So, when I start a new game via the main menu, the game will crash to the desktop.
Extra info:
- Models on main menu (dragon) and loading screen are both missing.
- The game crashes even when not using any mods.
- There is a dollar sign in front of some text.
- The game doesn't run in fullscreen mode, even when set to do so in the launcher.
Things that I already tried:
- Verifying the game's integrity via Steam.
- Removing the game and all folders and files that had something to do with the game (i.e. My Games/Skyrim: Special Edition) and then reinstalling the game.
Any information and/or help is greatly appreciated, even if it's just a suggestion that may provide some more info.
Edit:
I have since posting this question also tried the following things:
- Updating video drivers.
- Moving the install folder to another drive or just plain installing it there.
