The problem:
Every time I try to open SkyrimSE through MO2, it tries and fails to open the game window. As soon as I click "run" I get this error message: "Unable to open monitor interface to \\.\DISPLAY1:" "Success."
To Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open MO2 from within Wineskin Porting Kit app.
- Click and choose one of the other recognized launchers (SKSE, Skyrim Special Edition, Skyrim Special Edition Launcher, even Explore Virtual Folder).
- Click Run
- Despair at the same outcome occurring.
Environment:
- Mod Organizer Version that exhibits the issue: v2.5.2
- Last Mod Organizer Version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable):
- Desktop OS/version used to run Mod Organizer: MacBook pro, Apple M3, running macOS Sequoia 15.7.5. Using Porting Kit v7.0.1
Details:
When I click run, the Skyrim game application icon shows up briefly on the Mac dock, the screen goes black (like it does when normally running Skyrim) for about 1 second and flickers, and the Skyrim app closes and the icon goes away.
I am not computer savvy at all. This is my first time trying to mod SkyrimSE on my Mac (or submit an issue report like this). I downloaded SkyrimSE and MO2 through the Wineskin Porting Kit in March. I can open MO2 (only if downloaded as a separate port from SkyrimSE, not within SkyrimSE port), I can download mods, and make portable or global instances for SkyrimSE. MO2 also recognizes SKSE, Skyrim Special Edition, Skyrim Special Edition Launcher, and has Explore Virtual Folder. I can play Skyrim normally with no issue if I open from within the Porting Kit. I can even run Skyrim through SKSE. Cannot do it from within MO2. I also tried adjusting my Mac firewall settings to allow operations through MO2, Wineskin, Porting Kit, Skyrim, even SKSE. I don't have another Virus service, I just have AdGuard v2.18.0.2089.
