Where do I edit screen size in Skyrim with Script Extender?

[Mike Hawthorne]

Hi

In regular Skyrim and Skyrim SE with out Script Extender I can edit the preferences file in my Users directory and change the resolution to 3440 by 1440 and it works fine.

But in the version with Script Extender it has no effect at all.

Where do I change the screen size in the SKSE version?

I read through part of a thread, and the guy that had the problem solved it by changing the setting through Geforce Experience which you probably have if you use an Nvidia GPU. Apparently you can also change the ini file then make it read only so the game can't change it, but that might have some bad side effects like being unable to change settings through the game/launcher.

Hi

I realized that the problem isn't that I can't edit the size but that when I install Script Extender it always associates with the old version of Skyrim and and reinstalles it.

What I need to kow is how do I get it to associate and open Skyrim SE?

The reason that I couldn't change the size was because I was editing the new version, and not the original version of Skyrim, which does run fine in 3440 by 1440 resolution.

Both versions will run without problems it's just that I can't get Script Extender to run with Skyrim SE.

Special Edition has a seperate version of SKSE, called SKSE64 which you can get from here[skse.silverlock.org]. It's the "Current SE build" link.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Ok, it's as I thought, I've done this before.
I download the one that says Skyrim SKSE but when I try and apply it it always updates the vanilla skyrim and leaves Skyrim SE unchanged.

This is the discription...

"Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE)
by Ian Patterson, Stephen Abel, Paul Connelly, and Brendan Borthwick (ianpatt, behippo, scruggsywuggsy the ferret, and purple lunchbox)"

Current build 1.7.3: install via steam - installer - 7z archive (readme, whatsnew, latest forum thread)

I guess for now I'll just do without it.

Or look into how to do it manually.

Yeah you gotta use the 7z archive, i'll link it here[skse.silverlock.org]. Manual installation is very simple and it's just a drag and drop.
