I found it more stable. Almost 20 mins before the first CTD.
I formatted my boot drive last night and reinstalled Windows 7 fresh to try and alleviate my CTD problems. Steam of course patched Skyrim but I used my old exe files that I backed up. Long story short, the fresh install of windows didn't do me any good at all. I know it's only a game, but I really wanted to keep playing. I've been losing interest in gaming in little bits over time, but now I'm just really sad and frustrated. I don't think I feel like starting over, hopefully that will change...
I figured it wouldn't. Your Windows install wasn't and isn't the problem.
I hope you didn't take down patch 1.2. It's got new issues of its own.
Well, the patch only updated two or three files. I removed the exe for version 1.2 and dropped my old one back in. I'm not a noob at stuff like this, but I really don't know what to do. I built this nice computer and it's hobbled at nearly every turn, either with DRM from games or by lousy patches like this one. Steam is at the center of it all in most cases.
It sounds whiny but at the moment I'm unemployed and life isn't so great, and Skyrim was a nice distraction while it lasted. It's too irritating to deal with at this point. Could it be my overclock? No other game in recent memory went tits up like Skyrim while I was overclocked. I have an intel i5-2500k gently overclocked to 4400 mhz. I'm using the Corsair H100 for a cooler. *shrugs*
just played a bit with the new patch...the biggest change I noticed was that the 'Esc' key now automatically takes over from the 'Tab' key...I had gotten used to the Tab function but now I have to readjust to using the 'Esc' key...game doesn't even give you the option of remapping it...should have been 'Esc' from the beginning but it's annoying to have to readjust after 75+ hours
As far as 1.2, I have to admit I was nervous it would break - I have a bunch of graphical mods (detailed faces, no blocky faces, high res eyes, high res furniture, high res water, and other stuff) and play with ugridstoload at 9, and surprisingly I didn't have any major issues. Game froze for about 5 seconds a while after I came out of riftend, but then resumed playing ok. Will have to do more testing later, but seems ok.

I just want to find this game's version of the Mudcrab Merchant. I need someone with more than 1k gold!
Ok, I downloaded a save file from the nexus a few days ago when experimenting. I just copied the saves back into my current save folder and gave two of them a try. The starting save at the execution block tells me that it's looking for content that isn't present. It didn't do that to me yesterday, and I'm using all the plugins and dll files I had then. The other thing is, the next save file that I made myself on my old windows install which is in Helgen Keep doesn't say there's content missing, but trying to load it results in an immediate CTD with no log file evidence. Just crashes.
EDIT: Yeah, it looks like any saved game I downloaded off the nexus with no major mod requirements will load. Anything I made on my own hard drive with the same setup mod-wise immediately crashes. FML.
I do notice that when I quicksave that the screen sometimes flashes for a quick nanosecond which didn't happen before
And you are getting the same problems on new play throughs? Or only if you reload your initial character?
Hi, how do use shouts om this game? i got the first one and when i select it from the inventory, it doesnt apply it and therefore cant use it? i notice that when its highlighted from the inventory menu, at the bottom right hand corner it says 0 dragon souls? what does this mean? do i need to get dragon souls? if so, how? i need to use the shout on a quest where i got to use and demonstrate this shout ability to someone from High Hrothgar.
the shout ability is called unrelenting force.
isn't there a perk for lock picks not to break? So you can just get that perk and not even have to level up lock picking the rest of the way...
I think that is the last perk in the tree or something ridiculous.
Honestly, unless you are gifting yourself skill points, it would be foolish to spend any perks on Lockpicking. You can pick any lock you want at a skill of 10, perks just make it more efficient and quicker. I would much rather spend my points on something that has a combat effect or something than to just save time lockpicking. I just try to buy lockpicks whenever I see them, and I always end up with 100+ on hand. Sometimes master locks can be a PITA, but I always unlock them.
Is the first rank greyed out? You have to have killed a dragon in order to get the first rank of this, and the sould captured from the dragon unlocks it. You use it by pressing whatever button is associated with "Powers".
yea pressing Z worked.Another question. Where can I find a link to where all the merchants are? Got a ton of stuff to sell like mage armours.
Also, where is a good abandon place where i can stash lots of gear without it being stolen?
