otaviomad Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I bought the bethesda pack on steam this christmas, and the first thing I downloaded was skyrim. It works well, 30-40 fps, but after around 30 minutes it just closes. No error, no freeze. Just closes. I have 3 GB of ram, so the 4GB mod isn't the solution. Can someone please help, this is getting really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidzebra Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've gotta say, a vanilla skyrim (updated to the latest over steam) for me always has been a fairly stable experience. It's only when I started wantonly modding that things went pear-shaped :thumbsup: The latest skyrim versions are already LAA aware so the 4 GB mod is obsolete anyway, and 3 GB of RAM - OS and other running programs = not a lot of breathing room for skyrim (although I've rarely seen it go over the 2GB mark on my rig, even with lots of mods). What's more crucial is plenty of video ram - especially when you've installed texture packs/mods. On lower-end systems tweaking the game quality settings to more moderate standards also helps.

otaviomad Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Using razer game booster(or synapse) worked. Played for 2 hours straight with no crashes, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomSawyer Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) One problem is if Skyrim is running on XP 32bit and in the bootini is NOT 3GB enabled the game will crash after a while. Just for the info. Edited January 5, 2013 by TomSawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not use razer game booster, it will bug out your OS explorer.exe (especially windows 7) , and if you are laging in skyrim, turn of antialiasing (all it does is smooth edges a little bit, but it is BARELY noticeable!) because antialiasing takes a huge chunk of your fps.
