4GB Skyrim

[RDJim]

I just downloaded the 4GB Skyrim application in hopes that it fixes my problem with textures turning black (or pink) and mostly to fix the frequent crashes to desktop. I'm running in Win7 on a i7 2600, GTX580 with 12GB RAM.

 

The README.txt says that I should just run Skyrim4GB.exe to launch the game regardless of where I unzipped the 4GB files.

1. Does 4GB modify any of my existing Skyrim files?

2. Do I need to run Skyrim4GB.exe to launch the game every time? or

1. Does 4GB modify any of my existing Skyrim files? So that next time I just run like I do now?

 

3. I've read this is a cure for the crashing to desktop. Could this also be a cure the the HD Textures going black?

 

Thanks all who can provide some insight before I launch into something I can't undo.

i use it and love it it fixed all my problems with crashes. but the graphic problems is your card is overheating u will need to get more cold air in the computer.

the program dont change any files. and u have to use it to start the game every time. that part sucks but its worth it.

 

 

 

u have to have steam up and the very first start game for skyrim but dont start the game there. then u start the 4gb exe and the game will start

Thanks for the replies. I've been using 4GB Syrim for many hours now and it has solved all my problems, even the texture glitches.

Okay, I have 4gb skyrim installed and it has worked perfectly for quite a while but recently I find my skyrim to be crashing about 10x more often, such as two or so loading screens and my skyrim crashes. It seems to fix itself if I fast travel to whiterun and visit my house but only for a while. Any ideas? I know I am kind of derailing but since this topic for 4gb skyrim already exists I thought I would post here.
