Memory Leak theory

nesf

Not sure if you others have been suffering bad lag (ps3), freezing (XBox) or crashes to desktop (pc) but the community has a theory and some proof: http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1298690-confirmation-of-memory-leak/

Edit: The solution/temp fix for PC users is the 4GB mod found here: http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1013

Well the 4GB thingy made a difference from what I can tell. I was having a ctd almost without fail if I played for more than 2 hours or so. Now not a bother. Assumed it was ATI related.

Yeah similar here, thought it was a heat problem first but when I put a utility watching the cards I didn't spot anything wrong with them.

As your link says it doesn't fix the leak issue just ensures it won't crash the game but call me fickle I'm happy for now

Yeah Bethesda really should have spotted this in testing but Bethesda will be Bethesda. Etc.

For anyone having lag issues on the ps3, I found a bit of a fix on one of the gaming sites. Just go into the game settings and turn off all the autosave options(on travel, wait and rest i think). This made a huge difference to my 60gb fat ps3 so it seems to work for some people. They also recommended going through your skyrim save files from your ps3 xmb and deleting any corrupt data files. I found two.

You Must remember to save the game regularly though, thats the only catch.
Im on level 50 with 120ish hours play.
