed everything for the latest version of skse (1.5.9), which it says is compatible with the latest version of Skyrim (1.6.89.0). I've checked and double-checked that everything is installed in, according to the readme file. However, when I try to run the skse_loader.exe, the command window pops up for a moment, then vanishes.

Then . . . nothing.

 

I'm using a Linux with PlayOnLinux to run the game normally, and wine to run the skse_loader.exe.

 

I've got Skyrim installed through steam, and plenty of mods already added. I manually install everything, and they all work (except for the skse-required mods) normally.

 

Here's what the skse_steam_loader.log says:

 

skse loader 01050090 (steam) 01CD606FA4E945A6 5.1 (2600)

base addr = 003D0000

GetSystemTimeAsFileTime IAT = 010611D8

original GetSystemTimeAsFileTime = 7B872AF0

patched GetSystemTimeAsFileTime = 003D1600

GetStartupInfoA IAT = 010611D0

original GetStartupInfoA = 7B8396A0

patched GetStartupInfoA = 003D1620

 

I've not clue what any of that means, or if it will even help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've already installed it onto Linux, but I can install it on virtual machine for windows, but it'd be a huge pain to set up, so I'd really prefer to run it on Linux. I'm not even sure if that would help though, so I'd prefer to know what I can do before trying that.

[Draxiss]

Well, I think I figured it out. I'd been running the executable directly through wine, instead of going to PlayOnLinux -> Configure -> Misc. -> Run an executable in the virtual drive.

However, now it's just crashing for some other reason, which I'm trying to fix.

But, I think it'll work now.

 

Once it stops crashing.

[Draxiss]

Well, now it works, but it isn't the right size, and doesn't give me the option of running in windowed mode, and doesn't seem correctly formatted for my screen.

While Linux is great for some applications, it has never panned out for me in general use. There is always something else that needs to be fixed or changed to get it to work. I spend more time fiddling with just getting it to work with a few critical applications. Then I want to add something new. Such as a new video card for instance - and I'm back to digging for answers in the support forums just to find that there are no current drivers to take advantage of the new features I bought the card for. :pinch:

 

IMHO, it's just not quite ready for prime time yet. Hopefully one day it will be a viable replacement for MS, but that day is not yet (for me anyway).

 

I will stick with the crippled Windows OS with its insane registry and other built in bugs for now. Especially for games. :rolleyes:

 

And before some Linux fanboi jumps in saying I don't know what I'm talking about

I've been working in electronics since 1964 and on computers since 1978. Used Unix & early releases of Linux in the 1980s, SCO Unix/Linux in the 90s. Worked great for dedicated systems. If I told you I was using it on S100 based ICM (Intercontinental Micro Systems), Cromeco and several proprietary computers would that mean anything to you? :tongue:

Not really . . . I'm not that fluent in computer yet. A friend (who knows this stuff much better than I . . . for now) simply highly recommended that I use Linux for the operating system, so here I am.

 

Sooo . . . are you saying that I should just give up and install it onto a Virtual Machine, then?

Skyrim was designed to work using Windows XP. Any other operating system is going to involve some trade offs. Win Vista and Win7 require very few accommodations. And all of them have already been done with official patches to the actual game. Personally I think it actually works better on Win7 x64. - especially if you have more than 4Gig of system ram.

 

Linux requires a Windows emulator (Wine) and needs a lot of tweaking to get it to work. Then more tweaking each time the game is updated. Just changing a video card can require a week to track down install and tweak drivers - that is if you can even find a driver for that card.

 

With the problems I see people having with real Windows I wouldn't want the extra hassle involved with getting it to work properly using an emulator - especially with mods.

 

That said, my own experience with Linux is it can work very well - for some uses. But as a general use operating system such as Windows not as well. It really shines in closed systems where the ultimate user is not allowed to fiddle with it. Once you get it working properly, it is locked down - I used it in industrial controls where making changes in the system could actually be a physical danger to the machine operator. And in proprietary security installations where we didn't want any user or outsider to be able to access any of the actual system. We didn't even tell them what the operating system was. (A proprietary variant of SCO Xenix) The security setup in most Linux variants is much more secure and versatile than Windows.

Skyrim works flawlessy using Play on Linux and the steam version. I have 0 problem. everything is perfect.

The only issue is that I did not figured out yet how to install mods.

Linux is ready....already now.

I don't know if this is of any help....but the 'read me' file in the latest SKSE is out dated...the SKSE is no longer installed that way....Google 'Gophervids', he does a fantastic tutorial on how to install the SKSE....is very clear and precise.
