I actually stopped my crashing by setting my CPU clock speed back to its defaults, apparently Skyrim does not like overclocked CPUs! :tes:

for everyone who dont know where it is

c:\users\yourpcname\my documents/mygames/skyrim/

in this folder -> open "SkyrimPrefs"

search bSaveOnTravel=1 and change it to bSaveOnTravel=0

Is this for people that are crashing when the fast travel? I assume that is what SaveOnTravel means. I crash during conversations, looting, walking around, etc. Just verifying when you were seeing CTD issues before.

For me it helps for all CTD. Before i changed it, my game crashes in the same way like yours do.

More than likely the turning off of Xfire is what fixed it -- Beth games have always had problems with using any other program that takes control even for a few seconds when they are running -- so the save on fast travel is probably safe to turn back on if you want !

Holy crap I think this worked. I played for an hour without a crash. I will report back if it starts happening again. Thanks a lot for the info

It didn't help for me, I still crash every 20 mins <_<

Bethesda's recommendation to change the Windows Audio setting to 24bit 44100hz seems to have worked for me. I don't CTD very often. Maybe once a night (4+hrs gaming)?

I played 3 hours today and it still works, no CTD :dance:

Worked like a charm. I have not had a crash to desktop since I changed bSaveOnTravel=1 to bSaveOnTravel=0. Amazing catch. Thanks again for the information! You saved the game for me.

This is working so far, no CTD's.

Is editing this .ini option the same as disabling saving on travel in-game? Because I've tried disabling the option in-game and I still get frequent crashes.

Sry i dont know it exactly. I would say you just try to disable it in the .ini.

Well whatever they changed with the 1.1 update started my game crashing to desktop again

It's the same as disabling it in-game.
