Boxes instead of letters in main menu.
Hello everyone. I have met with the individual problem. When I start my game by clicking Play on steam, everything it's works. But opening skyrim in Mod Organizer cause this problem http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=502773771
Can anybody help me? Each time i do this I can't move into options, can't start the game.
I've tried switching to 1920x1080 - didn't work (my default is 2560x1080). Installed SKSE - didn't work, installed Mod organizer to another place in dysk - didn't work. By this way I have Windows 10, earlier i have played on 8.1 without any problems. Moreover I have not installed any more mods.

My spec:
i5-4670K
ASUS GTX 970 Strix OC
16gb RAM 1600mhz

It might be your computer, restarting your computer might help fix it like most skyrim starting-up glitches. Or maybe try backing up your files. When my Skyrim fails to load or crashes to desktop restarting my computer works for me the best. If restarting doesn't work go to library > Right click on skyrim then go to properites > Local Files > Verify Game Cache.

Uhm, I've verifying game cache but it doesnt work too, restarting also. It's only happens when i open skyrim through MO

That's a missing fonts issue. Whatever font the game is trying to use doesn't actually exist in your files. The fact it only happens via MO tells me its from a mod.
Open MO, go to the Data tab on the right pane, open the interface folder, and look at what mod is editing "fontconfig.txt"

Okay, so I found the solution.

Files from Data folder like animation.bsa were unchecked, every single one of them, so this was a reason for not loading files (really stupid mistake). Thanks for your effort.

What have I meant by unchecked was that all files from Data folder needed for the base game were not selected to be loaded when the game launches
