Can someone explain briefly how LAA works? I have seen in the past where Skyrim seems to hit an artificial ceiling at 2GB on my system right before it crashes. I assume this will raise that ceiling.

No more memory bottleneck meaning game not running out of it and crashing or performing as bad.
No, what they've done is flip a bit in the executable header which tells windows that the game can deal with more than 2GB of addressable memory. The same thing the 4GB loader did. People that for some reason refused to use the loader should love this, it reduced my crash rate by 100%.

If a memory leak is still occurring, is it possible that even with LAA, a person with 4GB on a 64-bit system will get CTDs, but just at a much lesser rate? In other words, does anything prevent tesv.exe from taking more memory than it needs?
Oh right, I wasn't really clear on the wording of the update notes as to whether they made it possible to alter the .exe, or if they'd made it so you no longer needed to even bother. I had no problem using the 4GB loader, but it's cool not to have to bother now.

I don't think it's save file size. The total is 115MB and for that specific save it's only 17MB. Still, it could be worse, I could be playing on a PS3!

Fist Bump.
The first decent one. Finally made me want to boost my pickpocket score to 100.
No pants for anyone.
Really? You measured that, what did you get before?
Once again I'm getting shit all from the patches and am stilling running around at 20fps in the cities.

50 at the top and 60 throughout the town... it ran good always. 4 crashes in 100 hours. But I instantly could tell from the patch. Game run awesome now.

No change on my end but it's nice to know that the Christmas crowd will have a smoother experience now that LAA has been added. A pity that they did not adjust the "Ultra" shadow settings. Having landscape and tree shadows enabled seems to make the biggest difference in visual quality while the high to ultra change just seems to create a poor first impression.

I think part of what I find so much fun about Skyrim this time is the sheer brilliance of some of the mods and the way that they enhance the game for me.
If there is something I don't particularly like the look of or the functionality of in the game, change it to suit myself. Every morning I wake up, go to SkyrimNexus and find a bunch of new mods.
I'm up to 183 installed mods now (that's a bit excess but that's the total). Plus Post Processing, SKSE, Script Dragon.
Being involved in this whole thing from the very start has been exhilarating and fun. I love following the STEP updates and choosing which of them I want to use. I love the fact that there are so many people creating their own desires for different skins for different armours and such. It's just awesome.
My character is now almost the perfect female paladin that I have almost always imagined playing as. I play as a mixed ranger / close combat with an emphasis on stealth, so you could say I'm a 'light rogue'. I'm a hidden thief, I steal things and a lot of things, but only when I'm sure I can't be caught.
I'm just infatuated with this game simply exploring the land itself is so fun, then with everything else... it's just, ultimate!

I wish I felt like that about Bethesda games... they just don't do it for me.

Nice to see they added the 4GB option via patch. Now I don't have to worry if it's actually working!
WahooO!
WahooO!
I'm the same although I have way less mods (around 25).
Don't see why some people have an aversion to mods. Mods are amazing. More games should have them.
It breaks SKSE, though a new version is coming out in the next day or so.
What is SKSE?
Skyrim Script Extender? But what does it do?
It exposes extra scripting functionality to mods. An example is that SkyUI uses it to find out item attributes (like whether something is enchanted) that aren't passed through by default to the user interface.
Well it does probably rule out the possibility that memory fragmentation and allocation errors were the cause of your crashes.
Wow that is a lot of mods! I'm kind of surprised you can find that many quality ones.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
This issue I mentioned back when I tried the 4GB launcher also happens to me with the official 4GB patch now (and no other mods used atm), except it's a bump down. I might have been mistaken and it was such before too, I didn't take screenshots back then, I just stopped using the launcher, which isn't an option this time. It's another very distracting in motion thing alongside all the other LOD crap in the game. I get it with maxed in the launcher distance LOD settings so I don't think it's supposed to happen this close (especially since moving backwards again, even a lot further than the point the switch occured in, doesn't make it switch back after that) and I never noticed it before this patch either, while it happens with every single light now. I took two pairs of screenshots demonstrating it, you can clearly see the change in lighting after just a single step toward the light. Open each pair in the same window in different tabs and switch between the same area's screenshots for easier viewing.

Is it a known issue or am I the only one who sees/gets it again, same as the 4GB launcher issue? I'm using a GTX285 with the latest WHQL drivers, same as before.

Great, the new patch has killed the game for me... DAMMIT i should have turned off automatic updating :/ i need to roll the game back to version 1.3
Any idea how?

"The milieu excites me" would have sufficed.
New version of SKSE is out, to make it compatible with the latest patch.

I´m having the same damn issues, no matter what setting I´ve tried, every time I enter Whiterun, my fps goes from steady and smooth 60 fps to 38...

Since I use 64-bit OS, I assume I don't need to install the "latest" patch...?
Actually it's the opposite. Previously the game was not taking advantage of the RAM your computer had (unless you were using the 4GB .exe). With this patch it should. That is assuming you have more than 2GB between your computer and GPU RAM.
Wait, what? What does it do now? How much RAM do you have?
I'm scared to update mine :'(

Im not really happy abou the kind of AA in Skyrim.
Im a bit late to playing this game and im doing all the tweaking before I play.
Ive got 8x MSAA enabled in the launcher setting which looks kinda off but then If I use that with FXAA enabled aswell in the launcher it makes it a bit better but kinda too smooth?
Pics here:
8X MSAA:
8X MSAA + FXAA:

Whats the best settings (or in the nvidia card settings) to make it look the best?

Hey, wouldn't it be cool if Skyrim was multiplayer in some way? Is such a thing even possible?
That would honestly be entirely counter to how I play Elder Scrolls games.
