Farlo Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) I'm starting to get pissed at this game, this is the 4th time it's completely wrecked itself. I was playing merrily and at a loading screen it was taking longer than usual (past a minute moving into a shop), then I got this weird "virtual memory" popup error and CTD. Now whenever I boot up the game (even to the main menu), all the textures are loaded as if they've been set to low. So I rebooted, logged into my admin account, killed all my startup programs and whatnot, deleted the INIs, and disabled all my mods through MO; at this point it's essentially a Vanilla copy of the game. I let the launcher auto-detect me to Ultra, ran the game, but I'm still having the same issue. Any ideas? Core i5 2500k @ 3.6Ghz8GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600MhzAMD Radeon 6870 DirectCU @ 950/1150Mhz EDIT: Apparently Skyrim didn't just kill itself, it took all my games with it. Battlefield 3, Guild Wars, Batman, and Metro 2033 all have the same issue. Edited January 9, 2012 by Farlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominionz Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Have you tried validating files in Steam? Also, don't suppose you remember the full Virtual memory error? Might want to check your swap file settings and make sure there's enough headroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did try validating them, but then I found out it happened in all of my other games as well, so I used DriverSweeper and rolled back from the 12.1a Preview drivers to the official 11.12 drivers, and that seems to have fixed it. I wish I did remember the error code, but I was too stupid to screencap it. With 8GB of RAM the Virtual Memory page says I have 8175MB allocated, is that enough?

Dominionz Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah that should be fine. Seems like the driver was the issue. Apparently a lot of people with Radeon cards are having issues with drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlo Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah, so I've learned recently. I switched over to an AMD card when they were the only ones with GDDR5 and I've noticed many more issues than before. Oh well, thanks a lot for your help!
