General Crash-to-Desktop and Zoning/Loading Crashes

If you saw our graphical overhaul of Skyrim, where we listed the best graphics mods for the game, you already are familiar with how important the modding community is to the series. Before anything else, you should install the Skyrim 4GB mod (assuming your system has 3GB or more memory available for Skyrim's use), which makes Skyrim launch in a 'Large Memory Address' aware mode, thus allowing it to utilize more system memory and potentially prevent crashes.

The now-defunct 'Large Address Aware' mod has been replaced by 4GB Skyrim, a mod which loads Skyrim with Large Address Aware flags that set it to utilize more memory, as stated above, and it's as simple as launching the modded .exe rather than the normal version of Skyrim. Hey, maybe you'll get lucky and this will fix your problems altogether. It fixed mine before I broke it again.. but I found more solutions to problems as they arose, as discussed below.

Something like this can happen if you have the d3d9.dll file in your skyrim folder. From your post I can't tell if you have it or not but if you do try moving it somewhere like the desktop then see if it will detect your hardware properly then you can put it back afterwards. As I said in my original post there is no d3d9.dll file. D3d9 Dll Skyrim Nvidia Freezes. Welcome to BleepingComputer, a free community where people like yourself come together to discuss and learn.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim failed to start (error 51)

This error code is unique to Steam's version of Skyrim, and for the most part, it's a pretty quick fix. We have two simple solutions -- assuming you haven't installed any mods that play with root files, one of the two should work for you. If they don't, it may be time to ask us below or to re-install Skyrim (just back up your save files).

1. Launch SkyrimLauncher.exe directly.

• Navigate to the Skyrim install folder (C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonskyrim).
• Launch SkyrimLauncher.exe from this folder.

2. 'Verify the integrity of game cache.'

• Open your Steam Library tab.
• Right-click on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and select Properties.
• Click on the 'Local Files' tab.
• Click 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache..'
• Allow the verification and potential re-download to commence. You'll know it worked if it found a corrupt file and fixed it automatically.

If neither of these works, you may have a rogue .dll or strange setting that is residual from a failed mod attempt. Try deleting d3d9.dll and re-verify the game's cache.

Skyrim Doesn't Launch at all or opens and closes!

If there's no error message but you're still unable to launch (i.e., if it simply opens and then closes immediately), try options 1 & 2 of the 'error 51' fix located above. One of these should help. If neither helps, it is possible that background processes are interfering with Skyrim. Try temporarily disabling anti-virus software to see if it functions any better.

My Mouse is laggy or otherwise nauseating when playing Skyrim

If you're having this issue, first of all, try checking our article we published about it here. It's most likely that you have mouse smoothing enabled, which just feels 'wrong' to most gamers. If the instructions on that link don't help you, try using what helpful website commenter 'James' suggested:

NVIDIA Users

• Launch the NVIDIA Control Panel (right-click your desktop).
• Go to 'Manage 3D Settings' and then the 'Program Settings' tab.
• Add Skyrim as a program (tesv.exe).
• Locate 'maximum pre-rendered frames' and change it to 0, which should help with input lag.
• You might also consider changing Vertical Sync (at the bottom) to 'Force off' just in case.

ATI/AMD Users

• Install ATI Tray Tools or the ATI Catalyst.
• Locate the 'Flip Queue' setting and adjust it similarly to the NVIDIA setting above: change it to either 3, 2, 1, or 0 (recommended).

If none of these options work, you could also try this:

• Launch a Windows Explorer window (win key + e).
• Navigate to Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonskyrimSkyrim
• Open SkyrimPrefs.ini in Notepad.
• Locate [Controls] and then find 'bMouseAcceleration=1'
• Change bMouseAcceleration=1 to bMouseAcceleration=0 instead; this will disable 'mouse smoothing' and 'mouse acceleration' in Skyrim.
• **Set the file to 'Read Only' by going to the .ini file's properties -> attributes. Skyrim might be overwriting your settings.

I'm an awesome person. How do I disable vsync?

First off: it's nice to meet you, awesome person. I, too, am particularly awesome. It is for this reason that awesome people -- such as yourself -- are in luck; we're able to work together, see, and benefit from each other. Vsync was causing issues with my 120Hz monitor, so I disabled it by doing the following:

• Access Users[Username]My DocumentsMy GamesSkyrim
• Locate Skyrim.ini.
• Add the following line to the very bottom of the file: iPresentInterval=0
• Save Skyrim.ini, set it to read-only just in case (properties -> attributes -> read only).

My Skyrim mods broke the game, how do I uninstall mods?

This depends on the mod. First and foremost, check the page on which you initially found the mod and check for their uninstallation or crash resolution updates. If you cannot find any, try checking the readme.txt file that came with the mod. If that fails you, you should first make backups of and then delete relevant files (i.e., d3d9.dll, injFX, or stuff of that nature) from C:Program FilesSteamSteamappsCommonSkyrim, then verify the game's cache in Steam to re-download them (Steam Library -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Cache).

My screen goes black when I minimize, what do I do?

Check our article that we published specifically about this issue. It's an easy work-around and shouldn't cause any further issues.

None of these seemed to work for me - what now?

Short of commenting below and asking for assistance from us, or contacting Bethesda for help on their official forums, here are some programs that might be interfering with Skyrim and thus might cause it to crash:

• Fraps
• NVIDIA Control Panel
• ATI Catalyst
• ATI Tools
• Avast! Anti-Virus
• Steam's Community Overlay (Steam Library -> Right-click Skyrim -> Properties -> Disable Steam Community Overlay)
• Capture programs
• FPS monitoring programs
• EVGA's Precision
• NVIDIA's 3D Vision

We'd encourage you to try playing around with your graphics settings prior to posting questions -- set them to minimum and see if it functions any better, then figure out which setting is causing it (probably FXAA or render distance).

I hope this was helpful for those of you suffering the same Skyrim bugs that I did (and still do). I'll post more of these as our team stumbles across solutions. If you find a solution or require further assistance, please comment below or post on our forums!

AntiFREEZE Patch 9 ENBSeries v0.096 for TES Skyrim

POSTING THE ENBSERIES BINARY FILES ON NEXUS SITES IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED
Warning! fixes some graphical bugs for both ATI and NVidia videocards. In most cases they are some kind of black fence or dots on the screen, flame from dragons breath and magical effects. Fixes BSODs of display driver. Decrease amount of freezes and stuttering. Additional features may be activated by changing enbpatch.ini parameters, for example fps limiter.
patch allow to run several d3d9.dll files at same time. Read documentation on the web site about [PROXY] category.
Version #9 - fixed bug in the patch which turn off antifreeze feature for previous default configs in enbpatch.ini. Minor changes in fps limiter. Added shader recompiler from graphic modification to fix some other bugs, i'll describe it later.
Version #8 - added new anti BSOD method, which is not decrease performance, it increase fps for some PC. Added key for displaying fps (default is * on numpad). SpeedHack was changed, it may increase fps for videocards and drivers (disabled by default). Optimus still not working, but i decided to keep adapter index parameter, may be it will be useful for some multihead videocard or multimonitor display.
Version #7 - fixed BSOD problem for users with amount of video memory less than 1 gb which running game at highest quality, BY DEFAULT IT'S TURNED OFF, so if you do have BSODs or crashes, open enbpatch.ini, find the line AntiBSOD and set it to 'true'. Unfortunately, it cost a lot of performance, that's why it's disabled by default, to keep angry users far from me. Added experimental adapter selector, may help to use NVidia card on laptops with Optimus technology, set ForceVideoAdapterIndex=true and VideoAdapterIndex=1, that may work (or not, i don't have laptop for testing). Added FPS limitation feature with keyboard control (shift+home keys together). Fps display feature (numpad * key). Now with deviceid and vendorid you also may write videocard model. Fix some lags may help WaitBusyRenderer=true parameter, it's kind of VSync slow down.
Version #6 - added experimental memory usage reducing method which allow on some PC decrease amount of BSOD and crashes, even with installed LAA patch. But it have some issues at this moment:
1 performance is lower when using ReduceMemoryUsageBETA=true
2 game is unstable in fullscreen mode
3 ReduceMemoryUsageBETA make things even worse on PC with slow videocard
Use this feature carefully and in windowed mode!
Version #5 - added parameters to switch render device to safer mode, like in version 3; added device id and vendor id parameters to foolish game with custom videocard model, this may help to fix some bugs and also may affect performance (change these values from list of known videocard models); configuration file name changed from enbseries.ini to enbpatch.ini to allow use patch with ENBSeries graphic mods together without dependencies.
Version #4 - optimized code to reduce negative performance impact when using this patch. Disabled all shadow quality improvements of previous versions. Added parameter to switch off graphic bugs patch and leave only freeze fix part of it.
Version #3 - added experimental fix for freezing and lagging (code from Silent Hill Homecoming patch doing this), some problems with sound also may be solved, patch supports memory greater than 2 gb.
Version #2 - added fixes for shadows, now they are working for objects like mountains and much less pixelated (noticable on characters the most).
