Good Morning fellow games people, I recently installed Skyrim on my PC after a lot of messing about with the disk. I installed it by deleting the local content with steam, and finally got it to come up with the 'installing from disk' thing, and now I have been playing it. Here is my question: When I play the game at anything higher than 'low quality' setting on the graphics, the game play is very jerky. It's still a bit bad with the low quality setting on, but at least playable. Now I really don't know if this is due to my computer or the whole 'Steam' thing. I thought my computer had good graphics ability, but I might be just wrong. If anyone can tell me how, on Windows 7, to find out what processor...graphics...RAM...thingys my computer has, I can do so and post them here...because maybe you guys will just say 'oh yes it's just your computer specs that make the game jerky'. You can see I don't quite know what I am doing here :) On the other hand, I am wondering if it might be Steam (which I don't understand anyway) making my game go funny. I got the impression that if Steam is still connecting, then the game can be very slow. I have tried putting Steam in offline mode, but the game simply comes up with an error that I cannot play it in offline mode and makes me restart Steam in online mode before playing. I definately did install it from the disk though, although (I don't know if this matters), it never, ever asked me for the install key on the actual CD packet. During gameplay, I do get messages saying 'you have won X award in Steam!' which makes me think the game is constantly connected to the internet, and this might be slowing things down - as our internet is horrible speed. If someone could help me please I would much appreciate it. Just remember you're talking to someone who doesn't know much computer jargon so please help me troubleshoot in small words :) Thanks, I appreciate any help. Crouton.
