Skyrim PC Issue when going into third person crashes the exe

Post » Thu Aug 27, 2015 1:46 pm

Hello there,

I don't know if this topic has been covered or not already but recently I have been having an issue with my Skyrim game on the PC.

This issue comes from me as the player going into the third person point of view, every time I press the F key to go into third person it crashes the game just closes it entirely. Many of you may say "It's a mod causing this issue..". I have removed every mod in my game and it still happens when I press the F key it crashes my skyrim game. Now I know the game is 4 years old and I don't expect a response immediately but any response to help me and I would be very grateful, I've had that itch to go and play Skyrim again recently hence why me wanting to try and play it. My man hours according to Steam are 600 plus and that is across 2 characters and yes the F key crash happens on both of these characters. So deleting my saves it out of the question for me because the amount of hours I've put into both of these characters and I'm weary for a reinstall for fear of losing these characters.

So as you can see I'm in a predicament, I want to play Skyrim but can't play because the F key crash happens. Hopefully someone on this forum can help me out and send me on my merry way.

yours,

Does it do it on a new game?

I ask becuase even though you've removed all your mods, their effects will still be in the save game and if one was casuing the crash, that effect will still be in the save.

I would go back to just the base version with just patches for it. Test it. Add each mod and play for 1-2 weeks to determine which one breaks it.

600 hours are a very long time. !!!

You may lose your character allready.

How many mods do you have ???

Actually the first thing you should do, is post your load order on that thread.

It may someone can help you on this.

Well, you should try at least something !!!

Just back-up your saves, and keep those in a safe place. So you will not lose anything.

If something goes wrong, you will have your back-up save files.

How many saves do you have, and have you any working saves at all ???

-------------

Also to ask, have you created any nif meshes yourself ??? (with blender os similar ???)

i came across this (obviously not related to your case, however i only mention it): http://niftools.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=4175
