Magic screen freeze

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 12:44 am

Whenever I try to go into my Magic menu the entire game freezes and I have to reset my xbox. So far I haven't found a way to make it work again... Of course I haven't made my own save in a while so the autosave has the bug.

It started right after I killed my second dragon outside of Deadman's Respite. Right after killing the dragon I walked up to DR to discover it. I was trying to go into the magic screen right when it autosaved and then froze. The save is fine and plays but has that freeze bug whenever I go into the magic screen.

Anyone know a way to make it stop freezing? It is a real PITA when I have to reset the xbox and then reload Skyrim.. The whole process to get back to playing takes like 5 minutes.. Way too long to try to find ways around it.

I'm on the PS3 and have the magic menu freeze also. It didn't start until I killed a Dragon at the College. Prior to seeing the Grey Beards I picked up Kyne's Peace shout but obviously could not use it yet.

...many hours later I arrive at the mage college, but during that journey I encountered two dragons but I ran away with my tail between my legs.
I go through the college walkthrough and the class, and then I bought a fireball spell, read the book and went to the magic menu to favorite the spell.
I head outside to the courtyard and hear a Dragon. With the help of the mages and some pillars to hide behind we kill it.

I then wander around the college a bit more and then I remember I have that Kyne's shout. I attempt to go to the magic menu and the game hard-locks.

I have a save of when I first got to the college... let's see if this thing replicates itself.
