Ukjamieuk Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Pretty much, I continuously Crash at various points throughout Skyrim. Currently at a shack in the middle of nowhere. I have an ATI Radeon 6950 , And I know it's not a Graphically Error, as I tried the game on Ultra, Low , and it doesn't affect it. In depth my game will freeze, Audio can still be heard until it Crashed to desktop, When it does I am informed that my Display driver has failed and Recovered. I've tested other games and have not encountered the same problem as this. Is anyone else having a problem similar to this? Anyone know how to fix this? Or is it a wait until ATI Fix it problem?Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaB Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I have a 6670 card and it is freezing up with Display Driver has failed and recovered error messages. I've watched the opening video, but haven't even made it through selecting a character. Tried 4 times, 4 system crashes. Have tried at the lowest video settings. It makes no difference. I'm using the ATI drivers released yesterday, 11/11/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvniko Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Interesting... I got the XFX HD 6770 running at 55 - 64 fps. I have no graphical errors or display lag but I do have horrible mouse lag (I tried the .ini fixes and they did absolutely nothing). Are you guys having a problem with the mouse lag as well? I made it up to the first room where you get your initial weapons and then decided it's unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaB Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 My card is the XFX HD 6670. No mouse lag, but then again, I haven't been able to play the game at all. Can't get through the character selection before getting a gray screen with vertical lines. Sometimes it will reset and I can get a bit further, then it comes back and hangs.

Lisnpuppy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I had this happen and it said I was overclocking too much. Are you overclocking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaB Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 No. I'm running it as it came out of the box. Everything else runs fine on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaB Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Just attempted to run the game in 1280x720 window mode, all settings at their lowest. Same end result. Display driver amdkmdap has failed and recovered. That happened 3 times and the game recovered and continued. On the 4th, it closed the Skyrim window.

DanaB Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I uninstalled Catalyst and used Windows Update to get the older driver from Microsoft. I think it was dated from June, 2011. This worked a bit better but ultimately crashed with the same problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaB Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I reinstalled the latest AMD Catalyst on top of the older Microsoft drivers. Then I went in and played with some of the settings, moving a few from performance to mid-quality. And I slightly underclocked the GPU, from 800Mhz to 780Mhz. Now the game works fine! Even at full 1920x1080 with 2AA. I will continue to play with the settings to see what specifically is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
