Just a few quick searches of your posting history has broken the "ever" part here. Unless you want to play a semantic game about "crashing" -ongoing and "problems" -plural.

Has anyone else had problems with people being stuck in the ground? Since this patch I've seen several npcs who appear to be spawning part way in the ground. It's funny but really distracting.
No crashes so far with this patch, big improvement over the other one. Look at what happens when you bother to test them Bethesda.

People complaining on forums that a game crashes a lot or runs like shit doesn't really mean much at all to me. That's pretty much the sum of it.

I wasn't exaggerating or kidding at all. I never have crashing problems, ever.

Umm ok? I'm not sure what that has to do with this.

Rarely!= never, we all experience crashes unrelated to user initiated actions, it's just a matter of frequency.

That's fine. But what you are overlooking is that other people with similar hardware configurations aren't having the same issues that you seem to be having. So what makes your system so special?

This specific case stands out because it's the complete opposite of the experience I've had with every other console port.

Yep. No kidding. You gotz me all figured out, buddy .

How about trying to play a legit version instead of your usual warez, Mr. Jerykk? It's not Bethesda's fault if RAZOR1911 or whoever the fuck's cracked version you are playing has fucked up the game.

And assuming the port is "poorly optimized" because it doesn't work well on your particular hardware configuration is a very narcissistic viewpoint.

Given that this is a port of a game designed for 6-year-old hardware, that's a pretty good indication that the port is poorly optimized.

It sucks that your processor doesn't run the game well, but this "YOU NEED A 4+ GHZ PROCESSOR OR TEH GAME RUNS LIKE TEH SHITZ LOL!!1!!!" crap is just crap. It obviously has problems for a subset of people, and I'm not saying it doesn't, and it sucks for those people, but the game runs perfectly well on current mid-level hardware.

Ahem. Did you just state that the game runs perfectly well on current mid-level hardware? Obviously that isn't the case for me and others who are having similar performance issues. You can't criticize me for making an over-generalized claim, then go on to make one yourself.

It doesn't run well on YOUR mid-level hardware. It runs perfectly fine on other people's mid-level hardware. So as a counter to your "IT RUNS LIKE SHIT ON EVERYTHING," yeah, I can pretty comfortably make that statement.

There is a particular issue with your processor type, or stepping, or whatever, and I hope they fix it. It's not pandemic to every single CPU in existence.

I hate using fast travel in this game, it spawns dragons too frequently because of it being tied to timescale.

What do you mean? That the texture is in addition to an existing one and blending with it? That it's acting as a detail texture instead of a replacement? Or something else?

I'm no expert but I will try to explain it. It's like taking a 800x600 (it's actually 512x512 but more people are familiar with monitor resolutions) then used photoshop to double the size (stretching) of the picture/texture to 1600x1200 then filling all the gaps with paint.

This causes bloating of the VRAM, which causes the majority of crashes. If you mean how it bloats, iirc it's because the gaps cause leaks. When a texture has gaps, hard to clear out the texture (it leaves bits?) when the next texture down the road needs to be loaded and causes a build up.
