original Skyrim.ini file

[dragonskynight]

i have delete my Skyrim.ini file ( that i changed doing a mistake :wallbash: ) and an other one is appeared in my skyrim folder.

could i maintain the new one or it will cause some problems?

please all the ideas could be useful :thumbsup:

 

p.s. the location of the deleted file is Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Skyrim.ini

It's meant to so that, so that if you completely banjax your ini you can delete it and Skyrim will create a new default one, next time it runs.

[dragonskynight]

But the new Skyrim.ini file is very different from the original one.

Could someone copy what is write in his Skyrim.ini file please? (steps: Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Skyrim.ini)

 

 

this is my Skyrim.ini file now

You may want to check out your SkyrimPrefs.ini in the same directory. I wouldn't recommend just cutting & pasting anybodys ini file (even mine) without BACKING UP YOURS FIRST

[MightyZ0G]

unless you did some serious editing of your skyrim.ini it is better if you use the one the game created.

 

if you were to copy/paste my ini and it caused problems then you would probably have to restart the game as some ini edits have a permanent effect on the game save and can't be undone.

 

here are mine for comparison

DO NOT USE THEM UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

YOU COULD END UP HAVING TO REINSTALL SKYRIM

Is the Skyrim_Default.ini the same as Skyrim.ini? I just need to know so I can mess around with the ini a bit. (not on my computer, my buddy's, and for some reason he doesn't have a Skyrim.ini like I do)

 

Edit: Nevermind, I was in the wrong folder, lol

Edited August 3, 2014 by JeffIstEinTeufel

[bben46]

If you remove the Skyrim.ini you MUST go back and start the game using the original game launcher in steam. Then, it will create a new ini based on your hardware. If you still have a problem, you may want to run the steam 'Validate Game Cache' to restore any missing files.

How about using something like Recuva to recover your deleted ini file?

Thank you, bben46. I did not find the ClientRegistry.Blob. Though, what howtogeek tip did work, I did re-intregrate my files and revalidated them. Now to check if the game works. Thank you, very much.
