Skyrim SE works with Mod Organizer 2 and SKSE

[thmrtnz]

I am able to run Skyrim SE with Mod Organizer 2 and SKSE without visual glitches.
With these wrappers and engines : Wineskin-2.9.1.1 + WS11WineCX64Bit21.1.0
I have set through winetricks d3dcompiler, d3dx11, vcrun2019, dxvk1101, faudio and dotnet48 and steam.
I have used SKSE for AE build 2.1.5 (game version 1.6.353). SkyUI works. Things appear to work properly so far.

Only hiccup is the mouse sensitivity and behavior. It is very floaty at the moment and stops in its movement at times.

[Gcenx]

The mouse acting up is related to mouse capture, in fullscreen the game would require accessibility permissions for it to have permission to grab the mouse.

I believe CX21.2 back-ported the upstream change for mouse capture to using an Apple private API that doesn’t require any special permissions for mouse capture, I’ve not yet had the time to really test out the new Engine.

Wabbajack runs too. Edit: and crashes!

[Gcenx]

Maybe I should expand Gcenx/winetricks@5b21b7f to install those additinal dlls then we should need to use those installers

It struggle no more with msvproc if you pause the gallery autoplay, less subject to crash

[thmrtnz]

[Gcenx]

I’ve not seen mention of msvproc being part of media foundation before.

[Gcenx]

It's working so far, though it keeps asking for msvproc

I used z0z0zmf-install editing the script with calls to grealpath instead of realpath and gcp instead of cp, coreutils must be installed with homebrew

Just an FWI there’s no longer an need to use mf-install the mf verb now does the same job as mf-install and the cab version see https://github.com/The-Wineskin-Project/winetricks/pull/1

I've added a wiki page for Skyrim on Apple Silicon with Wineskin.

[Gcenx]

I’m thinking of just dedicating a repository to a wiki that may make is easier.

Just an FYI, Steam must be installed via winetricks or there will be missing required overrides for known bugs.

[thmrtnz]

Yes.

    # Not all users need this disabled, but let's play it safe for now
    if w_workaround_wine_bug 22053 "Disabling gameoverlayrenderer to prevent game crashes on some machines."; then
        w_override_dlls disabled gameoverlayrenderer
    fi

    if w_workaround_wine_bug 44985 "Disabling libglesv2 to make Store and Library function correctly."; then
        w_override_dlls disabled libglesv2
    fi

    # Otherwise Steam Store and Library don't show
    w_call corefonts

You can use Winetricks, set up steam in program files, or move it before launching it and it installs, or install it first where you want and run winetricks to apply the overrides. Or am I doing it terribly wrong?

[Gcenx]

It’s best to stick to installing using winetricks the less steps an end user needs to make the better.

You never want to move after the instal as the install location is saved to the registry.

I could play yesterday and now there's a "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" for d3d11.dll. Uh.
Well. I've rebuilt the whole thing twice, can play a couple times and then get EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
Edit> I've changed settings in the inis, using BethINI. Something something is breaking on poor preset.

it must be the modlist I'm running, or Mod Organizer. The game launches fine on its own via Steam

SkyrimSE_d3d11.log
SkyrimSE_dxgi.log

[thmrtnz]

Something in the settings of the game causes this.
I will test it all.

[thmrtnz]

With Bethini medium settings it runs.
At poor preset it crashes on start.

[Gcenx]

That’s really weird

[thmrtnz]

I believe it happens when I toggle off shadows.

(I have no idea if this is the right thread) I am trying to follow this guide but I'm not super proficient in wineskin and I'm struggling to understand how to fix my issues.

• I have managed to install and run Steam successfully
• I have downloaded and installed Skyrim Special Edition
• Clicking "Play" on Steam opens the launcher and detects my system settings (Ultra High)
• I click Play in the Launcher but the game insta-crashes (icon pops-up un dock for a split second then disappears)

I have no idea how to check logs for this as I am running Steam as a "Custom exe" from inside the "Skyrim" wrapper and I have no idea how to interact with this custom exe as "show package contents" on it shows nothing but the barebones wineskin resources and the "CustomEXE" app.
Any help is very much appreciated!

I consider myself pretty tech savvy and I have extensive experience with Skyrim inner workings due to ten years or so of modding (most of which on a mac before the "32bit massacre" of Catalina), but this is just a step prior so I have no idea how to move or what to try :(

Issue: wine process for MO2 would start but no window or application would open. Installing MO2 version 2.4.1 seems to have fixed this specific problem, for now.
