Hi all, I had a control issue after the patch. The continue,new,load menu never loaded on startup. When I reverted to the original TESV.exe the game ran but could no longer store items in containers. After trying various things, the following worked. 1) Make a copy of preference files in My Games ... in a separate folder. 2) Verify game cache though steam (Steam downloaded the new version of TESV.exe - which got me back to the menus not loading) 3) Uncheck all additional .esp files 4) Run directly from TESV.exe in steam dir - it should now run ok 5) Check .esp files one by one / in groups and check each time that get main menus 6) If menu loads ok then leave .esp active else remove 7) Repeat until have all compatable .esp files activated 8) Copy and replace preferences files Note I found that is was Valcrafting Meltdown Alpha that was causing the issue. I have now disabled the automatic update in the steam options! This solved my issue, but I am still starting out in the game and if some of the .esp will allow the menus to load but break the game I can not say. I am now running using skyrim4gb, so will get some gametime in over the weekend. Good luck, hopefully this helps and they will allow beta testers for future patches!
