Major CTD solved

[Hanx53]

Playing Skyrim SSE for ages with a heavily Modded setup. Just yesterday a major CTD. Game would not even start. Having gone through my 255 mods (only 251 shown as active in MO2) - [Yeah, I know I'm greedy] - without a solution I disabled them all and started adding just 4 at a time then running LOOT, then FNIS, then SKSE64loader.

FINALLY, the solution was that SKSE64 was recently updated and this meant that skee64.dll was causing the problem.

(Essential part of RaceMenu and XPMSSE. - Reason being that Racemenu was also updated.

If You are suffering a similar problem I would suggest updating these Three Mods first before messing about with your other Mods. It may save you some sweat and tears.

Hope this helps.

(n.b. you will probably still get a warning about skeevr.dll not being compatible but that's nothing to worry about IMO)

Alternatively, you could just not update SKSE64 since 2.00.17 works just fine with game version 1.5.97 and all of the game- and SKSE-version dependent mods. I read the Update notes on SKSE64 2.00.18 and didn't see any earth-shaking reason to update it (other than to test Vortex's ability to install SKSE64 just by dropping the SKSE64 7z archive into Vortex's Drop Files area and clicking "Install.") :woot:
