Hello Everyone !

 

Just wanted to share my resolution to a problem that has been killing my game all week. I am running windows 8 x64 E on a fairly high end machine. So, I was thinking it was a compatibility problem. I upgraded my system to do some testing on applications for work, and of course with hearthfires' release it quickly reverted back to my gaming computer ;). So this may or may not help any of you, but I wanted to take a minute to share. The problem turned out to be video drivers if you use ATI cards the recommended drivers for Win 8 are 12.8 and 12.9. I went back to 12.1 which ATI states is for Win 7 and it cleared up all of my issues. The symptom that you will notice is first video artifacting then complete game lock up. Now i am running around 50 mods including "Warzones" and some other hungry ones with no problem.

 

Hope this helps some of you.
