forgerofsouls Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Skyrim was running fine for me for a while now until today. Thats when it started crashing at startup, not even getting to the Bestheda logo. Thought it was the cause of a corrupted save. So I deleted my save. Still crashed. Thought it was one of my mods. So I unistalled mods one by one till they were all gone. Still crashed. Got rid of the unofficial patches, SKSE, EVERYTHING. Still crashed. Thought I had a corrupted file, so I unistalled and reinstalled. STILL CRASHES. I've ran out of ideas as to why its happening! I need help!

WHITELION1284 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 It's a load order issue. If you start the game via the regular game launcher Steam has a habit of re-ordering your plugins. This will often cause CTD on startup. You can use NMM to install and then use LOOT to sort your load order. Then use SKSE cos it does all sorts of wonderful things including providing an alternate way to launch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkasha Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Did you remove (literally delete and uninstall everything in the skyrim folder) and then redownload all of Skyrim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkasha Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Did you remember to remove the skyrimprefs.ini and skyrim.ini files from your documents\mygames\skyrim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHITELION1284 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) If you did not uninstall completely and then reinstall the game it is not vanilla. So, aye: uninstall via Steam. Then delete the skyrim folder. Then go into your documents/mygames/skyrim folder and delete your ini's. Hell, if you don't care about old saves just delete the skyrim folder there too. Then reinstall. Edited August 20, 2014 by WHITELION1284 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
