The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the fifth part of the series, developed by the American studio Bethesda Game Studios and released on November 11, 2011. The main plot branch of the project revolves around the prophecy, according to which the dragon Alduin appeared in the world of Skyrim in order to destroy it. Our hero, who is a dragon fighter, of course, must destroy him. However, the storyline is not so interesting in the game, and the length will be only 6-7 hours. However, in Skyrim there is simply a huge number of side quests, which are sometimes many times more interesting than the plot ones. The study of the world itself, which, as before, is completely open to research by players, as well as completing tasks for various guilds, can take a gamer more than 200 hours. And, importantly, the game does not bother, so a great bow to the developers. The game was awarded the title "Game of the Year" at many ceremonies, including the Video Game Awards.
Errors and bugs of the game. Ways to fix them
Of course, a project of such proportions as Skyrim could not do without various bugs and errors. Consider the most common players face.
1. Skyrim crashes on startup. This is a fairly common mistake that occurs with players. Oddly enough, it is associated with sound. You can solve this problem by updating the drivers for your sound card and then restarting the computer. After the above actions, go to the sound settings, where we set the "stereo" mode. The problem is resolved. If you still Skyrim crashes at startup, try updating the drivers for the video card, disable the antivirus and other unnecessary background applications. Problem still exists? So, you have a weak computer, since Skyrim is very demanding on the resources of your PC. If you are using a pirated version of the game (downloaded from a torrent), try installing patch 1.2, which, according to the developers, should fix problems with sound, and, therefore, the error "Skyrim crashes on launch".
2. After the start of the game, Skyrim sometimes crashes with the error Missing X3DAudio1_7.dl. This issue is resolved by updating DirectX 9 libraries.
3. The game constantly slows down and lags, what should I do? As often happens, the problem is solved by updating the drivers of the video card (can be found on the official websites of the manufacturers) and DirectX libraries. If the situation has not changed much, lower the "Shadow Detail" level in the settings, since it loads the system very much. Disabling anti-aliasing can also help.
4. Installation issue - "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Install Fails, Cannot Install". If you encounter this error, try uninstalling the old versions of Microsoft Visual c ++ and installing the latest version.
5. If your Skyrim crashes when launched on the pirated version, then maybe the library of the game is simply corrupted. Try downloading another torrent.
Most in-game bugs are solved by installing patches. If you have a Steam license, this will happen automatically. If the pirated version, then download from the Internet.
