This method is experimental presently(see associated bugs), so try at your own behest.
Game getting stuck at load screen (Vivid Weathers ENB)
Game getting stuck after/during load screen, ingame music keeps running(Multiple ENB Presets)
There is a black overlay over characters and objects(Tetrachromatic ENB Ghost Preset)
Everything is black with only hud visible
Audio
To fix crackling and choppy sound with Pulseaudio:
Possible fix 0:
run in some terminal:while true; do pasuspender sleep 0.02; sleep 60; done
This finally prevents buffer underruns and the sound is perfect then.
Possible fix 1:
Make sure your realtime kit (rt-kit) is installed and functional so it can assign pulseaudio realtime priority. The kernel config CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED needs to be off for this (see here).
Possible fix 2:
Setting SndQueueMax to 15 (default is 10), see
here:
wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys
Possible fix 3:
Launch wine with an environment variable set:
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=50 wine steam.exe
Underwater view
If you cannot see underwater (water is solid green):
Edit SkyrimPrefs.ini in your 'My Games\Skyrim' directory and in
the [Imagespace] section set bDoDepthOfField=0 and iRadialBlurLevel=0
This is a game bug, not a Wine issue!
Stuck at main screen
Some mods change the fonts in Skyrim and sometimes that ends in wine not showing up the menu of Skyrim. Simple fix is to remove fontconfig.txt in Data/Interface.
Crashes, texture bugs etc..Remember, this is a Bethesda game, a few bugs happen for Windows users too, so blaming wine might not be justified. Please leave comments and bug reports, especially if things that used to work suddenly break.

I have updated to Wine-Staging 4.3 and now when the game runs, after Bethesda Logo, remains in Black Screen (with sound).
I need to Alt-Tab once to see the menu.
Other thing is that before, with Wine-Staging 4.2, I can see tips and pictures of load screens and now I see a Grey Screen or Blue Screen or other colors.

Sorry for open the thread.

This is everything you need to get FNIS working:
winetricks physx dotnet45 vcrun2010 msxml6
Note that installing dotnet seems to create false error messages whenever you launch anything in that prefix. (for me at least)
You can simply ignore these messages and the game will continue to launch and play just fine.

2. set dinput8 to "builtin,native" in winecfg
3. Run game and use Shift+F12(or whatever you have set your shorcuts to) to launch enb control.

Some have mentioned patching a library, but info about said patch and the method for doing so hasn't been accessible.
It appears to be a problem that has been known since 2012, so hopefully somebody knows what I can do about it. Best I've done is alt+tabbing and putting focus back onto the game to regain mouse warping.

Previously used versions of Wine were 2.4 and 2.8. Hopefully this saves a bunch of headaches.

Also, keep a separate wineprefix for skyrim as lots of setting that skyrim uses are mutually exclusive with those used by other games.

Just installed Skyrim via steam on Ubuntu 16.04.
I'm using wine 2.4 (staging) and the game does start, I can hear background sounds but no music during the main intro (when you travel with other prisoners on the carriage).
When they talk, I can see the lips moving, but no audio.
Additionally, I reach the stage where I'm supposed to create my character - but nothing happens.
Please note all of this is on a clean installation of wine, then only additional install I did was "winetrick corefonts".
What can I do?
Thanks!

ISSUE: Skyrim crashes, with memory errors in the debug log, when the texture setting is set to "high".
WORKING SOLUTION:
Use ENBoost to improve memory management and game stability. Note that ENB can be used /without/ graphical tweaks (that's what ENBoost refers to). Also note that with ENBoost installed, the game will stay on a black screen for a minute or so on start-up - that's normal.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

• wiki.step-project.com/ENBoost
• www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/wiki/enb
---
ISSUE: ENB / ENBoost doesn't work. You can tell by the fact that no in-game message appears on start-up.
WORKING SOLUTION:
Open up the Winecfg configuration tool, go to the "Libraries" tab, and add a new override for "d3d9". Set its load order to native first, then built-in.
---
ISSUE: Skyrim freezes and unfocuses when the Alt key is pressed.
WORKING SOLUTION:
Open up the Winecfg configuration tool, go to the "Libraries" tab, and add a new override for "gameoverlayrenderer". Set its load order to disabled. Note that this will also disable the in-game Steam overlay. I suggest that you only do this if you actually encounter the issue.

ISSUE: Crackling distorted audio (bug #28282).
WHAT DIDN'T WORK (for me):
• "Possible fix 0" listed above - Running "while true; do pasuspender sleep 0.02; sleep 60; done" in a terminal.
• "Possible fix 2" listed above - Setting the HKCU\Software\Wine\DirectSound\SndQueueMax registry key to 15. This key seems to be removed in current versions of Wine and does nothing.
• Running ("killall pulseaudio") before playing. Ubuntu seems to auto-restart this, so maybe that's why? I didn't investigate further.
• Editing "/etc/pulse/daemon.conf" and increasing the "default-fragments" setting, then restarting pulseaudio.
WORKING SOLUTION:
Simply set the "export PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60" environment variable before playing.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
It works like magic! If using PlayOnLinux, just editing the shortcut script to add this line works fine. Thanks to Deve for this solution: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28282#c54
(Apparently using Windows XP mode also solves this problem - I found this out later on. I believe this is because Wine uses a different sound system for XP.)
---
ISSUE: Extremely long start-up time.
WORKING SOLUTION:
Install Skyrim directly to the Linux drive.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I was previously running Skyrim directly from my Windows NTFS drive (with the steamapps folder symlinked). It appears that this was the cause of the issue. Installing Skyrim directly to my Linux drive solved the problem. If it was NTFS that was making it take so long, then perhaps using a shared drive with a different file system could also resolve the issue? I didn't investigate further.
---
ISSUE: Gallium Nine not working (using a patched version of Wine).
WORKING SOLUTION:
Uninstall any ENB mods.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This was caused by an ENB mod I had installed. After some investigation, it seems that the ENB mod apparently uses DirectX 10 or 11 features, whereas Gallium Nine obviously provides only DirectX 9 functionality. It seems that it was getting disabled as a result. Uninstalling the ENB mod resolved this issue.
---
ISSUE: Running in fullscreen mode and then switching focus to another window causes the game to freeze.
WORKING SOLUTION:
Play in a borderless "fake fullscreen" window instead.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The Skyrim mod "OneTweak" works well for this. You can find the mod here: www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40706 Thanks to Danny for this solution: appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24749#Comment-96091

I've tried changing my Wine versions, making sure I'm using 32 bit architecture, updating my NVIDIA drivers, moving my /home mounting point to my HDD (I boot from a SSD and thought maybe some difference in how memory is accessed might have something to do with it), everything. And I've looked all over the web, and nobody else has this specific problem (though I'll be honest, trying to search for "skyrim freezes while rolling" mainly yields irrelevant results including the phrase "roll back to a previous save". which I have also done, and which did not help). What might be going on here? And what should I try next?

I've been trying to get Skyrim from Steam working using PlayOnLinux but I've run into a problem. When I click play on the Skyrim Launcher after installing the game, it launches the game and I can hear the sound of the Bethesda logo and the main menu music (even the noise of different menu options getting highlighted when I move the arrow keys) BUT there's no video shown with it--it's just a black screen.
Any ideas about what's wrong? I've scoured the internet for the past two days but I've had no luck. My guess is that it has something to do with video libraries not present, but I'm not sure what.
I'm running Arch Linux 64bit and I've tried using Wine versions 1.7.36, 1.7.53-steam_crossoverhack, 1.8, and 1.9.2 in POL. Thanks.
by Jonas Jelten on Monday February 1st 2016, 6:25
Just create a fresh prefix with export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-skyrim, then install steam, in steam, install skyrim, click launch and voila it should work.
PlayOnLinux helps in many cases but everything it does can be done manually. And for Skyrim, there's nothing to do in my experience, as steam installs DirectX and does other setup.

I disabled mouse acceleration and vsync(I know I shouldn't) to see if it would make a difference, but it didn't.

I used to run Skyrim in wine on an old Radeon card since the game was released. It was always buggy, but kept getting better more or less as new versions of wine came out, up until around 2012 some time I think.
Then a wine version was released that completely destroyed the performance of the game on Radeon cards, and subsequent releases kept getting worse. I haven't been able to play it on wine since, because the performance makes Skyrim unplayable, and the issue was never resolved.
I seem to be able to run other wine compatible games fine. The issue seems to be more or less specific to Skyrim.
by Reinhard on Thursday January 21st 2016, 15:08
by Damon on Thursday January 21st 2016, 15:20
What Radeon card are you using, and which version of wine is it?
I noticed that the Playonlinux installer for Skyrim failed on my PC, and that it was using a version of wine without wine-mono.
From memory Skyrim started getting slow for me around the same time Wine mono was added by default in Playonlinux. So I wonder if that's related.
by Damon on Friday January 22nd 2016, 10:33
The wine version it's using from the playonlinux installer is 1.7.36. But I noticed when I changed back to wine 1.9.1, it works the just as well, and also the sound glytch I was having is gone in version 1.9.1.
Playonlinux has also put in Dll overides are dwrite (disabled), and gameoverlayrenderer (disabled), and also installed C++ 2008, and Wine Mono.
Skyrim runs a lot better in full screen than windowed mode for me.

Anyone else seen this with hybrid graphics and Skyrim?
by Sean Young on Sunday January 24th 2016, 17:26
Skyrim's VRAM management is known to be pretty bad, and apparently, with hybrid graphics in wine, it is even worse than usual.
I worked around this by setting textures quality to Medium (and making sure to get 1k textures whenever I could in mods), which significantly extends how long until textures start going missing and the game soon crashes afterwards, from tens of minutes to hours.
Yea, the textures looks terrible at this level, but rather that than a completely broken textures.
by Danny on Sunday December 20th 2015, 21:58

Note that it requires the Skyrim Script Extender, which you can install manually or via steam.

On Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/365720/

Actually, I couldn't get it working until I did a forced reinstall of xact.
winetricks --force xact
by Erwan on Sunday April 15th 2018, 10:27
by Storm Engineer on Tuesday October 27th 2015, 19:34
I have:
- verified game cache
- updated and rebooted my system
- reinstalled everything with winetricks that was installed before
- installed xact via winetricks
- reinstalled DirectX from game's directory
- removed intro video file
- toggled Wine from XP mode to Win 7 mode
- made sure Wine uses pulseaudio
- made sure speakers in Wine are set to stereo and not 5.1
None of these made a difference.
See more details at my bug ticket: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39517
by Storm Engineer on Wednesday October 28th 2015, 20:26
1; Install xact via winetricks
2; In winecfg, set a Native override for xaudio2_6

A simple workaround to this is to rebind the Walk/Run toggle to another key. In my case I've set it to the letter X and the movement issues are gone for good.

I didn't do intensive testing yet but it looks like this also makes the game more stable. I had no freezes yet within several hours of gameplay while without this setting as soon as the crackling starts the game would freeze every other hour or so...

The mod was last seen at www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14007/?, however, the Nexus has been known to change their URLs regularly (to the point of changing domain names several times), so when this link finally goes defunct, just search "Green Water Fix" on the Skyrim Nexus.

It is not possible to install vcredist_x86 2013 when you use have a "Win7" prefix. I have tested this myself and even under native Ubuntu I cannot access the files ("Access Denied". This is an ACL issue (the files are in C:\users\Public\Application Data\Package Cache\
So Bodyslide2 mod cannot right now not be used with Wine.
The issue is known since years, there even exist a patch but up to now it was not applied unfortunately.
bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33576
Also the patch requires that you have your Skyrim on an Ext4 partition or it won't work.
So apart from applying the patch (I don't know if it still working with the "current" wine) on wine sources, I see the following workarounds:
1) Use cabextract to extract the vcredist_x86 and copy the two DLL manually to windows/system32
2) Try to change to "WinXP" and test if it is working (I suspect that 2013 in this case cannot be installed).
The best thing would be if BodySlide2 mod would include these two DLL or provide a method to install them without requiring ACL (I don't know if it is possible, however another Game's Launcher from a Game that I bought, was able to install VS2012 in the System32 folder. The vcredist_x86 from 2012 apparently has the same problem as I have read in the thread where the patch was mentioned. The difference is on my side that this is a WinXP prefix compared to my Skyrim prefix).
by Tim Van den Langenbergh on Sunday August 31st 2014, 14:08
It might be my system, as I get a number of error messages saying that radeon failed to locate buffers and GL OUT OF MEMORY errors.
by Reinhard on Saturday January 3rd 2015, 11:40
For one I recommend to use SKSE 1.7.1 that with proper settings can change the way VRAM is assigned.
Also there is HiAlgoBoost that moves quite some work away from your GFX board to the CPU if that is your issue (i.e. you either have < 1 GB of GPU RAM or a low cost GPU). You did not state anything about your Hardware.
Finally and alternatively you could use ENBoost (fixing Skyrim issues but does not actually activate the ENB):
wiki.step-project.com/ENBoost
Also you can improve graphical load on your machine by installing the Ultimate Lightning Overhaul (ULO). (There is a "Plus" ULO variant that requires ENB but it is still better in terms of quality compared to even best performance ENB like reallike - I would recommended it if you use ENBoost).

* lock-picking causes character to have jerky walk/run animation. Workaround: Toggle the caps-lock key, and try moving again. Repeat until it resets itself. Doesn't take many tries.
* The 'F' key isn't being recognised when trying to favourite spells/equipment. Workaround: The 'escape' key seems to do this toggling of favourites on/off instead.

Used to have pulseaudio installed and sound works, but pa was a hassle with other software on both my mic and output so i uninstalled it, but now it seems like skyrims sound does not work anymore.

in a terminal I pasted this line: wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam' /v DWriteEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000
and pressed enter. If Skyrim is not in the default wineprefix you will need to edit the registry by hand.
This has worked for me with both pulse and alsa drivers.I have also placed a copy of X3DAudio1_7.dll in my system 32 directory and have run directX from the game folder. I don't have to use any .dll overrides.

One thing that breaks audio is the lack of working xact:
winetricks --force xact
You need --force if you installed with Steam (maybe other methods) because the installer for xact will have run and set registry entries (making winetricks think it shouldn't reinstall it).

This is a very old Skyrim bug that occurs on any platform.
A solution for this is this mod:

The game was working well for me after playing with many settings until I could not open character menu. When trying to change the key from tab to something else no matter what key I hit the set key would be 0x45. I reset my computer and when I tried to change a key again, the result would always be CAPS.
