Is there a file that can help with my game of Skyrim?

very top of the forum on left-hand side > Gamecopyworld has a ton of no-cd cracks etc. You can copy the files from steam\steamapps\common folder\skyrim to a separate folder on HD ( just the skyrim folder + subfolders ) and then use a no-cd from gamecopyworld that matches your game version.

Make sure steam is not running, apply the no-cd to the copy of the game. make sure to follow the instructions with the no-cd to apply whatever the 'fix' is, to get it to run without steam and at least allow you to play the game.

good luck, its a royal pain that you cant play a game you've purchased & support doesn't help at all. And the fact you have to resort to a 'crack' to play a legally purchased game.

Isn't it possible that you have some problems/limitations with your local network and/or Internet connection and the reason for the Steam client eating up so much CPU is that it is trying to do something again and again and again and again but always failing?

To me the steam software looks like a mem leak sucking more mem than needs . Thinking from excesive processor cycles and lack of Ram could be but asumming he already closed unneed junk then that maybe is not either.

Have you tried updating the Steam client???

And maybe you should also check the CPU/sensors temp. When the heats gets high (usually 70 Celsius or more)] the pc start to get slow and freeze even with the most basic things. If so clean the dust with compressed air or similar . Most important are the processor fans and the powersupply one..

That is a free soft that could help to monitor you fans.

Good Luck
