Re: TES 5: Skyrim
Patch 1.3 has made my Skyrim game frustrating to play now. I am consistently crashing to the desktop now. Anyone experience more problems with 1.3?

Re: TES 5: Skyrim
I haven't tried it yet, but that gives me a reason not to. Thanks, QC!
Speaking of Skyrim CTDing - yeah, this is unfortunately part-and-parcel of Bethesda games. When I played Oblivion, one of the things that irritated me the most is that you couldn't Alt+Tab to another file while in the game, or the game would instantly freeze on you. This was particularly irritating when I was trying to solve those Oblivion tower things, with the clock running down, and wasn't able to solve them without some sort of hint.
A similar thing happened to me only about 15 minutes ago - I was trying to do the "Horn of Jurgen Windcaller" quest, and I had just entered the final cave, and about to approach the horn, when... CTD. Ugh! I was ropable.

I've never had a crash in Morrowind or Oblivion. Twice in Skyrim, but it's still very new. And if you want to browse the web while playing, get Steam. The in-game GUI w/web browser is fantastic.

Yeah, it's not too bad. Very basic, but it works (although it seems a bit slow) and is useful if you need to browse the Internet during your game.MusicallyInspired wrote:I've never had a crash in Morrowind or Oblivion.

Re: TES 5: Skyrim
This is pretty amazing. This is exactly the reason why I really adore the Elder Scrolls series. Your only limit is your imagination (and the console ).
