Fix save thumbnail

[UntitIed]

 

Does any one know how to fix broken image in save? When I save , the screenshot is delayed (wrong image) or blank. I have installed Engine fixes and still get this problem 😕

It sorta happened out of no where. I only update Engine fixes and Skyui and this happened...

I see this too and the interesting (and slightly worrying thing) is that the save game screenshot can be several seconds old and from a random point in the game kinda suggesting the game is constantly taking screenshots then picking one from the end of its buffer to use when saving. I never bothered to look into it though, as I do not suspect spyware and this issue in general never bothered me enough.

 

Where I'd start:

1. Use ReSaver to verify that the screenshot is the same as show in-game.
2. Remove SkyUI and/or any other mod that alters the save game list menu and make sure the base game also agrees on what the screenshot should look like.
3. Remove mods with dlls in them, starting with CS, ENB and Reshade (the most likely mods that would contain a frame buffer of some kind).

Resaver shows the same broken save screenshot. Odd becasuse when I do a quicksave the save screenshot is what it should look like. It only is happening when I do normal save. I have used enb and never had this issue. I will try disabling mods and see if any fixes it

Found this thing in Engine Fixes SSE:

Quote

SaveScreenshots (default: true) - Fixes save game screenshots being blank when TAA is disabled.

 

Suggesting to me this is a vanilla Skyrim SE/AE problem rather than a mod problem. I can't remember when it started for me, but it could have always been there (post-LE). Since this also points to shaders like my ENB/CS/Reshade suspicions in the previous post I'd say playing around with the settings in Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini would be important in potentially solving this.

I found the issue . It was Sky Souls. I had updated it before and it is now causing that bug. Ill edit the ini and maybe fix but im not sure if that will fix it.

I assume you mean Skyrim Souls, the menu unpausing mod. I have that too. Not sure why it would cause the game to take screenshots a few seconds before a save is created though. A workaround of some kind perhaps?

 

Currently using: Skyrim Souls RE - Updated (Anniversary Edition)-27859-2-4-0-1708891708

 

Edit: While this mod works for me currently, it is definitely one of the mods I'd classify as very problematic. I only have it installed because being able to go into my inventory mid-combat to find that life-saving potion felt very unimmersive.

Yes that mod has gave me issues with other mods. May just remove it from my load order...
 

I downloaded an older version , the 2-4-0-1708891708 version, and it is working fine now. Very odd

Same version as me so you'll be disappointed sooner or later.

 

Anyhow, good find. I added it to my notes as the cause of the save screenshot issue. Going to keep running it regardless. May see about disabling the savescreenshots fix in Engine Fixes SSE to see if there's potentially a conflict here.
