Dreifels Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I have payed the AE DLC and steam says I got it installed fine.When I start Skyrim AE I get instantly an Overlay "$Thanks for buying ..." "download" while the first letter is a $ what shown this gets not correctly. After that, I get message, that my email address is connected to Bethesda.net already, but asks me for email and pw. After type in both and click I enter I get "cannot establish connection" When in Skyrim AE I click on CreationClub, it shows me an overlay to create an account, but this fails same way.By this I cannot get the DLC content and a connection to CC connection to Steam is fine and I'm online.

showler Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Part of that is caused by a UI mod or translation mod that you have installed. You should probably purge all your mods before downloading the DLC and then re-deploy them afterward. As for the connection issue, that can be quite a few things. I'd start by making sure your firewall isn't interfering (unless purging the mods fixes that as well). Some people were so upset with Creation Club that they built blocks for it into their mods.

Dreifels Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 1) I did try both, along with new installation of steam: original English and German, no success2) no firewall does block anything related, setting is default WIndows 103) I can run all mods of the DC fine (got them from internet in between) but the login of skyrim AE is the problem. There is something not working with the automatically connection to bethesda net and with login to CC. Fond none who can say what process happens at start to establich connection (fles/script, whatever, should be installed by steam when buy the AE and activated it, but it fails, why? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 It's a common problem. One stupid fix that worked for me was to go to Bethesda.net in a browser and sign in, then run Skyrim and it connected fine. Bethesda's help page is not very helpful, it just covers all the same stuff you've probably already tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
