Animated Armoury isn't working?

[richieandjane]

USING VERSION 2.1 OF ANIMATED ARMOURY (2.3 caused non-katana weapons to have katana animations) All of the animations have stopped working. All of 'em. Every single one. Halberds are swung like battleaxes, rapiers like swords, pikes like greatswords. I have run Nemesis and the downgrader. Load order/modlist:

Any ideas?

[Fear2288]

It relies on both SKSE and Address Library, both were recently updated to work with version 1.6.640 but AA has not been updated - it may need to be in order to function with the new SKSE, Address Library, or other game files altered by the update.

[richieandjane]

But I used the downgrade patcher. is that not enough?

[Fear2288]

As I have learned recently, updates usually don't ONLY change the .exe - they can alter/change/replace other game files. So if AA uses those files, the update changed them, and the downgrader just replaced the .exe - then AA may not function correctly until it gets updated.

[richieandjane]

Okay. Balls. I guess I'll be doing that full-downgrade thing with SteamDB. What number was the last version?

[Fear2288]

Before last weeks update?

I believe it was 1.6.353

Honestly though, the reality seemed to be that the only way to ensure 100% that your game retained it's full 1.6.353 version was if you had made a backup of your entire Skyrim Special Edition folder prior to that update.

[richieandjane]

Thanks.

[richieandjane]

Okay, um, even the SteamDB downgrade didn't work. Any other ideas?

[Fear2288]

I really don’t know what this “SteamDB” downgrader you’re referring to is.

If the issue is stemming from the fact that the update(s) altered game files AA uses, and these various downgraders you’re using only replace the .exe - that could be your issue.

You would need a completely untouched game folder from 1.6.353 AND you’d have to make sure any other mods you’re trying to use haven’t been updated to run with 1.6.640

Also, which version of AA are you using?

The original version that hasn’t been touched since 2020 or the DAR version?

Looking at the patches, I’m gonna guess the original?

Have you been playing with it for awhile and it just stopped working? Or did you just recently try it and found it not functioning?

If you effectively rolled back all your game files to 1.6.353 you could try using the DAR version instead, that’s what I was using and it worked fine on version 1.6.353

Cant use the DAR version yet on the newest update as DAR needs to be updated.

Did you recently download any new mods that would’ve touched combat animations?

Just keep in mind that if you are using the original version, you’re using an outdated and unsupported version. The mod maker moved on to the DAR version and he will unlikely update his original one to function correctly with the newest version of the game.

[richieandjane]

I AM using the DAR version. I've been playing with it for a while and it just stopped functioning. The only mod with animations that I downloaded recently is...well...um...OStim. Don't judge me.

DAR needs to be updated, huh? Maybe that's it. I'll wait for the update, see if that works. However, I'm not using the most up-to-date version of DAR Animated Armoury - I tried it a while back, but it made literally every sword in the game have katana animations.

[richieandjane]

No sign of a DAR update. I have tried next to every single downgrade method on the Internet. I'm beginning to wonder if this actually is an issue with updates.

[richieandjane]

I tried creating a completely blank MO2 profile with nothing but Animated Armoury and its requirements loaded. Still didn't work.

[Fear2288]

As I said before, if you’re using the DAR version, DAR has not been updated for 1.6.640 yet.

I don’t know exactly what various ways you’ve tried to roll back your back to 1.6.353, but AA was working for me just fine prior to the recent updates.

I really don’t know what to tell you other than you’ll have to wait until DAR gets updated.
