Black Texture Issues

[nivea]

Alright I am tired of this issue.

 

I have a problem where any texture that is over 1024x1024 in any way can randomly turn black in game and causes me to crash, its not the textures fault I have it happen with my own textures as well.

I am currently up to date on patches (I am NOT useing the beta test patch), I have windows XP (because I have no money to buy anything new right now thank you very much) and I can run the game on all max settings and get around 60 FPS indoors and 50 FPS in cities and 40-60 FPS outdoors.

 

I know XP has a cap on RAM, but I can not image that is the problem with one 2048x2048 texture turning black and crashing me?

 

I am tired of scaleing all my nice high quality retextures back to 1024X1024, so any help would be great...

 

Oh and the 4GB patch that was on nexus DID work, but its no longer up for download or up to date.

aha yes, same thing happen with me, objects/items/armors/weapons that has more than 1024X1024 will mostly goes corrupt in game like turning into purple or black and white gradient in my second computer running WIN XP SP2, mostly happen with male face (Geonox HD male face), Glass armor (A highres 2048x Glass armor and weapons), my custom armor (curently using 2048 res too) and some objects....and yes, after that happen a minute or more, my skyrim goes poof aka ctd.

 

Pretty odd compared to FNV which i'm using several high res for stuffs but still run with no problem. Already tried to lower them my self into 1024, helped a bit but still sometimes it occured again..

 

Dont know for sure, but is it need some kind of archiveinvalidation just like FO3/FNV but for skyrim ? coz they are basicly same engine..
