When clicking the Launcher.exe, the launcher seems like it starts to boot, but before the Enderal UI screen even pops up, i got the error message "Enderal Launcher has stopped working". Ill leave the problem signature at the bottom for anyone who mite find that useful, though i can't read it myself.

I am trying to run enderal on a clean and modless version of skyrim. I've even reinstalled skyrim 3 times to try to fix this. Steam has always been running during all my attempts. I've also reinstalled the launcher and the installation archive several times, and have downloaded the installation files from the 2 diferent websites, and from torrents. I've tried running the launcher.exe as admin. The launcher is in my skyrim game folder. I have gotten rid of all virus protection, so there shouldn't be any antivirus ware stopping the executable.

I've been on a lot of forums and haven't found a fix for this issue yet, so maybe some of you out there could help me out, thanks!

Oh, I forgot to also mention, I was playing Enderal around a year ago and am trying to come back to it, so my save files are still in the Skyrim folder that holds those types of files (a folder outside the game folder).

welcome to the forum

- can you run Enderal with the skse_loader.exe (... Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim)?

- it looks like a Microsoft .net Framework error; maybe try to reinstall (or repair) it

- the full log might be useful (to someone who can actually read it)
could you attach that? (the file (launcher.log) is located in ...\Skyrim\Enderallauncher\system\log)

Do you have also the current launcher version?
There were various updates.
If not, reload the Launcher.

[scmboost]

Thanks for the quick responses. I have redownloaded the launcher several times already, so im sure i have the latest one. Also, i have tried installing/updating microsoft framework through the link on the Enderal site, and that also hasn't fixed the problem.

Here's the text in the Launcher.log file, the easist way for me to share it that I know of is create a google docs link. You shouldn't need to sign into a google account to read it.

There were several earlier logs recorded while I didn't have SKSE downloaded, which I erased to save time for anyone reading this, because Enderal can't run without it anyway (atleast from my undestanding). If for whatever reason you would like those sveral earlier logs recorded while I didn't have SKSE, just let me know.

@ urst Also, as for running Enderal with the SKSE Launcher, im not sure what you mean exactly. Running the SKSEloader.exe just results in booting the classis skyrim game. Enderal isn't installed because I haven't been able to get the Launcher working yet, so I think thats normal. I could be wrong though, I am not that experienced in this subject. If you think I'm misunderstanding something, dont hesitate to let me know

yeah, no, my bad (facepalms )
thought for some reason you installed Enderal and then couldn't start the launcher.
it's been a while


edit:
so this is an outrageously moronic question, and I don't think (/HOPE)
that it's the reason it doesn't work, but we're talking .net framework,
and that does funny things.


this here is the one thing I can read as an error

do you happen to have a Verdana installed as a default Desktop used font or something,
anything, that dear .net framework seems do believe to have to use?
(the default default should be Segoe UI)

[stuemper]

Yup, crashes can be caused by custom Fonts.

[scmboost]

Hmm I see what your saying. No, i haven't messed with any of the default fonts. Just incase, I restored the defualt font settings, and ran an SFC scan to make sure all the system files are fine. Afterwards, the launcher is still crashing on start up, and creating the same log errors in the Launcher.log

I will look into this Font 'Verdana' does not support style 'Regular'. issue a bit more and will post back with any new information.

[scmboost]

LMAO so the problem was the Verdana font. Apparently I didn't have the 'regular' version of Verdana installed on my computer for whatever reason, so I had to get the files off of a website and vuala, the enderal launcher now works!

This is the site that showed how to fix the issue for anyone experiencing anything similiar.
