partywhipple Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I've been playing Skyrim for 470 hours. Today, out of nowhere, it just started turning off right after the logo displayed. I can't even get to the in game load/start new game choice. Event log shows nothing out of the ordinary. Any ideas please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyfizz Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Could you post your hardware and system specs and advise if they are all still in full working order? Also your mod load list, if you have mods. You could first try validating your game cache on Steam. Other than that, bite the bullet and a full uninstall and reinstall. When I say full uninstall, you not only need to ask Steam to delete all the files, remove your saves and Skyrim.ini and anything else in My Documents as well as, once the uninstall has been done, scrubbing your registry with something like Glary Utilities or CCCleaner.

David Brasher Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This is the same thing the game does when you have a missing master. Have you added or removed any mods lately? Have you maybe even unintentionally clicked on something and made an accidental change to your load order? One type of missing master is when the mod is there, but it is positioned after the mod that refers to it rather than before. Another type that could occur by accident is a missing master that is present, but deactivated. An arcane type of missing master is when the master list load order of one of your mods uses a different load order for masters than you are using. This one does not usually cause Skyrim to fail to start, but it most certainly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
