Tirick Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have 60+ hours into the game now, and I'm finding it crashing to desktop every few minutes now. I played the first 20+ hours without a single CTD. Steadily however, they seem to be getting worse and worse, mostly randomly with running reasonably well for 20-30 minutes before a dump to desktop. I've found fast travel a particular risk, but just changing cells might be at the root of it. My Cores (3x 3.2 AMD's) temperatures never exceed 48 C or so, my video card (GT 240 1Gig) never exceeds 50 C. I've changed no settings since I started, which is 'high' with slightly reduced AA and AF. Any suggestions on what is causing this? The changelog for the upcoming patch does not seem to mention random CTD's, so I may be on my own with this. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am going to try and backup my saves, and start with a new character and see if that effects the stability. I wonder if the savegame bloat issue on the PS3 is creeping into the PC saves and causing stability problems. I'm on savegame # 900 or so, with the same character I started on. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you,Tirick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperTheLich Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 i guess i've noticed the same issue on my end. ctds seem to be coming on more frequently. it's more like they happen in waves though. i can go a few hours just fine then i get like 5 or 6 in rapid secession, some just minutes apart.

BloodyVikings Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Yeah, it's getting worse for me too. I'm seriously starting to dislike Bethesda a lot for their buggy games :wallbash: Edited November 30, 2011 by BloodyVikings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow56 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Many folks are reporting this problem. It is posted in different parts of the forums. I don't think it is a video card issue but a game bug issue. I have the same problem. Updated my video driver for my ATI Random 5700 since sometimes that will fix graphic issues in a new game. Still having the same problem as you all are. Of course Beth has not addressed this issue at all yet states it is constantly monitoring the forums. The new patch due out on the 30th is a joke. It is fixing insignificant issues and not the more important ones folks are reporting and complaining about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirick Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) With the patch coming today it will be hard to have a longer-term empirical test, but in the two hours I played last night, about 1/2 was in my 'old' game and I had 6-8 CTD's. The other 1/2 was in a new game, with no crashes at all. At least I'm not alone here, which gives me hope that they will eventually fix this.
