Lost to the ages freeze. Got a workaround?

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 5:06 am

At the end of the quest just before I reach the last door before the forge, the game ALWAYS freeze. I tried, obviously, reloading, I tried leaving and re-entering the dungon. What else could I try? Anyone else encoutered that problem?

Did you try turning off the autosave options? I think mine managed somehow to do an autosave at that point anyway, even with all the autosave options off, but it is always worth a try.

Humm... Since it usually take a couples of minutes to save my game I might have tought wrongly the game was freezing. I remeber having an autosave before fighting alduin at the top of the the mountain in spite of having all autosave options turned off. It is possible that what I tought was a freeze is actually an autosave. I'll try to let it go for a couple of minutes next time. Thanks for the heads up even if it makes me feel a bit stupid of not having tought about it LOL

Well that was an autosave. So if anyone else have the same problem, just be patient. Oh. And note to developpers. Considering the time saving a game can take for someone who played 400 hours the game should state it autosave BEFORE doing it, not after ;)

My character had a lot more than 400hrs, you could have made a cup of coffee in the time it took him to get through that door, I remember looking at the door and thinking that was as far as I was going for the night. When I saw the autosave I was thinking dire thoughts about developers who insist on autosaving at some points. I had not saved for ages and it could have so easily froze there. I just could not remember where it froze, but I remember it was just before the forge.
