So today I thought I'd start up a new game of Skyrim after not playing it for almost a year. I wiped my ps3 clear of all saves and reinstalled Skyrim. Everything went fine until I got to the loading screen after you press start to start the new game. All I could see was the dragon and random facts popping up and it stays on that screen. I really want to play this game again but so far its not going to plan. Any help really appreciated. Thanks.

I've had that happen before. I manually restarted the PS3 and it worked fine after that. Have you tried restarting? Or clearing off some extra room from your PS3s hard drive, then running the game? Skyrim is a fairly large game and needs a lot of room to run.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. I've wiped my ps3 so theres no other game data at all I have the 180gb PS3 Slimline. So I decided to delete the game data and try reinstalling and I've ran into more problems now, its been stuck on 17% for the past 20mins lol any ideas? Maybe I'm just not meant to play skyrim again :sadface:

Hello! :3
I've had this happen to me on multiple occasions. I don't know exactly what I did, but I will say everything I did in order.

1. I wiped the memory clean. New fresh game and data.
2. I installed the game to the harddrive.
3. I turned off the console and turned it back on.
The loading screen took about 15-20 minutes.
The game functioned perfectly and Xander was happy :)
Note: This was on Xbox 360.

Found a new system update. Updating now and then we'll test Skyrim and see if it works. Thanks for the input Xander we'll see how this goes! Also theres a patch for Skyrim when I loaded it up the first time, should I install it or will that make things worse this time round?

Install, Bethesda is known for funny bugs and great games, not screwing people over. :D

I'll just wait for it so and see what happens. No doubt I'll run into more problems even if it does install :sadface:
In which case a good old fashion fix will be required hammer vs Ps3 :D

Is it really meant to take this long to install, I'm still on 16% lol.
Every harddrive Is different, so it takes different times for each individual.
Still 17%. Keep waiting?
don't quit now! You're far to deep to turn back. Do this for Talos! Wait like you've never waited before!!
Lol let us know what happens.
