exiting the game and loading it back up fixes the issue, for now. until they run a patch to fix this. I'm going to try some more testing with ambient occlusion when i get home and see if that helps.

Possibly an poison of some kind. As far as i know (unless im missing something) there is no status bar to tell you if there is a buff/debuff on you at any time. The only way i know about is if NPC's start asking you what is wrong with you. Try visiting a shrine and cure any debuffs you might have on you just to rule that out.

did you complete the quest to become a vampire? If so your health/stamina will never regenerate while in sunlight.

Thats exactly what my problem is. Glad you could provide the screenshot. I will have to try turning ambient occlusion on for a while and see how that goes. I did download the beta driver but i havent seen much of a difference in crashes.

I also have 0 mods and run this game straight from steam.

I'm having some trouble when playing skyrim on my PC. Every now and then i will notice that random things will be missing the textures completely. They become purple in color, they retain their shape but lose any detail what so ever. They just become a flat purple color. This happens to armor, animal heads that are mounted on the walls, sometimes trees, etc. After this happens i usually start doing quicksaves every minute or so because i know a crash is coming. I would attach a screenshot of the textures but i am not currently at home to do this. However, the texture losses doesnt always happen before the game crashes. It will do it randomly, either mid fight, or when it goes to a loading screen. There are no errors, its a silent CTD and happens instantly. I am running the game on Ultra high quality and i've checked the temps of the CPU and graphics card and everything looks fine. CPU usage is below 15% at all times and my RAM usage never goes over 50% so i dont think its a hardware issue. I want to also note that i do have the latest drivers for my devices. I'm not sure if the patch coming out soon is going to address the issue or not, but i didnt see anything in the notes about it fixing specific graphical issues and crashes for PC. ANy suggestions?
