Infinite main menu screen

What can generally cause it?

 

I was stupid enough that I've blindly updated and removed several mods, because I wanted to start a new playthrough anyway and now when I start the game. I only see a logo, then the main menu background with the smoke appears and that's it. My mod list haven't changed that much (at least I thought so), removed Apocalypse, Growl, Sacrosant and their patches. I've used a new vortex profile with separate save files so no saves are in the game. Bad thing is that even when I remove the new mods I've added it doesn't help. Still infinite waiting.

 

I have too many plugins but majority of them are patches for patches of patches,, therefore ESPs flagged as ESLs.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

For me, an infinite load screen can be caused by

 

  • an LE mod that is sufficiently incompatible with SE. (usually contains scripts and addressing that doesn't conform and causes the game to go belly up)
  • an overload of installed, loaded animations
  • exceeding the mod count limit *(ie non esl flagged)
  • an unrecognized mod conflict (ie when deploying, the mod manager fails to catch some mod conflict)
  • ....... possibly, a poorly written mod.

That's the problem. Like I said, I didn't really add any obscure mods from loverslab, tumblr or some chinese or russian pages I don't understand :wink:. I've just removed couple of armor mods I wasn't using, some mods by Enai and replaced Apocalypse with Mysticism Magic, I've converted Inconsequential NPCs Visual Overhaul myself and added Great Towns of Ivarstead, Shor's Stone and Mixwater Village (and like thirty patches for these) but even if I remove all these files i've added nothing changes. I'm at 244 esp which is ten less han when the game was still working, no new animations, just Complete Combat and Archery Overhauls which are using together thousands of others at the moment. I've rebuild the Nemesis just to be sure.

Sorry that I'm rumbling, but I'm recollecting and remembering what I've done over these two days.

Ok....

 

When you uninstalled, did you

  1. uninstall the first one
  2. open the game
  3. make a new save
  4. close game clean savefile using Fallrim and save results
  5. repeat 1-4 for each mod *uninstalled
  6. install first new mod
  7. go to game ensure proper operation
  8. if true
  9. exit and install next
  10. check game again.
  11. repeat and rinse 6-9 as necessary

 

^^^^ that is the only way I know to ensure things are going to go well.

 

Bulk uninstallations or installations are fraught with potential issues and game failures.

 

Now, maybe you did. if so, my apologies for sounding condescending. if not, perhaps you can backtrack and do it "right"

Nope, I was stupid even after all these years of moding, but I had no plans to go back to these saves so I've risked it without checking it everytime. And it never happened to me before. But I still think that the main menu should at least load. Now I'm removing these additions mod by mod and still nothing. I've even removed some SKSE plugins which were working before like Quick Loot. It has to be something outside of the load order.

Returning in my own footsteps helped i guess because I've actually found the source of my problem! The Waterplants! Disabling that fixed everything. Thank you for your time.
