Skyrim

How to enable debugging


1.
Navigate to the following directory where <YOUR USERNAME> is your windows username.

C:/Users/<YOUR USERNAME>/Documents/My Games/Skyrim


2.
Open Skyrim.ini

Note: if you do not trust yourself with .ini files, make a backup of the file by copying it.


3.
Find the section [Papyrus] and make it look like this:

[Papyrus]
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=500.0
bEnableLogging=1
bEnableTrace=1
bEnableProfiling=1
bLoadDebugInformation=1

Note: changing fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS is not vital. I thought it would be easier to post the full section here.


4.
Repeat the same steps for the file SkyrimPrefs.ini to be sure that the settings take effect. I don't know which file takes precedence.





Debugging Loadout


5.
The debug log of Loadout can be found in the subdirectory Logs/Script/User so that the full directory path becomes:

C:/Users/<YOUR USERNAME>/Documents/My Games/Skyrim/Logs/Script/User

The debug log DeazurainLoadout.0.log will contain the debug messages from the last Skyrim run.

Note: The debug log will not exist yet if you haven't started Skyrim with SKSE enabled and Loadout activated and loaded a game.
