Skyrim freezes when I try to read certain books?
Game freezes when I try to read certain books. I can still hear the sounds in background but mouse pointer freezes. And there is no response from the game for whatever I do. So I have to use Alt+Ctrl+Del to get out. It happens all the time no matter where I am or which quest I am in. But it happens with only certain books. Books that are giving me problems: Whiteruns's home decoration guide, Lost Legends, A Gentleman's Guide to Whiterun, The Holds of Skyrim, The woodcutter's wife .. thats all I can remember for now. If you see these books on the floor or in a shelf, they all have a faded brown cover. If you put any of these books in your inventory (which is very difficult, as when you pick up the book, game freezes. However, 'Whiteruns's home decoration guide' is added to invertory automatically) and then browse the list of books, when you select(hover) any of the above mentioned books, there is no preview on the right side. Also once you select(hover) one of the above books, and try to read any other books/notes afterewards, the game freezes. Here is a screenshot in which you can see what these books look like http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/6660/tesv2012011613023650.jpg This happens with every instances of these books in the game world. Also if you put these books in your inventory by looting a dead body, you cannot use quick saves after this. so if you were in a cave and you got one of these books in your inventory, trying to get out will fail (I guess this is because game tries to do an auto-save). I have copy-pasted the Data/Skyrim - Textures.bsa file from a friends installation, which was working. But it did not help. I also tried to unpack the entire textures/clutter/books folder from the bsa file. That did not help either. I have not seen any other artifacts (such as missing textures) or anything yet. And I can read every other books without any issue. I don't want to re-download the entire game once again. So if you can point-out some files, I can download them only or copy-paste those from a friends installation. The only other problem I have with skyrim is that I cannot enter a particular cave. It just freezes when I try to enter it. So is this related to the known problems with large save files? System specs: Intel Core2 Quad Q9550, 4 GB DDR2 800MHZ, GTX 570 1.2GB, 500GB HDD
Skyrim crashes whenever I try to go to Markarth. Help?
It's not the graphics. I've been there before. I spent about an hour there with no problems, but when I... -try to load my save in Markarth -try to fast travel to Markarth -try to enter the gate to Markarth ...the game crashes, no error message, not "stopped responding." Just closes. It really hates Markarth. I has crashed before, but in random places, not the same one over and over again. What the hell, Bethesda? Anyone else had this problem?
Is there a cure for stage 4 vampire in Skyrim..HELP ME PLEASE!!!!?
There is two cures, good luck (Spoiler Alert) Conventional method First you need to speak with an innkeeper/bartender. Select the rumour speech options. This will lead you to Falion in Morthal. Do this covertly because people will attack you. Do not become a full vampire or this will not work, he will try and kill you. He will tell you of a ritual that will cure you. A “filled black soul gem” is needed. Buy it from him or find one. Fill it with a humanoid person. Then meet Falion to cure yourself. This should take 1-2 days. You can do this quest every time you get infected. (Spoiler Alert) (Spoiler Alert)Lycanthropy Method. (Spoiler Alert) Becoming a Werewolf will also cure you. You can become a werewolf through the companion story line. I hope this helped.
Why does Steam keep updating every time I open it? How do I fix it?
You might want to check if you've opted in to the Beta program. Open your user preferences, on the first tab (I forget what it's called), you should see a drop-down menu labeled 'Beta programs' or something similar. Change it to None if you don't want the constant updating.
Skyrim Modding Help! Read all.?
Okay so I am on ps3 and I mod games pretty often. usb mods...Now I am trying to mod my game save of Skyrim and I am having trouble decrypting the save file. I thought I could just decrypt it with "Brute Force Save Data" but when i do I then put it through HeX editor. When I do that I see alot of stuff that I think I am supposed to see. My characters name and the save and time played. Now when I edit something and then re-encrypt it with Brute Force again it works. But when I go and try to put the save on my ps3 it wont play the save file. It says that it is version 0 and it needs to be version 9. So I get pretty shitty. I keep looking it up online and trying to find a cause but I cannot find an answer. All I can find is other peoples save... Its skyrim. Its pretty customized for me.. why the hell would I want your save right? Anyway I looked up that I am supposed to decrypt the save file with this "Skyrim ps3 toolkit GUI" But when I put my save into the decrypt thingy it just sits there... and doesnt do a single damn thing. Am i using that program wrong? Am i supposed to be doing something else with the program? Is there something else i should use? And Does anyone know the Hex code for magic I cannot seem to find it anywhere... thanks.
Skyrim: Mage vs Warrior vs Thief?
For me I would say the Thief/Assassin is amazing. I started playing is a normal warrior with heavy armor and two handed weapons and because of this I would just run into battle and get killed a lot. I ended getting to level 10 and got bored. I then chose to play as the assassin as that sneaky kind of gameplay really suites me and I find it awesome. With my Assassin I have found the game a lot more fun and challenging without being frustrating. My build Khajiit Main skills: Sneak/Archery/One handed weapons/Light armour/Pickpocket/Resteration As a assassin you should be trying to stay out of big group fights and instead take the out 1 by 1 quickly and quietly. The bow for long range Dagger for upclose stealth One handed sword for fights I also use a shield for protection but if you feel this is un-assassin like you could just go duel weapons. For assassins you should play the the Dark Brotherhood and thieves guild quests P.S pickpocket 98% ******* rules never need to by arrows again
I am thinking of getting Skyrim. Should I start with the original or Elder Scrolls V?
So, you are trying to get into Elder scrolls, There are 6 major installements in this franchise. Each game is set in a unique fantasy world with interconnected lore.The ideal way is to play in the order of release.1994 - The Elder scrolls : Arena 1996 - The Elder scrolls II : Daggerfall2002 - The Elder scrolls III : Morrowind2006 - The Elder scrolls IV : Oblivion2011 - The Elder scrolls V : Skyrim2014 - The Elder scrolls online : TamrielBut the problem is that the older games, especially Arena and Daggerfall are a bit too old to play. So most of the people start with ESV : Skyrim because it is, has a great lore and progression. So there is a lot of fan base for Skyrim compared to other games.Most of the people play in the following order Skyrim > Oblivion > Morrowind, and then read the lore of Arena and DaggerfallIn conclusion, its better to start off with Skyrim, because its gameplay is better than the prequels and if you feel uninterested in ES you will still be left with bigger fanbase and community to share your experience.
