We will all need to find functions again. Code signatures and hooks will need to be rewritten. Plugins using the Address Library will need to be divided in to "pre-AE" and "post-AE" eras. Some games have worked around this limitation by building the code that interacts with Xbox Live in to a secondary DLL that is dynamically loaded by the game, but they didn't choose this option. I didn't ask specifically, but the most probable reason for this is that the Xbox Live libraries used for achievements on the Windows Store are only available for 2017 and later. Class layouts are unlikely to change, luckily. This changes the way that the code is generated in a way that forces mod developers to start from scratch finding functions and writing hooks.
The reason for this is that as part of the AE update, Bethesda has decided to update the compiler used to build the 64-bit version of Skyrim from Visual Studio 2015 to Visual Studio 2019. With the AE update, all of these methods will break, and addresses will need to be found again from scratch. SKSE uses an offline tool I developed a long time ago based around position independent code hashing. Other plugins use code signature matching, which finds functions that "look like" a specific pattern. Most plugins use the Address Library by meh321. During that time, code has been developed to make many plugins portable across different versions of the game. The native code modding scene around Skyrim SE will have been around for about four years when AE comes out. Back up your executable now, and disable updates in Steam. The upcoming Anniversary Edition of Skyrim is going to be much more disruptive to the modding scene than is commonly believed. ĮDIT: Holy shit, sounds a lot worse than I thought. So, in case you still dabble on Nord territory and loot Frost Giant caves. Not to mention that the Special Edition will soon be rendered obsolete and won't be supported any longer once the Anniversary Edition hits. I don't even REMEMBER what I did to some mods in order for them to co-exist.
Then I had to do it AGAIN for the Special Edition. I've spent weeks and weeks modding Skyrim and tweaking with the mods in order to customize them to my liking and making edits to conflicting mods in order for them to co-exist peacefully. Or you have to wait until all SKSE-related mods you use get patched and then you re-install them all, one by one.įor me, this fucking sucks. So, you either have to be offline anytime you want to play your modded Skyrim in order to prevent Steam from patching the main game files (and have auto-update turned off in your Skyrim Properties), This means that once your Skyrim data gets updated with the anniversary patch, your game will automatically become non-playable and will crash as long as you have SKSE installed and any mods that depend on it, UNTIL THE MODDERS OF THE RESPECTING MODS PATCH THEIR MODS.
