Vortex can't find skse64_loader.exe

[dollhobbs]

I keep getting this error when I try to start skse with Vortex. If I start using the desktop shortcut game starts but without the mods. I looked in the folder and it shows the skyrimSELauncher.exe but it doesn't show it as 64. I can't figure out what to do any help appreciated. It is a fresh install of Skse.[

It's looking for skse64_loader.exe NOT SkyrimLauncher.exe

You need to install SKSE64

Skse64_loader.exe needs to be in the same directory as skyrimLauncher.exe

Along with all the dll files that come with it, you either don't have skse64 installed, or you have it installed wrong

SKSE install

[ Installation ]

1. Copy the .dll and .exe files to your Skyrim SE directory. This is usually in your Program Files folder under Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\. If you see files named SkyrimSE and SkyrimSELauncher, this is the correct folder. Do not copy these files to the Data folder as with a normal mod. The "src" folder is only useful for programmers, most users can ignore it.

2. Copy the .pex files in Data\Scripts\ into the Data\Scripts\ folder of your installation. The .pex files are needed by all users of SKSE.
