HurDerpDerp Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Here's a strange thing - even though my laptop is weak, it handled everything from Crysis 2 to Saint's Row 3. The only games that crashed just like Skyrim were Batman Arkham Asylum and Assassin's Creed Revelations. What do you think - could this be hardware-related?I ve completed Batman Arkham Asylum. Twice. Not a single crash... And yet Im here in this thread lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because some person here said that Saint's Row 3 crashes same as Skyrim, yet it works for me, even though it's a little laggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsburnMadeMeDoIt Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Half of the people posting in those threads probably experiencing common overheating issue, or unstable overclock. It may look like it is the same issue as the rest of us having, but it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eneishi Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 This game is designed for Xbox/ps3, we have PC the last generation, is ridiculous...should not crash! so it is a problem of game, no hardware They have created a nasty bug that makes a lot of computer crash ROFL, wut? I seriously doubt this. But you are right, Esburn. I do think my problem had a lot to do with overheating. I got a cooling mat and turned my fans up, and it works just fine now.

voldoman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 It's not an overheating issue for me, the last time I tested my GPU was 60 and CPU 52 under heavy load. Not to mention it crashes after 10 seconds of playing which wouldn't give it enough time to overheat, and before when it only crashed when viewing the map I could play for 5 hours straight without a crash. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope this sound thing fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeXCA Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Just registered to post this: I had constant hard crashes under win 7x64 nVidia 570 in Skyrim. Crash was completely reproducible -- enter map screen, scroll around, *bam*, PC reset. Stable everywhere else (with exception of occasional, reproducible crashes in a house basement talking with another character). Installed latest nVidia BETA driver (290.36). Reproducible crashes are GONE, BANISHED, FIXED. Get it here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-usWin 7 x64, go straight here: http://www.geforce.com/Drivers/Results/40030 This new 290 driver even adds Ambient Occlusion, which will make a major difference in shadow quality -- at a minor FPS expense. You can see the difference at the beta download page -- before/after images with a slider in the middle. Impressive, but it tends to peg my GPU more often.

eon1000 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Congratz! Hopefully AMD/ATI will have a fix too. So far 11.11b preview drivers don't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
