Hawkefire Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Please help me..... I am computer stupid and was reordering my mods. after the reorder I started getting massive crashes and especially from certain towns like Solitude and Riften. I checked my mods for load order (as per nexus mod manager) and every thing looks good. I ran Boss and it showed Checksums on all mods..... I don't understand what a checksum is or how to even attempt to fix the problems (out side of starting over from scratch)... I really need some advice on this one.... any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. I am running windows XP with an Amd Duel core 3000 MHz, Nvidia GPX 560 graphics card, and 4 Gbs of ram. and I baught my skyrim game from my local game store... Also if its not too much to ask ..... how do if find out what version of Skyrim I have (ie. 1.5.xxxx , 1.6.xxxx) and how to update it if its the wrong one? one more stupid question ...... For the life of me I cannot find my save game files in my file folders to check for bloated save files... (I told you I was computer stupid...).

bben46 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Even if you purchased the game on a disk you still must go through Steam to properly install it. If you go through Steam, the game will automatically be updated to the latest version. If you try to bypass steam, your game will be treated as a pirate version and will have problems that we can't help with. Such as some mods failing to work because you do not have the latest steam updates. Checksums not matching are usually caused by corrupted files. A file when created generates a number called a checksum. When that file is tested later, and the new checksum is diferent from the original that means that something in that file has been changed and it no longer matches the original. Kind of like counting your money twice and getting a different result. You know something isn't right in that file. Here is a link to my troubleshooting blog. .http://s1.zetaboards.../4751769/1/#new If you use any of this and have some success - or even if nothing works - please post back here what you did that worked or didn't work. That kind of information can be invaluable to other members having the same or similar problems - And to me in fixing any problems in the blog. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
