    PC I'm moving from console to PC

    The Xbox/PS3 version of the game is equivalent to the PC running at 720p resolution at medium settings with no AA or AF. You definitely want to enjoy this game maxed out on a good PC. Your specs there will be able to run the game at ultra settings without a hiccup. I do recommend you get the...

    PS3 Visit The College Of Winterhold bug

    If you have the PC version, this bug is quite easy to squash with a simple console command. I don't have any experience with the PS3 version, but since Oblivion had access to console commands probably Skyrim does too. This sometimes happens if you use your persuasion skill or the Dragonborn...

    Hello Amanda, On the PC, they should be in: My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves I certainly hope you're not planning on deleting your BF's/Hubby's saved games because he's become too addicted to the game! :oops:

    Lighting bug please help!

    They new patch will prolly be here in a day or two... It's funny since the pirate version of the update (cracked) is already out.. o_O Anyways, why don't you try rolling back your catalyst drivers? Try to remember what drivers you had when the game was working fine, and install those. Btw, I...

    PC Looking for New Desktop

    Hey there, Here are my two cents: 1. Please DON'T waste your money on any Dells or so-called "brand name" PCs, because that's exactly what you'll be overpaying for (a logo/brand on the case). Always remember, a computer is made up of different components inside. Each component has it's own...

    Lighting bug please help!

    Hey there, By any chance have you guys installed any graphic tweak Mods to the game? Or have you edited the preferences .ini file? Seems strange that the game was working fine, and suddenly got all messed up. I still believe it's some king of software/hardware incompatibility with your...

    Lighting bug please help!

    Nah, this is not a DX related issue. Sounds like a video card incompatibility. The game is giving a graphic instruction that your video card cannot process correctly. Try changing Shadow quality from low to high, as well as Radial Blur. Also, check out this post in gamespot. You might find a...

    PC running skyrim?

    Hi there, Sorry you've had no answers yet. I'll be glad to share my two cents with ya. Unfortunately your laptop's videocard is.... how should I put this.. "Non-gamer-friendly". The Radeon HD 6520G is an integrated (shared memory) graphics card and is therefore slower than similar Radeon HD...

    Lighting bug please help!

    Does the darkness effect last for 1 or 2 seconds and then goes away? The game does have an "eye adjustment" effect, that usually happens when quickly changing your sight from different light sources. If not, try updating you catalyst drivers. I've seen multiple posts describing different...

    Have you tried deactivating FXAA effects in the Advanced options?

    Rockjoint will negatively affect your melee damage by -25% Ataxia will reduce lockpicking and pickpocket by -20-25% as well. So that's pretty much your diagnostic. That'll be $150 please.

    Hi there, and welcome. The colors of your skill numbers determine any active effects that may be increasing or decreasing them. Red = Decreased skill Gray = Normal skill level Green = Increased level (with an amulet, ring or spell perhaps) The decreasing effects are usually due to disease...

    Skyrim Specs question!

    Hmm.. Funny. I've been having a similar problem with Skyrim. In fact I posted a thread about it in this forum but no one seems to know what's going on. What I am 100% sure of, is that this is a software related issue. In other words it's a bug in the game that hasn't been squashed by the...

    Skyrim Specs question!

    @ IGNITEDBABYT14 Of course man, I'll be glad to give you some advise. I'm not the expert, but I know my stuff (I've been building my own PCs since my first 486 back in the day!) According to your original post, your current system has: 8gb RAM. 2TB Disc space. Quad core i5 processor. AMD...

    Skyrim Specs question!

    Sure buddy, Even though I always recommend building your own PCs, since it's a lot cheaper than buying pre-fab and you get to choose exactly what you want/need... AND with $1000 available, you can build a hell of gaming rig. My current system (which I built about 5 months ago), consists of...
