Crashing when going to Riften & unable to take screensho

Post » Tue May 29, 2012 4:30 am

Hello! I'm having 2 problems in my game, for the last month (or so) my main character hasen't been able to get anywhere near to Riften, she went there once picked up a load of quests and hasen't been able to go back, I get a CTD whenever I try to go there. Either by fast travel, on foot, on horse etc. I thought I'd wait for the patch to see if that fixes it, but it hasen't :( . I've got to the point where the only quests I've got in my quest log are ones to do with Riften so I'm kinda at a dead end. It's only with this one character though, I started a new game with a new guy and he was able to go straight to Riften - no problems. I'm worried that my main character is borked and she's also my first one and I'm attached to her. (Sounds silly I know.) I really don't want to have to give up on her.

My 2nd problem is that I haven't been able to take screenshots - this isn't a massive deal but I would like to be able to. When I press the F12 button nothing happens - nothing to say it's been saved. I've tried other buttons like print screen and nothing still. There are no screenshots when I go to view them through steam. Is there a way to remedy this, or am I just not able to take any?

Thank you in advanced!

Do you have steam overlay disabled?

Also try some of the fixes in the crashing section, found in the link in my sig mate.
