I generally don't use beta updates, but in this case I'm curious to see if:<br /><br />* General crash fixes and memory optimizations<br /><br />makes a difference.<br /><br />I can tell you though that since disabling TDR, the crashing is more video card focused; meaning the video goes out, but the sound continues and the keyboard still responds. Previously, it would go straight to a bad state.<br /><br />What I think is happening: the video card enters a bad state. Previously, TDR would kick in and try to recover the video card, which would cause it to hang. Now, it enters a bad state and just gets into a super bad state since TDR is not there to catch it.<br /><br />Naturally, I'm running more video card centered stress tests to see if I can get it to happen outside of Skyrim (I STILL have zero issues outside of Skyrim). <br /><br />If this turns out to be a bad video card, I will send a long mea culpa to the Bethesda Support folks as well as the other forums I've visited. If it turns out to be the "General crash fixes and memory optimizations" I will curse the Bethesda folks as I drink a beer. Then I'll send them a "tua culpa" email.Juan Miguel Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027659645575367269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969320787832284163.post-18834564020374671832012-03-16T11:44:29.072+00:002012-03-16T11:44:29.072+00:00Skyrim 1.5 came out on Steam last night (beta) and...Skyrim 1.5 came out on Steam last night (beta) and I got about 3 hours of straight play in. That's happened before, so I don't want to celebreate yet, but I'd love to hear if it changes your experience at all.Allanhttp://movingsky.canoreply@blogger.com
