Assuming you live in the US, that means you payed $60 (plus tax) for 100 hours on entertainment. That means you payed ~63 cents per hour of fun. If you think about it, that's already really cheap entertainment. A movie would be like $6 an hour. Going to a water park would be like $4/hr. Eating at a restaurant with some friends would be like $9/hr. These are all just estimates but it perfectly illustrates my point.

Don't waste your time with mods,removing them won't fix the issue.

I am from Europe.Hey there Yanks.I could have done something more productive with my time.It's 50 euros,and it ain't the money,it's the matter of principles.I don't play video games that often,but when I do I want to enjoy the experience not sob in agony.

68hrs and all I have is a floating weapons/armor issue out in the wild. The only crash I get is when trying to enter Bonechill passage.

Wait 'till you get to 100+.It's gonna be G?tterd?mmerung.

All of us svckers that got the PC version on 11.11.11 are really the unpaid QA team for the GOTY edition. Hurrah for paying to beta!

If your $200,000 house burns down after 30 years, I hope someone's around to tell you that you shouldn't be sad because it was only 76 cents an hour.

We know that?We just did not want to believe that "Betty" treats PC players like donkeys.

I think you're using a different metric for value than most here would agree with. Don't tell the producers, but I happen to think $60 for a TES game is far less than what it's worth. But that's assuming I can play the entire thing, see all the points of interest, get all the unique artifacts, complete all the quests and develop a complete story and life around a single character. At 70-100 hours I'm only just getting started!

I think I'm not alone here, but I'm paying for a complete experience; a whole world that I can interact with and live in. It's not about how much each hour costs but it's about how much of that world can I get before the game stops working, and 100 hours is NOT enough. Not even close.

I can add one more confirmation that Skyrim4gb does not (at least not in all cases) solve the "sudden death" CTDs. I actually played for awhile before they started happening, maybe 12 hours worth, but once they started, they tend to happen after 5-15 minutes of play. I'm using the current (V1.3) version of Skyrim4gb, but I'm still getting the CTDs, at more or less the same rate as before. I can live with it - I just do regular F5s - but it *is* really rattling in the way that it happens... I'm cruising across the countryside, then BLINK and I'm looking at my Windows desktop. No error messages, no nothing. How wierd...

My system:
Windows 7 64-bit
AMD quad-core Phenom II X4 (not overclocked)
8GB RAM, 4.8GB free before starting the program
plenty of disk
GPU: Nvidia GTX 460, current drivers

I haven't tried modifying the sound-card settings yet, but I *think* I've already read that others have tried that and still have this CTD issue.

And if you happen to have not completed the game?
I know I'm not the only one who has not completed the main quest yet.

Great game, but code is messed up for pc.

My game wasn't broken until I let it update today, now it crashes every minute.

Bethesda are indeed complete f**king idiots...

EDIT:
Just updated my ATI drivers to 11.11a, and now it crashes within 10 seconds of starting the game.

Excellent.

LMAO! Hahahahaha!

Very very nice! Good point there!

170 hours and only a few broken quests plus glowing nirnroots, but thats all the issues i have

Kinda feel like im done with skyrim now, ill check back on it at a later time when some good mods comes out and these quests are patched later on.

Game was a pleasure to play all the way.

You lie,I don't believe you.You play on XBOX 360,and you mock us.

Why should he have to? It's not an official fix, why should any third party fix be necessary when there's a developer that should be supporting their product?

Am I the only one not having problems? Skyrim has caused my laptop screen to malfunction a couple of times, but that's it.

Watch for it your laptop may be doomed.Those screen malfunctions sound like an omen of end times.I'm not BS-ing you.

But that's a means of living and shelter, not entertainment, so it could only be compared as such. I'm saying compared to other forms of entertainment, Skyrim is very cheap. $200,000 is alot for a house (depending on where you live). So it's more like if you live in a $10,000 house for 30 year then it burns down, you can say, "At least it was only $10,000."

Besides which, as I previously commented, I *have* tried the Skyrim4gb fix; I'm running on Win7/64 (previously but incorrectly rumored to fix the CTD problem), and this mod is *also* previously but incorrectly rumored to fix the CTD problem. I still have them, at roughly the same rate as I had them without it.

I'm playing on a PC that would fit in the low-low end of high end gaming systems. Or maybe upper middle range. This game has only crashed twice for me (that wasn't the result of me alt tabbing a lot) in 71 hours of play.

I played the completely unmodified version for roughly the first half of that. One crash in that time. The second half, with the Large Address Aware flag set and a performance DLL file (which surprisingly helped performance quite a bit without any noticeable loss of quality) and one crash since then. First one was when I looted some Salt from a barrel and the second when I quicksaved. Quicksave functioned normally even then.

I only have the 4GB on now, I deleted the ENB and the game ran well today. No problems. Loading in some areas is still slow butno crashes or problems like I had. So maybe those two are conflicting as someone else suggested. So run one or the other maybe but not both.

I am running with several texture mods like the trees, blood, blocky faces, armor enhancement stuff. So a bit more texture. I lowered my preferences down slightly, was runing at almost Ultra, but put stuff on 'HIGH' and then took off the anti aliasing and antistropic to 2 each. So it is graphically less than what I could run pre patch but at least I can play.

I still think there are massive leaks in places and those will eventually have to be fixed for real by the developer. But it is playable for me right now.

I gues people will have to fool around with ther own set ups to see whatthey have to do to make it run. but then again I have tweaked and fooled with it before only to have it start to get really bad again. So nothing is for sure I guess.

Well I had to go back to my 41 hour save, that's over 30 hours lost, I tested each save going backward, all crashed the game or froze it, now I'm apprehensive while playing, will it screw up again and when

you know whats awesome about this post? the face that this is the exact amount per hour including leap year calculations.

Though what is even cooler is that i ran the math to make sure you are right
