Hi all , I Keep having to restart new playthroughs becouse I constantly hit a wall of bugs that linger on my charaters.

My most recent advanture with a rogue type bernton , I was just about to get put in the mine on the forsworn quest line , but every time the guard talks to me the game freezes , "huff" i decided to skip the quest and continue the playthrough , now when ever I get stoped by a guard the game freezes and I can do nothing.

I have no saves befor the felsworn questline and im about 20 hours into the playthrough.

Does any one know a fix to stop the game from freezing ? I want to finsh the darn game but every time I try it just bugs

First thing is first man:

Xbox, PS3, or PC?

oh sorry for the delay , im playing a PC version

Try turning off all sounds, then run up to the guard and let him speak... (Turn them off completely, in the settings, not just the main volume, or your computers volume.)

If it works, then you should be able to turn the sound back on after that. Might be a corrupted sound-file, or just a borked script, related to that dialogue.

The only thing i can think of is to get more mb . It is like when your working in a room that is filled and there is no more space to work in .That is the only thing i can think of when your on pc. I have a quad core 2 years old. And it is working fine here........And with what i have heard from people that have problems...Most of them went everywhere without beeing led there by a person.Maybe that is a big problem. Explore but not to much.It is better when you go places and talk to people and do quests for them.At least untill they fixed the problems. I do that and untill now i have almost zero problems.

Thanks for the replys guys , ill try the sound thing now and will report back asap,

I dont think its my PC as its new for christmas and a top spec gaming pc

Hi guys the sound solution is not working,

The bug happens when im trying to compleate the theith guide quest , im in the first room of the lab in maraketh , there are wizzard guards there whitch i kill as they attack me on sight , but in the 2nd room there is also a maraketh guard who arrests me for stealing (as im a theith and i steal a lot)

When the guard talks to me and i try to pick a dialog option the game freezes.

Im not sure why the guard is in the lap with the wizzards guards in the first place !

Suggest going to the Hardware/Software forum - select PC when you get there - there are stickies that deal with different situations. Yours may be listed.

Also, posting there increases the odds of a better answer.

Good Luck.

PS: That's were most players are listing their game problems.

On the top of this forum click on V - Skyrim, then down to software/hardware, click on PC.

That may be why it is crashing... He is not supposed to be there.

I had a similar issue, when a Riften guard was nowhere near Riften. He was miles away, and being killed by an imperial-guard, apparently from Solitude, who was also miles from home...

Thought it might be the sounds, as the "arrest" sound/script is a common used sound/script. (Since you said it happens on every guard.)

Now, I believe it is just simple save-game file corruption, which is also common. But it manifests as something different for everyone. Most manifestations are harmless and unseen... but this is obviously something that is more serious. (It is probably crashing because he has the option to "take you in", to a location he can't actually reach. Or he is about to fight, but since he doesn't actually exist, he is an anomaly, he just freezes the game.)

oh wow , ok thanks for the updates , such a shame , do you know of any mods that might fix this ? dont want to waste 30 hours of play time

+ are the devs trying to correct any of these bugs with patches ?

kill him

bwhahaa , i was thinking of that too , let me see if it works . buwhahaa

Well its worked for now thanks , Ive killed the guard , and then exited the musem and talked to the other guard about my bounty and talked him out of arresting me so the game didnt crash , yippie !

I guess the moral of the story is , when the game bugs , just kill everything !
