Georgiegril Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 If the .ini file was the default (unchanged), then you can verify your game cache on steam and it will rewrite the files to the default. There is also that other copy in your programs file, you could try copy-pasting that. (not cut) However, if the file you were trying to back up had changes from you already, I think you are out of luck, and all you can do is go back to the default file and then try to recreate your changes.

thamaligz Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Okay, thanks! :) But in my desperate attempt to make the game work again, i have uninstalled all my mods on NMM. If i backup my save files, uninstall the game, install it again, and then enable all my mods again, tweak the .ini files, and then launch my game again, will it then be like before i f*#@ed the .ini files? Some of my mods are pretty big, and change a lot in the game, like Skyrim ReDone, so i don't know if the save files would have any conflict, with something... or something.. .. Please help again!! :i P.S. I am truly sorry for the bad gramma and spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoamaii Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 @ thamaligz: I just had to reinstalled it all too because I crashed my GPU. If you've backed up everything you should be alright, but here is the safest way I've experienced: 1. reinstall the game, verify integrity of cache through Steam to get back your .ini file.2. launch the game online completely Vanilla and play a new game till you get to save after the Helgen dragon attack - that should reset your .ini file.3. reinstall all your mods in the same order it was before if you can or else you may get errors - best way I found is I took screenshots of my NMM window to make sure I respected the mods order.4. launch the game again and load your most recent clean save, play for a few minutes and make a new save - that should work ok and restore your .ini file to the condition it was before you reinstalled the game. Hope this works for you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
