I cannot play the game. I get to the skyrim launch menu, but when I try to start the game, it shuts down and displays an error box titled "ScriptDragon Critical Error" which states:

"Your game version is NOT supported, supported patches: 1.1.21.0(31oct11), 1.1.21.0ceg(18nov11), 1.1.21.0ru(10nov11), 1.2.12.0(30nov11), 1.3.7.0(06dec11), 1.3.10.0(18dec11)"

I've tried to get steam to search for a game update, but it does not seem to be doing anything in the way of updating the game. Am I missing something painfully obvious here? The other updates have all been invisible to me.

Remove all your third party scripts/mods and try again. That error is caused by trying to use Script Dragon. Remove it completely.

[Anthony Rand]

Perhaps one of your mods (SKSE?) does not support version 1.4 of Skyrim.

[ezra]

Whenever you update Skyrim, you will need to update script mods like ScriptDragon and SKSE. They only work with the version of Skyrim they were designed for.

The top shelf of my bookcase in Breezehome is bugging out. Placed a new book on it and then all the books disappeared. So I reloaded and took all the books off the shelf but I can now only put 10 books back on the empty shelf.

Bottom shelf seems fine.

Just begun a new game with the patch. After killing the dragon at the Northwest tower and coming back to Whiterun to explain what's happened to the Jarl, we are supposed to be met by a courier who has a letter for us. I had the worse trouble getting this courier. I had to reload the game at least five times and redo the way between the tower and the city, shouting and shouting again, before the courier eventually showed up.

I know that some people had naked couriers, mine has always been wearing clothes and this one wasn't naked either.

That's all semi random. If the courier met you your first playthrough at whiterun it doesn't mean he would meet you there again(why it took 5 reloads to show up). The courier shows up for some shouts and not for others in my experiance, and depending upon where he's running from wont meet you in the same place. I bet if you'd went on your merry way the cOurier would have shown somewhere else.

Hello. I have found a bug in the Riften Jail. Im running latest Beta Update 1.4 from Steam. There is a problem with one wall - when player stand very close to it then the wall displays properly, but when player step away from it - wall dissapears and we can see void through hole. I attach 2 screenshots presenting this bug.

I haven't updated to 1.4 yet, but I had that issue on my last character, so I don't think it's the patch.

[Victoria Bartel]

Not that it fixes the issue, but to be honest, you probably shouldn't be loading saves within an already running game anyway, at least if Skyrim holds up to the long standing tradition of how TES games handle saving and loading. Your old save won't be cleared properly and scripts may get ornery. Better to quit to the main menu, then load whichever save you want.

(Yes, I come from the Morrowind school of thought. Better to be paranoid than to wonder why your save just imploded in your face. )

Umm....

I could load saves fine before 1.4.

If I shouldn't be loading this way, then why am I able to do so.

Plus, lots of us do it, you know when you're playing and something goes horribly wrong (read: Lydia dies!) you just reload a previous save and you continue on.

Some lingering issues, and one that has gotten worse.

My bookshelf in whiterun has still lost capacity, with the bottom shelf not holding nearly as many books as it should, and any attempt to adjust the top shelf deleting all but one book from existence (This is the one by the fireplace, btw). In addition, the Axe of Whiterun (A Orcish Battleaxe in my game) still does not mount on plaques and racks properly, and removing it from the 2 weapons and a shield rack above the bed actually removes the slot for mounting.

Does anyone know a workaaround/console command that might fix this?

EDIT: Tried waiting for a month, and it fixed the 'lost weapon slot' issue, but other than that both issues remain as they were before. I might do some QA on my own, try and figure out just what's causing the weird display issue with the Axe of Whiterun, if it's all two-handed axes (two handed swords work fine), specifally orcish two-handed axes, or if it's something specific to that exact weapon.

Seems to be a minor issue with NPC dialogue; their lines cut off in the middle & they skip to the next one.

Try to update your audio drivers. Helped me with "sound skipping" problem of the 1.4.21.4 patch.

It started on the bottom shelf for me, anad has moved up to the top. Putting a real damper on my library.

About time someone tried to consolidate this mess.
Now that the beta forum is gone, I suppose I should post this here. This was confirmed by other users in the beta forum and the PC forum.

A radiant quest can be obtained by retrieving a "courier's letter" from a dead courier. The normal contents of the letter look something like this:


To our respectable investor,
It seems our expedition to has met with some resistance from its inhabitants. I know this isn't the first time, but if you would provide us with a few more men and supplies, we are certain the treasure there would yield a return on your investment.
This time for sure.
If not, we could begin searching for prospects outside of .
A swift reply would be most appreciated.

Obviously, as this is a radiant quest, the fields will be filled in dynamically. However, on 1.4.21, this letter reads simply:


To our respectable investor,
It seems our expedition to

This letter was received prior to installing the 1.4.21 and was displayed properly under 1.3.10. No mods were installed at the time this was tested.

My game's started crashing about every 30 minutes after patching. No particular action is being done each time, just random things like walking around in a dungeon or trying to pickpocket someone. Besides simple armor mods and file replacers, my mods and SKSE have been updated to 1.4 versions.

[Danger Mouse]

Static guard dragon flew off and attacked everything but me, although dragon behavior has always been wonky in this game.
A significant increase in CTD's & lockups with this patch though. The first Beta performed better & crashed far less often.
The most stable version of the game for me ironically was 1.0

I can confirm the increase in crash frequency. I started a new game with 1.4.21 and it crashed less than 90 seconds after leaving Helgen. It's never done that before, and I'm not using any mods whatsoever.

Quickload is good for really only one thing in a TES game - and that's for loading after dying in a fight. Anything that makes significant changes to the game state will cause problems because quickload doesn't clear what's in memory like you'd expect it to. If you're loading a game that is not seconds old, you're better off doing it from the main menu.

Still have problems with dragons not engaging in combat. They come swoop around and around, but never engage, then just fly off.

This is not a bug. It may not be a desirable feature, but it's not a bug. It is one possible random dragon encounter. This specific type of dragon encounter is mentioned in the behind the scenes DVD. The reasoning being that the developers didn't want dragons to be merely one more type of creature that randomly attacks. They apparently felt that this gave them more variety.

This has been there since 11/11/11. There have been multiple reports of it and many have attempted to communicate directly with Gstaff and others at Bethesda to make them aware of the issue, yet they have remained silent. I'm sure it is sitting in a bug database at Bethesda where it will be punted from update to update until it gets fixed or the community fixes it. The latter is far more likely to be the ultimate resolution of this issue.

I just shot dragon bones 500 meters (into a lake!) with firebolt spell. Not sure if it was dual cast or just one-handed. Fus-ro-dah would not send it flying but the Firebolts did. Additionally, I killed it with Firebolts.

[Teghan Harris]

To hell the performance increase! I want 1.3.10 back. What's the point in getting 10 fps more, if I can be kicked out of game anytime, anywhere, just like ol' good 1.0 times? Fifth CTD in three hours.

"and that's for loading after dying in a fight", that's what I primarily use it for and my point is, it worked fine before the patch, now it doesn't. Why is this hard to understand?.

[Vincent Joe]

Since the patch, the water in my game has been flickering. It looks like it's displaying the various layers individually rather than on top of each other to create the appearance of depth. I didn't have this problem before the patch. I have no mods. I have a Radeon HD5700 series video card.

[Sarah Evason]

Since 1.4 I am having an issue where the sound will frequently cut out. This happens most often with voiceover dialogue, people will just go silent mid sentence then pick up the last couple words of a sentence. I am using a separate Creative X-fi card, and have my sampling rate set to 24-bit 48000hz.

Also, I am now getting CTD issues VERY frequently. I NEVER crashed before this patch. I tried running with and without the latest SKSE and it makes no difference. It seems to happen most often entering/leaving buildings, but also regularly out in the middle of the field. I am NOT using Skyboost or TESVAL or any other wrappers. VERY frustrating issues.

[HARDHEAD]

well i'm getting 60fps most of the time now but there seems to be a new problem.. while game is running at full power now it's stutters like never before ,almost unplayeble with gamepad because camera moves more slowly than with mouse. this engine is so buggy ..

[April]

It may just be me, but I noticed that the quantity of graphic mods I can load is now limited since the update. I load the game, get the Skyrim logo then at the moment the menu would appear, CTD. I just have to disable a few textures mods, or extra swords mods (doesnt matter which ones), and the game loads and plays fine. Probably something changed with memory management, because it all worked fine until 1.4.15 beta. Started crashing with 1.4.21 beta, so reverted to 1.3.10. Everything worked fine, but 1.4.21 final comes around and there it is again. By the way, why O why doesn't steam remember when I check NOT to update the game automatically??? I didnt want 1.4.21 final, and now I'm stuck with it...

Oh Darn!!! Solution found... If you added anything to the [Papyrus] section of skyrim.ini, just remove it... seems those changes don't work anymore... Game is fine now!

i just updated with the 1.4 patch and now can't even get Skyrim to load. I'm very new to the modding scene, have a couple - maybe 4 mods installed but can't remember the names of the files or their locations to try to delete them. Should I try re-installing and if so, will I lose my 120+ hours?

i press "play" from the menu, my computer flashes up a User Account Control window asking me if I want gamesas Launcher to make changes to my computer, i click "yes", and it drops me back to the original load PLAY OPTIONS DATA FILES screen. I've tried disabling some of the mods using the DATA FILES option but it still won't let me go any further.

Yes, and no, respectively!
So, Yes, you should try to reinstall, of better, start by checking cache integrity from steam client. Right-click on Skyrim in you game library, properties, select the local files tab and click check cache integrity... sorry, the exact text may be different, I'm playing in french.
Also, if you changed anything in you skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini files, make copies of the files, delete them and restart the game. It will create new files and you can check if the problem came from there... (those files are in My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\)
