Seems I'm frequenting the PC forums these days with problems, eh? Thanks for your help everybody so far.
My newest issue (well, not so new) is CTD's whenever I open the journal. Not every time, more like its a 50/50 shot. I thought it was just if I open when enemies show up, but I just tried to open in it in quiet little Morthal and my game was just like "nah man, not today." Among other frequent CTDs i get, I've found that this has become a pattern. Has anyone else experienced this?
