Misorian Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know where to find the changelog for Skyrim? (Special Edition in my case) Or any information about the updates?I tried the Bethesda net dev notes, but they haven't been updated for almost a year now (https://bethesda.net/en/devnotes)Would really like to see what gets updated and if a simple backup of my .exe file would do the trick next time aroundThanks in advance!

Mebantiza Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) This is why people need to install SKYRIM EXE AUTO BACKUP and FALLOUT 4 EXE AUTO BACKUPThen you won't have to go through all those hoops to get back an older game EXE This happens every single time. I have a not-terribly-helpful-method of preventing updates, that will work for almost...no one to share. The Creation Kit. Yes, really. Ive been working on a custom worldspace this last year and as a result, its file is often open in the background even a lot of the times when I am not actively working on it. Anyhow, I was working on it yesterday and had it open and, it is effectively locking the file down, preventing steam from doing anything to it. lol So, as long as I dont close the CK, reboot, or anything like that, steam cannot process the update I am...still good.  Disclaimer. This fix will hardly benefit any of you :tongue:. Wouldn't have helped me if I didn't have the CK running 90% of the time either.   On a related note: Steam and its update 'options' are figgen hilarious. You have three 'options' , which functionally, are for all practical intents, identical. Always update, Only update on launch, and, high-priority. :rolleyes:. Since, they all amount to pretty much the same thing, I have to wonder why they bothered at all. No matter which 'option' you chose, you are going to get updated. Probably a joke by steam Devs.  Equally funny is how Bethesda, has managed to turn something that almost every end-user is normally glad to see, that is, updates, into something almost universally hated. Never mind such updates, only very rarely contain any actual bug fixes or improvements. Few companies could achieve such a feat, and Todd It just works except when it doesn't Howard and his company, have managed to do just that. And Fallout 76. :down: Edited June 13, 2019 by Mebantiza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb54 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks! I had to follow the path - not posted here on this thread ... I found my d/l copy here, after following your specific download instructions: C:\Steam\SteamApps\content\app_489830\depot_489833. The skyrimse.exe file was there and I simply copied to the Skyrim SE root and IT WORKS!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aromov Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) That explains why the game just CTD'd on me all of a sudden. Boy it's going to be annoying to have to update any mods this might have broken if it did. Edited June 13, 2019 by Aromov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IfItsOnPCItsNotExclusive Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 While I doubt it would do any good maybe we should start a petition for Bethesda to stop forcing these Creation Club updates as many of us don't want to pay for what we can get for free.

luckymik Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I thought i messed something up with mod updates! Glad to hear it's just an update. Hope the code is going to be updated soon, can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ztokdo Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 ok i see, you need to close steam, then add -console to it, like https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=873543244Then enter the command-download_depot 489830 489833 6411417958676685207Find it, backup the current 1.5.80 executable, then just replace it. It's actually a lot easier than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
