Hello all,

I currently decided to blow the virtual dust of my Skyrim and give it another whirl with all these fancy new mods.

On installing some of these lovely mods I attempted to test them by loading a old save file to which it crashed to desktop within a handful of seconds.

I then attempted to start a new game and same result.

I then went through the normal Skyrim CTD fixes

- Changing my sound quality to 24 bit 14410 (or something like that)
- Updating Drivers
- Disabling V-Sync and Anti-Aliasing

Still no prevail.

So I then decided to remove all the mods and just play vanilla Skyrim, both the save game and a new game crashed (I pretty much just get introduced to the horse thieve and hello sixy wallpaper).

I then threw in the towel and did a complete re-install and to my horror the issue still occurs.

So then at a loss I did the oldest trick in the "make my game work" book and put all my settings to low and surprise and behold it didn't crash.

Now before I use to run this on a High settings with the occasional FPS issues but nothing too nasty.

So what is getting me is why all of a sudden am I getting these nasty CTD when I attempt to run the game on something for appealing to the senses (mainly my sight).

Two quick side notes are that I had no issues with playing new titles like Mass Effect 3 (settings are on medium) and when I open good old task manger TESTV.ese is still chewing up system resources.



My specs are as followed

RAM: 4 gig
CPU: Intel Quad core Q6600 2.4GHZ
Video Card: Nvidia GT 440
OS: Vista latest SP (the devil's OS)

*Edit -

I stopped playing when the new texture pack came out which is installed

Try reinstalling the game, I had similar issues with Skyrim in the past, when I was not playing the game for some time and then decided to play it again. CK went crazy, game went crazy. Fresh install solved all the problems.

Hey Aventus,

I have already tried a fresh install and still having the same issue

Did you got latest update from Steam? I had CTD problems after Steam downloaded and installed latest (8th, I think) update for game and CK. I experience CTDs too, but they are from time to time and rather on specific locations and events.

Have you tried deleting your ini files and letting the game regenerate new ones?

Hello All.

I found the problem, I disabled the HD and surprise surprise BOOM I can now FUS-RO-DAH!!

Also my High Res mods are working fine so another thumbs up to Bethesda, awesome games but held together with gum and tape
