SKSE64 wont start? (solved)

[Pokemon_Kid]

i keep trying to play sse with skse64 but my shortcut wont work. the black box thing pops up for a nanosecond like normal but nothing happens. there is a skyrim thing in my task manager but the game wont start. plz help.

edit: i am useing a old version of skse and sse so i will try updateing them.

edit 2:update partialy worked (the game now loads) but now whenever i click on my skse64 shortcut the game tryes to load via steam and will only load the normal sse and not skse64. even going into my sse common folder and manualy clicking the skse64loader wont work

edit 3:the next thing i will try is uninstaling my most reasently added mod. (worked) (game works now)

You arent the only one with that issue except I have no mods requiring SKSE64 yet whenever i press the shortcut it just flickers and quits the game like yours.

the mod in question was actualy a skyrim legendary version mod that i tryed to use on sse but failed. not a skse64 mod

For those of you who is not getting this issue due to mods, it's because you have a newer version of skyrim SE that the current skse64 version is not compatible with. Here's how to fix this problem (FYI: This was in 2021, It might not work anymore):

If you use vortex, Download skse64 Using vortex (you can trigger a download notification by removing skse64 if you already have it from your Skyrim Special Edition folder, when it pops up, click Download using Vortex), Press Windows + R and type this: steam://open/console, once the steam console opens, type this in the command executor: download_depot 489830 489833 2289561010626853674, It will download a former version of skyrim that is compatible with the latest SKSE, when it's downloaded, Copy the path and paste it into the File explorer, then copy the downloaded SkyrimSE.exe into the skse64 folder located in your Vortex's Mod managing folder. Then go into vortex and redirect the skse64 location from your Skyrim Special Edition Steam Folder into the skse64 in the Vortex folder, And boom, It should run just fine.

I know it might be a bit hard to understand, I apologize for that. You can Search up the details (like how to copy paste text into the file explorer and such) to figure it out. This is just a brief explanation of how I solved this. I hope this helps.

The current version of SKSE64 is FULLY compatible with the current version of SSE (or vice versa). The last SSE update requiring SKSE64 to be updated was way back in November 2019 - and SKSE64 was updated within hours of that, and has since received 2 additional updates unrelated to SSE. Anyone who insists on necroing a TWO year old post, should at least give accurate information.
