SKSE Asking to Update Skyrim

[Shiroi Alucard]

I tried to start Skyrim like I always do but this suddenly popped up and I haven't changed anything since before I last played last night, please help.

Also I have tried using a downgraded version of SKSE before posting.

If you get SKSE from here: http://skse.silverlock.org/ (click on active builds) and have the latest then what the popup is telling you is you need to update skyrim, NOT that "it" will update skyrim. Use steam to re-verify your files and it will check for any updates.

 

If you downloaded skse from somewhere else then you "could" have a virus. No plugin utility or mod should EVER modify and esm, esp or exe in the base game. If it does, then uninstall it immediately as it is a piece of junk that probably is going to break your game.

This is a version conflict between your TESV.exe and Skse_loader.exe {skse_loader} works by overwriting the memory block of TESV.exe so every other builds may not use same memory blocks as previous.. hence you have to update skse_loader.exe every time you update TesV.exe and vice-versa for downgrade. Do not mix the two every release of TESV.exe has a corresponding skse_loader release... so match the two and error will go away.

Check:

Right click on TESV.exe ->properties->details{file version 1.7.7.0}

skse_loader->properties->details{file version 0.1.5.11}

Check in folder there should be skse_1_7_7.dll {This is from my present install}

I followed everything you said, but I'm still getting the same "Please update to the latest version of Skyrim" even though TESV.exe is file version(1.7.7.0) and skse_loader is file version(0.1.5.11) I overwrote every file that comes with skse andd it still does the same thing.

Hmm... Strange.. Does your game launches without SKSE ?

What version it displays in game...

Get Latest SKSE from here

http://skse.silverlock.org/beta/skse_1_05_11.7z

 

and latest Update from bethseda redownload and check ...

POST your CRC for the files and see if it matches other users here...

BOTH SKSE and TESV.exe

alt you can get CRC from bethseda site and verify the files..

[Shiroi Alucard]

It starts but doesn't get past the intro(Menu doesn't appear).

That's the version I downloaded and installed, also what is CRC?

[icecold29]

CRC-Cyclic redundancy check.... or alternately Md5 # both can be generated through command line utility and confirms file is transferred from DTE to DRE without any change when transferred over a channel..{DTE-DataTransferEnd/DRE-Recieving} If it does not launch without SKE_LOADER then your install is corrupt.. Check if all BSA's are intact and nothing is ghosted... and then reinstall this time to another location like C:\Skyrim and use Wyre Smash to generated md5 so it indicates in future if something is corrupt

You can also remove/rename to see if it helps..

My skyrim directory for Refrence.. it it helps...

 

 

Or somebody more knowledgble can guide you, I am a noob too if you didn't guess..

This may be a silly question, but can you start your game and get past the point where you are crashing by NOT using skse? Just try starting the game through steam with the play button and see if you still crash.

 

If you already mentioned you can do this, then I apologize as I must have missed it.

No, it just brings up the "Please update to the latest version Skyrim" and it I don't start it with SKSE it just crashes before the menu.

So I found out my Skyrim.esm is ghosted, would that be the problem or would that mean most/all my other files are as well? o_o

I did tell you to check if nothing in ghosted in Post #7 {I learned it the hard way when i have to re install thinking my install is corrupt happen to me by launching TES Mod Manager for managing obmm archive for skyrim.. since then i have chucked everything out and decided to use Wyre smash instead.. At least it does not ghost it by itself. Converting all the installs to BAIN is time consuming but will get there eventually.. hope you didn't have to reinstall too
