Skyrim doesn't start - it could be because of it

This guide shows you what you can do if Skyrim doesn't start.

Skyrim doesn't start: you can do that

If Skyrim doesn't start, there can be many reasons. The Steam gaming platform in particular may cause problems.

1. Uninstall all mods as they can cause problems in rare cases.
2. Restart your PC and then open Steam again.
3. Make sure Steam isn't currently updating your Skyrim game. You can see that in your game library.
4. Right-click "The Elder Scroll V: Skyrim" in the library, then click Properties. Under "Local files" you will find the item "Check game files for errors". Click on it to have Steam check the installed game files.
5. Steam games often do not work if you are not connected to the internet or the game platform itself is offline.
6. You should also examine your graphics card for errors and install the latest drivers.
