bloodflyer Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 My Skyrim game crashes pretty consistently whenever I try to fast travel or just load up an area. It has the loading screen for a few seconds and then it just crashes to desktop without saying anything. The less mods i use the less it crashes but even with no mods it crashes about half the time probably. Any help to a solution would be awesome. Also textures are missing every once in a while but not too bad, i've heard its happening a lot. PS with every new patch they release it crashes more. i don't know why.

zheng Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) i don't know whats causing this but it started crashing an hour ago same as yours... at first i thought it would be the new mod i installed (lightweight axe/pickaxe)... now almost every loading screen it crashes to desktop. sometimes even when using the menu with inventory, map, magic. Edit: Maybe savegame issue ? i got up to 60 savegames now. Edited December 12, 2011 by zheng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodflyer Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 i dont have that many save games. and it still does it even with my low level character with small data save games. i've never crashed when using the map, character menu, or backpack before though. its mainly on loading screens and randomly it'll freeze up then crash a couple seconds later when i'm fighting a guy or running around. its totally random.

zheng Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 for now i've found out that whenever the game creates an autosave it crashes... so i turned autosaves off completely and it worked pretty good... then i tried to save manually and... landed on the desktop CTD. so i guess somethings trucked up the saving process... dunno what to do now, i'm not that kind of expert in those things.

bloodflyer Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 so whenever the game saves it f*#@s up in other words? cuz mine was always fine when i was quicksaving (F5) but yeah it seems just like fast traveling and quick saving might be it. i'll try that. how did you stop all autosaving?

zheng Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 you can disable it in Settings -> Gameplay -> unmark all those saves and raise the minutes for autosave on menu up until it says Disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tair Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 If you haven't already, try the 4GB launcher: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1013 There are a few comments about it not working post-1.3, but that hasn't been my experience. Without it, I crash any time I try to zone to an overworld area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zheng Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 i'm already using the 4GB launcher. without it it crashes like crazy. the launcher works fine. The game worked fine from release until 5 hours ago. Now i'm getting crashes whenever i save a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tair Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Have you installed any mods that are .esp files? If so, disable/delete them and try to backtrack several saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodflyer Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 what do .esp type files do? like what mods would they be in? cuz i've overwritten all of my save games while using some mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
