I am currently trying to LEGIT minmax my character, without any glitches or exploits, while playing on legendary difficulty from level 1. Currently I am level 41 and I managed to get my fortify alchemy gear as high as 29% and fortify alchemy options as high as 32%. However, in an unrelated issue I realised ancient knowledge ability is bugged and gives me 25% armor bonus which I do not want since I wanted this playthrough to be legit, therefore I installed an unofficial patch. I immediately went and did the entire loop again to test it, starting with creating 15% fortify enchanting potion without any alchemy gear on me. I managed to get it as high as 34% fortify enchanting potion and 33% fortify alchemy bonus on the gear. I did not test fortify smiting gear because I assume it just depends of my current enchanting bonus. Either way, I was surprised that I can go higher WITH an unofficial patch than without. Now can someone help me find an answer to that? Was there a bug related to creating alchemy/enchanting gear that prevented us to go higher than 29% fortify alchemy, or did guys responsible for unofficial patch just increased the cap? tl;dr Skyrim vanilla: - fortify enchanting potion - 32% - fortify alchemy gear - 29% Skyrim unofficial patch: - fortify enchanting potion 34% - fortify alchemy gear 33% SAME METHOD both times, same perks etc. Not sure why is this happening, can anyone explain?

Hello, Ok so, those npcs just staying near the Birna shop and doing nothing. I can talk with them, I can punch them and they still coming back to same place and keep staying.. They act properly when someone attack them, or dragon etc. but then they just coming back to same spot and staying forever. I even completed Ranmir quest but nothing changed. There is ANY way to fix this? :/ That's pretty annoying, I don't even know why something like that happen. I think they become bugged after attack of Dragon long time ago.

Well I have good fps on max settings so I don't think thats the problem. I totally cleaned my graphic card drivers (driver cleaner pro), installed fresh and somehow.. I don't have crashes or blackscreens. I am just getting graphical artifacts sometimes (after I visit few different loactions) and I have to restart skyrim/pc. It's like longer I play then more likely chance I have for graphical artifact. I am thinking if it can be fault of never reinstalled windows xp.. (nearly 3 years). Or maybe I am still failing at installing graphic drivers properly.

XP can't have more memory than 3.25 GB so how the hell minimum req. can be 4 GB? I will try this update but I have an auto update on my XP so I don't think it will help. :( But. I noticed few things, game crashing most often in whiterun when I entering the inn or just running around. I can play 1h sometimes wthout crash when I am far away from Whiterun. Strange. :/ But anyway it crasing sometimes when I enter cave or something. During loadings anyway. PS: Yea this update is included in SP3.

I just loaded skyrim and it crashed.

Hello, Please help me with my problem. Sometimes my game crash when I load new area/open map. It didn't happen before, on previous patches it worked perfectly. I have also blackscreens (but sound keep going) sometimes totally random. Most of those problems I have outside. What I tried: - updating graphic drivers - lowest graphic settings, nothing changed - changing to 44.1K Hz - some random fixes My PC: GeForce 250 GTS Realtek sound card 3.25 GB RAM Windows XP SP3 Core2Duo 7500 Temperatures - 60 maximum. As I told game doing blackscreen/crash totally random. Average once for 15 minutes. It's so annoying and makes game unplayable. :/
