Skyrim Script Extender (365720)

[valeth]

When trying to launch SKSE Steam just terminates the application immediately.

I'm unsure if this is because it created its own Wine prefix, and it cannot find the Skyrim executable, or something else.

Skyrim (regular 2011 edition without any DLC) is running fine by itself.

This Patch can be used to fix SKSE and F4SE

[linkjay]

How do we use that patch, @9ParsonsB? If you'll excuse my ignorance...

[hdmap]

If this is about SKSE for original Skyrim and not SKSE64 for SkyrimSE, my patches shouldn't be necessary. To my knowledge SKSE works fine under normal wine.

[linkjay]

Yes. SKSE runs perfectly fine when you Wine Steam and such. However, if you try the installer, archive, or the Steam mod, under the native linux steam with proton, it simply will not start. You open up the SKSE loader and it immediately crashes.

@hdmap this is indeed about original Skyrim with SKSE.
Like @linkjay said SKSE is running just fine with regular Wine.

Hello, I have a work around which partially works...

1. I manually installed SKSE
2. I renamed SkyrimLauncher.exe to SkyrimLauncher.exe.backup
3. I renamed skse_loader.exe to SkyrimLauncher.exe
   And it works, but mods which save data will have issue (I think the same issue with the workshops ... can't write to the directory).

@malahx I've not had a chance to play around much with this yet, but based on my research there should be an executable called proton_run created in /tmp that could potentially be used to run skse without needing to rename files. Here's the info (found through Shenmue): https://www.shenmuedojo.com/forum/index.php?threads/request-shenmue-1-ii-for-linux-steam-install-guide-request-even-if-you-dont-use-linux-so-that-linux-users-can-play-the-game-as-well.399/

specifically the steps:

1. Run the game it will probably fail but will create an important file named proton_run
2. Open File explorer then Press CTRL + L write /temp
3. Go to /tmp
4. Locate file called proton_run inside tmp
5. Copy the file proton_run, paste it in another location, I put mine inside a folder named proton in my desktop.

Looking forward to trying it out when I get a chance myself, just too much going on for me right now to start playing skyrim again.

Symptoms

At a glance symptoms looks very similar to https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43844 - any chance this year-old change wasn't merged to Proton yet?

Reproduction

Install (using Steam) Skyrim, Skyrim Script Extender. Then manually install SkyUI mod from https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3863 by copying SkyUI.bsa and SkyUI.esp files into steamapps/common/Skyrim/Data/. Now start Skyrim, start new game, and you'll see error from SkyUI about absent Skyrim Script Externder (SKSE).

[powerman]

I've fixed issue with SKSE by changing kernel from 4.9.74 with GrSecurity/PaX to 4.14.65 without GrSecurity/PaX (more details at #460 (comment)).
