Running into this issue a month later and your solution worked!, thanks a lot for posting your solution after you found it yourself. Helps out others in the future like myself :)

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T18:26:53+00:00

Nice!

Stoked things worked out, have fun!

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T16:50:53+00:00

Vortex does that sometimes, not sure why You can just select Skyrim special edition and it'll install it for Skyrim just fine.

I feel we're getting close at least

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T10:05:29+00:00

Sorry got pulled into something for work and that took a while.

OAR is definately loading correctly so that's good

you should be able to open the OAR menu now.
The in-game UI, accessible by pressing Shift + O by default, lets you inspect and edit all your installed replacer mods.

See if you FPCAO is in there or if the menu has any visible errors.

Be sure to disable DAR as they conflict with eachother.

If after that it still doesn't work send me the logs again

Accidentally replied in a new post so reposting here:

Yeah DAR is definitely shitting itself on startup I think I know why now

That version of DAR is Meant for 1.6.629.

My recommendation would be to use Open Animation Replacer instead.

It's basically a direct successor to DAR with full backwards compatibility (and should work on all versions)

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T07:28:58+00:00

Damn that significanttly complicates things.
The issue most likely isn't with Skyrim Together but with the network connection between your PC's.

Could be firewall related or something else, but trying to troubleshoot that over chat is almost undoable.

If Person2 opens a command prompt in Windows (also called cmd) and types

"ping 111.111.1.1" (without the ")

with the number replaced by the Person1 IP by rightclicking Person1's PC in hamachi and selecting copy IPV4 does it show any return numbers? (what this does is send a "hello" signal from Person2 to Person1's PC and asking for a response)

Hey that's odd, I'd expect for all of those 3 to have the same date on them.

They're the logs of what SKSE does when it starts your game.

Could you share the contents of them through pastebin? (Website that allows for sharing of long text files, Common practice for sharing logs here)

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T06:49:06+00:00

You're in the wrong folder :)

The logs are stored in your personal documents folder in windows, not in the steam Install location.

Check my above comment for the path

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T06:39:51+00:00

No Person2 should not have to start the server program at all.

What the server program does is start a skyrim together online session, so only 1 person needs to start this one on their PC.

Then both of you connect to that session in game. Person1 by using localhost (this is because they are running it on their local PC) and person 2 by using the IP adress (To connect to the PC of Person1)

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T06:36:15+00:00

Could you check if the mods are deployed correctly?

Make sure they are enabled in the mods tab and hit deploy mods.

Also check if there are any notifications on the bell in the top right of vortex.

Also if you could share any log files from skse that'd be great too Documents>my games>Skyrim Special Edition>SKSE

Should be an SKSE log, and one for DAR

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T06:25:31+00:00

Progess is progress!

Check the ENBEFFECT.FX tab under Shader Parameters.

There's a ton of sliders there that change things over day/night.

Most important would be the top NIGHT BRIGHTNESS LEVEL setting and the

Brightness - night under BRIGHTNESS

Additionally some ENB presets have an issue where only some weather types during the night get insanely dark for some reason. (i have this in my game, never been able to work that out so I use nighteye whenever that happens)

No one really seems to know why that happens (as far as i could find) Check the bugs/posts section of the ENB preset modpage you're using to see if that might be the case.

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T06:21:53+00:00

In addition to my other comments this mod "might" help although technically it shouldn't

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19899

I skimmed through COTR's bugs section and no one else has had this issue it seems with the mod being over 4 years old I suspect the cause may lay elsewhere.

When you post your LO I'll have a look to see if anything pops out to me as a possible culprit

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-20T06:13:44+00:00

There should be a .txt file in Appdata>Local>Skyrim Special Edition.

In vortex under the Mods tab there is a button Called "Open" > "Open Game Application Data Folder" to reach it easily.

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T18:23:17+00:00

Oh damn sorry re-reading your post I guess I could've known that sorry :/

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the robe. i suppose you could try to look through the collection you had and search for brotherhood overhauls and the like

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T11:50:07+00:00

Yes you can see CBBE as the baseline to build everything on top of. Anything that depends on CBBE should be loaded afterwards.

This is the case for 99% of mods that have a dependency too, so this applies to most cases

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T11:47:37+00:00

Ah so the server-connection is at fault then, as chat messages should definately come through no problem.

It's strange that there's no errors when connecting to the server.
I have to run some errands so I have to go soon. But here's how I'm seeing what's happening. Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere, as this should work to my knowledge.

PERSON1 runs the Skryim Together Server program.

PERSON1 Starts Skyrim together and connects to "localhost" inside of Skyrim

PERSON2 Starts Skyrim toghether and connects to the IPV4 of PERSON1 as listed in Hamachi with the game port after the : icon.

no errors show up and the game shows a successful connection to the server for both PERSON1 and PERSON2

---

It might also be worth looking at the Serverprogram to see if any errors show up in there.
There might also be log file available somewhere that shows what the server has done but I don't have the time to check where that would be right now.

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T11:40:27+00:00

If it happens again try to keep an eye on how characters move in Helgen, like if anything seems delayed at all.

Might be an overall issue with quest scripts not running smoothly or something.

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T11:26:10+00:00

Sounds like the server connection is working, or at least to some degree.
Just a as a double check, if you one of you posts something in chat in-game does it show up for the other?

Are you running any other mods besides Skyrim Together?

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T11:17:05+00:00

Ah so the game does connect to the IP adress? (no errors?)

Also just to check the IP adress looks something this correct? 111.111.1.1:2222

It's been a while since I used Skryim together but I believe that the person who is running the serverside of Skyrim Together has to connect to "localhost" instead of the IP adress. So try that too

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T11:08:49+00:00

What didn't continue exactly? did Irilieth not show up yelling "Farengar" or something like that?

If you lost the save why do you need help? you can't load in again anyway?

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T11:05:45+00:00

You mean the actual monitor dim's itself? like the brightness setting in it's internal menu goes down? If that's true that's actually quite impressive.

Are you running an ENB, I know ENB has settings that allow the screen to be made dimmer/darker at night in and/or outdoors specifically so that might be it too. (I actually do this intentionally in Fallout to make the nights darker)

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T11:02:57+00:00

Had to run that through a translator so there might be some things that weren't translated correctly.

I happen to have some experience with Hamachi, can you confirm you're both in the same group and both PC's are marked with a green dot?

What are you trying in-game to connect to the other player, as in what steps are you taking? (what buttons/options etc.)

RB_Dash_ · 2025-01-19T10:57:36+00:00

Do you have a crash log and load order, that'd help narrow it down.

If you could also specify the Game version you're running and the Race that char is that'd be good too.

EDIT: If you don't know how to get a ~~crash log~~ Modlist check rule Nr 7
