Kain82 Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 I finally downloaded SSE last night, and decided to try it before I go to work today. But when I click new game, the game crashes to desktop. This happens on both a modded and unmodded SSE.
khumak Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Try launching it from Steam if you're running it for the first time. I think sometimes it forgets to copy one of the Steam DLLs over when you install it but does so the first time you launch the game from within Steam.
Kain82 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks for the reply, but that did not help. Also when I click play on the launcher or through Steam, the launcher pops up a second time instead, once I press play on the second launcher the game starts, but crashes when I click new game.
Kain82 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Posted May 17, 2017 Okay, I tried a fresh installed game and it starts fine. So the problem lies with mods. I don't know which mod could be causing the crash. The Update.esm, Dawngaurd.esm, Hearthfires.esm, and Dragonborn.esm are all dirty. Should I clean them or let them be? In my previous install I cleaned them. So I'm thinking that might be the problem? Also is the cleaning process for SSE the same as the original?
Kain82 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Posted May 17, 2017 Fixed it! The problem was that I had cleaned the Update, Dawnguard, Hearthfires, and Dragonborn esm's. This time I didn't clean them and it works!
Poet Olette Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 From experience its probably not best to clean anything unless someone says to do so. As ive been told some mods shouldn't be cleaned either.
Sladen2019 Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 You mustve cleaned them wrong somehow. Follow the instructions at this link and make sure your numbers match to whats shown at the bottom of the page. The DLCs and Update esms should be cleaned always. User made mods should only be cleaned if their mod authors suggest it. Some "errors" are there intentionally. https://afkmods.iguanadons.net/index.php?/topic/4110-manual-cleaning-skyrim-and-skyrim-se-master-files/
khumak Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 IMO there's no reason to clean the vanilla files. That's why we have USSEP, to fix issues with the vanilla game.
Kain82 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Posted May 17, 2017 Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. I am just looking forward to play Skyrim SE. Now I have to see if the game doesn't crash when nearing Riverwood and Whiterun, like in the original.
Tullinjr Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 friendly tip to help you out also. some mods even if the author says to uncheck a mod and then let his mod finish loading then recheck the ESP/ESM in the folder after his/her mod is installed and configured. sometimes that will not help as such example, rigmor of bruma and immersive armors. there is an issue between those two mods for some reason. as it stands now with the current dated files as of 5/17/17 those two files are incompatible. I load immersive armors wait for it to config then install rigmor mod and i CTD after about 20-30 seconds. i load rigmor then load game, save game, quit, install immersive armors, then load game back up and same thing happens again. its always best to install mods that have no conflict with each other ESPECIALLY with scripts untill SKSE is released to help solve these issues hopefully. hope the tip helps.

Yes, thank you for the tip. I do use Immersive Armors and saw that Rigmor of Bruma was converted. I was thinking about eventually trying it, but now I know not to run both.
