SKSE64_Loader won't start the game

Mystic last edited by
For some reason when I try to boot my game (which worked fine a minute ago), I get the following instead (also see image below):

SHGetFolderPath 00000005 failed (result = 80070005 lasterr = 00000005)

Assertion failed in E: \github\common\common\IDebugLog.cpp (64): SUCCEEDED(err) (code - FFFFFFFF80070005 (-2147024891))

Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and/or what this means and (hopefully) how to fix it?

What I have tried so far:
- Checked the firewall and the antivirus software.
- Run as admin.
- Re-installed everything around 4 times, including the game and SKSE64.
- Checked mod conflicts.
- Disabled controlled folder access.
PS when it started acting up, I had just wiped my keyboard real quick and I hit a couple of buttons and then the black screen came up and now it won't work.

This might indicate that the SKSE Loader does not or no longer has access to folders where it needs to write files (like E:\github\common\common\).

Look for 'Controlled Folder Access' under Start (by opening the Start menu and typing in the words). Either turn it off, or give skse64_loader.exe full access by using the 'Allow an app through controlled folder access' option:

What could have caused this is a silent update of Microsoft Defender.

As a former warlock, I feel you pain there. Like most features of WoW it takes a long time to get a UI built around your preference, and preferences vary dramatically from player to player (I've seen some UI's that make my toes curl). My warlock's skills consisted of almost exclusively macros to help with targetting. Here's a small list of targetting assistance I've used to avoid excessive tab usage. Arena Gladius is a terrific add-on that's almost vital for arena. Along with the great customizable UI to keep track of players, it also allows you the ability to build in specific targetting macros. /target arena1 This will target the first player on your gladius frame. By setting up keybinds for my most common arena setups (2's and 3's) I could quickly dot both targets without ever having to tab or click anyone. Mouse-over Ok, you've probably noticed this by now. But the theme here is macros. As a warlock a lot of the 'one time' spells you use lend themselves very well to mouse-over macros. Things like banish and fear are natural fits. /cast [target=mouseover,exists] Lifebloom Focus Targets This is a must as a warlock, the ability to fight two people (or monsters at once) is vital. In addition to the ability to dot both, you can also enable their casting bars for that well timed silence. Summary While this list is by no means exhaustive, it should help you get started and building out your own customization. Dot timer's can be invaluable as a warlock, as it will allow you the ability to keep track of former targets better as well. There are some addons that help with targetting such as gladius, but most players make extensive use of macros and focus targets. You can find Azael's macros here (arguably the best pvp warlock) which should give you an idea of how to set up some of the more gritty macros. http://www.arenajunkies.com/topic/210672-azaels-macro-list/ Hope this helps.

ENB is a series of graphical enhancements for a variety of video games. It is developed and maintained by Boris Vorontsov. It is an extra set of rules appended to the Direct3D drawing process used by many games, and is strictly post-processing (meaning it adds enhancements to the graphics of games on top of them, so to speak). It can add, change, or enhance Ambient Occlusion, Depth of Field, bloom, anti-aliasing, colour correction, HDR, and similar shaders and effects. Additionally, it has the option to improve the drawing of graphics, something known as ENBoost (available for a range of games, like Fallout 4 and Skyrim), "that enhances the efficiency of video memory management, resulting in increased performance and stabilization". (source) There are presets available everywhere (notably on 'the Nexus'), suiting any kind of hardware setup. As per the official website: ENBSeries is the project of graphic modifications for games. The main idea is to allow every gamer to configure [what a] game looks like [suiting] their own taste, so every player could share settings with others. Many games may look much better and ENBSeries is the easiest way to improve them. It work[s] by modifying [the] render functions calls of the games and applying additional effects. (source) The term ENB has an obscure background, but Boris himself stated that: This is the name and surname of the girl who for a long time was my muse, so to speak. I think I should come up with something else instead, maybe some kind of perversion name, so that people become afraid to say it. (original comment, translated by native Russian speaker)

Since the two computers are on the same local network, as you confirmed, it might be an issue of either network configuration in general or firewall configuration on at least one of the machines. There is a support article on Battle Net about neccessary tcp and udp ports for Diablo2. I suggest to look it through, but the core info is: Diablo II/Lord of Destruction: TCP Port 6112 and Port 4000.

I've had similar issues with games, especially Skyrim, and anything I'd played that day would no longer work. I ended up having to restart my PC each time it would appear otherwise I couldn't start my games. Typically I would get it if Skyrim crashed or I cancelled the loading sequence before it was finished. This blurb is taken from the Steam forums (granted is for a separate game): Solution 1. Run the game as administrator Find the file SalvationProphecy.exe On my computer (win7, 32-bit), it is located here: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\SalvationProphecy\bin\release\SalvationProphecy.exe Right click on it Select "Run as Administrator" If that doesn't work, go on to the next test. Solution 2. Run steam as administrator Exit steam completely: (top left menu) -> Steam -> Exit Wait a few seconds for it to finish shutting down Right click the steam icon Select "Run as Administrator" Try running the game normally If that doesn't work, go on to the next test. Solution 3. Verify the integrety of game cache Run Steam Right click on Salvation Prophecy Click "Properties" Click the "LOCAL FILES" tab Click "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE..." Wait until it is done Try running the game normally. If that doesn't work, go on to the next test. Solution 4. Check your antivirus settings I can't give precise instructions here, because it depends on your antivirus program. But sometimes they can block a program from launching. There has been a problem reported with Avast. Solution 5. Restart the computer The old classic, always worth a shot. Source: https://steamcommunity.com/app/248450/discussions/0/792923683573395036/

So I installed Fallout again to try this out, and it seems that when you save your game, mods that are not present at the time of save (even if they were active at some point before) are erased. So reactivating mods later wont work.

If there is no other folders in your folder, than that is not the directory Minecraft is running off of. By default, your Minecraft folder would be located at %appdata%\.minecraft. Otherwise, if you think it somehow got changed, you can find your Minecraft directory by going to your launch profile settings: New Launcher: Go to the tab labled "Launch options". Click on your Forge profile and you should see the row labled "Game directly". Press the arrow (which should give you the text "Go to folder" when you hover over it) to go to your Minecraft directory you have set for Forge. Legacy (Old) Launcher: Make sure you have your Forge profile selected in the profile selector (lower left corner). Click "Edit Profile" and you should see the row near the top which says "Game Directory:". Your Minecraft directory for Forge will be in the input field. If you do not see the mods folder there, you can manually create it.

There is an elaborate reddit post that offers a variaty of solutions. They are as followed : here may be multiple reasons as to why you might receive 0xc00007b error when trying to run an application on a windows machine. 0xc000007b error usually comes from mixing up 32bit environment with 64bit one. For example 32bit application loads a 64bit dll causing 0xc000007b error. Solution 1 In most cases it's .NET framework causing issues. This can easily fixed by re-installing latest .NET framework from [link] Solution 2 Re-install the application that you are trying to run. It sounds simple but the application data files could be corrupt or missing. This could be caused by a installation that did not complete successfully or by a virus. Solution 3 Running the application as an administrator could fix this error. Right click on the program shortcut or program .exe file, then click on Properties, and on the Compatibility tab. Check the Run this program as an administrator box, and click on OK Solution 4 Restart your computer as some applications require restart after installation to function properly. Solution 5 Run Windows update as it can provide application fixes and updates. Furthermore it installs missing drivers and updates the outdated ones like graphic card drivers. Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 users need to search for "windows update". select all important and optional updates and click on the "install updates" button. If you use Windows XP navigate navigate to Windows Update by choosing Start > All Programs > Windows Update. When the scan is complete,Click the Review and Install Updates link. Finally press the "install now" button. Solution 6 manually update the application if possible. Solution 7 re-install Microsoft Visual C++ runtime from [x32 link] or [x64 link] Solution 8 re-install DirectX [link] Solution 9 Many times hard disk problems can be repaired using the chkdsk command. If you are using windows 7 press the start button in bottom left corner of your screen. If you are using windows 8 / 8.1 press the windows key .Search for "cmd" and Right click it and select "Run as administrator". Windows XP users Click on start > run. In the Run box, type in "cmd" in the box. A CMD window should appear. In that window you can just type it as you see "chkdsk /f /r". If you have more then one drive or partition, you will need to tell it the disk (chkdsk d: /f /r). If it is the primary windows disk it will ask you to schedule it for next boot. When you restart, it will do a chkdsk for you before even getting to the login screen. Solution 10 This solution only works for a 64-bit system. It requires replacing files is system32 directory so be careful. Only attempt this solution if you are confident and if other solutions have failed. When Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package is not properly configured it may cause 0xc00007b error. Firstly download the zip file [link] and decompress it. Reboot in safe mode and go to C:\Windows\System32. copy all files included in the zip package (mfc100.dll, mfc100u.dll, msvcr100.dll, msvcp100.dll and msvcr100_clr0400.dll) to C:\Windows\System32 replacing the current ones. After that reboot in normal mode. If all the solutions above haven't worked i would consider backing up data and performing a clean install of windows

I think your best option is AMX Mod X. The developers of AMX Mod (of which you have experience) joined the AMX Mod X project some time ago. There is an almost comprehensive range of free plugins written by the community that add to the core functionality. I've found that their forums are generally helpful if you can't find what you want or need help with configuration. Some people still use AdminMod, though I think it's fair to say that they belong to a small minority.

I think what you're asking is how to download the correct server release from Minecraft, because the download page always lists (just) the current version. Fortunately, the download link is consistent. The current link is: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.7.10/minecraft_server.1.7.10.jar So, you just alter the versions a bit, and you've got it. For 1.7.2 it would simply be: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.7.2/minecraft_server.1.7.2.jar And for 1.6.4: https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.6.4/minecraft_server.1.6.4.jar As others mentioned, you need only to modify your client profile to indicate which version you play on your end, and then you'd install the mods in whatever way your mod loader needs them to be installed. I'm pretty sure what you're actually after is the server link, so yeah - that should do it.

You don't need to worry about progress being wiped. You'll be able to reload your save https://reddit.com/r/outerwilds/comments/gwv4pc/can_i_complete_the_ship_log_after_finishing_the/ . Regardless of what happens after you remove the Warp Core, you will be able to load your save by selecting "Resume your expedition" on the main menu. More specifically: If you die after the Warp Core is removed, you will get a game over screen before being returned to the main menu.

There is a bit of a conflict in what you're saying here. There are various ways to go about modding Skyrim; one of them being through the Steam Workshop. But then you also mention NMM - Nexus Mod Manager. NMM is a separate modding system, where you first download the Mod Manager itself and then download mods from the Nexus Mod Manager community site via NMM. Your Steam Workshop mod subscriptions would (should) follow you anywhere. Your NMM mods would not. So if that's what you used, you would have to download them again.

No. You will not be able to get the game to run with any amount of decent performance, Grand Theft Auto 4 struggles even on modern high-end systems because it is not very optimized. The first thing I recommend you do is upgrade your operating system, you're using 32-bit Windows on a 64-bit processor. I recommend Xubuntu Linux 16.04.1 64-bit instead of Windows, it runs better on older systems like yours and most games old enough that you'd be able to play anyway will either work natively or work in WINE without much issues. Let me know if you need help installing it. I recommend that you play another game, there are plenty of other games that you'd have more fun with simply because they'd run better on your system. You can check out an older GTA game like GTA 3 or GTA San Andreas. Additionally, goldsrc games such as the original Counter-Strike are definitely still fun to play and will run well on any old system.

Black & White https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_%26_White_(video_game) is a 2001 simulation and real-time strategy game developed by Lionhead Studios and designed by Peter Molyneux. According to the research paper, https://www.cs.rochester.edu/%7Ebrown/242/assts/termprojs/games.pdf , Black & White uses neural networks to influence gameplay (emphasis mine): The artificial agent that makes “Black and White” such an incredible achievement in AI is the creature. As previously explained, the creature is used by the game player to do its bidding. It can also be seen as a child for the game player to both nurture and train. The chief AI developer for the game, Richard Evans, provided the gaming website http://www.gameai.com with some simple documentation of the game design. The desire that the developers had for the creatures was that they would be both very human-like and useful. To be human-like, the creature had to be “plausible, malleable, and lovable”. To be useful it had to be able to learn how to satisfy its master and know how to correctly act based upon its beliefs and percepts. Many recent games, such as “The Sims”, have made very human-like toy agents and many other recent games, such as “Daikatana”, have made incredibly useful agents; but no game before “Black and White” was able to combine the two elements into one seamlessly intelligent and empathetic agent. The main aspect of the game’s AI that makes it so powerful is its mixture of different approaches of representing intelligence. Given a variety of techniques, the one that is most suitable for any certain task can be used for that task on the fly. [...] Decision trees represent agents’ beliefs about general types of objects. Finally, neural networks of perceptrons represent desires. There are numerous skills involved with learning and a large variety of ways in which a creature can learn. Creatures learn facts about its surroundings, how to do certain tasks, how sensitive to be to its desires, how to behave to or around certain objects, and which methods to apply in certain situations. [...] - Wexler, J. (2002, May 7). Artificial Intelligence in Games: A look at the smarts behind Lionhead Studio’s “Black and White” and where it can and will go in the future. University of Rochester. https://www.cs.rochester.edu/%7Ebrown/242/assts/termprojs/games.pdf Note: The author of the paper referenced an interview with Richard Evans (the developer of Black & White's AI) for the part about neural networks, but the provided link no longer points to the target website. A YouTube video where Peter Molyneux talks about the development of Black & White's AI (relevant part starts at 07:22):
