Error: -"refresh_rate_fix_dll" (<manually installed>): error code 114

[Coco]

SKSE wont start, it spits out this error when I try. I'm using vortex mod mngr. I've tried looking it up with no luck, can anyone help?
Thanks

You can try adjusting for this by running the game as an administrator.

Next, that .dll appears to belong to this mod "Monitor Refresh Rate Uncap" https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/31613?tab=posts

The modpage says the mod is deprecated and to replace it with "SSE Display Tweaks" https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34705

Additional commentary: i'm only guessing this next item, but we tend to see more of this sort of thing if your game is installed in Programs (x86). if your game IS installed in C:\Programs (x86), consider moving your Steam and games elsewhere on that drive or to another installed drive. See https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129&l=

Also, is running higher fps worth the extra hassle to you? I don't need to know the answer to that, but it is something you might want to reconsider.

Are you using SSE Engine Fixes?

that error code looks as if it's related to that mod.

if so make sure you are using the mod
Address Library
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/32444

Also Microfsoft C++
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0

Edit: yes, seems it is related to Engine Fixes

Thanks for the suggestions! Running it as admin didn't help.

I knew it was related to that mod but it doesn't make sense as I don't think I have that mod installed, I think I did at some point but I don't think I got it working and deleted it.

And most of my steam library is on my D: drive if that helps

You think you had one of them installed "at somepoint" or both of them "at some point" (most likely not at the same time)?

Either way whichever one you used in the FAQ on each mod page it says that's a normal error message, they both (each mod page) says to ignore it. But you say your game won't start - so:

You'll have to track down which changes those mods implemented.

two things:

First I agree with Mikk011 when he says
"Also, is running higher fps worth the extra hassle to you? I don't need to know the answer to that, but it is something you might want to reconsider."

Second: if you can't track the error and since you are no longer using those mods you will need to perform a "Clean Vanilla Reinstall" (and then set up your mods again):

Edit: I forgot as I meant to start my post off with:
Are you absolutely sure Address Library is installed? I ask because that will cause that error. Anyway - Just checking.

According to nexus I only had the first one downloaded.

No the FPS is not a big deal to me, hence why I gave up trying to make the mod work, it wasn't worth the hassle.
Thanks for the info, I'll try and see if I can find the changes cause I really ***really*** don't want to reinstall my mods. It was a "add one or two each play sesh" kinda thing so I ended up with 100+ that idk how they all work together and to go back and do it in one go is something I just don't have time for anymore.

Thanks!

Yes;
"Address Library for SKSE Plugins - All in one"
And if Vortex is to be trusted, its version 2

Edit: Would reinstalling the address library help? or just break things?

Max I'm not trying to give you a hard time but - what? you don't know how they all work together?

OK modding this game does have a learning curve so don't feel frustrated as hard as it may be not to. This game is fun do mod but like anything else it seems harder than it is at first. Don't let it overwhelm you as it's pretty basic stuff once you learn and you already began that learning process.

ALSO: First follow the steps in the video I gave you (which is also in my guide). The video is made by Michael of GamerPoets who has a knack for clear & concise explanations. It's only a 2 minute video so the process is not long yet it must be follow to the letter.

No it would not hurt.

Reminds me, did you try to verify your game files thru steam?

[Vlad 254]

Wait, don't use the All-in-one version. Just use the version for your game to be absolutely sure this is not the problem.

Check and make sure but the version you should have is 1.5.97

(btw: verify the game files and this will also make sure you have that version)

I know it's easy, just time consuming. I could have worded it better... more like I have a few conflicting and overlapping mods that I took like half a day to sort out, not that it was hard, just took time seeing which mods went in what order. It is very easy, but I did that already and I just wanna play the damn game now, if you know what I'm getting at, lol.

I have not, I'll try that. I've done it before but I don't remember what effects it has on the mods, do i just have to re apply them? I can't remember

[Vlad 254]

If you cleaned your masters You'll have to reclean them. That's it. Oh and you'll have to run your game to the main menu from your Steam Library to the main menu NOT into the game itself. just to them menu where it reads your graphic card as this also configs your game ini's. THIS IS A MUST. Also needs to be done after you verify the game files but BEFORE you clean your masters

I never use the All-in-One

So I did all that
I verified the files twice and it wont even launch thru steam (which only slightly concerns me...) and I downloaded 1.5.97 and I still get the same error...

EDIT: nvm I disabled the mods and it launches thru steam, thats on me

what do you mean won't launch? you mean you can't launch as if you were going to play? Because I didn't want you to launch that far. Only to the menu not the main full screen menu.
