Now the game crashes every 1-2 minutes.At first it was all show and all go,now it's no show and no go(worked perfect for 70 hours,now it crashes every time).
Look Bethesda I am not angry because of the 50 euros that I paid for this game,hell it wasn't the first time I wasted "MY" money on video games...Darn it I can't even be angry at you Beth...May I call you Beth?

I'm in stupor.

mind if i ask you what your pc is like? specs etc

have you checked all saves, and tried starting a new game? Using any mods or unofficial patches?

It doesn't matter I have recommended specs,and the game worked fine(not even the "city slowdowns").Now I give up.I'm uninstalling Steam tomorrow.It was that stealth "patch" that dropped laser guided bomb on my SAM bunker and ruined everything(metaphor).I was planing on buying a new rig,but now I've lost all faith in PC gaming.

I'M OFF TO THE GYM TO GET SOME WORK DONE !

I've started a new game two days ago,and the game worked fine.It was first Jorrvaskr CTD(As the Whiterun level/map loads).Now as I approach Riften game CTD's.
100 hours of my life is lost forever.

so you lost all hope in PC gaming , concidering you had your hopes up for a bethesda game, a TES game? right ....
well close the door behind you if you will then, dont let the drag in

i had a similar issue with ctd around riften what i did was changed the audio playback to 24 bit 44100khz in windows and it did resolve my issue

but now i face another issue... that i got 1 save at the in where u talk to karliah and she gives me the nightngale blade and im supposed to meet her at the thieves guild but to no avail shes not there,

i do placeatme in console but that dont resolve that issue i do a moveto and shes back in snowveil temple where we first met i dunno i can not go any further in the theives guild quest where they open the vault
or im missing somthing to trigger the quest

70 hours of entertainment? Totally wasted money!

Not defending the bugs and all but cmon.

There appears to be a recurring theme here, mostly to do with how long played, I'm over 70 hours and now keep getting CTD almost instantly when trying to load a save, if I go back to anything before 40 hours it works, but I'm not losing that much damn progess because Beth can't get the bugs ironed out!

Why doesn't anyone even try the skyrim4gb Launcher?

jebus......... people having CTDs and they don't want to even try something at all to try and resolve it themselves (even though i agree we shouldn't NEED to do it ourselves, but hey... short of calling in a sniper to scare the [censored] out of some of the developers into doing something... what can you do?)

Im at 79 hours, only thing ive noticed is the save game files screen is very slow and unresponsive, havent had increased crashes myself, I dont think they can ever patch fixes for all these specific problems.

I am using it, and the unnoficial ENBSeries patch, nothing Fing works!, over 70 hours in and suddenly I can't load my save game!!

maybe try the defrag/verify? Maybe some trash has accumulated through prolonged use

...including Skyrim.

Verified and no problems shown, I had better luck fixing FO:NV and that was a buggy POS.

So you are using a "unnoficial patch with a 3rd party 4GB + dll workaround and you wonder why? LOL . Sorry it just seems so obvious, maybe try unchecking the ENB patch? I have been using the 1.3 version of the 4GB workaround and it is flawless, played for 7 hours straight last night without a hiccup, I then installed the ENB patch this morning and crashed on the first chest I clicked on......They don't seem to liek each other.

Well the only thing left to do is describe to problem and send your dxdiag, im sure they will know if its anything to do with playing 70+ hours, seems strange but I know nothing of programming so anything could be true.

Youve probably done that already though I assume

You know, before I come on the boards asking for help, I try out many combinations of setup, I check my own computer for faults, the game crashes whether I'm using third party or not!

From the enb homepage"

Restore original exe and apply LAA? It's the only thing that works for me...at least until Bethesda releases a new patch to resolve the LAA issue.

70 hours and size of saves, I think that is getting to be the common denominator for a lot of people. The size of the saves gets bigger and they start not wanting to load. A common issues with modded games usually due to memory leaks somewhere. Not that mods cause them, but generally speaking games that are as wide open as TES games are have massive memory leaks and cause these sorts of issues. Anyone that has played modded versions of Civs or older TES games can attest to those sort of problems, after X amount of turns, or x amount of hours the games become totally unplayable and most of the time will never load.

Obviously the game shouldnt have any leaks, a fresh unmodded 'out of the box version', but I would say it has them. Having mods and other toys added in just speeds up when it over taxes itself.

I have tried every trick in the book, overclcking, underclocking, low res, low setitings, chaniging ini stuff, syncing, unsyncing, renaming and retooling saves. While i am not expert I have played PC games forever and know a few tricks, and none of them are working. So thattells me the problem is with the game itself. Since this is not an MMO we will be waiting for a fix until after the week end to be sure, and probably longer than that. They have a scheduled fix already and maybe it addresses the core problem or it doesnt but I would think probably not.

But it seems like as tie goes by and people get more hours into a single character they are seeing the same issues guys saw who pushed through those times in a short period. I dont think itis coincidence. My level 37 was basically unplayable, I started a new guy, he is as 32 now and startung to get worse, I imagine by 37 he will be unplayable as well. common theme? Saved game sizes on their last saves are 5 digits. In some cases it could be CPU maybe not being able to handle the load, but so many people with beyond recommended to bare minimum spec qualifying numbers are seeing it, so I sayit is in the game itself somewhere.

Not being able to use more than 2 GB is the major problem, even the 4GB 'fix doesnt seem to work all that well either, it just might buy you alittle more time.

I haven't finished the bloody game,so it IS wasted money.

Same here, and I purchased the CE.
Normally I attempt to resolve these issues by myself, I'm not too bad when it comes to the tech, but in this case I'm having no luck at all.

150 bucks ouch! But at least you can play with your dragon toy,I on the other hand can play with my ba*ls.

I'm only lvl 22 and around 30 hrs, and all of a sudden I was getting tons of CTDs. The game was totally fine last time I played, so I removed the couple new texture mods and same issue. I might see if removing all mods fixes it, but this is really dumb. Using a couple different LAA mods get the same result.
