Black Screen When Entering Door
So, I haven't played Skyrim for maybe a week or so. But I wanted to go back today. Yet, when I loaded up my save and went through a door, my screen just stays black. I hear the door open and everything, there are all the sounds like I'd gone through the door, but my screen just stays black. I even used the coc command, which worked fine and everything was normal, but entering a door caused the problem again. I had never had this problem before on this save, and I've played for over a hundred hours on it. My screen had always stayed black for a second or two after the door opening sound happened, but it always just went back to normal after a couple of seconds.

Here is a video of what I'm talking about: https://imgur.com/gallery/UAkLTUa

EDIT: Well, I fixed it. So for anyone who may have this problem in the future, here is what fixed it for me: Simply delete autosaves. It seems that I just had way too many autosaves so my game physically couldn't save. So I deleted them all and added a max limit by adding iAutoSaveCount=3 to the [save game] category in the SkyrimPrefs folder.

EDIT2: Make sure to also disable autosave on travel. Apparently, that was messing some things up still.

OP: Try doing a game file integrity verification through Steam. It sounds like you may have missing or corrupted game files.

I did try that already and everything seemed fine. Even started a new game and it worked just fine, so It's not a mod combination problem I don't think. I just really don't want to start over because I've sunk hours into this playthrough.

Awesome thanks for adding the fix. This worked for me in 2024 👍🏻
