My Skyrim doesnt want to start?!

Post » Mon May 28, 2012 12:28 pm

Out of the blue this morning my Skyrim doesnt want to start. I verified the game cache, restart my PC, defragmented the disk. It just stays on the starting panel of Steam and loades for hours. Help!

Are you using any mods or ini tweaks? Have you tried turning off steam community in your steam settings?

What program's have you got running in the background?

My Game is suffering the same problem after 86 hours. I can't even find it in my C: drive. Not in Program files, Nowhere. This is no coincidence that 2 computers in two parts of the world won't start. What has Steam done?
Edit: No mods

Same problem here, worked fine yesterday and no changes have been made at my end. Now the game sticks in an endless preparing to launch message. Totally unmodded game.

There's a problem with Steam. It's nothing to do with Skyrim.

Seems to work fine in offline mode, so definitely a Steam issue.

Nice to know there's an easy temporary fix and it's not our PC's at fault, cheers Kalniel.

Just got a message about a Steam client update, so maybe this is a fix?

Nope, doesn't seem to have done anything, didn't see it update actually. No idea how long it normally takes as I don't really use Steam for many games - only ones that insist I do.........grrr!

Open Steam, click on the small Steam tab at the top left, and then click the Go Offline option in the menu that drops down.
