Skyrim SE goes permanent black screen after loading save by myself or after dying.

[Zekthros]

The worst thing about this problem is that it's a bit random, sometimes it'll happen after three loadings/dyings or sometimes it'll happen after several ones, and i don't know what's causing it.

- I sort load order with LOOT and fix ITMs with the SSEdit, this ain't the problem (they're updated too).

- This also happens in a new save.

- I tried reseting the INIs and using the BethINI and the recommended tweaks, but it keeps happening.

BUMP

[anjenthedog]

I don't see anything particularly alarming in your list, or at least that stands out to me...erm, with the *possible exception of the bashed patch.

 

I don;t use bashed patches myself (I'm just not familiar), but I *have read several posts where people had issues that turned out to be associated with bashed patches.

 

 

Aside from that, I had an issue with existing saves when my game got updated a month or so ago (steam hiccuped, and I had to "play online" to get it working again...automatic update ensued...since resolved that steam confg fwiw)

 

When I got the game running again (SKSE 2.0.17, replacing a bunch of mods that had SKSE dependencies), all my old saves (one char at level 62, another at level 50-something) acted that way. load to black screen. I overrode the fade-to-black transitional stuff in the ini file and during subsequent loads, found all my saves were t-boned with no menu no console, forcing a ctrl-alt-del to task manager to shut down the game. I eventually gave up and started a new game and all has been well (ish) since.

 

try creating a new game. (yes I heard that groan)

 

best I can offer to your bump.

Hmm, i don't think making a new game would fix it since it also happens on those (i already tried with a new save).

 

I'll try to disable the bashed patch, maybe that's my problem, thanks for replying anyways.

Ok, so you already tired tried a new game. That's what I was getting at. if you'd already said that earlier, I guess I missed it.

 

Good luck

Well, looks like the black screen problem after loading was gone, but now a CTD seconds after going outside happens.

 

I'm done with these problems, off to reinstall Skyrim, uninstall all mods and install those that i consider essential.

 

Game got modded until it broke.

Since the last update of Skyrim SE ( the AE update) broke the game for those like me that forgot (and didn't know update is coming) to disable updates in steam....

the mods dependent on SKSE doesn't work. So disable all SKSE dependent mods and your game will run with the mods that doesn't depend on SKSE.

Then you gonna have to deal with another problem... the game will run okay but when you save and try to load your saves will freeze on black screen right after your save have been loaded....

that is caused because after the update the game uses Visual Studio 2019 instead of the 2015 one.

What really happens is that the game load too fast and some of the follower mods (maybe all or even non-follower mods ) don't have enough time to load so when the system try to grabs the reference of the mod to put into the alias, the script runs too fast and the mod's reference haven't got enough time to load, so the script attempts to fill the alias with a Null, causing the game to crash.

The temporary solution is to disable all follower mods until better solution.

 

Disable SKSE (not gonna work anyway) and all mods that depend on SKSE, also all mods that depend on mods that depend on SKSE.... You can still launch the game from your mod manager with the rest of your mods but if you want to avoid the crash after loading (the black screen) you need to disable all follower mods ( or at least most of them... some work fine)... after you do that the game won't have the black screen issue but if you try loading your save that was made with all the SKSE and follower mods, it might corrupt your save. Make sure you back them up before trying to load them. If it works you are lucky ... if not ... well consider starting new game with no followers and no SKSE mods until all this is resolved.

No SKSE, No Followers, No Physics mods...

You can use new lands, quests, non-physics armors and weapons etc.

So i have absolutely 0 mods on my game as i as going for a full achievement run on steam. However, I am having the exact same issue. I've only been running Creation Club additions so i figured it was that however when I deleted all the Creation Club additions, it still loaded with the same result. A black screen with sound and whenever i press anything it pops up with a windows window saying it has stopped responding and i am forced to close it down... have any idea on why ? because i've tried absolutely everything i've seen online and i still have no idea what is wrong with it...
