Hi, it's one of those topics again, freezings. I freeze so much during battles, I just don't know what to do. Funny thing is, I never freeze while indoors. Never had any problem indoors (at least not that I can recall... which goes to show that I seldom have problems indoors). I have problem only in the outdoor cells. I think the freeze happens more frequently when there's a dragon around, but it happens without dragons all the time too. I also have a lot of lags, where the game would stop for 3~4 seconds while the computer accesses HDD crazy (I do defrag my HDD). I have quite a bit of stutters too. My load order is (I am sorry I don't know how to make this collapsible and expandable). # This file was automatically generated by Mod Organizer.

I just want to start playing the game again. For the most part, I followed installation instructions for mods and made necessary ini tweaks (for example, putting deadly dragons in the ASIS exclusion list etc) I suspect it may be the script problem, but deactivating the combat mods doesn't seem to help a whole lot. (I disable locational damage, deadly combat, deadly dragons, dragon combat overhaul, tk hitstop etc, and it maybe just my feeling, but freeze does seem to happen less frequently, but doesn't go away entirely) Going back to the default ini's doesn't seem to help. I have ENBoost and Safety Load. CPU i7-2600 3.40GHz, Ram 8GB, GPU Radeon HD 7950 with 3GB Vram. What else would you do?

I get reproducible CTDs in Northeastern part of Solstheim near the Skaal village when I run there. That is, when I run, I get CTD at around the same places. I suspect the spots I get CTDs are the boundaries between cells. This makes it very hard to travel in that area, and what I have to resort to is walking slowly and saving frequently. (too bad, even fast travel to Skaal village doesn't work sometimes) Does something like this happen to anyone? Is there a good fix for this? My Skyrim is somewhat heavily modded (~120 plugins) but I don't have anything that would particularly affect only that part of the worldspace (and I don't think there's such a mod out there anyway). I do have sufficient ram and vram and use enboost too. Any advice will be really appreciated.

Sure, I'd appreciate it very much. You say unstable, but shouldn't be much harm in trying it out. If it is problematic, I can always go back, right?

I am wondering if there is a mod out there that reduces bow strength for the enemies. I am around level 50, light armor using 1 handed warrior (used to be sneak archer but maxed archery, light armor and sneak out and now fighting with axe and shield) but the enemy archers are just too strong. Usually one or two shot kills me. Enemy melee attackers can hardly make a dent on me, but archers, they are just too strong. I know Skyrim's weird scaling and all, but this is insane. I know the game's difficulty settings, I have deadly combat and I have deadly monsters (deadly dragon shootoff, I think). Haven't really tinkered with the settings, but I don't think they will help since I was just the archers nuffed a bit (in fact, I am using legendary difficulty setting and even at that level the melee enemies are a joke. I can use deadly combat and deadly monsters to buff up the melee enemies but that will make archers shoot through the roof, making it simply impossible to play the game at all). Combats are no longer any fun at all, since melee enemies are too easy and archers are just impossible. Or I will just have to return to being a sneak archer with locational damage headshot feature turned on. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

I've been looking for a while, but I haven't come across a mod that let you have the local map on HUD. IcePenguin's Qualify World Map with Roads is definitely a godsend, but I sometimes feel like it would be nice if I can see the local map as a mini map as part of HUD. At the very least, a hotkey that brings up the local map immediately, instead of having to open the map menu and bring up the local map. When I am in a dark dungeon or when I am trying to orient myself on the field, so may times I get to open the map/local map repeatedly, which breaks the flow and immersion. Now, I know what some are thinking, yes, looking at the map with GPS style location marker breaks immersion too, but I think I'd prefer the former at times. I am a non-fast traveler and I make my dungeons darker. So I am being "realistic" to the extent I like and can. I don't know anything about modding, but displaying a compressed local map (where the local map from the map menu is sized down proportionately) or a local map showing only the very immediate surroundings shouldn't be all that hard. If anyone would make something like this, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks. You mean pay the boat captain to go back to Skyrim? Is there a captain that takes you to Cyrodiil? If you are talking about the captain of the Northern maiden (the same vessel that I cam to Solstheim on) then that's the first thing I tried, and it doesnt work for me. Like I said, I cant even get into Raven Rock mine. The only place I can go is qasmoke and open areas in Solstheim, together with cells that require short loadings like buildings within solstheim. I loaded the save that works which was made at Windhelm gate, went to Solstheim and tried returning to Skyrim immediately, and the same result. Rebooting the computer didnt fix the problem. Installing the newest version of video card driver didn't. I hope this goes away like in your case. Sigh...

I honestly have no idea and this is frustrating me to lunacy. I am in Sostheim now, and I can't leave it. When I try, I either get CTD on load screen or get stuck at the load screen forever. I can fast travel to locations within Solstheim, but I can't return to Windhelm, I can't go into Raven Rock Mine either. Console COC command to say, Whiterun, doesn't work. I can still go to QAsmoke though. Dragonborn quest has not started. I just came to Solstheim on a whim on a recently started game. When I try loading a previous save before I came to Solstheim (at the dock in Windhelm), I get the same infinite loading screen. I can start a new game however. I did not install a new mod since I came to Solstheim. I know this is all really vague (I'm not even attaching my plugin list here), but is this a known issue of some kind? I really hoped to actually play the game this installation of Skyrim around... Edit: the save I made at Windhelm dock CTDs upon finishing to load, but the save before that, which was made at the gate of Windhelm loads. Can someone tell me what could cause this kind of behavior? What seems to have happened is that from the point when I was at Windhelm dock, something changed in some manner in such a way that I can only be in Solstheim and not Skyrim (didn't do an extensive testing to see where I could and couldn't go, but this seems to be the case).

I know this is not likely to be something shares by many, and even if that were the case only a minor annoyance, but is there a way to allow use of left and right directional keys of a 360 controller in favorites menu? Up and down buttons work to allow you to select items, but left and right buttons don't do anything. If you want to change category (if you're using categorized favorites menu) or go to different columns (for the new favorites menu from SkyUI) you need to use the analog stick. I don't know how this works with keyboard + mouse combination. I suspect you would use mouse, but can this somehow be done?
