So, my Skyrim crashes just after bethesda intro. Tried to disable intro and it crashed after few seconds of showing skyrim logo.

I have no mods installed. I had but because it stopped working, i deleted everything. i manually deleted my old saves and .ini files. (load orders etc.) and everything from steamapp. I have tried to change audio setting to every possible option but none of them works. I have reinstalled 3 times now

Thanks in advance for any kind of help!

  • Just to clarify. You tried to disable the intro sequence and this started happening? The game was working before?

  • If you check your load order (Data files in the launcher iirc), what do you see in there?

    It sounds like the game is failing to load and hangs. If reinstalling doesn't fix it then I'm not sure. You could try a clean clean install. Uninstall, restart computer, install. See where that gets you.

    have you verified the integrity of your game cache after installing?

You could try to go into steam, then go to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, then click local files and click on the button that says verify game integrity. This should replace any missing files. If this doesn't work there might be a problem with Skyrim not being assigned enough RAM or something along those lines.

To fix the problem with RAM, you will have to download a program called SKSE. This is really easy to install, and once it is installed launch skyrim through skse_loader.exe in your skyrim root folder (see under).

C:\Program Files(x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\skse_loader.exe

You have to lower your audio format to 16 bit (CD quality) under:
Control Panel > Sound > Select sound card > Properties > Advanced > Default Format.

This worked for me.

    Why does this fix the problem?

    Do you have any backing to this fix? Any proof that it was a factor in the error?

  • Although the poster of this answer has not provided any source it is a genuine fix, at least for some issues, and many people (myself included) found that this worked. Here's one of many suggestions of the fix (see the last post by NeuroStryker): overclock.net/t/1165416/skyrim-sound-issues
