Also, it has a tendency to have a corrupted file that causes it to show "loading Fallut (blah blah blah)" indefinitely, and never actually launches the game - verifying the game cache and downloading a very small file fixes that, but the problem repeats from time to time - but I don't think those two are connected.
Oh, and literally the same day this crash happened (thus preventing me from moving any further in the game), I lost over an hour of gameplay in Skyrim thanks to saves not saving. Good going, Bethesda
