Blaubeerchen27 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Hello! I am facing a pretty strange problem right now - I have a perfectly stable modded game, today I decided to install a few more (nothing too heavy) and now, whenever I want to start the game it crashes to the desktop after a few seconds, even before the Bethesda Logo shows. Thinking it must have been one of the few new mods I unticked all the new plugins and made sure my mods were in a state I already had working, I sorted everything through LOOT (no errors etc.) and the problem still won't go away.I already re-installed Papyrus, no help. Verified game files too. I'm just really confused right now, everything worked fine a few hours ago. Edited May 30, 2019 by Blaubeerchen27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0eB0bJ0hns0n Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I'm having the same exact problem that you are. I tried to start up the game yesterday, last I remember it worked fine. I can't even see a process starting for skyrim, after launching there's just.... nothing.This includes vanilla Skyrim, which is worrying. Maybe Microsoft messed something up in a recent update?

Depending on when you last started the game, if you use SKSE it could be because the game got patched in the meantime and you need a newer version. But I doubt a new patch was released with the last few hours and I updated SKSE two days ago. Edit: Indeed, SKSE seems to be the culprit (the game works if started with the regular launcher), but since I didn't touch the files I have no idea how to solve this. Googling only shows that crashes BEFORE the Bethesda Logo are extremely rare in general. Edit2: Indeed, a faulty dll file in the SKSE folder was the culprit, probably since it wasn't updated to the newest version yet. I must've missed it when deactivating the newly installed mods, everything works fine again. Edited May 31, 2019 by Blaubeerchen27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DraxeusIII Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I have literally the same problem, could you release a step-by-step guide to advise us plebeians on how to successfully fix the game I spent 20 HOURS MODDING!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look into your Data/SKSE folder and see which mods place a dll file there (for me, the problem was SimplyKnock.dll), they have to be updated to the newest SKSE version in order for the game to work when starting it via SKSE shortcut. Disable the mods with dll and enable them one by one, so you can test which one is creating the problem. I deleted the "Simply Knock" mod, game started without a problem. Edit: And by diable I mean the plugin itself, deleting the dll manually does nothing, since the plugin will recreate it immediately.

If you don't use any mods which require SKSE it is most likely you are using an old SKSE version. Get the newest one from their website and you should be fine.

I mean that I have no SKSE folder in my Skyrim data folder. If it is somewhere else could you tell me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaubeerchen27 Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 If you do not SKSE at all your problem must be related to something else - but I guess, your game doesn't crash before the logo but after it played? Do you have mods installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have mods installed?I have mods, The game doesn't open or launch. I could re-download my skyrim, and redo my SKSE. It crashes even before the game launches, no opening of skyrim ever. it works only with specific mods, like the unofficial patch but not even SkyUI. Could it be an SKSE issue? If so, how would I successfully fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
