game never crashed on me till this patch...happens when i fast travel to riften...mess around a bit then boom crash any1 else having similar problem or know whats up?

Is it only riften? If it is then that's a really easy fix.

how would u go about fixing this problem?

I crash after 3 minutes no matter what I do or where I go. The game never crashed for me before. Pathetic.

mine never crashes. hmm wonder what the problem is. is your disc scratched perhaps? that is if you need the disc..... :unsure2:

This is about the PC version correct? I've been crashing every 10 minutes or so. I don't think the console version is even at 1.3 yet.

Man am I glad I'm still on the original exe. I almost never get CTDs. I got a few before teh 4 gig patch, but they have virtually disappeared. I'm terrified to update. Which means using esps may be a problem unless there's another app like OMM for Skyrim. If I open the launcher to click on the esps, it'll bloody force the steam patch again, and bugger up by game.

I did get a black screen on PC yesterday evening after leaving the general shop in Whiterun. The game locked up.

Only had one crash due to the sound settings at launch. Changed the setting and never crashed or locked up since in 40+ hours of play. Until the latest patch.

I often crash at fasttravel as well. It's not only Riften though, and after a reload its mostly fine. I also get random(although they do sometimes return when walking the same path again) crashes walking through the scenery, Skyrim just closes in a few milliseconds back to desktop. No hanging or lag, just an instant shut-down.

I can check it on Console right now, if there is an update and it crashes...

I've not had any crashes yet but I have had issues with my character's stats getting shagged by leveling up (magicka gets changed to 50 instead of 100 base) and character model getting all fubar coming out of werewolf form.

I normally play at a steady and stable 35-45 FPS. But Riften got in down to an avarage 22. The hell is up with that?
I grieved my visit there during the MQ, and it's normally my second favorite city.
