This week I had some time off from work and I thought I would look into some of the things that have been bugging me about Skyrim problems I have been experiencing lately.
The issue I have is when I verify integrity of game cache or I delete Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini from My Games Skyrim, I would get a “Skyrim Launcher has stopped working†message when the game is first run from Steam. This would happen when the Video Detection dialog appears and OK is selected. This had been ongoing for some time and as I only run the launcher when I set up the game I let go and did not worry about it.
When monitoring the My GamesSkyrim folder I saw that both files were created as this was happening, but none of the video information was set when I ran the launcher the next time, which ran perfectly fine the second time. I also noted that the Modified date time stamp was different for both files. Skyrim.ini had a date that was a couple of months behind the current date. My only thought here is the date did not get updated because the program was crashing and the video detection was not done and never applied to the ini file.
I traced this down to the ENB I had installed. I removed the ENB, deleted both configuration files and the launcher is happy again. The new configuration files have the same date modified time stamp. I installed another ENB thinking somehow my first one was a bad install, but I got the same results. ENB being used is ENBSeries v0.264. Rolling back to an earlier version of ENB did not help.
If anyone knows of a solution for the problem I would like to hear it or if others have this problem and it is not just me.
