Well, I just killed one of my graphics cards on Skyrim.. :wacko:

I put the AA upto 8 times on my Nvidia 250s, (It was handling 4 just fine), and all of a sudden I see pink streaking and then the monitor cuts out... I reboot.. and there are pink lines going everywhere on the desktop.

I plug the monitor I'm on now into one card, it works fine, take it out, plug it into the other card, it works fine.. plug in both monitors at the same time and it goes haywire and starts streaking on the secondary monitor. :/

Looks like all the money I've been saving for like six weeks is going to be spent on Black Friday for a new graphics card when it WAS going to be spent on the steam sale. :(

Damn it, I'm getting a persistent CTD in Bonechill Passage or whatever it's called.

Folks over at gamespot suggested to either wait a couple of (what I assume to be in-game-) hours and try again, or just quickly run to the next "room" while looking down.

Annoying :(

Same here. Waiting x hours does nothing for me. But I'll try that looking down thing.

No idea how to do it, dont own game, but figured people would be interested? Aparently all of morrowind is in Skyrim, got to use no clip though

Have you guys tried changing sound settings to fix the crashes? If not:

  1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Sound.
  2. In the Playback tab, right-click on Speakers (or whatever has a green tick next to it), then click Properties.
  3. In the advanced tab on the properties window, select 16 bit, 44100Hz (CD Quality) in the drop down menu.

I crashed 4 times in a row the first time I went to Dawnstar, after doing the above I loaded in, went to Dawnstar, and didn't have a problem.

V-Sync might have something to do with it.

I forced it off using NVIDIA's control panel but I'm not 100% sure it's that, because I also played with some other options there.

It fixed it, by the way :)

Well the sound-thingy-fixy worked for me when I crashed on game start, like the first ever menu that you see CTD.

Crashes while playing was a first to me, and I already fixed it.

Check that out, in short, they modeled in the entire Tamriel landmass into this game. It is not an exact replica of the previously used areas in earlier games, but after 200 years (after Oblivion), the land can be expected to change to some extent. So far, it is completely un-used, and nobody knows whether it will be used in future DLC. But either way, modders will be able to use this area as they please when the proper tools arrive, hugely expanding what can be done in mods (in theory, someone could re-create all of Oblivion, Morrowind, etc, in Skyrim through a mod). They could even create fully custom content in every way (towns, caves to explore, etc).

Check out 'Tamriel Rebuilt' for an attempt at rebuilding the whole landmass which has been going on for a few years now ... http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/ ..

I don't know how current they are with the release of Skyrim though ...

Looks cool, cant play it though, dont own skyrim

Thinking about getting the game, but still undecided? Check this out:

yea ok iv decided, im getting it, either by victor of the giveaway thread or regular, im gettign it

Well, damn. My light armor is at 68, and I have Dragonscale, but I feel like I get hit to hard. Maybe once I get it to 80 and have the other % perks things will change. I also need to enchant it with magic resist eventually, but I don't feel its tempered enough and once I enchant it I can't modify it without picking up that perk in smithing, which isn't in my level plan. :(

There's a black guy in Solitude that may join you in the palace with Tuilus. But I think you must first be accepted in the Imperial army. Though I never actually used him yet.

I found a rather annoying bug. I found a Frost Dragon and after I kicked its ass I cant consume its soul (nor its turn into skeleton). I thought it was a bug from using mehrune's razor (one hit kill) so I reloaded a saved game, used another weapon and the same thing. Any ideas?

PLEASE let it be future DLC. I never played Morrowind (was not into RPGs at the time) and I enjoyed Oblivion. I have a feeling it will be up to the modders to do anything with it...but I'll keep my 0.1% hope of proper DLC from Bethesda :)

Just completed the

drinking challenge in Whiterun.

anyone else done this yet? Made me giggle. Unfortunately I think I sold the

wedding ring

oops :huh:

The more I play this the more i realise how HUGE this game is, especially if, like me, you intend on 'tidying up' all the side missions before continuing with the main thread.

Never thought I would like this as I didn't really enjoy Fallout and wasn't overly impressed with Elder Scrolls.

Only got this game because I got so frustrated with Battlefield 3 and got a great deal to trade it in.

He's supposed to give you a staff for winning... but I didn't get it.

Bug maybe?

There's more to the quest than just winning the drinking game. You have to visit 3 or 4 different places, track down a wedding ring, break some bad news to a...lady..and journey through a dungeon.

Yes I got the staff (though I'm not a magic user so will go in my chest incase I use a Companion)

And that dungeon was tough! Killed my companion a couple of times. had to keep reloading

The Fire Wizard killed himself with the gate trap striking him while I was sweating, afraid, hidden in a room when I read QUEST COMPLETED.

EPIC ;)

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
    • I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. There are no new features, but Microsoft is officially moving the Experimental Channel to version 26H2. In addition, Microsoft is improving the copy dialog in File Explorer, the Start menu reliability, and fixing virtualization issues. Here is the changelog: [General] With today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 26H2. For more information, see the Windows Insiders blog. [File Explorer] We’ve improved the visual consistency and reliability of the Copy dialog in Dark mode, including its launch experience and the expanded progress view. [Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
