fms1 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Deleting would not help, unless it forced Steam to "verify" or "resync". That file is in your Skyrim\Data\Strings folder. There is some kind of "verify folder" or "verify game" in Steam somewhere that should get you back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiegril Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 You might try in Steam to verify cache files. Maybe your download was corrupted in some way? Also, are you loading through NMM? Using Skse?If so, maybe try to load the old fashioned steam way just to see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlcr Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) @verrik, hi, just something you could try assuming that error might be coming from issues with the Creation Kit, try a fix by editing your SkyrimEditor.ini adding: [General]sLanguage=ENGLISH(or whatever your default language should be)hopefully this might stop issues with localization lookups; but, i have a feeling this kind of fix only helps the CK and not Skyrim. Check for variable 'sLanguage=ENGLISH' which should also exist in your skyrim.ini under [General]. got curious and tried a console search using 'help 00012584' and a few variations but didn't find anything lol.a few internet searches revealed many other people getting the same error which were mostly Creation Kit or non-English related.this issue might not have been acknowledged by Bethesda, did not spot any quick fixes sorry.wonder if its possible your skyrim.esm file got corrupted?check your load order (plugins.txt) and make sure skyrim.esm is loaded last.have you tried launching skyrim as a local admin?i have a feeling you're probably dealing with a failed Steam install/update or maybe mods that don't like the v1.6 patch..if its a failed steam install/update check to be sure you actually have a skyrim.esm file and if you're running NMM (Nexus Mod Mgr) make sure NMM didn't delete your plugins.txt file.when you 'reinstalled' skyrim, did you completely backup/remove all traces of the previous install folders?
