Can't start a new game on SE - have tried common fixes
Verfasst: 02.01.2022 22:03
Hi all,
I'm currently unable to start a new game of Enderal SE and have tried many common fixes I've found online.
I have a fresh install of the Steam version of Enderal SE on a fresh Steam Skyrim SE version. I have verified caches and un/reinstalled both games at least twice.
The problem is whenever I try to start a new game (as I have no current save) is that after selecting "yes" for the "Explore Enderal?" prompt, all menu options disappear but no actual game ever loads. I'm still able to control the mouse, but despite leaving the app to run for a few hours, nothing happens. Curiously, on my very first install before reinstalls, I was presented with the message "If he betrays us, I'll kill him" instead of "Explore Enderal?". This changed after reinstalling.
As mentioned, I've tried verifying caches and reinstalling both programmes with no luck. I've also tried the most common fixes seen through my googling, which is to delete the config files in the MyGames folder (no luck), and to copy in the _default config files into that folder and remove the suffix (again no luck).
I haven't found any other fixes which work for me, so would appreciate some help if anyone does have ideas! Other info which might help:
- Skyrim runs fine whenever I launch it
- Both Skyrim and Enderal are SE and unmodded
- I'm running what I think is the 2.0.11 Steam Enderal SE version (but not sure how to 100% check)
- Have tried running the SKSE launcher from the Enderal folder as Administrator
- I'm running the English version
- Both games are installed to a secondary HDD (:D) rather than my primary SSD where core files and the Steam app is located (:C)
Any help (or requests for additional info) welcome, thanks!
