I had an issue when I last heavily played Skyrim a year ago, I would be grateful for feedback on.
Every time I played Skyrim, starting a fresh with a new character, I found it would be 100% stable until about 80 to 90 hours in, where by it would start crashing every hour or two. The crashes could be anywhere outside, just wondering around Skyrim. I re-rolled 3 times and each time I'd get 80 to 90 hours in and stability would suddenly become an issue.Where by I'd go from no crashes at all to one every hours or two.
Yes my skyrim was graphically modded but done correctly with sorted load orders etc and none of them were scripted. I also played with the unofficial patches, official patches and all dlc. Incidentally I found my save files had just got to around 9mb to 10mb in size when the stability issues hit. But from all my research at the time, that file size was normal and certainly did not appear to be bloated. So my conclusion was after 3 attempts, that the late game of Skyrim was just buggy and induced stability problems.
Was I wrong and if so what could have been the cause? Could it have been the unofficial patches? Should I just retry with no mods at all? Can anyone confirm 100%, that vanilla does not show these symptoms after 80 to 90 plus hours?
I'd like to return to Skyrim but not if its going to always become unstable, just when my toon starts to get into the higher levels. If people are playing several hundred hours of Skyrim with 100% stability, then I may return, totally mod free and without the unofficial patches. But at a 90 hours test marker I'm apprehensive of it all being a waste of time.
Win 7 64 bit and usual high end kit btw.
Cheers for feedback/thoughts.
