Thank you very much. I just stumble upon it by chance on google. and i was about to give up my game after hours of mod merging. I never knew the cause of my game crashing is because of my new windows. So far, every since it installed there are no more crashes. This is gonna be essential to where ever i installed the game.
There is one thing I'd like to ask. How can I use the Skyrim AE Icon on the shortcut? Is there any way to change it's icon?
On Windows, you can change any shortcut's icon by right-clicking on it, going to Properties, and in the dialog that appears, there's a button to change the icon there, that you can then point to the icon source of your choice (in your case, the skyrim AE executable, for instance).
Indeed. It must use the installer data then, rather than a normal shortcut that points to the executable file itself.
In that case, you can navigate to the actual folder where you installed the program by copy-pasting the path in the shortcut properties dialog into the address bar of an explorer window, then right-click and copy it, paste a shortcut somewhere (e.g. right-click on desktop and select paste shortcut), and rename/edit the icon of that new shortcut using the method I described before. Then you can replace the original shortcut by this custom one.
This mod is VERY helpful, thank you friend. Just make sure in the Task Manager, under the tab "Details", to give it MORE priority than "normal". I played for 2 hours straigh, with not crashing, (even in cities i usually crash) .
If I make a Stock Game, how do I manually point the tool to it, considering that it automatically detects the standard installation and not the Stock Game?
I'd have to get back to you on that as I cannot currently access the PC on which I have the source files. As far as I remember this is not possible yet, because it searches in the registry first so it will detect the standard install. However the second step is to look into the current folder for the executables, so I'd just have to add a command-line switch to skip the registry read, in which case you'd just have to put the files in your stock game main dir. I'll have a look at the code as soon as I have access to it and keep you posted.
I've added a -noregistry option to the launcher. To use it, put all the files in your stock game folder, and point the shortcut to the launcher with that command-line switch. It will skip the auto detect through registry and start the skyrim in its current folder.
Had my game crashing, do the service disable thing as Valerianos said instead of downloading this (no i won't add another launcher for obvious reasons) given i disable Windows Error Reporting there too (you can't disable Windows Update there, you can delay it thru a registry command though, reply if you want due to being off topic) Game still crashed. Turns out RLE is the one causing it due to the devs tendency to response unfixed issues as "fixed" by reporting flimsy workarounds.
For those who have this issue and wont use the service anyway you can just permanently disable it. (Unless windows update decides to enable it for some reason)
1.Open search, then type "services".
2.Open it, then scroll down until you find "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service".
3.*Right click* it then choose properties.
4. Look for "startup type" and click the drop down menu and select disable.(you will have to restart windows since you cant forcefully stop it)
Done.
The service wont, start automaticly anymore. You will have to re-enable it manualy if you want to use it later on.
An alternative to restarting windows after disabling it for lazy people like me is to go to the services tab in the Task Manager, right click on the 'Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service' and select 'Go to details'. It will take you to the proper 'svchost.exe' process in the Details tab (there are many of them running, so be careful which one you select. The one you want should already be highlighted) then you can right-click it and select End Task.
Well, you can try it. I for one will postpone the update to Windows 11 for as long as I can or until the functionality is on par with Windows 10, so I can't say, but maybe someone else will be able to help. However, it should probably work, since Windows 11 is basically a Windows 10 service pack.
I see ,since I have it myself that's why I asked I may be that one to see if it works and so far not much trouble until after I verified my files for any other crashes lately

That works on my PC.
Thanks

- Press windows + R
- type "Regedit"
- go to this path :
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim\Installed Path
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim\Installed Path
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim\Installed Path
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim\Installed Path
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim\Installed Path
- change the installed path to your skyrim directory
For Example : C:\Program Files (x86)\Skyrim
Note :
Tested with ModOrganizer 2 :D
