RichMoney Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Anyone for whom it did not work... Be sure you are changing the skyrimprefs.ini that is in your My Games/Skyrim folder in my documents, NOT the one in the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimaST Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 A problem here. The data select did worked using the above methods but after that when I start the game it freezes immediately after start and only works if I delete the bEnableFileSelection=1 from the ini file. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopefool Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Alright, so i have some Mods installed and nothing.

Fastmedic Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Small problem -- when I did the above, Data Files finally worked. But when I check off "Load Loose Files" and press okay, it gets unselected the next time I click Data Files. If I check it off and run the game, it clearly hasn't worked. Is there an ini value to make it load loose files? I have the same issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorondor82 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I had tried everything you guys described, it wouldn't work. Still greyed out. Then I tried this and it is the solution! YOU HAVE TO PUT [Launcher]bEnableFileSelection=1 ON TOP OF THE INI FILE!! Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddud Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 i did all the steps given and mine is still grayed out Finally! Didn't work for me either - the skyrimprefs in the main game folder already had it and still nothing. Then I added the string to the one in my games directory, still nothing. Here's what I changed to make it work: Notice that in main directory the bEnableFileSelection=1 is preceded by the [Launcher]string. Well, at first I tried copying both of them into my games directory, to look exactly like the first ini. What made it work is that I only copied bEnableFileSelection=1 to fit below the already existing [Launcher] bShowAllResolutions=1 uLastAspectRatio=1 strings (didn't add anything more). That fixed it - really weird but whatever floats your boat Bethesda. xD That made it for me !!! Thank you !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaudan Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 You can also just write your load order by hand, it works the same way it did in Oblivion. I couldn't get the 'data files' thing to work so that's what I did instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
