Patch 1.5.62 WTF does it do?

[👁]

So SKSE is broken until they update it and the game is unplayable without it because I have mods installed.

So thanks Bethesda, WTF does 1.5.62 do? Were any bugs finally fixed, and if so, which bugs?

Copy and paste so you can stop being misinformed:

SKSE usually takes about 2-4 days to update, for those that don't want to wait you can revert back to the previous update by

pusing Win+R and type in
"steam://nav/console" (without quotes).

In the steam nav console type
"download_depot 489830 489833 4140371450004190946" (without quotes)

Once it's done open your file browser and open your steam apps folder and thenopen the content folder, then just take that Skyrim file and replace the one currently in your Skyrim folder and SKSE should work again until they release the update :)

100% correct and needs to remain the final post of this topic and every single topic that will soon be made about how "Bethesda wants to screw up our mods and make us pay for theirs!" which is patently untrue.

Back up your SkyrimSE.exe. That's all you have to do. Copy and paste it in the same folder for when you need it later.

So basically if you're not a hacker who knows extremely obscure and arcane code wizardry that only a small handfull of people will ever know about you're misinformed.

Got it.

WTF does patch 1.5.62 do you never answered.

How is it any different than the wizardry of SKSE? It's a 3rd party application that Bethesda doesn't support.

The patch does nothing but allow them to add to the Creation Club.

And I repeat: Back up your working SkyrimSE.exe and you'll never again have this problem.

SKSE is a simple download, unzip, and run.

You're talking about entering a hidden Steam console and entering code that no one should l be expected to know then navigating to a folder that's listed in the code to copy paste an executable you're hacking steam to download.

Thanks, it worked, but you don't have to be a ♥♥♥♥ about it.

By the way I still want to know what 1.5.62 does

You didn't read the other 3 or 4 topics on the front page about this? Then yeah, I reserve the right to be a little bit of a ♥♥♥♥.

I told you: Nothing you care about. It allows them to add to the CC. That's all it does. That's all the last 10 patches have done.

You should recognize that it's unreasonable to expect everyone to have read a bunch of posts they have no reason to know they should read and possess arcane information about how to Hack Steam buried somewhere in them.

Why did they need to update the main executable for that? Mods add custom assets and content all the time without touching it.

Simply stated, Bethesda is under no legal obligation to assure that third party mods always work. Whether their intent in creating the creation club was to discourage or cease the use of game mods, can't be verfied one way or the other. I will say this however, their creation club mods are, for the most part, useless to me anyway. It's correct to state if you make a copy of your SkyrimSE.exe is the immediate answer to the issue. While the update was dowloading ,and before installaton ,I went on this site and found the simple solution. After install and before launching the game I went into the Skyrim folder, copied the file, renamed the old file with a .bak extention and copied the old file backinto the folder. Worked fine. When the updated SKSE is posted I may go back into the folder and rename the bak file to exe. and move on. Or maybe not. Time will tell.

[Jouchebag]

I believe it has something to do with the way CC works as a built-in application. So, it's not Skyrim updating it's JUST the CC updating inside the Skyrim exe.

And yes, it's stupid. But it's also only a hassle to people using SKSE. Us modders like to believe we are the center of the Elder Scrolls universe but the fact is modding is a minority thing still. They aren't catering to the 20% who mod their games and the other 80% are unaffected.

Does someone know how skse64 is updated? Is it something automatic or shiould I do it manually? If so, how?

No, you simply need to go into your Steam options for this game and turn off the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ auto-updates.

Or just copy the .exe and rename it - replace the updated one after the update is downloaded.

Not rocket science.

Look, this 'update' cycle by Bethesda is total ♥♥♥♥. They do this CC stuff in the worst possible way (replacing the whole .bs2 archive in order to change a couple menu files to display new 'news') but all you have to do is turn off updates. You're already using SKSE so you just run the game through that.

You won't be missing *game* updates - there aren't going to be any more.

Its manual.

Check the site in a couple days and download the new version.

I don't understand why you'd even respond with something like this. Do you work for Bethesda? How do you think this is an appropriate response to anything anyone has asked or posted?

Yes, ufortunately I had to learn extremely obscure methods to hack steam to get that copy, which are apparantly buried somewhere in some other post.

I was playing Skyrim one minute, signed out to do something, tried signing back in 2 minutes later, and couldn't until I learned about the extrmely obscure arcane trick to hack steam and make it download a rollback executable.

No, its not unreasonable to expect you to read those posts to find the fix to your problem. Especially as this is a recurring problem, has happened a lot in the past, and will continue to happen a lot in the future, you need to put some effort in to finding the fixes.

But it is unreasonable to expect me to posess extremely obscure arcane information that isn't even posted on the first page of any of the posts on the first page, especially when I have no reason to know about these posts or know that I should read them.

Besides I wasn't posting to fix a problem because I assumed that all I could do was wait, I was posting to ask what the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ patch did.

This is the first time I've ever encountered the problem and the extremely obscure arcane solution I was given isn't exactly easy to come across.
