There is still a major problem loading save games. This is with the latest 1.4 beta patch. I hope the devs read this however because I found a work around for everyone having this issue..

The problem occurs when you have your options set to MAX and ULTRA on everything in the video settings. When you get stuck because of a non loading save game, use the task manager to kill the game, open the Skyrims options and click on the lowest settings button. Then try and load your game again. It has worked for me every single time this save game problem comes up for me.

Once you get your save to load, fast travel to some town or location and save again. Then you can exit, put your graphics options back to the max and the save should load fine. Once in a while I found that the new save would not load once I reset to max again so I just repeat the procedure and eventually get it working again with max settings..


BTW, I am on a FX-6800 Intel I7 8-core system with 9GB ram, Nvidia GTX 560 ti video and Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro sound. And yes all my drivers are current and updated including directX and .Net drivers.. I know because I have been trouble shooting a game for another company and I am a coder myself so I have to keep things up to spec.

Thanks for the info. Fortunately, I have had no issues since applying the first 1.4 beta patch. In fact, I have reinstalled some mods that I had earlier believed might be the cause of instability.

All is good now.

Watch the skies!

Yes I have read some seem to have this problem resolved - hopefully.. I was good too until about 5 minutes ago.. Played for about an hour and did the Meridia quest and could not get out when she tried to bring me back... So I used this technique and it worked. I had hope this problem was fixed being that I seemed to be playing without any issues for a good hour... but then....

You only need to make one post int he appropriate forum. As this is for the beta.. please dont repeat post, just bloats the forums.
