Fatal: Could not find ini

[joethemusicman]

Sorry if this has been covered previously, but a search of the forums didn't return anything particularly helpful.

 

I'm following the guide for STEP: Core, and having trouble right at the tail end when you have to install and run DynDOLOD and TexGen. I get DynDOLOD Resources installed in MO just fine, create some dummy folders as the guide instructs, but then when I go to run the TexGen executable in MO, it stalls out immediately and says "Fatal: Could not find ini". Seems like this could be a stupid simple problem, but I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. Followed the instructions on the STEP guide to a T, and running into this wall right at the end.

 

Help would be much appreciated! Thanks y'all.

Hi. If you use MO, you mast add arguments "-sse"

Here's what the output window shows, seems like it has something to do with file structure or something:

Perfect. Thank you!

 

Maybe I missed something, but I think the STEP guide should include that little tidbit.

Start the games launcher once, so the registry is updated with the correct path information.

Hey guys, don't mean to bump an older thread so high, but I've started the launcher multiple times and my DynDOLOD and TexGen both still display this error.

Even bigger news, had deleted my skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini, ran the default launcher, and it doesn't generate any new .ini files in my Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition.

 

I assume this is what's causing the problem lmao

[sheson]

No idea what could cause that, but if the launcher can not create the INIs it probably does not create the registry entries either.

 

Reboot.

 

Make sure Skyrim is not installed into Program Files or any other special windows folder controlled by UAC.

 

Double check that not something like antivirus is interfering.

Have tried rebooting, installing Skyrim on not only C:\Steam but also D:\SteamLibrary, still no luck so far. Something's really messed up with the skyrim launcher unable to add/change the registry.

 

Will go look around for registry fixes. Have tried a couple but to no avail.

[sheson]

The launcher works fine. This is something with the OS or the general setup of steam or the game.

Having a very similar problem i guess but mine is way shorter so something is up..

Is all i am getting. the Scirpts Path is correct for the location of my game but the Temp Path has nothing in it and not sure what it is trying to do there.

 

I've ran the game multiple times and still nothing..both the SKSEvr and regular SkyrimVR.exe files..watched hours of videos for install and it seemed fairly simple..i mean not as easy as any other mod but not to difficult to follow. Still this has been giving me problems all day.

The first window that pops up before that log above says:

Fatal: Could not open registry key: \SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softwords\Skyrim Special Edition\

This can happen after Steam updates, run the game's launcher to restore registry settings

Verify game is starting in the desired game mode. Current mode: SSE

 

sorry for the 2nd post...wouldn't let me edit it again :)

 

 

nvm i'm an idiot...didn't put TES5VR in the shortcut target...put -sse instead

i don't know what cause it, but i fixed it by just turning of windows defender/antivirus

[juliovoughan]

hi i have or i had this problem and i fixed him by putting this code on the command line in nexus: -sse -o:"the folder you want that the lod archives be generated", ( idk where is this option on mo), ps: the "..." is the location of the folder, i expect that i can help anyone with this.
