SOLVED: Engine Fixes in Skyrim 1.6.1170. Anyone happen to know the secret of avoiding an error when loading skyrim?

[anjenthedog]

Using these source files

 

I installed Engine fixes per instructions. part 1 using the mod manager, and part 2  manually

 

Unfortunately, when I load Skyrim SE using SKSE loader after the installation, I receive the dreaded error flag

 

 

I also tried using the SSE Engine Fixes - Modified toml file only for SSE 1.6.1130 and v1.6.1170 modifed toml "solution" with the same results

 

Game loads, and the last save loads without apparent error, but it leaves me uncertain and hesitant to install any further mods or make new saves until I've fixed it.

 

the d3dx9_42.log file posts this after I exit back out 

skse64 plugin preloader - d3dx9_42
exe path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\SkyrimSE.exe
loaded into SkyrimSE.exe or SkyrimVR.exe, proxying SkyrimSE d3dx9_42 funcs and registering preload hook

I would be suspicious of any other dlls you have installed. Most likely why it can't find the segment is because it has been modified. I.e. its looking for a pattern that is no longer there because something else already modified it.

 

Edit: Example here.

I believe your problem is with Animation Limit Crash Fix, not Engine Fixes.  Test your game without that mod, and you shouldn't see that error.

Thank you!

 

worked like a charm.

You can use both. You just need to disable the animation fix from Engine Fixes as per Anim Limit Crash Fix description (it's mentioned under Incompatibility).

Yup. Stupid me. After I resolved it, @bondjamesbond ansswer prompted me to go back to the webpage for the mod, and It has a blurb about how it's incompatible with engine fixes unless you disable a setting. I failed to notice it when I installed the newest verison.

 

Incompatibility
SSE Engine Fixes - the option AnimationLoadSignedCrash must be disabled in the EngineFixes.toml (EngineFixes.ini in old versions) file to make it work together with the patch.
