If people do not test the updates and report the bugs then we will never get an improved game. If we all sat back and did not upgrade but just waited till someone else says the upgrade is good. It would take forever as the bug reports would be slow They need to do a much better job of testing the patch before they release it. That is part of the process within the development team. Unfortunetly, in order to solve a minor bug they are creating 3 majors ones. Its like taking a step forward and then three backwards. It ends up being regressive. Anyway, they created 1.2 based on client feedback on bugs and issues within the game. So, according to your logic, they should have solved the issues and not created new ones, but thas not the case. I myself have reverted to a nonsteam and nonpatched version and I am running fxaa + enb + 4gb+ a ton of retextures and havent looked back since.

For now solve the crashing issue by enabling the 4gbfix . Graphic improvements are highly subjective. Some people can't tell the difference. Other like the way vanilla looks. But if you know how to mess with it you can alway make the same "Vanilla" palette looks sharper and better. The presets that the fxaa comes with might not be suitable for your tastes or for to your own individual monitor and graphics settings.I found the presets to bee on the "extreme" side of palette and sharpening effetcs/ I had to mess with the settings to get it to look good, but it looks 100x better than stock vanilla.

After the first patch I did a fresh install and now I'm running the game straight off TESV.exe with fxaa + enb v.5 + 4gb fix+ retexts and I haven't looked back once. I wouldn't even think about going 1.2. I've had 0 crashes since the 4gb fix and the game looks amazing. If more people stopped d/l the backward patching Betehsda is providing they'd think twice before ruining the game experience for their client base.

Go to the normal Skyrimlauncher. Go to options. And make sure you didn't change the screen resolution by mistake.

I'd try pasting your saved game in the same save-game manager and see if they load.

Yup. After the first patch it diasbled 4gb, so do it manually. It solved the ctd and it gave me better performance. I'm getting about 10-15 more fps.

I had the crash problem with fxaa + enb + retexts until I changed it manually to use 4gb since I couldnt get the skyrim4gb.exe to work. This is the manual way of doing the 4gb fix. And it is guaranteed to smooth out gameplay but most importantly stop the crash to desktop. Here is HOW to stop crashes: 1. Download Explorer suite also known as CFF explorer @ http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php 2. Once you install it, run it, and follow the instrucitons below: Click the folder icon or go to File -> Open and browse your PC for TESV.exe. Click on File Header at the left, find Characteristics at the right, and click the Click here blue button. Check the "App can handle >2GB address space" box Click OK. Save by clicking the disk icon or going to 'File -> Save. Overwrite the file when it asks you to. If it doesn't let you overwrite just rightclick TESV.exe and uncheck the "read-only" box. THEN OVERWRITE. GOOD LUCK

Also, keep in mind it is good to keep a backup in a seperate folder of the original TESV.exe -- just in case.

Delete the current *.exe file. Rename the backup executable back to the original name, now you can safely update/upgrade. THIS FIXED CTD FOR ME. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE 4 GBSs.

Good looking elves? That would be subjective anyway. I'm just showing that not all elves ought to look pretty or the same for that matter.

I'v enoticed that some shots actually have upwards trajectory before drop-off. But if you're talkign about long distance shots you always aim about one head-and a half higher. However, you may be trying to hit you target at a distance where the arrows looses force and it doesnt register a hit even if you're on target.
