Skyrim Special Edition Errors:

Below you will find a list with the most common Skyrim Special Edition issues that players are reporting on the forums. For each error, you will have a corresponding solution or workaround, with which you can fix the game and play it. Go ahead and find your solution! ( Note : If you don't know how to apply a workaround please contact our Support Team here and someone will help you fix your game!)

#1 Skyrim Special Edition Not Starting

A lot of players are complaining because they are unable to open the game. When they try to start the game and click the Play button in the Steam Library, nothing happens and the game won't start. For some players, the avatar icon switches to green and instantly back to blue, meaning that the Steam interface started the game but nothing appears on the screen.

Workarounds:

First, try these two workarounds below and see if you can start the game. If not, follow the three solutions below and if nothing works for you, check the "best solution" and this should fix your game and you should be able to start and play it.

• Try to run the game in compatibility mode
• Reinstall Visual C++

Solution 1: If you are not using any mods and it's just not starting, change the "skyrimSE.exe" and "skyrimSELauncher.exe" permissions to run as Administrator and to run as windows 7 compatibility. Right click on the exe files (found in your Skyrim SE game directory) then click properties. Now click on the compatibility tab and then set windows 7 compatibility and run as administrator.

Please note that because of Skyrim SE's infancy, Special Edition modding guides may not yet exist. Please be patient for this.

Solution 2: You may wish to change Skyrim SE's video setup to borderless and window mode. This has been reported to help many.

Solution 3: (By ScrubLordBlunticulus): Change your Skyrim SE display graphics from Integrated Graphics to High-Performance NVidia processor in your Nvidia control panel. ATI cards may have similar issue.

Best Solution: If nothing above works for you and you are still unable to start the game, you need to apply our patch and it will optimize and fix your game. For more details about this, go to the end of the post! (Go Now)

#2 Skyrim Special Edition Black Screen

Apparently, players encounter this issue only at the startup of the game, they see a little launcher box and when they click Play, the only thing they see is a black screen with the background music running and nothing else.

This is an issue that currently doesn't have a definitive fix, you can try that solution below. If nothing works, you can just play Spider Solitaire.

Solution for Nvidia players: Go to Control Panel and switch or change the GPU you were using. You encounter this issue because you are not playing on your dedicated GPU, you are playing with the one integrated in your processing unit.

#3 Skyrim Special Edition Crashes

Just like in the old Skyrim, random crashes are still present and that is driving players crazy. Players reported that when they look at an NPC or when they get near random objects or towns, for example, Whiterun, their game simply crashes. To fix these crashes and play the game, check the solutions below.

Solution 1: If you are using mods, please make sure your mods aren't using any scripts and have reliance on other mods that uses scripts.

Solution 2: Don't forget, mod order is important and make sure you have all the mods which your mods rely on. For instance, some mods might sometimes rely on the unofficial Skyrim patch and if you don't have it, it will crash. Try playing without mods first and see what happens.

Solution 3: Various people have reported that changing the Language helps prevent crashing. You can change the language in Skyrim.ini. If you have a foreign language OS it might not understand your computer so well, using an English or a supported language for your OS (as seen on the Steam Skyrim SE store page) may be helpful.

Solution 4 (By BigDally): If Skyrim SE doesn't launch or crashes a lot try rebooting your computer. Rebooting is always a good first step because certain things may require a restart such as Vredist which is installed with Skyrim SE. Try restarting the game or at least Steam.

Solution 5 (By jesusleton): Try activating triple buffer in your Nvidia control panel.

If your launcher crashes or if you are stuck in a loop, check the solutions below:

Solution 1: Try enabling Administrator mode and Windows 7 compatibility to both exe files in your Skyrim SE folder.
Solution 2: There have been multiple reports that deleting the exe files in your Skyrim folder and then checking file integrity using Steam, it will re-download the exe files and then it will work correctly.

Best solution for all types of crashes: The best solution to fix your crashes and play the game is to use our patch and apply it to your game. It will optimize it and fix your crashes. For more details go to the end of the post! (Go Now)

#4 Skyrim Special Edition Performance Issues – Low FPS&FPS Drops

It's obvious that the game requires a lot from your PC but performance issues are encountered even by players with a super high-end PC. This means that the game is poorly optimized and that's why you are encountering Low FPS, FPS Drops or Stuttering. Some users consider that the game is unplayable due to these performance issues.

Workarounds:

• By default, Skyrim MIGHT set your GPU to integrated graphics instead of dedicated. From what I've seen this is mostly an nVidia issue. Go to your NVIDIA control panel and then go to "Mange 3D settings". Add Skyrim SE if it's not in the list and then change its settings from Global/Integrated Graphis to High-performance NVIDIA processor.
• Disabling G-Sync can vastly improve performance and remove stuttering.
• For freezes: This bug occurs during a grid transition, if staying in the same grid, the game would run fine and not crash but leaving the grid, it would crash. Disable your antivirus (reported using Avast) and the issue may be gone.

Best solution for Performance Issues: The best solution to fix the performance issues is to optimize your game, after that the frame rate will be stable and you won't encounter any freezes. To optimize Skyrim Special Edition, you need to use our patch. For more details, check the tutorial below on how to apply it to your game!
