## Release 3.2.2

> 28/06/2023
With this update I am **dropping GOG support** again. Technically, it already happened with 3.2 when I switched to DynDOLOD NG as cleaning masters for Steam *and* GOG versions in combination with Wabbajack is a bit complicated right now and the list should currently not be installable for GOG folks. The fact that I only had one report about that to date shows that most people use Steam anyway and I am happy to streamline the list further.

- In the **Updates** tab, change **Automatic updates** to **Only update this game when I launch it**.
- Close the **Properties** window.

## GOG Installation

> Skip this step if you installed Skyrim SE through Steam.
**LOTF requires the latest version of Skyrim SE.** This is currently `1.6.659.0` on GOG.

Because LOTF is using the default game folder (with the Root Builder plugin), it is crucial that this folder is located **outside** any UAC-protected folders. To ensure this is the case and that no left-over files from previous mod setups can interfere with LOTF, I recommend doing a full clean install of the game.

- Uninstall **Skyrim Special Edition** through GOG Galaxy.
- Navigate to the directory where Skyrim SE was previously installed.
- If there is still a `\Skyrim Special Edition\` folder, delete it.

(It is possible that only vanilla files are removed by the uninstallation process while mod-added files must be deleted manually.)

### INI Folder

Other game files are located inside the so-called **INI Folder** which should be cleaned out as well. It contains your **savegames** as well as the game’s INI files and, if you modded Skyrim before, SKSE plugin logs.

- Navigate to the INI Folder: `C:\Users\{Your User Name}\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\`.
- If you have an ongoing vanilla playthrough, back up the **Saves** folder.
- Delete everything inside the **Skyrim Special Edition** folder.

### Set language to English

**LOTF requires the English language version of Skyrim SE.** If you previously switched to a language other than English, please follow these instructions:

- In GOG Galaxy, open the **Skyrim Special Edition** page.
- Click the configuration button next to **Play**.
- Select **Manage installation** > **Configure**.
- Set **Language** to **English** and click **OK**.

### Reinstallation

Now we can re-install Skyrim SE through GOG Galaxy. When choosing an installation directory, keep the following in mind:

- Skyrim SE must be located **outside** any UAC-protected folders, e.g. `C:\Program Files\` or `C:\Program Files x86\`.
- Skyrim SE should be located **on the same hard drive** that you will be installing LOTF on.

Ideally, install the game on an SSD for improved loading times.

Wait for the download to complete before you proceed.

### Regenerating INIs

After re-installing Skyrim SE, it is important to launch it once so that the registry keys are set up, allowing Wabbajack and Mod Organizer to find the game. Upon launching the game, the default set of INI files will also be regenerated.

- Find **Skyrim Special Edtion** in your **Games Library** and hit **Play**.
- You will be prompted with a notification that Skyrim SE is configuring your video options, click **OK**.
- Click **OK** again in the next window, then quit the launcher.
