Crashing to desktop after launch? - by 0vast

Posted: 24.09.2016 20:14

I've been playing for about 40 hours or so without any problems (except for a crash to desktop during gameplay every now and then).

After a quick-save quick-load sequence, my game crashed. Now clicking on Launch Enderal will load the home screen, but as soon as that comes up it crashes with the "Skyrim has stopped working" error message.

Any ideas on how I can fix this? I've tried restarting my computer a few times, but I'm still getting the same error.

I have exactly the same problem too. Started to occur out of the blue having spent quite a few hours playing over a series of sessions and now the launch loads up fine, but as soon as I proceed to the game the initial opening screen (the beautiful painting of Arc) appears (without the options in lower right - continue, new game etc) and then the Steam error appears and the game crashes to desktop - very frustrating.

Steam error code?

Check your installation for mods / steam subscriptions. Remove any mods prior to your latest working save game.

Delete your Skyirm.ini / SkyrimPrefs.ini, start the Enderal Launcher - check your configuration settings.

Try to uninstall the game and re-install it through the Enderal launcher.

HI, just wanting to add my 2 cents to this issue and elevate its importance.

Been away from the game for a few weeks, but as soon as I click Launch Enderal, I get a ping noise that the game has crashed but no error message.

The game worked fine a couple of updates ago, but not at all now.

My game version is 1.1.3.5

Any help would be appreciated.

Can provide more info if need be.

Thanks

Attach your LauncherLog.
C:\Programme(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\EnderalLauncher\system\log\Launcher.log

Thanks guys - to be clear, nothing has changed in my setup, mods etc from installing Enderal, playing Enderal and encountering the problem. I've attached my launcherlog as requested.

Ok, download the launcher again from http://enderal.com and just copy the new one in your Skyrim folder. Overwrite the old one. Run the launcher as administrator and it should work again.

Thanks - just tried that. DLed the pack, unzipped it and pasted it into the Skyrim folder replacing the original and ran the launcher again with the same result, save weirdly now the "Skyrim has stopped working" or whatever the error message was has now disappeared - I just get dumped on the desktop none the wiser why.

Mhm, I said: Just download the launcher, not the package :/ That was my mistake, I should have linked the launcher correctly but I was on my phone typing and couldn't remember the link. You are not supposed to extract the package.

Ok, start the Launcher. Click on the "Change Installation". Choose "uninstall Enderal completely". Skyrim will be installed again. Go to your steam library and Verify the Intergrity of Skyrim's game cache.
Use the newest Launcher from here: http://launcheren.enderal.com/
Copy the launcher only into your Skyrim directory. Start it and click "Install Enderal" by choosing the installation package (the .gz file).

Thanks. Did all that (to the letter) and it produced the same result. Only thing I wasn't sure was whether I was supposed to "archive" and then "restore" or just delete and then reinstall. I chose the latter because I didn't want to lose my savegames, but perhaps that's unavoidable (I hope not).

A complete uninstall (not archiving!) and reinstall with the new launcher should solve the problem. Maybe take a new installation package for the installation. Your Savegames won't be touched by the launcher. They stay in the Savegame directory: documents\my games\Skyrim\saves

Could you attach your current LauncherLog if it's still not working? Thanks.

Ah phew - will try that gain then if save-games are unaffected. Thanks for your help.
