whatiswrong Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 One of the solutions was to double check that the Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini files located in your My Documents were both not set to "Read-Only". If they are, untick the "Read-Only" options. it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatiswrong Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Beginning to wonder if something is wrong with the card but the drivers installed without any messages from auto detect AMD. Funny thing though is that the card does not appear in device manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jones177 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I had this problem with the GTX 980. If tried to use screen resolutions other than ones with the 16:9 ratio I would get a failed to initialize renderer notice.Other games I played would except other ratios. For example I played Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine at 2560 X 1600. A 16:10 ratio. My currant video card dose not have this issue. It dose add black boarders to all none 16:9 ratios in Skyrim though(no stretching). Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMB92 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 As Kuno said, the files wont save after editing if they are read only. Even with launcher. If you still get the error after ensuring the resolution is correct in skyrimprefs.ini, reinstall DirectX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
