Position Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hello. I am having a problem with my Skyrim game crashing only when I enable the data files. I am trying to enable them so I can get the mods I've downloaded to work properly, but every time I add the line bEnableFileSelection=1 , Skyrim will launch but then crash. When I delete the bEnableFileSelection=1 from my skyim ini , Skyrim works again. Any ideas on why this is happening? Or are there any other options I can do to get my mods to work and yet not have to enable these data files? Please help and Thank you so much for reading this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTpaul Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hi, i have exactly same problem. I've read at many sites about setting the quality of your sound to minimal, but it doesn't work for this problem. Any help would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Well, let's run through my limited knowledge. "bEnableFileSelection=1" is the first step. Make sure its the one in C:/Users/Your Name/My Documents/My Games/Skyrim/SkyrimPrefs.ini. You can also try moving the installation directory to anywhere outside of C:/Program File (x86). If those don't work you can also download and run the Nexus Mod Manager which has a function to enable your mods built in. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have anything checked other than skyrim under data files, it's just like 'f*** you kat, vanilla or die'.

GTpaul Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I am not sure, but maybe it's because of video card. I have ATI Radeon 6850. Do you have smiliar? (If not then it shouldn't be caused by card) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuForce Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I am having ATI Mobility Radeon 47xx....updated drivers,and like kat said:If bEnableFileSelection=1 and not =0 it crashes after Bethesda LogoSound is not changing anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this is the central problem? I haven't tried NMM yet, but I will check it out as you say and see if it works if I follow your instructions. Yea and I don't think it is a graphics card problem. My computer is quite new. Edited April 8, 2012 by Position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will replace any missing files. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Position Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Alrighty then. I actually decided to go through my mods 1 by 1 with the nexus mod manager to figure out which ones werent allowing the game to launch (should have done this earlier, donno why I didn't figure that out). I figured out my Wars in Skyrim mods, and Water.esp mod were the ones making my game unable to launch. I read somewhere else online about how some of the mods require an Update.esm file to work properly. Edited April 9, 2012 by Position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
