Murkrow900 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hey guys I've recently bought the Dawnguard DLC and I have been playing it since it got out and I'm just about to finish it. But one day when i woke up, took a shower got my breakfast and sat down to play I all of a sudden got really bad FPS lagg . Like it was totally skippy and hacky so i could barely walk straight without lagging like crazy. I am using the following mods and here are my specs. Note I usually play on ULTRA but now when i think about it all my settings seem to have been reseted? How do i know? Well my subtitles options were disabled and they're usually always enabled. So perhaps some option that was disabled before got enabled ? Please help me out. All answers are god like appreciated.

Murkrow900 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Please help I'm panicking here ;(. There's no reason for this lagg I just don't understand :(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonar Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Have any programs running in the background that you forgot about? Any scheduled system maintenance that could be running (defrag, antivirus, etc)? Not sure what would cause lag like that out of nowhere. You didn't change anything yourself? How big are your save files (located in C:\Users\[userName]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murkrow900 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 8.34 gb. ANd no i didn't change anything :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabbykitteh Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 One suggested cause would be Sounds of Skyrim. Cliffworms has hidden it for now because it was causing problems with save game bloat, lag, etc. This thread might help. Bben (one of the board moderators here) has a really good troubleshooting guide here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murkrow900 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Solved guys! I did what thompsonar pretty much said. Clear saves. I deleted all but 3 of em and that removed it. Thank you so much & thanks for all fast respnoses! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlcr Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Murkrow900, if Steam got access to Skyrim and automatically updated from patch v1.6 to v1.7this might explain your settings getting reset and the sudden unexplainable lag. Do you normally have Steam blocked?Have you tried loading an earlier gamesave?Have you looked at your INI settings for any changes?Do you keep a backup of your Skyrim game/profile folders?Have you tried using system restore on the Skyrim folder?Have you tried verifying your game cache?Is your Windows OS set to automatically update?Do you have autosave turned on?
