1.4 and crashes

Post » Mon May 28, 2012 11:05 pm

anyone feel like when running 1.4 that beth didnt do enough to resolve the plethora of random and conditional crashes that one can experience in the game? its probably the most gamebreaking part of skyrim as at times the crashing is just nonstop, not only is it annoying and keep you from playing it also forces you to do the same thing over and over again and when your doing ten playthroughs at once on the same character with the same [censored] it does a doozy on replayability.

when i first dl'd the 1.4 beta i was expecting at the very least that there would be a good time period elapsed before i crashed as there are notes regarding crashes but 3 minutes in and on comes the crash. skyrim is a great game imo, but what does it matter if its unplayable? this shoulda recieved more attention.

1.4 seems to have fixed most of that for most people.

It's probably your fault. Or your hardware / software.

We'll never know if you don't give any useful info (your hardware specs, mods installed, what you were doing when it crashed, what have you tried, etc etc).

You mentioned NOTHING. Might as well said "i crsh fix it!"

I've had only three crashes in 300+ hours of playing (that's with 1.1 and 1.3), and one of those was probably my fault. And from 90% of reports, the 1.4 beta looks to be way more stable than that for most.

I loaded my most (very) broken saved game into 1.4 beta. After playing for over 30 hours since then, I have had only one CTD, and none at the many locations that 100% caused CTD on 1.3.

1.4 has fixed the game for me.

ive been playing on 1.4 beta since it came out and i have not had one crash, before i was getting crashed every 5 min or when i tried to enter houses. 1.4 also shrunk my save file size, so i hope i dont get crashed when it grows to the size it was pre patch.

Oddly enough, before I installed the beta I had exactly one crash in about 250 hours. After installing the beta I get them every couple hours. I haven't spent any time trying to work out why yet. I'm just keeping an eye one what I'm doing when it happens to see if I can find a pattern.

You should likely be posting things concerning the BETA patch in the patch forums, http://www.gamesas.com/forum/186-beta-update-on-steam/
