athmystikal Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Game freezes when I try to read certain books. I can still hear the sounds in background and the mouse pointer moves correctly. But there is no response from the game for whatever I do. So I have to use Alt+Ctrl+Del to get out. It happens all the time no matter where I am or which quest I am in. But it happens with only certain books. Books that are giving me problems:Whiteruns's home decoration guide,Lost Legends,A Gentleman's Guide to Whiterun,The Holds of Skyrim,The woodcutter's wife.. thats all I can remember for now. If you see these books on the floor or in a shelf, they all have a faded brown cover. If you put any of these books in your inventory (which is very difficult, as when you pick up the book, game freezes. However, 'Whiteruns's home decoration guide' is added to invertory automatically) and then browse the list of books, when you select(hover) any of the above mentioned books, there is no preview on the right side. Also once you select(hover) one of the above books, and try to read any other books/notes afterewards, the game freezes. Here is a screenshot in which you can see what these books look likehttp://img52.imageshack.us/img52/6660/tesv2012011613023650.jpg This happens with every instances of these books in the game world. Also if you put these books in your inventory by looting a dead body, you cannot use quick saves after this. so if you were in a cave and you got one of these books in your inventory, trying to get out will fail (I guess this is because game tries to do an auto-save). I have copy-pasted the Data/Skyrim - Textures.bsa file from a friends installation, which was working. But it did not help. I also tried to unpack the entire textures/clutter/books folder from the bsa file. That did not help either. I have not seen any other artifacts (such as missing textures) or anything yet. And I can read every other books without any issue. I don't want to re-download the entire game once again. So if you can point-out some files, I can download them only or copy-paste those from a friends installation. I have all the latest patches. Please help me.

athmystikal Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 *BUMP* BTW, I am not using any modds or high resolution texture packs. The game uses only the default files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
