Tried everything but: SKSE + Mod Organizer = CTD

[stamstamstam]

Hello,

 

Before starting this topic, I've been looking for a solution for a long while.

I followed different "tutorials" in order to make SKSE work along with Mod Organizer, but every time I use SKSE through Mod Organizer, the game CTD on launch.

 

I have the latest versions of both programs, no mods activated, the game works fine when using skyrim launcher/skrim exe through Mod Organizer.

Of course I copied .exe and .dll in the main skyrim folder, and archived the scripts in a new .rar that was added to mod organizer.

 

But what the hell? Nothing works.

When using SKSE WITHOUT Mod organizer, I mean copying the files the regular way, it works.

 

It's clearly the combination of both programs that doesn't work.

And I can't use my mods if I don't use Mod Organizer to start the game.

 

Please help me, it's getting very frustrating.

Sounds like INI files were bad, like I said at the beginning. Skyrim Launcher should fix the INIs for the profile being run.

It keeps happening randomly.

After a (short) while, it starts crashing again, and I have to start the skyrim launcher again.

 

What INI files are you talking about? The one I had to create inside SKSE folder?

[DoubleYou]

Profiles have their own Skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini that can be accessed via the INI Editor in the Puzzle menu.

 

Or it could be you have a bad value in skse.ini. Or skse.ini could be skse.ini.txt and you not realize it.

skse.ini is named correctly.

 

Can you give me further explanation about your first comment, and a possible way to fix that?

Well, if the ones in Documents/My Games/Skyrim don't crash, and the ones in your profiles do, I'd copy and replace them.

What he sais. I reckon that your crash issues do not have to do with SKSE at all, but with some (accidently) bad profile INI editing.

 

For having a 'pristine' INI, you may delete the .ini files in your My GamesSkyrim folder (backup first, except you didn't change them) and launch Skyrim from SteamLibrary. Let the launcher set your resolution etc. That'll produce new .ini files in above folder. Now copy the whole Skyrim.ini, and in your Mo profile open the INI Editor (not the configurator) and highlight the whole Skyrim.ini there, then hit paste. Repeat for SkyrimPrefs.ini

 

Mind, you'll have to do that for every profile except Default (which you hopefully never touched).

 

Now you can repeat the Step 2.2.9 INI Tweaks section and adjust the INI files in Mo. The INI Configurator reduces the risk of accidentally edit a wrong line.

 

Test if that helped.

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

 

Since the crashes are pretty random, I'm gonna test that and see if things are getting better.

Cheers!

If the crashes are random, are you certain you got the Memory Patch correctly configured? Generally speaking, the vanilla game is not CTD-prone when using ENBoost + Skyrim Memory Patch + Unofficial Patches.

You mean adding this

GiveFirstBornToSheson=1

to skse.ini?

[Nearox]

No that parameter is no longer necessary since the memory patch has been integrated into SKSE.

 

Can you install Memory Blocks Log and post the report here after stress testing the game (i.e. until it crashes)? You can find the log in MOoverwriteSKSEPlugins folder.

Make sure you're running SKSE 1.7.1 and in the INI you only have:

[General]ClearInvalidRegistrations=1[Memory]DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768ScrapHeapSizeMB=256

...which the INI should be located in the SKSE folder.

[stamstamstam]

I don't have any more CTD on launch issues now, but I have instead issues with my character getting stuck randomly and making it impossible to play.

It's probably related to a mod I have installed from a custom list, it's hard to track because it's completely unpredictable.

 

Thanks for your help anyway, you were very helpful.

[Nearox]

Stuck as in, screen freezes and you cannot do anything? That could still be related to incorrect SKSE settings. Pleade do post memory blocks log so we can verify :)

The way they said it, it sounds as if the player character is getting "caught" on a mesh (navmesh or otherwise).

[stamstamstam]

I barely had time to actually play the game, but I had to restart from scratch 3 times (fresh install, fresh new character).

Just got out of Helgen tho, I don't if my character will get stuck out there too.

Basically, the character is running by himslef, but I can't rotate or perform any action, he's just running endlessly on the same spot (cardio?).

It happened mainly during the dragon attack sequence.

Reloading seems to solve the problem because it doesnt happen at the same spot twice.
