22ghoolio Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Ive had 360 hours of crash free play,but its just started crashing every 5 mins.Ive got a few mods running as well,but since I installed one the of the ENB graphic enhancements mods Ive had hassle.Only thing was it didnt start crashing straight away,I must have got a good 2 hours using the mod till the problem started.I think I have deleted everything to do with the mod but its still crashing,so later on Im gonna try running it with no mods and turn em on one by one to see whats happening.But if I have to reinstall the game will I loose my save? if I will where are my saves kept so I can at least move em before I reinstall.Or is there anything else I can try before I reinstall? downloading all my mods again is gonna take ages. cheers!

maboru Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 With a standard install your saves are in Documents/My Documents/My Games/Skyrim/Saves. You can copy that folder to a temp file and copy it back after a reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsnider193 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Also double check the size of your saves .. lots of discussion over on the Beth forums about crashes when save size gets over 15MB. INFO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22ghoolio Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 cheers guys! Ive reinstalled the game but kept my saves and its still crashing even with no mods.Ive tried different saves and deleted older saves but still no joy.Im guessing my saves have somehow broken,any chance of fixing em or am I screwed??? or any other suggestions??

maboru Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You may be up against the save game bloat bug then. it seems that when save games get to large (>17mb or so) that the game just keeps crashing. Try loading a much older save or starting a new game and see if you have the same problem. Once the next patch and/or the CK is released this issue should be addressed.

Ankokuu Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have also experienced the same thing but my saves are about 10mb. Any idea what causes this? Sometimes it crashes in a few minutes or 2-3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
