[Guest Lady Luck]

Skyrim Creation kit known error

 

- CK booted properly on steam but crash after " TOPIC error"

- CK Does Boot but it ends with "CTD"

- CK Does Boot But error comes , if you ignore and it's also "CTD"

- Trying to use somebody Creation kit from steam , but has the same

version when booting the game " doesn't work at all"

 

 

This are list of Error on Ck you might encounter when entering dawnguard.

 

 

Here's a possible solution.

 

A)- CK Does Boot but it ends with "CTD"

 

Archive fixed Config

 

[Archive]

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

SArchiveList=Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - Voices2.bsa, Skyrim - Voices3.bsa, Skyrim - Voices4.bsa, Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa

SInvalidationFile=ArchiveInvalidation.txt

iRetainFilenameOffsetTable=1

iRetainFilenameStringTable=1

iRetainDirectoryStringTable=1

bCheckRuntimeCollisions=0

bUseArchives=1

SResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa

SResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, update.bsa, Dawnguard.bsa

 

 

you only need to copy and paste SResourceArchiveList2 i only post the correct setting make-sure you don't lost anything when you doing it here.

 

 

- CK Does Boot But error comes , if you ignore and it's also "CTD"

 

Same as step A Solution

C)- Trying to use somebody Creation kit from steam , but has the same

version when booting the game " doesn't work at all"

 

This mean the copy you using , the ck they have probably downloaded from steam along with dawnguard has updated version or different ini set up.

 

 

Extra info

 

- i did correctly based on your setting but i still get ctd?! WTF!

 

Calm down man , here's how you actually load With dlc on ck

 

Skyrim [x]

Dawnguard [x]

 

ignore update that's the one causing the bug , update.bsa is unnecessary for dawnguard because it's already hooked with the update that's why so many people have error in updated versions.

 

 

 

i hope this help some of you guys out there.
