Problems with Skyrim

[ewantheocelot]

When playing Skyrim I have just noticed a problem with the menu. I think this is mainly down to the monitor I am using. It is a LG 34UM95-P and when I am checking my items I do not get the menu at the bottom showing armor rating, health, carrying weight or amount of gold. I have tried setting the resolution in the SkyrimPrefs.ini file but that hasn't worked. Any help would be appreciated.

That isn't really what I'm looking for. I am just trying to get the normal one on my resolution.

And through something I have done it will only play in 4:3.

You should probably post a screenshot.

Currently it is just Skyrim at 1920x1440. I am reinstalling it just to see if I can revert the setting to show you the 21:9 skyrim when it won't show the bottom bar in the menu.

It seems the launcher is overruling the SkyrimPrefs.ini file.

It seems the launcher is overruling the SkyrimPrefs.ini file.

 

Try to open the ini file, type in your values and then save it.

Now before you open your launcher, right click the .ini -> Properties

Check the box where it says read-only.

I will once Skyrim is downloaded.

Just making sure:

Did you edit the correct skyrim.ini?

I think there's one in your Documents/MyGames/Skyrim folder (that's the one you need to edit) besides the one in your installation folder.

[ewantheocelot]

Steam/SteamApps/Skyrim/common/skyrim/skyrimprefs.ini (I think another 10 minutes before it downloads)

[ewantheocelot]

Steam/SteamApps/common/Skyrim/Skyrim/SkyrimPrefs.ini

Now that I have changed the SkyrimPrefs.ini files and set it to read only, it seems to be the right resolution but it won't go fullscreen and the mouse isn't in sync. I appears to only be going in windowed mode and every time I open it from the message says it detcts the hardware and will change the settings to ultra and then won't.

[AllTernative]

That's really strange. You can counter the windowed mode issue by hitting Alt+Enter though - this will switch to fullscreen.

You might want to ask in the steam skyrim forums.

[ewantheocelot]

Tried the Alt+Enter and it didn't change it. Unfortunately I can't take any screenshots because it just shows what the game wants it to be. I will try in the Steam forums. Thanks for your help.

I have posted on the Steam Skyrim forum.

Dont use the launcher...Download SKSE and launch through that.(i cant remember if theres a way to launch without the launcher on vanilla)
