I really wanted to get Skyrim on PC but mine just cant handle it.  I got it on XBOX 360 and just finished playing all the way through for the first time.  These style games along with the fallout games are by far the best games for the price.

Steam has the bethsadia pack right now for 50 bucks. 4 Brink, 7 Fallout, Hunted, and Skyrim.

They actually have a bunch of publisher bundle packs for 50 bucks right now.  Looks like they all end in 30hours from now, 6:30am EST.

So true.

I wish my PC would stop crashing when I play. Idk why but it's been doing it a lot lately and I can't even reformat to see if it would fix it. -_-

Hmm, what kind of crashes?

I've luckily never had a crash in the game (even with 30+ mods), but I only have a Radeon 5570, which is mediocre for Skyrim. It runs everything on High at 20-30FPS at 1600x900 resolution (my max is 1920x1080). Doesn't lag a lot but it does in outdoor areas where there is a lot of trees. I can't wait till Xmas season for a new GPU. Radeon 6850 is what I'm looking forward to.  :aok

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Screen goes black (like a driver crash) and pretty much turns off at which point the sound will sometimes instantly loop (fast loop) and others I can continue to talk to people on Ventrilo for up to 5 minutes.

Does it happen at a specific point in the game or randomly?

random

and from what I've seen it's not a heating issue.



Sometimes I can play for hours and it not crash. Other times it crashes nearly 10 minutes into the game and will crash constantly.

Hmmm..I'm stumped then.  :frown:

Memory problems? Audio problems maybe? If its the latter, disable sounds in the .ini file (quick google search will tell you how), and play for a bit and see if it crashes. If it does, then it's not audio, if it doesn't, then audio is your problem.

I'll have to try that.



I did notice that when I overclock it lessens the frequency.

If you want entertainment, read all the threads out there that appeared today; the assumed release date for Dawnguard for the PC and PS3. Some of the the whines on other forums makes make the community in Aces High look like mature mediocrity.

One of them really cracked me up, "I thought gaming was about fulfilling hope and dreams and not about money!"   Are kids really that stupid today they think a gaming company like Bethesda is more akin to 'Make a Wish' foundation and aren't interested in money?   :rofl

the skyrim.exe is locked to using only 2gigs of memory and there is a mod out there that allows you to change it to use 4 or more gigs of memory.  It helped a lot of people that were suffering crashes like you described.

They fixed that months ago, unless they broke it again with the last patch or two.

Well it does it for all my games. Even ones that aren't very intense...like R:TW.  :uhoh
