This happens in all of Bethesda's Gamebryo games. The more you play it and the larger your save file gets, the more crashes, bugs, and chance of save corruption you'll run into.

I messed around with Ugrids and it does definately help in the draw distance, but it aslo effects the FPS alot.
My only concern in using Ugrids is the fact that if you change the value, the game once you load your save it cloes and goes to desktop. No error code, just an instant to desktop. So I am not sure what i should do. Keep ugrids, but if sometime in the future some better enhancements or performance profiles/patches to where let's say ugrids11 would work at 60fps I would be screwed with my game save if I have ugrids9.
God I hate this shit with PC gaming. The game looks so damn good, but the pop-in in far off stuff is irritating and not sure if using u-grids is worth or not becuase it effects the save file.
Also to Liquid and Booby, do you guys have a .ini setting for a super high end rig? I have an I72600k, OC to 4.6, 2x580SLI OC to 855mhz, 8gigs or ram.
Thanks guys!
I asked same question and was referred to Liquid's config as a starting point.

Someone please tell me that your framerate also totally tanks if you go up to the Dragonsreach in Whiterun and look down at the town. If I face that way, I get down to 19 FPS (!) but if I turn and face the building, it's back up to 60. So saddening. I average about 30-35 around town otherwise.
... I'm on save 560... plus at least 100 auto saves.... Just hit 50 hours...
You get a chance to run that? You can probably add much better AA and not see a hit either.
Not yet. Just got off a session of Battlefield 3. Too many games, little time .
I did play with 4x SuperSampling AA in non-3D mode, with 16AF. Got 120fps in caves, and around 80-90fps outside. Going to try and push the AA up even more.
I'm right in the middle with ~120 saves at 50 hours. But I probably autosaved at least 500 times.How in the... I am at 44 hours and just hit save 52.
Smokey are you using Ugrids at all?
He's on stock so not yet. What I gave him uses it and ups some settings though so it will be interesting to see what he sees.
How in the... I am at 44 hours and just hit save 52.
Also, I think the game only uses 3 auto saves and writes over the oldest one. I use the same system. Just checked and there are only 6 saves in my save dir, 8.8mbs.
Liquid, can you give me the same thiing you gave him? We have identical rigs, same GPU's, Same CPU's etc.
Thanks!

If you set a value of 7 and save the game, that save wont work if you set the value back down to 5. There is a way of recovering it, though:
1) Load game with uGridsToLoad at the safe setting the one it was at when you saved.
2) Load the save, which should load correctly.
3) Open the console and type the following:
setini ugridstoload:general 5
saveini
refreshini
This has restored the uGridsToLoad setting to its default while your save is already open.
4) Save the game. The save you create now will work at any uGrids setting from the default up.
Same here, but Radeon 6850 - seems to be a game issue rather than a specific video card problem.
...So my GeForce 570 came in the mail, and it's GREAT. But, the Nvidia Inspector shit is awful and almost seems like it was designed to be as unintuitive as possible as some kind of techy joke. I think I accidentally deleted my Skyrim profile somehow and I can't make a new one? Also, took me a long time to figure out that I had to click an arbitrary blue hyperlink to make the settings have legible descriptions. RadeonPro is much more pleasant. Oh well! I'm not too worried about it because I get great performance anyway, but I did kind of want to check out ambient occlusion.

Actually, nvidia inspector has a fantastic, speedy and complete interface. It can even deal with new options that pop up in the driver after it was released. It's probably not designed to be particularly "intuitive", but that's a good thing: I assume the NV and AMD default control panels are designed to be intuitive, and look at what that gets us.
You make a new profile by clicking on the icon with a small green plus sign in the toolbar. I actually thought that part was pretty intuitive.
I get about 30fps in the worst cast in Solitude with your settings. I think I'm gonna steal some of the detail LOD, but stick with the other ini. It also blurs the crap out of shadows when you're outside and I think it looks more natural (with the sun being so far away and all), and as an added bonus it hides the lower resolution artifacting.
I'm not even talking about capabilities (though I don't remember being able to set AA compatibility bits in the CP, but I haven't used it in a long time), I'm talking about the basic interface and usability. It literally takes 20 seconds to open inspector, find the profile for some specific game, change a setting and save. You can count yourself lucky if the NV panel has even finished loading in that time.The only thing you can't set correctly in the NVIDIA Control Panel right now is Ambient Occlusion, so I don't think it's quite as bad as you make out
regarding your ini settings, what are these? i see you added them...never seen those settings before. heard about uGrid though...most interested in the iNumHWThreads=4 setting. Does that setting tap all 4 cores to the max? are there any external programs that need downloading for this to work?LiquidMetal14's FINAL (as of 11-19-11) ini settings

You're right, it opens more quickly than it used to. However, the profiles are still presented as a flat list with hundreds of entries (or a smaller list that misses some games you have actually installed), so my point about inspector being much quicker to use stands. And quite a few settings are missing in addition to the ambient occlusion you mentioned.Something ain't right on your end, I'm afraid. I click the NVCPL icon on the bottom right of the taskbar and it instantly appears.

anyone else using a controller? I've noticed that 30fps does not feel like 30fps. I've done a lot of console gaming with controllers throughout the years and this game feels like 10-15fps when it says 30. 60fps feels great, 50fps feels roughly like a 30fps console game to me. played a bit with the mouse and fps in the 30s doesn't feel as bad. Could it be the refresh rate of my screen or something?
Yeah. This is something I've noticed in other games as well. Personally I think you notice it more because it's a sudden drop. In a lot of places it's usually much higher and then you get to a certain area and there is a sudden drop. If it was locked at 30 perhaps you wouldn't really notice it as much.
i get what you're saying, but i can lock it at 30 and it's unplayable. Most console games barely maintain 30fps and they're fine. i don't understand what the difference is.
Well, that isn't something I have tried out. There is only a few places where I see significant drops in the game. One of those places being Markarth. I think due to all the water and the way you can see practically the whole town from above.
Just reinstall it if you really lost the profile. It's simple, i don;t know how you screwed it up, not to sound like a jerk, but if you managed to even learn of the program by checking forums for tweaks for this game, then you should have also found a how to guide that goes along with it, I've seen them everywhere and it's how I got mine running.

Jeez. I've played for 9 hours and am on save 64. I know I save a lot, but only 52 saves in 44 hours is kinda crazy.
I think I'm at like 60 saves in 46 hours. Seems pointless to make quite that many hard saves when using the quicksave slot.

Game was crashing every 20 minutes today. Decided to try out that large address aware thing and everything is running fine now. Should have used that sooner, but whatever.
Really recommend trying LAA for others whose game randomly closes often.
