AndresDuhalt Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I hate to reply to myself; however this is more of an update than trying to bump... So I started messing around with dotnet on my system, and reinstalled 2/3/3.5 now the game loads again and is playable. still no update.esm however. Somehow my dotnet install got corrupt and broke the game, hope that helps someone one day even though it was not the topic of this thread. Still no update.esm file however. Nothing on the install DVD that says anything about updates either. Sorry.. where do i exactly tick? Becouse i've got a mod that needs the update.esm and i cant tick it in the masters:( Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 The game requires steam to work. If you are not using steam, it will not work. If you buy a legal disk you still need to go through steam. Steam will automatically update you. If you are trying any other way to get updates, you are probably breaking copyright law, and on top of that, you will continue to have major problems to the point of not being able to play the game. Even if you have a legal disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2628341User Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 The default launcher for Skyrim will not show master files that are required for the game to function, you need to use a third-party launcher like Wyre Bash or Nexus Mod Manager. The Skyrim.esm and Update.esm files should always be checked since they're required for the game to operate "properly." If you're not using a third-party launcher, you can verify you have the Update.esm file by navigating to your steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\data directory.

The Skyrim game plays well on computer, all the cheats work every thing is fine, until I try to install a mod that requires the Update.esm which is nowhere to be found. I have re-install Skyrim and still no Update.esm file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have re-install Skyrim and still no Update.esm file? Verify your game files through Steam (like it says in a couple other posts in this thread). It will download it.

gamefever Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Dude I'm going to spell it out for you real carefully, You get Update.ESM from Steam by purchasing the game, If you cannot get Update.ESM by varifing the cache then you have an illegal copy and that is a banable offense on Nexus.... The only other reason would be that somehow you got a hardcopy, which you then update to your steam account and then verify cache. I know of no hard copies. Go verify your copy of your game now. Come back and tell us how that works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
