WTF is up with all the CTDs all of a sudden? I used to play for hours without issues, but lately I've been crashing every 20-40 minutes, almost always when Fast-travelling or, occasionally, when transitioning between an interior/exterior cell.

PC is a Win7 64-bit maching with 6GB of RAM. Was running the game fine until about a week ago. Did they patch something and f*** it up? Because... this IS Bethesda and that wouldn't be the first time that has happened.

Any advice on how I can possibly reduce the number of CTDs (besides never Fast-travelling) would be greatly appreciated.

It is because the game is currently capped at using 2gb of ram in it's vanilla state and the game requires more than 2gb of ram most of the time. So when it suddenly runs out of ram it just ctds for no seemingly no reason. I tested out all the fixes and none of them worked until i tried the 4gb launcher that allows the game to use 4gb of ram and now i think i have had 1 ctd in the past 40+ hrs of play

Doesn't work for me. Have it installed but still a crash after under one minute (yeah, not even ten or a half hour), without any special place it's everywhere. I am waiting for a fix for feeled years now but nothing happens.

I've tried it but I can't get it working on 64-bit (the file says it has issues with it). If anyone managed to get it running on WIn-7 64 LMK how you accomplished it.

Whelp... now I'm COMPLETELY FUBARed. Can't play AT ALL.

If I try to Fast Travel from WHiterun, I CTD in the loading screen.

If I try to leave via the gate, I CTD at the load screen.

If I *do* make it outside (2 of my 7 attempts), I CTD while running outside after about 30 seconds (before I can even get off the hill).

Disabled all my MODs (even the ones that had been running 50, 60, or more hours without a hitch) but no dice. CTDs are everywhere.

Has anyone tried uninstalling the app and reloading from the installation DVD? Did it help? I see thrads asking for help with non-loading Save game files.

Very frustrating...

that sounds more like a corrupted game save...
there is a method to fix that and I think it was in some comments on skyrimnexus.com
here is the 4gb patch from there
http://skyrimnexus.c...ile.php?id=3211

wish I made a bookmark for that corrupt file fix. it involved dropping all items but quest items and teleporting into a safe room where you save then reloading and doing some other things.
so it is out there the solution

also could try a roll back to a previous patch

I used to run a lot of texture mods and such which caused a lot of CTD's. But I got rid of all of them and I only run other utility mods including 4GB launcher. Now I don't face anymore CTD's.
