Hey all, new to the forums.
I ran a few searches for my issue but most people are having FPS issues from day 1 or random lag issues. Google yields much of the same result, most people just having issues right from the get-go.
MY problem is thus; Work has slowed down over the summer so I finally got around to buying Skyrim this week. I bought and installed the game Monday using Steam and had no issues whatsoever. I've been playing on High settings the whole time with nary a glitch. then tonight I launch the game, and the first thing I notice is that the loading screen is painfully slow. Slow as in I had time to run to the bathroom and come back and it was still loading, whereas it had previously only taken 10-15 seconds to load.
Finally, when I get to the game, it is running horrendously slow. I don't know the exact FPS, but I can say the lag is bad enough to make the game unplayable.
so far, I've done everything on the following page, save for a Defrag, which I'll be running after closing out of Chrome;
Skyrim FPS and Performance Issues, Nerds Way to Reduce Lagging in Skyrim Game and Increase its Speed - Nauman Lodhi - Digital Journal
I've also tried fiddling with the settings, playing in windowed mode helped, and dropping to low fixed the issue more or less, but it's really frustrating when I've been playing on High for the past week.
Has anyone else had any issues with this? I'd hate to have to play the rest of the game on the lowest settings :/
here's are my specs in case you were wondering:
Windows 7
Intel Core i7 Q720 @ 1.70 Ghz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M
6GB RAM
