Outside of the United States, 09/07/2012 means the 9th of July, 2012. Yes, that sounds about right. I found a save that was created around the beginning of July and apparently it doesn't seem to have bloating issues... Thanks a lot guys, at least I don't have to start over... I'm quite attached to my character and really don't feel like parting from him yet! Hahaha!!! :tongue:

Yeah, absolutely, that's a great alternative to starting over. Does anyone remember when Civilizations was released though? I'm trying to find an older save that didn't have it yet so that I can do what was suggested here too... :)

Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, there isn't a solution to this problem right now. I thought I was able to solve it and was able to play for a little while with my lvl 43 character and then, all of a sudden, the stuttering started all over again... :wallbash: I tried everything that was suggested in this thread but, unfortunately, nothing seems to work. Sleeping for 2 weeks doesn't do anything (I tried sleeping for 31 days and over and no luck)... Unless someone (hopefully Cliffworm's on it or maybe even someone else) comes up with a fix, I'm afraid that the only alternative right now is to start a new character... :(

Hey everyone, I had the same exact problem and I was lucky enough to fix it (although I'm not sure what exactly did it) so I'll share my experience and, hopefully, it'll help in figuring out a fix: After getting a warning message from BOSS while re-ordering my mods, I uninstalled all 3 SoS (I had latest versions installed). That's when the constant freezing begun. Just like many others, I couldn't play for more than a few minutes without getting a 2-3 seconds freeze which got really annoying pretty quick... I'd like to point out that before uninstalling SoS I never experienced any bloated game save or freezing. Matter of fact, I would've never even known about this problem if BOSS didn't notify me about the issue with SoS. I, luckily, had a backup of all my mods and was able to re-install SoS but using the latest game save didn't seem to get rid of the constant freezes and even going back to earlier saves didn't seem to help. I tried everything i could think of and, finally, I remembered I had a backup of all my saves (about a month old but I haven't played much lately and it's better than starting a whole new game...) and I simply copied those into my saves folder, started the game, loaded the latest save from that early backup and ...it freakin' worked!!! All my mods are installed (I have about 50 installed, INCLUDING SoS) and no more freezing! I played for a while and I haven't experienced any freeze or game save bloating. The game runs flawlessly (well, as flawless as it can be...). Sorry if someone already posted a similar solution (I quickly read throught the 12 pages and didn't seem to find anything) and I hope this can help. :wink:

How the f*** can you play offline? My Skyrim won't even start if I'm in offline-mode..? After following this (and other forums') thread and trying anything suggested with no success whatsoever, i finally gave this a shot. I started Steam in offline mode and have been playing Skyrim for several hours with no crashes which is absolutely unusual given the number of crashes i've been experiencing in the past couple of days. I simply couldn't play for more than 10 minutes without my rig crashing and rebooting. I have no mods installed, just modified my .ini files for fov and mouse smoothing. My rig's specs: Win 7 home edition x64 Phenom II x4 965 BE (stock speed) 4 Gb DDR3 @1600 Mhz MSI Radeon HD 4850 1 Gb factory overclocked Corsair tx650w PSU Antec Nine Hundred case w/ 5 fans It's definitely not an overheating problem as i watched my temps (my vga never went over 48° c) and even while playing more demanding games (Witcher 2, Crysis 2, Battlefield 3) this has never happened to me before. Has anyone tried this? Did it work for you too? I'll try to play some more and see what happens...
