Game will not run after loading the 1.4 patch

[Gelda]

I played the game 1 time right after the 1.4 patch and now I can get past the screen that says continue yes or no I hit A button to load last saved game and it does nothing.

So I did cntrl alt delete and no amount of changing settings, go from ultra to low and change the resolution down to 800x 600 which is the lowest you can go and still game will not play.

And I was running at ultra settings before the patch. So 1.4 patch just broke the game......

The patch could've reset your key mappings. Try pressing E or Enter on your keyboard at that screen.

I use the xbox 360 controller for pc game stalls right after you try and load a saved game.
How can I go back to the 1.3 version of the game?

[MushroomStamps]

Check your MyGame Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs files and the audio settings(not reset to 48khz) Sometimes a new patch will reset all those settings back to the original vanilla settings which were crashing many during the first few days of play.

Although I am not CTD, I am reviewing it and comparing to a previous saved version.

Verify game cache?

I verified game cache, and there was no fragmentation. still stalls when trying to load a saved game.

[ZakTheEvil]

Can you load an older game? One other poster had similiar problem.

you cannot, 1.4 is out of beta so it's now offical

Well then my only recourse is to not play the game, remove it completelty and go back to oblivon or play soemthing else that works.

I'm having similar issues.

Originally the game wouldn't run after updating, but it was clearly due to Skyboost (no longer needed after the update, we hope), so I removed that. The game then would start.

Twice the game CTD spontaneously. Once RIGHT when I had just finished a quest, but didn't have time to save. :mad:

Came to this thread, found out that SkyUI had an update. Applied that, hoped for the best.

Ran for a few hours, then froze. Not CTD, mind you, but suddenly wouldn't respond, while the music kept playing soothingly in the background. Had to Ctrl-Alt-Del to get it closed.

The only other mods I'm currently using are texture replacers, which should in no way cause crashes (as far as I know).

Keep in mind that my computer is good enough to be running Ultra settings even prior to using SkyBoost, and I had no crashing issues with the previous game version once I had installed SkyBoost. This is my first experience with 1.4, because I did not opt into the beta patch.

FRUSTRATED. Any suggestions?

Have read in some threads that the newest nVidia driver is causing some CTDs -- something to check out I think.

After the update to 1.4, my game hangs a LOT. Before it was very stable, even with a ton of mods and retextures in place. Now it freezes up every 15 to 30 minutes.

I removed the TESV acceleration layer too. Most mods left are now retextures with the exception of SkyUI (updated) and Deadly Dragons.

Using latest ATI/AMD drivers.

Gonna have to go hunt for a way to restore 1.3?

[Gelda]

Windows saves the patches and versions I did a restore to previous version and i'm back in business. And I have turned off auto updates of the game not going throught this again. Playing the game at ultra again but 1.3 is in place not 1.4,
