hey everyone i tryed to make skyrim run smoother because whenever i move or run around in a direction the game is getting laggy and i read that the solution would be to allow the game to have more RAM available and they say put this in your skyrim.ini file under [papyrus]: iMinMemoryPageSize=100000 iMaxMemoryPageSize=5000000 iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=1800000000 but as soon as i ran it with these values the game crashed after 2 minutes of gameplay and i didnt even feel any improovement i searched all day in the forums and google how to solve this but i cant find anybody having trouble with those settings instead of me :sad: yesterday the game was runnning fine of course a little laggy when running but it ran and i have mods like enb and other stuff but these worked just fine only now im getting problems with this change i just made and i dont even know the original values anymore :sad: i read about this change here : http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2227329 information about my system: core i5 2500k @ 3.3Ghz GTX 570 8 GB DDR3 RAM i add my skyrim.ini and my skyrimprefs.ini settings so maby you find something i did wrong or something im missing thanks !
