So i recently installed the High texture pack from Steam to Skyrim. But there's one problem. When i try to load a save or fast travel, the game brokens and i return to my desktop. Is anyone having this problem? i would like an awnser or a help.

Are you running Windows 32 or 64 bits?

Hardware specs?

I'm running on Windows 7 32 bits. It was working perfectly normal on ultra settigns before the patch:

GPU-Radeon HD 4830

CPU-Intel Core 2 Duo E8500

Probably Win7 32-bit at the minimum being the main culprit for the crashes. The other two are pushing it and borderline insufficient as well for the HD pack, especially if there's only 512MB on that 4830.

The biggest issue is the patch increased texture size from ~1.3GB in total to ~3.2GB, some of which are shared, so its probably closer to 3.5GB with HD textures. Without getting super technical, if you can get access to a copy of Win7 x64, your 32-bit key should work with it. I'd start by reinstalling and upgrading to x64 and see if it fixes your crashing problem. You still may get poor performance and stuttery/hitching with the HD pack, but at least you won't be crashing every time you try to load a new zone.

The texture pack works fine on my XP32/2GB Ram machine, but I also have a 2GB video card.

^ as long as you have the VRAM, you should be fine. If you don't you will then need generally more physical RAM because that's were it goes next after using all the VRAM and that's much slower.

Ok, thanks guys.

I'm seeing a pattern regarding 32bit vs 64bit and the HD pack. It seems that you need a lot more than just 1GB VRAM on a 32bit system whereas you'll get away with just 1GB on a 64bit system with enough RAM.

Yeah, I agree. I'd recommend 1.5 GB given the observations.

The new HD pack also crashes my game to the desktop. Before the pack, I never ever crashed even once.

WinXP 32 bit
Radeon HD5880 1GB

I uninstall the pack and the crashes disappear. So yeah. Odd bug.
