slainia Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Just wondering...do you have the steam update that came out yesterday? it was in beta for a while, so if you opted into it that may be a possibility. it's crashing my ck b/c 1.8 skyrim isn't compatible with it.

Aliera Caine Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 @subtanker: Now that the Beth 1.8 patch is released, the CK is not working for all esps using Update.esm. Rumor is that the CK will be updated soon. When? Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve40 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 No, the OP posted his problem before the 1.8 patch came out, plus the patch doesn't make the CK CTD, it makes an error about Update.esm pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliera Caine Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Good point, Steve. Just didn't want him to get discouraged if he tried out an established esp that relied on update.esm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWelf Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) After starting up the creation kit i get a message saying the creation kit has stopped working. And then it says that windows cannot find the solution. Earlier I had an issue with it being unavailable but a reinstall of the CK makes start, not i just get the message box during initializing archive...Not sure what to do, I've checked the integrity of the files and even redownloaded Skyrim. The CK used to work on my computer but that was a few months ago. Now it can't get past start up. I am having a similar problem with the CK since the 1.8 patch came out. Whenever I load a .esp file thats dependent on update.esm ( or even just loading up skyrim.esm and update.esm to start a new mod) It says Update.esm is a higher version than this .exe can load, I click yes to all, then it says it cant find masterfile update.esm, and then CTD's. Only noticed it today when I was trying to load up a mod I was working on. Anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this??? EDIT: Well reinstalling the CK seems to have fixed it.

UnknownX12 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Also, what are your specs and what are you loading? Only the skyrim-masterfile? Or also a big worldspace? For example: 2 GB ram+skyrim master + 4kx4k Worldspace = crash in Ck (with 4 GB ram loading is no problem). Also: Do what was told u from in the 2nd post (i think): Do not click ANYWHERE. Load Ck, get away from the Comp, have a smoke/s***/drink come back and enjoy it. If this does not work, let us know again.

Deleted800173User Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hey guys, Im back. Tried all you advice, no luck. Even tried turning off my firewall. Also tried letting it sit there for 17 mins after starting with without pressing anything. I cannot even get to the menu to load the esps or esms so it shouldn't have anything to do with that.

steve40 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Try updating the CK again, the new version just came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted800173User Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 I have it updated. This is really disappointing that I can't get it working. I've actually written all my mod notes on paper. I only have to technically write one more room and its not an important one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliera Caine Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 @subtanker: Could this stem from some mod or two? Some people have had troubles with certain ENB dlls and with ScriptDragon. Also, some get to the part where the CK is initializing face gen or windows and then it tanks. Maybe test it clean with only skyrim and the ck, nothing else added. And verify cache while you are doing that. For some people, doing the verify cache numerous times worked. For this test, I would just keep a separate copy of your skyrim folder with mods under another name like *.bak, then you can switch it out when you want to play the game.
