Missing textures, replaced by purple

Post » Tue Aug 14, 2012 3:29 am

For some reason, whenever I boot up Skyrim, the dragon logo at the beginning is missing its texture and instead simply appears very light purple. Whenever I try to start a new game, several textures from the game are missing and are replaced by purple. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but that hasn't corrected the problem.

I can't seem to post photos I've taken in game due to the fact that my account is not currently enabled to post links. My account is very new, so I'm assuming that is why. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has photos, please share them.

Make sure no INI files are in the Data directory; uninstall any and all mods, including texture replacers, reverting back to a completely vanilla game; verify the files via Steam; and refresh the INI files in (My )Documents/(My )Games/Skyrim by deleting them and launching the game to generate new ones.

Yes I've got a few, as well as my subscribed mods on the steam workshop. I've removed all of the errored mods already though.
