A "small tweak" breaks everything

Recommended Posts

So, I was taking that "5 easy tweaks" on Nvidia's webpage (and apparently, the "founders" of those tweaks were the guys at Tweakguides), tried uGrids.

 

I had uGrids long ago, but it was actually worthless so I preferred more performance than quality. I wanted to set it to 5 back again, instead of 7. I followed the guide to restore it back to 5, but at the 7th or so step (The one where you save your ini), instead of making a save and quitting, after alt+tabbing back to Skyrim, it crashed. When I restarted Skyrim...

 

The logo was red, the loading screen was red, quicksave INSTANTLY crashes, the "new" save, one at the start of Skyrim apparently, is buggy as hell (Player runs without control). I tried a lot, like removing/changing the Skyrim.INI and so on, no changes at all, no fix.

 

How can I fix this? It really bothers me.

Two things

Delete all altered files, mods, associated files and all saves except prior to the alteration then if you know how "Verify Integrity of Game Cache"

Reinstall Skyrim but properly uninstall first

I strongly suggest the first method before trying the second for the obvious reasons

The red screen is part of one of the fixes for Ugrids, I don't remember how now but there's a fix somewhere in the forums, you will have to search or try one of those dreaded alternatives. Sorry

Not sure if I said it right, but I think it is another problem.

 

So, I had uGridstoload set to 7, but I wanted to set it back to 5, so I used one of those "fixes". But apparently, after Part 7, the game crashed. I did "saveini" and "refreshini" but, game crashed...I got back to Skyrim, the menu is discoloured, it is red. When I try to play my saves it instantly crashes.

 

I am thinking it really is uGrids...Anyway, that fix, I don't think it will work anymore, so I guess I will go find other fixes, or try SD's.

 

EDIT: So, an .INI file was on my Data, called "WATER.INI", I removed it and now the logos are no longer red, but I don't think the saves still work.

 

EDIT2: Finally, the save does work and so did this "fix" I found, thanks for the help. Now for other problems, I'll make other threads.
