How long does it take for a typical Skyrim SE update to finish?
So Bethesda fixed Skyrim SE today. But now I can't play it because everyone keeps adding mods to SKSE64, which isn't getting updated enough. Do you guys have a good idea when these fixes will finally happen? Thanks.
I believe SKSE64 needs a fresh update from the creators. For now, just wait a bit and try this trick instead. Usually, swapping out SkyrimSE.exe for an older version that works is enough. Go to https://steamdb.info/depot/489833/history/ and find where SkyrimSE.exe was added to Steam history. Look at the "Manifest ID" in that entry when you want your specific exe released. Then, press win+R to open Run and type: download_depot 489830 489833 <Put here the Mainfest ID from step one> Once the download finishes, the console will tell you where your new file goes. Replace SkyrimSE.exe in your install folder, but make sure to change your skyrim...
I think SKSE64 needs a new version too. Just wait a bit. While that happens, try this trick. Usually, swapping out SkyrimSE.exe for an older file works well enough. Go open https://steamdb.info/depot/489833/history/ to see the history of skyrimSE.exe versions. Find the line with the date when you wanted the new exe released, then look at "Manifest ID" in that spot. Open Windows Run (press win+R), and type steam://nav/console inside it. When that console pops up, paste: download_depot 489830 489833 <Put here the Mainfest ID from step one>. Once the download finishes, the console tells you where to save your file. Now, put skyrimSE.exe in your game folder. Don't forget to change your Skyrim update settings and only start playing through the SKSE launcher so it doesn't get too many new updates for you.
Yeah, wow, thanks so much! I came back to the game after two years, hacked it up, played for a few hours... then the update happened and I was like, seriously? I forgot about stopping auto-updates, so I thought it was too late. So I followed your instructions and it worked. The only thing is that my modded game shakes for 2 seconds before loading on the Bethesda splash screen. The screen goes black and the music plays a loop of tick, tick, tick... It used to do this before the update, but now after replacing the exe it feels slightly longer? At first I tried to cut to desktop with the stopped response window, but that was canceled and it went back to the game. It might be because some mods updated probably to patch for the new release. One of them claimed the Great City of Winterhold was missing because one of the few mods updating to this version was needed so I put it back to an earlier version (which Vortex tracks) and cutting to desktop stopped, though the shaking continued. No idea what the shake is, but it doesn't seem to affect the game at all. I haven't seen any bugs yet. I did play a couple saves after your fix and they all look fine. Fingers crossed! Thanks again!
