infael Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I stopped playing Skyrim, pre-Steam. Today, I decided to fire up Skyrim and am unable to get in under Steam with the Nexus Manager and without. How do I get Nexus running under Steam? I upgraded to the current version today.

Vulon Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I've never launched Skyrim through NMM - I think I may have tried once, and it didn't work for me. So long as you're connected to Steam, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to launch the game, provided you upgraded. What sort of mods do you have enabled? You might have to validate your files through Steam, I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infael Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I ran the cache validation. 1 file failed to validate and will be reaquired. Nothing after that. Have been waiting for Steam support password reset for hours now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upgraded to the current version today.There is no such thing as a "pre-steam" Skyrim. Even if you purchased the disc from a reputable dealer then you had, from the time of installation, to connect to Steam to register and run Skyrim. ALL official updates for Skyrim come through Steam. So I would ask...where did you get your Skyrim and what updates did you install?~Lisnpuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosisab Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I could not understand the problem, Nexus and Steam are unrelated. Starting from NMM is the same as starting directly (with or without SKSE), so probably the game is failing to start normally also. To be able to help you need to provide more information, the nature of the error, and like already asked, the mods you are using (if any). For starters, without being connected to Steam at least the first time for the validation, the game will not start really, so until you get the password and complete the connection there is nothing to be done. Later you may keep Steam offline but not disabled, the game will not run if Steam is not active (yet offline). Edit to correct the occurrence of Steam misspelled as Steal... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaradin Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Sounds to me like we might have another pirate trying to get help with their stolen game. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
