Kiki981 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I just downloaded and installed new drivers for NVIDIA graphics card. after installation I tried to run Skyrim. And window showed up with: "Failed to initialize renderer. Unknown error creating the renderer." And that's it. Game won't launch not even to main menu. And all I did was update graphics driver. Anyone else have this problem? I tried to start game many times, but same renderer problem. So I think I'll roll NVIDIA driver to previous version.

jones177 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Skyrim has stopped working on both of my computers. I get the same message. I have not played Skyrim for a while. I tested it after reading your post. Skyrim has been working on at least one of my computers since 2011. This is truly a sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jones177 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I used DDU to uninstall drivers & reinstalled older drivers. Got the same message. Next I checked to see if it was an ENB issue by removing all ENB files. The game worked. I then updated ENB to v0319 & now my game is back to normal. Good luck with your game.

Kiki981 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 It helped me when I rolled back my NVIDIA driver to previous version. Now game starts normally. So problem is NVIDIA latest driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkiev Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thanks for the head's up. Luckily, as it turns out, I've been lax in updating my drivers so I'll stick with the old ones for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiflyboy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I downloaded the drivers 411.63, made sure i had uninstalled the older driver with IObit first, loaded up NMM, nothing showed up other than a pinkish grey screen, exited, did a restart of my pc, tried again but same thing happened, so uninstalled driver 411 and went back to my old driver 388 which i have decided to stay with and everything worked again....voila !!

Kiki981 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 I hoped, that newest NVIDIA drivers 416.34 would be free of this error. But, as it seems, the error is still there. So I guess, I'll have to stick with old drivers. I did everything possible to fix this problem (disable/enable graphics card, delete all ENB files, delete Skyrim.ini and Skyrimprefs.ini,...) but nothing helps. So It's deffinetly not Skyrim's fault, but it's something that NVIDIA "fixed" in their drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
