monty055 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 So besides small occurrences in Skyrim, I have pin pointed the fact that I can not go to Riften without my game freezing! Anyone know if this would be a glitch that will be fixed in oatching or if it something I need to reinstall Skyrim to remedy? I can do just about anything else but it will not let me travel close to Riften, and I am not even able to take the carriage into the town with a load in, freezes every time.

Uzibeatle Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yikes. I was hoping we wouldnt' see these sorts of bugs but I guess it ws too much to hope for. I've yet to run into this sort of issue on my Skryim game but I remember Fallout NEw Vegas could get so hosed similarthings would happen. Most of that garbage was fixed but in much later patches... i mean like six months post release. Did you try a older save game? My only suggestion is to keep a series of backlog saves. Something became corrupted and hopefullyyoui can backtrace to one that isn't corrupted. Having said that, I recall why I quit playing Fallout NEw Vegas in December 2010.. however when I returned to FNV in about July 2011 thatgame was MUCH better by then and I enjoyed it up until very recently. Not much help I know. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty055 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah, it is all characters for all my save states, even if I start a brand new character I try to run to Riften and freeze at the lake, Try to travel into Riften in a carriage, freezes up.

Siegfriedm Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'm in the beginning of the game but I have tried just for testing it. Well, for me don't freeze, but the zones near Riften make fps going low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzibeatle Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Yeah, it is all characters for all my save states, even if I start a brand new character I try to run to Riften and freeze at the lake, Try to travel into Riften in a carriage, freezes up. I was on the Beth official forums late last night and cruised into a post there by otherswith similar issues. It appears there is a general crash bug affecting many that revolves around Riften. Some posts I saw said it seemed to have to do with killing the Riften dragon and that is when the crashes started whengoing to Riften. EDIT: I also saw posters there commenting on the FPS drop in taht region as well. I guess just notify Bethesda with details as it appears a wide spread bug alright. Maybe they can fix the next patch cycle. I'll try to travel there today with my character and report what happens. Mine has not killed the dragon yet. I think I'll hope to avoid it for now.

Siegfriedm Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 monty have you tried to use Large Address Aware here http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=202 ? For me, this was very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antibengz Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Monty have you come across a solution for this problem yet? I'm running into the same issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretStash Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) So I've put 70+ hours into this game already. I had a couple CTDs on first launch (ver 1.1) that I remedied with 4GB LAA. I had zero CTDs since, up until the 1.2 patch. That was a horrible detour, and after a day of tweaking I got reverted back to 1.1 and was able to game for another 40+ hours. Just today, my steam client decided to start telling me that "Skyrim is not ready to be run in offline mode." despite the fact that moments earlier I was playing it in offline mode. So I went online and allowed Steam to update to 1.3, bypassing the dreaded 1.2 altogether. I also updated my ATI drivers and my antivirus while I was at it. Once it was all done I wanted to play again. My 4gb didn't work any more due to the update, but I figured I'd give the real deal a try. Launched fine. I played for about 20 min, and as I was approaching Ivarsted/Riften, boom, CTD. I thought, oh, okay, random. Gave it another go, same spot, boom, CTD, no error messages or anything just poof, gooodbye Skyrim. I then thought okay I need to get 4gb up and running again. Did it and went back in game, boom CTD, same area as I'm approaching Riften/Ivarsted. After tweaking many different settings that I've seen discussed in various Skyrim forums, both official and unofficial, I've wound up back here. I'm certain that the issue is not hardware or mod related but has to do with an issue in Skyrim's script/save system. I'm not looking forward to giving up on this character (I already restarted once after the 1.2 patch debacle) but fear that it may be my only option at this point. Skyrim has declared that I 'shall not pass' into Riften. I've tried 4gb LAA tweaks, Audio tweaks, lowered video tweaks, reverting back to 1.1. Nothing helps.I've yet to go backward through my saves to see if I have an earlier one to which I can enter the area, because I have a bad habit of primarily using quicksave only, so it can be hours+ in between regular saves. Even if I have one that works I'm tempted to just restart altogether. I hope this can be addressed by Bethsoft and remedied. Even if they can't salvage my save I want to know that it won't happen again. Update: so whatever poison this is, has infected all my saves, not just the ones for this character, but all of them. Now I hesitiant to even start a new character until I know hwat is going on in Riften/Ivarsted. Edited December 14, 2011 by SecretStash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretStash Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Further update: So I've circumvented this problem. I validated my files with steam and it replaced 3 files. I then started up via steam. My original characters are goners, still crashing in the same spot, but I started a new character and got a CTD before completing the escape from Helgen. This made me think that despite it always occurring in that one spot with all my other characters, there's also something else happening. I quit and restarted using 4GB LAA, Now I got past the new CTD spot, but was getting random CTD every 20 minutes or so. I quit again and put steam back into offline mode, launched via 4GB and haven't had a crash since. I've even resumed heavily modding my game and am giving Dragon Script a try. So happy to be playing again. Hopefully this can help you get playing again, even if it doesn't repair your current game. BTW, I never mentioned my specs in case you're wondering: Biostar TH67B Mobo (Realtek onboard audio using 5.1 surround)i5-2500K @ 3.30GHz16.0GB G.Skill DDR3-1333 RAMWin 7 - 64Bit120GB Intel SSD1TB WD HDDASUS DVDR/RWMemorex DVDR/RWThermaltake Toughpower XT 750W PSUVisionTek AMD Radeon HD 6950Antec 900 case (w/ 3 extra 120mm xigmatek XLF fans)3 x 22" LCD in Eyefinity (Though until the menus are fixed I'm playing @ 1920x1080) Now running Skyrim 1.3.7 in offline mode via Skyrim 4GB w/ LAA option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8films Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Very unique. I lost a lvl62 character last night, having to start all over, that I'd created under 1.0 on the release date. I had so many corrupted cells in my Worldspace that it was maddening. I kept looking for a way to reset cell status via console but the best I ever found was "rw" which is reset world. And thats a killer. I dunno if being offline would have helped me (I dont see the logic in it) but im willing to try it if it happens again with my new guy.
