- Re-installing the game
- Unsubscribing from all mods
- Starting a new save
- Deleting the Skyrim folder in Steam
- Deleting all Skyrim data saved in the My Games folder (backing up my saves first)
- Re-installing Steam,
- Installing the Steam beta
- Verifying the integrity of the game cache and de-fragmenting the cache files (both countless times)
- Briefly installing the Skyrim 1.8 beta patch, then uninstalling it, the game, and re-downloading/re-installing the game from scratch.
- Submitting a Steam support ticket
Worth noting is that under the "DLC" section of the game's Steam properties, I have Dawnguard (Steam Store), Hearthfire (Retail - was purchased from GreenManGaming.com), Skyrim High Resolution Texture Pack (Steam Store), and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim japanese Hearthfire (Retail).
ANY help would be MUCH appreciated!
Thank you,
Osiris
