Skyrim crashes to desktop when loading new game.

[ChrisElf]

Hey guys :)

 

So when i open Skyrim, i click 'new game', then klick 'yes'

And it starts loading.

The text on the bottom right, fog coming from down and a big dragon statue in the middle,left.

And it slowly zooms out and in...

And then, after some loading, it just crashed to my desktop.

 

See, my os is Linux Ubuntu(11.10), but Skyrim does work on Linux. A lot of people have this problem that i have, but i haven't found the solution.

 

Do i need to put some Updates, patches or what ? If so, then please give me the link also.

 

Specs:

 

Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 P340

Video card: Ati Mobility Radeon HD 4250

Hard disk: 320 GB HDD

RAM: 3GB DDR3 Memory

 

So please give me solutions how to solve this .

I have also read that i have to change the sound to 44.1Hz or something like that, but i can't find a place to change that in Linux.

There is some sound place but there are dB's or whatever.

 

Thanks ahead ! :)

Bump!

Doing a quick bump because i'm going off to sleep and this thread will just get lost because of the active posting, and this thread hasn't had much attention :D

So i hope you guys help me ! :)

I don't think there too many Linux users here. Only advice I could give would be to dual boot with Windows and set up a Steam account.

Yes, but how to dual boot?

I have to download Win7 then because i can't buy it, and it seems like dual booting is confusing :D And i don't wanna screw things up on my laptop.

Dual booting is apparently not necessary for running Skyrim on Ubuntu. WineHQ

 

NOTE #1: You will have better luck going to a Linux forum for this kind of help. The vast majority here use Windows of some sort.

 

NOTE #2: Wine stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator"...which means it is not illegal to use Wine for Windows-based applications. It is also funny that it includes itself in the abbreviation. :)
