ruler501 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Whenever I try to launch Skyrim through Steam I get "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim failed to start(error code 51). I have tried reinstalling skyrim, removing every program I had thats listed to interfere with steam, verifying the game cache after reinstall and removing the my games/skyrim/ folder. And so far nothing has worked. How can I get skyrim back to working again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knovack1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Bump Other games work fine with steam its just skyrim that doesnt work currentlyThe Error code 51 is something to do with Steam. I seen reports of this Error Code 51 with other games in Steam. IE Fallouts, Battlefields, to name a few. Basicly several games that use Steam been getting this report. So my guess is steam...Sheesh whatever happened to them days playing games with out some secondary launcher program? Old Battlifields used EA launcher, then went to Steam, now are in Origin.
