So Skyrim 1.3 broke my game...

[Sewer Rat]

I was so excited when I found out the details on 1.3... finally Skyrim would utilize 4 GB of space without needing to deal with 3rd party apps, and the dragon glitches fixed!... But now, I really wish I had 1.2 back... My game crashes every 5 minutes or so at random, as well as everytime I try to fast travel. I cannot go forward in the game like this, I am essentially stuck in the reach, as if I try to move forward my game will just keep crashing. Even if I am somehow able to pinpoint when my game will crash and save before that, I will need to reopen the game every 5 minutes or so to keep walking on.

I am just curious if anybody else is having these issues or if anybody has any idea how to fix it. Yes I did mod the game, but nothing more then a few retextures and a few early ESP files that worked fine before 1.3 came out. At first I thought it was the improved map mod I used, but even after removing those ini tweaks it is still not working.

So anybody out there having similar issues or have the knowhow to help me out?

I should probably note I am running the initial release of ENB to improve performance and have already tried disabling it, no dice.

I know what you're going through man, I've been hearing about this kind of stuff alot.Quick questions before I I help you, you bought it off steam or a disk at the store?

Disk, but it doesn't really make a difference, since it needs Steam anyway. I only bought the disk for the pretty map hanging above my desk right now and for the faster install (college bandwidth.... not really good for downloading a 7 Gig Game)

Just FYI, the 4gb thing was never slated for 1.3. It'll be out next week.

Anyway, sucks to hear. Make sure you remove all mods you may have and reinstall them after double checking if there are updates for them available.

For me, 1.3 introduced a very unique bug. Some Argonian by the name of Jaree-Ra has decided he wants to put his dagger in my face. Of course Lydia took offense to this, so she rightly crushes him with impudence. And then he got up. And came at me again. And again. And again. Turns out he's a quest giver and is immortal!

The sad thing is, there's literally zero reason for him to be aggressive to me. I was just minding my business, checking out my new house... walk down the road and he's coming at me like he's got a contract. I tried several console commands without luck. Not sure what to do if he doesn't reset after the 3 day thing. Might just have to perma delete him and use console commands to start his quest. Sigh.

EDIT: For some reason I couldn't find this as I searched last night but on one of the wikis it says: "Jaree-Ra will become hostile without warning should you interfere with the Nord execution happening as you first enter Solitude."

Well fuck. I thought it would be hilarious to pick up the dead guy's head, since it rolled right in front of me. Now how do I get out of this little pickle...?

Well, after hearing that I actually went back and reinstalled a third party app I had going to run the game in 4GB, and it seems to be working fine now... I guess my game just really really likes running with expanded memory?

Yay! Well at least it's working again

I hate having to troubleshoot games. You never know what the issue could be. It usually feels like some miracle when you stumble on a solution.

its ok, the same happened to me, except he had a fucking vendetta. when i say vendetta, i mean he followed me from wherever you meet him, to whiterun... i couldnt sleep next to my wife, because he broke into my house!! i eventually console command teleported to the other side of skyrim, and he hasn't found me yet.

OT: i havent really noticed any changed with 1.3, but i've only played a couple of hours since it was installed.

Wow!

Well I just read about someone that was having the problem. They used a frost blast and it hit some bystander so the guards got involved. He then paid them off, and then Jaree-Ra was neutral again. So I'm going to try that tonight.

Well that's good you got it working now... I was going to to tell you to re-install w/ that memory patch, or get a crack so you can play at 1.0 again.

I would like to add that there is nothing wrong with getting a cracked .exe if you bought the game legitimately. (Come at me mods!)
