DX9 can do some things better than further on versions, you do realise that?

I mean i would prefer DX11, no doubt about it, but still.

I do realize that but it's an updated engine based on old tech

, bit like adding a GTX 580 to a dual core processor

EDIT: Yes the post-processing was a issue with bTransparencyMultisampling=1, it's been disabled again as it caused issues, also FXAA is active via the launcher options

LOL! same as gamebyro

Sounds great from the reviews!

To the guy crashing, have you found the .exe in the steam folder and tried running it as admin and compatibility mode for win xp sp3? Just an idea.

just tried that still crashes ... thank you though

Can there be a separate thread for screenshots / spoilers / Vram trolling / performance and engine discussion please?

Could you kindly post links to screenshots, and not embed in this thread?

Somebody mentioned creating a shortcut for Skyrim on your desktop, apparently New Vegas had the same glitch. :confused:

Why? The screenshots I posted are not spoilers at all. Unless you thought it was set in the future or centred around mushroom people or something?

No because it's all related as for screenshots, upgrade your dial up

and it wont let me install it yet

No, but it's already tied your Steam account to it, did the same to me

I bet there's people already trying to find a way to bypass it right now

Pretty sure its against forum rules to show spoilers from games that aren't yet released as well.

Anyone that posts screenshots is simply going on my ignore list for now.

Some people just wont learn, its like 'ZOMG We haz early access to a game, lets post everything about it and ruin it for everyone waiting till the official release'.

A dog with a brain tumor would comprehend a request for no spoilers to a game that isnt even released yet better than some people here do.

Sigh can't find an australian vpn and my paypal is doing its usual load of ***** with declining my card saying it cannot verify it -.-

Right click the game in steam and try verifying the contents of the game cache, it could be a corrupt file making you crash and verifying the files will see if there's a problem with your install.

If not then the last idea I have is downloading the new nvidia drivers released recently or disabling sli if you have sli or even a nvidia card. (I can't see if you have specs in sig, posting from my phone)

I don't own the game (well I suppose I do, the postman is looking after it for me), I even credited the original op. and like I said, "Why? The screenshots I posted are not spoilers at all. Unless you thought it was set in the future or centred around mushroom people or something?"

???? I don't care about screenshots but what you said was stupid. Posting screenshots IS a spoiler as it is showing parts of the game world others want to see without your help.

Again I don't care about them but others do and they have every right to.

The majority of users on this forum are from UK, where Skyrim has not yet been released.

Therefore, any screenshots, regardless of their content can be classed as a spoiler. I think I will copy bhavv and ignore anyone who posts screenshots from now on. It has been said several times that screenshots and spoilers should not be posted here. :rolleyes:

Well, even though the reviewers like it, several of them are criticizing the game for not having a co op / multiplayer option

WoW is that way ---->

I really hope Beth ignore those reviewers.

Do you have a sound card?

Is it a Xonar?

I know Xonar sound cards often have issues with Beth's games - I still can't get fallout 3 to work properly...

I was kind of hoping this issue wouldn't plague Skyrim... But if you're using a Xonar soundcard it might be worth looking into...

Have you read any reviews?

omg early screenshots

, I see no spoilers!

IIDeathCubeKII · 10 Nov 2011 at 14:39

Jesus, you'd think I just beat a puppy to death with a baby.

I think posting the map is a spoiler then, and any gay little frame you might hang it in.

Aedus · 10 Nov 2011 at 14:39

IMO showing off the graphics via screenshots aren't really spoilers, but we do have a thread for them already.
