Black screen with the compass on new game

[apenney]

Hi guys,

 

I just ran through and installed almost everything in the 2.2.5 guide as I was feeling like risking it, using Mod Organizer.  When I start up via SKSE it gets me to the main menu but starting a new game gives me nothing but a black screen with the compass (that flashes once) at the top of the screen.  I went through the SKSE logs and everything else I can find logwise but I'm not seeing any errors, it just sits at that point forever.

 

Has anyone else seen this?  My new step was to start disabling big chunks of mods until I hit the chunk that's causing it, but that's going to be unfun.

 

Edit: I disabled every ESP/ESM and it still doesn't work which is scary. If I just start with skse.exe (not via mod organizer), it works ok.

Well, I tried deselecting/disabling every single installed mod in the profile and it left me with a main menu with no background, and instead of fonts just []'s all over the place.

 

Nothing I do gets mod organizer to be happy. It seems like even if I deselect all the mods it still symlinks them in upon running, breaking things.

Well, it sounds like what might happen if you removed the default assets from the data folder.  I wonder if there's something wrong with your Mod Organiser setup, so that it's presenting an empty virtual data directory?  I haven't used in it ages, but presumably there's some settings for default folder locations in there somewhere.  That's where I'd look first.
