Yamcakes Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) I hate to be "that guy" but you may have a physical defect in your Video RAM or RAM. If Skyrim isn't the only recently-released game which causes unexplained crashes to occur than you may consider replacing your RAM followed by your Video Card. And try RAM consistency checks/RAM swapping, etc. Its a reshipped desktop that just ran through a series of checks by the guy who built it. As well as checks done by myself to find any defects with the parts, no issue there... The only other game that crashes is Borderlands, though thats simply because i havent bothered to go through the fixes yet with that game, like the Runtime C++ Error. Perhaps that is a possibility, what you suggested, but I am just having a hard time accepting that in spite of my checking as well as factory checking is all. :V Edited November 27, 2011 by Yamcakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbarker Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 ... And suddenly, it's working again. I'm beginning to think that it may have been Steam server overload, or at least Steam related. I don't see why, after registering our legal copy of the the game, we can't play without having to be connected to the Internet. I would rather have this on my laptop, but I'm rarely in a place where I can get an online connection. Frankly, after all the hype, I'm disappointed with this rehash of Oblivion, its awkward UI, and the hoops Bethesda and Steam make us jump through just to play the game.
