Do you have problems with Skyrim?

[bethruz]

I would like to ask you all how often do you have problems like crash to desktop, missing textures and so on in Skyrim?

I have played Skyrim for little over year now and my steam gameplay hours are little over 300 hours. Also played quite a bit offline. In my time with Skyrim it is quite common that after playing new game (fresh start), there is a point, when I start to get different problems. Crash to Desktop is is common problem and it appeare random places. I've also faced missing textures sometimes, but my quess is that it is a hardware problem.

I like to use mods when I play. It is also quite common that I add and remove them quite often. Usually at some point I have to make clear save to get rid of CTD-problem, which goes away for while and appear again at some point. This makes me think that the CTD-problem may be a cause of mods and that the saves gradually corrupt.

Earlier I also had problem of disappearing textures but as I said earlier my quess is that it was a hardware problem. It doesn't appear after I bought new graphic card.

Tell me about stability of your Skyrim experience and what kind of problems have you had on your path

Crashes happen but not often. Sometimes curious things can happen, things that are impossible to replicate.

As a fairly noob player in terms of mods and modding some small things I learned make a huge difference in stability when using mods.

1.Always clean save youre game.Don't load off of a "auto save.Auto saves ,save game info over and over the same file.This can cause major major issues,dirty saves and corrupt game files.
2.You need to be using BOSS for load order.it is basically fool proof(I am testament to thaT)
3.With CTD's check youre video card and simple things like heat issues.
4.Corupt files from #1 as stated aboce can cause CTD's even after you uninstall the mod that was causing the problem
5.make suere youre game and correspoding mods are up to date and matching versions.Very important with certain mods,SKSE and DL's

those really,realy simple things have helped me avoid a lot of problems.Alsop try not to instal-uninstal mods to often.If you do it a LOT it may be worth it to re-install Skyrim and DLC's.I do this via steam bwefore bed.Wake up,all done and any mods from the workshop are auto instaled so you just ned to re-instal mods from nexus and SKSE.
