Sexlab 1.58b causes TESV.exe process to hang before the window even shows...

So upon installing Sexlab 1.58b... I noticed... my Skyrim wouldn't start. TESV.exe sticks in Task Manager with around 50k-60k mem usage but never brings up the window.
Reverted back to 1.57, no issue, so I'm nearly 100% sure since I can reproduce the issue with reliability.
 
I also use Mod Organizer to keep my Skyrim install clean.
 
 
I have a hunch it has to do with the new SKSE plugin.. though this is just a hunch.
Reason being, I don't even get the main window showing up, not even showing the Bethesda logo. So it's possibly something loaded BEFORE the game starts proper... which made me think SKSE (I'm not a modder or even a coder, so correct me if my logic here is flawed).

 

To reiterate:

• I use Mod Organizer
• I'm running SKSE through Mod Organizer.
• I'm running SKSE 1.7.1 now, issues persist (problems started with 1.7)
• The problem never occurred in 1.57. Everything worked as intended.

Unfortunately, this issue seems to happen before a proper debug log can even start to record. I'll attach some later if I simply overlooked it, however, but I doubt this.

 

I'll be following the steps provided here and inform of my progress.

If your skse.log show that plugins loading stopped at storageutil.dll:

Try to replace storageutil.dll from SL1.57.

[Rabblerouser]

WELL, TnT...

Look what I found in my skse logs.

try deleting .json file sometimes this can clear the problematical file. or else try the one TnTTnT mentioned in his posts.

 

Also show what papyrus log looks like ??

[Rabblerouser]

Thank you, TnTTnT.

 

Your StorageUtil in the other thread solved my issue. My quesiton is.. why do I need an old StorageUtil in the first place? Why can't I run the one in 1.58b?

[D_ManXX2]

There is quick way test:

Download the latest storage util from here:

http://www.loverslab.com/topic/23713-papyrusutil/

And compare the size of the file from the one in sexlab if they are different maybe Ashal uploaded a corrupted file.

[Slammer64]

Most likely it's not a problem with with StorageUtil as it is with MO, after all, most of us who are not running MO aren't having any problems with StorageUtil.

Opened up Papyrusutilv23.zip up and seems the files match up byte for byte. Going to try and run with the PapyrusUtil v23 instead of the old Sexlab 1.57 one. Will report if it runs.

[Rabblerouser]

Yup. It matches up byte-for-byte and has similar results. Can't start the game with v23 of that papyrusutil.

[D_ManXX2]

Also try installing file directly in your game folder not where mod organizer has it. so install it in skyrim\Data\SKSE\Plugins and see it that makes any difference.

 

Where is it installed ??

I just compared them, both the framework (1.58b) and the PapyrusUtils (2.3) contain a storageutil of 635.392 bytes.

 

But SOS (Schlongs) contains a version of 485.888 bytes, even the new 2.05.030 version. So be sure tyou're loading the correct version if you use SOS.

[Rabblerouser]

So just install Sexlab as a whole in data and not in MO?

 

 

I'll do it, but I'm telling you, Sexlab 1.57 works smooth as silk when ran from MO.. and only things I have installed in the actual directory is SKSE and FNIS.

[Ashal]

just install papyrusutil 2.2 if you're having problems.

 

Or if you want to do something actually useful read this post: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/32003-sexlab-157-causes-corrupt-save-file/?p=841371 it's aimed at corrupt save issues with older versions of papyrusutil, but the same suggestion of helping find the cause applies here to 2.3 as well.

[Rabblerouser]

It's less an issue of save corruption for me. With 1.57, I had no save corruption, oddly enough. That issue seems to hint more that those people can actually start the game. This issue is more I can't even start the game with 1.58b whereas in 1.57, I could. Something changed in 1.58 that makes my TESV.exe hang while loading the new StorageUtil (figured such by reading the SKSE logs).

 

Apparently the game will boot when I use the old StorageUtil with the new Sexlab 1.58b. Will that cause issues (aside from the save corruption?). This is an issue even when I disable all mods save for SkyUI and Sexlab (SKSE 1.7 and FNIS 5.1 installed as well). TESV.exe still hangs

This skse.log is after waiting five minutes for the main window to come up.

 

I'm not really sure what use me going through those redistributables is.. unless you plan to revert to the old v22 PapyrusUtil, but narrowing down the save corruption. Which sadly, I haven't had issues with.

 

I'm thinking my issue (with two others) is more an issue of fixing what's up with v23 Papyrus that's stopping the game from loading at all. Maybe I'm talking out of my ass, but it seems to make sense to me.

 

 

Fuck me, I didn't read. Sorry. Leaving the text up, though in case it's useful.

 

Apparently I have all the redistributables and it still won't load with 1.58b. You want me to revert back to 1.57 and try to help fix the save corruption issue, maybe? By uninstalling and reinstalling those one-by-one?

 

I can try, but I never experienced any save corruption.

Followed those instructions. Posted the results in the other thread.
