FPS issues after 30 hours wo issue

Post » Sun Jul 29, 2012 1:12 pm

Hey all, new to the forums and Skyrim

I ran a few searches for my issue but most people are having FPS issues from day 1 or random lag issues. Google yields much of the same result, most people just having issues right from the get-go.

MY problem is thus; Work has slowed down over the summer so I finally got around to buying Skyrim this week. I bought and installed the game Monday using Steam and had no issues whatsoever. I've been playing on High settings the whole time with nary a glitch. then tonight I launch the game, and the first thing I notice is that the loading screen is painfully slow. Slow as in I had time to run to the bathroom and come back and it was still loading, whereas it had previously only taken 10-15 seconds to load.

Finally, when I get to the game, it is running horrendously slow. I started up FRAPS and I'm getting 13-14 on low settings, 8 on medium and 5 on high. This is particularly aggravating because now I'm getting less FPS on low than I had been getting on high for the past week.

I have the latest patch installed, and all of my drivers are up to date.

so far, I've done everything on the following page:

Has anyone else had any issues with this? The game is somewhat playable on low settings, but seems a bit of a waste, like I said, I had been playing on high without issue until this happened.

here's are my specs in case you were wondering:

Windows 7
Intel Core i7 Q720 @ 1.70 Ghz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M
6GB RAM

Need some more info, DXDiag, mod list and possibly your Skyrim.ini
Also what is your save file size currently?
