CurtisD Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Alright to fix these issues you can definitely verify your cache. I did this plenty of times and it did nothing.If you want your mods to work like before or you want your play button to work and it hasn't since the update - most likely due to mods do the following. Go to the TESV.exe file normally located in Program File(x86) > Steam > Steam Apps > common > Skyrim. If not you find it easily by just searching. Anyways, right click on this .exe and go to properties. Within this go to the 'Previous Versions' tab and you can revert back to your previous .exe by copying the .exe from the Previous Versions over the current .exe and all the mods should work correctly as well you should be able to play this now without the play button being a raging a$$hat. Hopefully this works for you, it worked for me. If not I think a uninstall of all mods and reinstall of the game from this point is the only solution. This should work without a problem if the 'verifying your cache' in Steam isn't working. Edited November 24, 2011 by CurtisD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykun Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Could someone please upload a backup file of the Skyrim exe before the damn Steam update screwed things up so I can download it? Or the .ini, whatever file it is they changed to make it so that I cannot launch the game using anything but Steam. I was using this mod http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=365 and now I cannot use it at all thanks to Steam and their stupid update.

Do what I just said above in the previous statement and it will work even when you run it through Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuts4re Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Have not been able to log in, very sorry for the delay. Wanted to say Thank you to all who posted, i was helped by your replies. game updated (or something) today again, and again it would not start when "play" was clicked. rebuilding the cache helped, again. Wish they would fix this. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
