  1. Since this is the 3rd time this bug happens, I thought I would just post it here, maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

    When I approached a Dragons nest (not sure how they are named, they are usually on top of a mountain and have a Word wall) and got attacked by a blood dragon,

    my character automatically took the Dragons soul before the Dragon could even die.

    Sadly this didn't kill the Dragon, as he proceeded to fly around in his Skeleton Form.

    From this point onwards I could not deal any damage to him anymore so i had to quickload.

     

    Now this happened 2 times with Blood Dragons and due to me having a high level I could dispatch them quick enough in the air before they could close to me.

     

    The 3rd time however was with an ancient Dragon that attacked me at Solitude. Since I messed it up with my save games (I went into several buildings while not seeing the dragon in the city) ,

    I can't avoid this dragon and he annihilates the entire town every time. Due to him being ancient there is no way to kill him before he gets close to me.

    If I just try to hide somewhere he just kills the town by himself anyway (which is what I'm trying to avoid).

    Any ideas?

  2. I know this might be a little unconventional, but I'm basically looking for a Mod that tells me if I have already read a book, before I open it.

     

    It could be something similar to a check list, but instead of looking on a list, maybe the name of the book could appear cursive after I have read it,

    or a little check mark next to the name or a simple "Completed" in the name.

     

    Skyrim has so many of those things, and even though I like reading them,

    I usually only notice in between that I had read that book already (this especially applies to the stories that have several parts).

     

    I know a lot of people aren't actually paying attention to any of the books in the game world (shame on your they are great :P),

    but I still hope that someone can help me out with this mod request.

  3. I'm kinda lost.

    I'm lurking around at level 30 and I have yet to encounter a single Storm- or Frost Atronach.

    All I'm finding in the wilderness are Flame Atronach's and every Conjurer I encounter refuses to summon the Storm or Frost Version.

    I would love to see them in action, because they look pretty cool (and I need their salts), so I would love if someone could point me in a direction of where to look for them.

    Much appreciated.

  4. I've read in a few places there was a bad batch of components on some early 6000 series cards. I suspected it because I've had hard crashes in some of the more demanding games, like BF3 and now Skyrim. The Skyrim crashes were identical to all of you guys. Other games worked fine over the card's life (about 12 months), but it's possible they weren't pushing it as hard as more recent games, or at least not in the areas that relate to the fault.

     

    End result?

     

    I managed to replace my MSI R6850 Storm II OC (factory OC to 820Mhz) with an ASUS EAU6850 Direct CU (factory OC to 790Mhz).. end of hard crash problems. No more crashes, and I get a lot better performance out of my card, largely as I was having to underclock it to maintain stability on recent games. But also because I can overclock it to 6870 reference levels, and Skyrim still runs a dream.

     

    While we're quick to say 'it's not hardware, all my other games are working fine' .. well yes, but I would suggest that not all cards are faulty in the same way. I've heard alternating reports that it was faulty memory, voltage resistors, etc.. I'm no tech, but I can imagine each card will be screwed to a greater or lesser extent by these components. And let's be honest, Skyrim isn't tuned too well. It's a graphics hog, when it really shouldn't be.

     

    But a working card can, and does, handle it.

     

    Look it may not be the answer for everyone, but the proof is in the pudding for me.

     

    Note: My card wasnt crashing during benchmarking, only during BF3 and Skyrim, and initially when I bought it before I underclocked (should've RMA'd then but yeah, you live and learn).

     

    Seems a bit unlikely. While Skyrim is certainly not too well optimized and thus forces more load on your graphics card,

    there is no way, that it needs more resources then playing Metro 2033 or Battlefield 3 on full settings with all the DX11 features enabled.

    Besides these crashes seem to be very much reproducible, at least to some extent (eg. opening the map, riding a horse, getting close to whiterun etc.),

    which makes it sound more like the issue is on the games side.

  5. I have what might be bad news. There's a chance the issue lies with my graphics card and NOT the game after all.

     

    I borrowed an old ATI card to try out, and everything works fine, despite looking and performing like crap. I got no black screens long past where I experienced my first one with my own GPU. This explains why playing from a separate HDD didn't work.

     

    I still think it's a problem with SOME 6850s and 6870s, and possibly others in the same "HD" series. Mine is an HIS IceQ X Turbo X HD6870.

     

    I wouldn't say that. Many users have this problem only happening in Skyrim, while all the other games that got released recently (And are way more demanding) run just fine.

    To me it looks like, that the developers didn't test their game properly on enough hardware setups before releasing it.

  6. i was having isues with the game crashing to desktop no fixes with dll files helped so I removed them back out. then using navidia managed the 3D setings on the game to force of vertical sync and turned textur filtering to performance seting now ok ... no crashes to desk top3Gh4 g RAMvista sp2Ge force GTS 450

     

     

    I'm having some problems with Skyrim. sometimes the game freezes without apparent reason. i need to hit ctr+alt+del and restart the game to be able to play again. this happened in the beggining of the game,as soon as you cross the bridge and the rock drops on it, then the guy starts talking, the game just freezes up.any ideas why this happens? there is any fix for this?

     

    You both seem to have different issues then the one in this thread, so any solutions posted here will probably not really help you (I suggest you look somewhere else).

    We were specifically talking about Skyrim shutting down the PC or forcing you to restart your PC (Due to issue with the video card). If "just" the game crashes, it's a different bug.

  7. Seems like a lot of us, including me, own a Radeon 6870..

     

    Just for fun I´m gonna try it on my laptop..should be able to play it on medium..Intel + Nvidia working there

     

    Yeah, either 6870, or 6950.

    It can't be entirely related to that though. There are plenty of people with those 2 video cards who can play it just fine.

  8. The issue reminds me very clearly of the same thing I had with Dead Island.

    Changed from HD 5850 to HD 6950 and got those crashes.

     

    Now I don't have Skyrim yet, so I have no idea if I will have this problem again (hopefully not),

    but lowering settings (and increasing fan speed) in Dead Island back then did not fix the issue, it only took longer for the "crash" to happen.

    (I would strongly advise against continuously trying this with different settings, chances are high you are damaging your hardware over time.)

     

    The issue is 100% with the game and seems to happen mostly with the HD 6xxx series. I blame both games being terrible console ports.

    Hopefully this will get fixed for Skyrim at some point, because it has never been done in Dead Island (And I have given up on the latter).
