Skyrim problems

Post by Vlieghalwe »

I have been playing Skyrim for the past 2 days.
This morning when I selected 'play' from the startup screen, I got a message saying: do you want skyrim to make the following changes to your hard drive? I selected yes which led to steam saying that 'skyrim is loading' It then brought me back to the startup screen. I don't know how to fix this never-ending-loop.

Any advice?

Stop using cracks?

Are you using Windows 7? Did you put the UAC on low? Are you running in admin mode?

You need to activate your copy on steam. Happened to me once and activating it helped

They patched the game so that it can't be run without Steam anymore, so what Tribz said.

You might have to do it once or twice. The second time proved to be the charm for me
