    Well - since I turned off autosave 2 hrs ago no more crashes - last two happened within 15 minutes of each other....

    Just curious is this still working out for you? Mine was like politicsdude, crashing after an hour or so of play if I tried to go to a city. Has actually made me styop playing it.

    If disabling autosaves seems to work then I'll be glad to get back into it!

    I've got a 70 hour save file, it's over 9MB but I barely get any slowdown, I think the new patch helped things.

    Since then it has only crashed once....
    Playing loads though.

    So what I did
    1. Deleted all my old game saves and old downloaded games - just wanted to free up space.
    2. Disabled ALL the autosaves
    3. Only play it in first person mode
    4. Save regularly manually - have forgotten once or twice.

    As I said since then it has only frozen once - expect it will happen the odd time - but nothing like it did before...

    Loving it - even if it is on the PS3

    Good to know. I have tons of room on my HDD so shouldn't have to delete anything. I'll definitely disable the autosave and give it a shot. Thanks for the tip!

    One last thing - I also removed all the old games saves especially the autosaves - not sure if this adds anything but it was the only other step I did above.

    Did check to see if any were corrupt and while they were not still thought it best to do a bit of housekeeping.

    It's a Bethesda game so the unfortunate truth is the gameplay will be amazing, when it works.
    You will love this game for the hours of enjoyment it will bring you but you will also hate it for the endless bugs and sometimes hilarious glitches. If you've played either of the most recent fallouts you can expect to see similar issues.

    This one quote sums up all my expeirience with Bethesda games.I know everyone seems to blame the save file size but why has this not been fixed?

    I disabled all the autosaves and just had a crash free 2 hours of gaming!! Worked well for me. Whiterun was still pretty damn laggy, but no crash. Went to Markarth, Whiterun and Riften at various points and it didn't crash. Thanks for the tip Taltos, I'm passing it on to friends myself now

    I am surprised how they can get skyrim running on the ps3 at all with only 256 mb ram. Skyrim nearly eats all of my 4GB of ram (on pc of course)

    Gosh it'd be cool to be able to upgrade your console's RAM!

    I'm 15 hours in @ level 13, one thing with skyrim I find its hard to put down. Turned into a wolf this evening, now that's cool.

    I became a cannibal - think I would prefer the wolf - but also thinking to reverting to an old save point, eating flesh even in a game world is just a bit to out there for me :)
    Nearly at level 20 now just enjoying going off randomly and finding stuff including all the side quests - just wish I could get more TV time.
