- frequent freezing (only every 10 - 15 minutes if I avoid the following)
Freezing caused by:
Armor--
-Equipping/buying/selling ebony armor. opening chests with an ebony armor drop, scrolling over the WORD "ebony armor" in inventory, or attempting to remove it from Whiterun home storage (does not include ebony gauntlets, boots, daggers, & swords).
- Once I deposited my, thieves & shrouded brotherhood gear into my Whiterun home downstairs cupboard, if I scroll over the items in inventory, it freezes. I returned to the guilds a picked up the spare armor laying around. I keep the news sets on me so as no to lose them again. Scrolling over the shrouded set freezes the screen periodically.
Locations--
- Discovering caves or shacks.
- Opening the door to Ochendor during the "the only cure ", could not complete.
- Looting the chest after killing "The Caller" during the "Hitting The Books" quest (works of I leave the helmet on the bookshelf and the armor in the chest)
- Saarthal: fast traveled, fought a yeti outside of saarhal, once defeated it fell through the ground then the game froze (only started in this area after the college quests were started)
- Using the anvil in the Pale Imperial Camp
- Walking from Pale Imperial camp to shipwreck north of the camp if I stray from the "preformed" dirt path)
- any attempt to reach the "dead man's respite" for the "tending the flames" quest. Could possibly be caused by nearing shacks nearby.
- some destinations can be reached only after freezing upon initial attempt (the sundered towers, yngol barrows, the pale imperial camp, Saarthal)
- opening the chest in Snow Veil Sanctum during the "speaking with silence" quest (2/14)
NPC--
- attempting to sell to the blacksmith in solitude
Cannot fast travel or walk to: as of 2/9/12 patch
- Saarthal
- Winterhold
- dead man's respite
- Folgunthur, cannot complete "forbidden legend"
As of 2/16:
- fast traveling to the thieves guild and riften (stable exempt) once inside Riften via the stables, if I enter a building and attempt to exit the game immediately freezes.
- rift imperial camp cannot complete "regain the rift".
- "Boethiah's Calling": during this quest I had Barabas as a follower. once I get to the 5th part (slaying the other cultists) he was turned against me. Being that he is immortal, I was unable to complete the quest. I will of course send him away and then complete the quest. Not sure if that is a bug, but I thought it odd an immortal follower would be turned.
- opening the chest on top of the "Rift Watchtower".
- opening the door to "Treva's Watch". cannot complete "Striking the Heart".
- "Missing In Action": after fast traveling from Rimerock Burrow and walking north to complete the quest, I consistently freeze before I can discover the new location.
- the chest next to wall in which you learn the word dismay: fear. Which was fund during the "pieces of the past" at "Dead Crone Rock".
- upon entering "Cracked Tusk Keep", cannot complete "Pieces of the Past" quest.
- upon arriving at "Knifepoint Ridge" cannot complete "Boethiah's Calling".
- looting Safia after killing her for the Dark Brotherhood
- trying to sell "worn shrouded Armor/legs/hands/etc." which I believe I picked up during my quest to kill Cicero
- attempting to enter the "Sleeping Giant Inn" in Riverwood starts an endess smokey loading screen (waiting over 40 minutes). Cannot complete the " Diplomatic Immunity" quest.
- "To kill an Empire" After killing the Emperor's decoy, I was unable to fast travel because "guards were chasing me" even though I had kill both the guards near the kill and Maro's guards outside. I was still unable to fast travel even after I had run a large distance away. Any attempt to walk the entire way consistently causes freezing. Both wheni cut my own path though the wildnerness and when I follow the roads. Unable to complete quest.
- entering hag's end
3/3
When I attempted to start a new game on an entirely different console, it literally froze 3 times just in the beggining prisoner sequence.
From the start of the game, it has frozen 14 times before I could reach Whiterun for the first time. Honestly at this point I'm frustrated that I've wasted so much money on a game that I CANNOT PLAY! I'm done playin until Bethesada fixes these BASIC issues. I have never ever had such an issue with freezing before. It's ridiculous.
