Skyrim isn't working!

Post » Thu May 17, 2012 9:32 pm

When i open skyrim for PC, it isnt working! When i click play, it takes me to the skyrim-symbol home screen, and when the smoke stuff starts rolling in.... the mouse becomes all glitchy, and irresponsible, and then when i click new game, and it takes me to the waiting screen thing, it becomes even worse. Usualy, its like a dragon or something, and its all like... milky - the graphics arent even clear! And when i try to rotate it, its all glitchy, and moves in irregular patters. And One time, it got past this stage, and the intro is going very sloww.... the mouse is irresponsive.... i cant even look around.... Everything is colored weirdly, and its just plain glitchy. Does anybody know how to fix this???? i put quality on low, windowed mode, and i have no items running in the backround- ithink( i checked task manager) Is their anything else you can do to fix this. I NEED HELP PEOPLES.... I NEED TO PLAY SKYRIM.... help PLEASE

You're not the only one. Join us in waiting patiently for the next patch.

I recommend you to send a dxdiag report to the support team at Bethesda so they
can identify the problems you are having and fix them eventually.

Or start here to eliminate possible hardware questions:

Basic Hardware Specification Chart (Empty so far)

Processor Manufacturer: AMD / Intel
Processor Name / Type: Athlon X2 / Pentium D / C2D / dual core / quad, etc.
Processor Speed: ?.? Ghz
Operating System / Service Pack: WindowsXP with SP #?, Win7, Vista ?
System RAM: ? ? GBs (MBs, if less than 1024 ? )
Video (GPU) Manufacturer: ATI / Nvidia (only those two are supported, PERIOD, so please answer which of them you have)
Video Card Model: (examples) Radeon HD 6670 / Geforce GTS 450
Video Card Driver Version: Catalyst ?.? / Nforce ??.??
. . (please use the numbers, and dates, *not* the word "latest")
Video Card onboard RAM: ? ? ? MBs
Sound Card Manufacturer:
Sound Card Driver IDs:
Sound Card Model:

(And this is only for the raw hardware & driver variations. Potential software conflicts are far more likely to be game play problems, and developers cannot test for all possible program loads.)

P. S. (Just in case) Please use every day business style paragraph breaks, punctuation, and spelling.

Hundreds of other people are having issues as well.
