Norinvaux Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Seems we're stuck until Bethesda supplies a patch for it.I even tried updating my audio drivers, but found out that somehow I have them updated past the latest update I could find. Could be part of the problem.Once I manage to scrounge up enough money to get that 560 for my other computer, I'm going to get win7 on it and try it there. Also, just curious, but how many XP users with the same problem are using a Creative Sound Blaster card and drivers?

Sdsweetland Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I am having the same problem. Hangs at the dragon logo right after the Bethesda logo. I am running on XP and have tried both with my SB Live and the onboard sound. Same problem either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdsweetland Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 As a follow up I have gotten it to work now. I read that running the TESV.exe file in Win 95 compatibility mode solved the problem for some people so I tried that. The first time it didn't work, but I tried it again after applying the ENB Skyrim patch and it actually works. Have had it up and running for 2 days now.

RedlanceEQ Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 For some reason, since I've installed the beta 1.4 patch, I've had the same problem. I uninstalled the mods I had and tried again. Same bug. I tried the audio fix like written in this thread, same bug. I'm trying a clean install of the game again now to see if it fixes it.

phaota Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I haven't any problems with the game crashing or locking up at the start and I'm using WinXP as well. But, I do have another similiar problem that has started since the latest update, which has stopped me from playing. Load screen crashing that throws me back to Windows. Right now, my character is waiting to get out of the Mzinchaleft ruins via the ending elevator. Last night, the game crashed twice during the loading screen after I activated the elevator. This never occured before the update. Before this situation, the game crashed when twice when I only moved a few feet outside the ruins. I turned off a recently added mod, which seemed to stop the problem since I was able to go through the entire location without a crash, but not at the elevator.

RedlanceEQ Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Well, clean install fixed it for a load up and I was very happy when I tested it. However, I tried again yesterday night and the same problem came up again. This is getting really frustrating. Anyone has an idea what the problem could be? I'm using the following mods: Deadly Dragons modHeadtomb's better sorting modHigh Res Texture pack 01 and 02TRS Dead Companion mod Edit: Found the culprit, Deadly Dragon Normal.esm from the Deadly Dragon Mod Edited February 10, 2012 by RedlanceEQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaota Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 As I noted on another thread, the culprit causing these crashes is the HD DLC Pack. Uninstall or delete the .esp files from your Skyrim Data folder and the game will work perfectly. Mine does. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
