Ok good news sorta..a guy on gamefaqs has a thread titled [texture problem a explanation].
Lol but im using my phone so i cannot copy and paste maybe sum1 else will?

Anywho apparently he identified the problem some bout caches, hard drive, still loading hard drive stress and other stuff im not hi tech and [he found a way to fix it as well.]

Can anyone here simplify wat he is saying??

This is a fail troll post, or the OP is just a fool.

Just found only ONE thread about this on google/yahoo. The guy who had the early version of the game says that it is only a 3.2gb download, then he posts screenshots of the differences. Considering it is a 5.5gb install on the 360, this is a complete joke and no one should listen to this.

Explanation:
The Xbox 360 caches its bsa files and esm to disk (your HDD) to its two cache folders mounted on your HDD (cache, and cache0), this includes the textures. When loading textures the quality depends on how fast you can load it, that way you can play the game without lag. In the case of running the game from the HDD you are not only loading the game from it but you are caching and reloading from it, which puts stress on the HDD thus slower loading times and lower quality textures. When loading off of the USB depending on how you are loading it this can be the same case. In my case it wasn't because it was just a FAT32 formatted USB with the files running off like a disk would, unlike a disc install which has to load off of the preparatory file format that Microsoft invented. If loading the way I did, all the HDD was needed for was savegames and cache, so there is less stress on the HDD and better textures loaded.

Quoting that guy from gamefaqs



Makes sense, i guess, but i dunno. Big question is how the hell Bethesda missed that problem.

Sounds complicated but I think I understood it though. It sounds similar to what New Vegas had, it dealt with something similar with caches and you had to deal with that every 3 hours. I don't think Skyrim is going to see a lag after 3 hours but it does sound similar. I blame all of this on Softworks notoriously bad debugging, they are really bad at it, although they are doing it right this time by getting a day one patch. I do agree though I can't believe they missed this one.

Ok here's how to fix it:
Go to console seetings and go to memory.
Then when HDD is on screen press Y and go to ''clear system catche''.
That should fix it and i also noticed that my console works 2x faster on dashboard now
Dunno how much u can play before repeating but i guess u can do it every time before starting your game.

Doesn't that affect DLC and Patches that you have downloaded.

You mean that's what they come up with for a fix? I do that all the time anyway. If a game starts to lag and have problems. I just dump the cache and keep going. Been doing that for almost 2 years now.

No as far as i can tell, all of my saves and data are still on HDD...

No i am pretty sure that ppl keep reporting that from disc textures are a lot better...
Internet is in uproar about it atm...

Well it turns out not many ppl (including me) knew about that...

You have to re-download any patches for a game after doing it.

I thought that was the case, I now remember hearing talk about that when Fallout New Vegas came out. I'll just have to wait and see, that's basically all I can do at this point.
