vegaorc Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 So I don't know if I should post this here or not but... Whatever. I hope someone can help me out. Ok so today I uninstalled Skyrim so I could install it again... I install it from the disc and here's what happens: At the end of the installation, the files inside the Skyrim installation folder get deleted and steam starts downloading the game! What is going on? I've tried to run the setup as an administrator, didn't work. Tried safe mode, didn't work. Tried to disable updates, didn't work. Can someone help me?

gokira Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 instead of uninstalling it maybe you should verify the local files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegaorc Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Well I already uninstalled... And I can't verify local files after installation because the files are instantly deleted.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clawdius69Talonious Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Since Skyrim was released the files on Steam's servers were reformatted to Steam's new content system. While this makes for smaller downloads in the future, it is unavoidable that in order to structure the files in the new way they must be reorganized and many reacquired. It is a time intensive process, but you will only have to go through it once after an installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegaorc Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) So installing from the DVD is pretty much useless now? Problem solved. Apparently it was just updating, however it showed it was downloading the whole game again ( 5GB ). Weird, uh? Thanks Edited March 7, 2013 by JohnyAlvez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
