Discuss Skyrim

Were any new quests added with the update?

I still have this,

Skyrim randomly just closes and returns me to my dekstop.

Any ideas?

Have you tried the 1.4 beta patch?

That is what was happening to me, CTDs start one day, then very quickly grow and grow into more and more areas til the game is unlayable. 1.4 has so far seemingly fixed it.

panias, what I would try if this just started, is delete the Skyrim.ini and Skyrimprefs.ini in your My Documents folder. (probably not needed but I alwayd do on Bethseda games)

Then run a integrety file check on the game through Steam.

You'll have to reset your graphics options when you launch the game the next time, but it shouldnt take but a couple seconds to set it back up.

Hopefully that'll help you. Ive found with Steam, the file integrety check fixes most issues.


Oddly, my Left 4 Dead 2 game was doing that a while back. Started and played fine, then would just dump you back to the desktop without warning or error. Apparently there was 1 file that needed to redownload and it was fine after that.

I wait the beta patch to be official :)

I will try that too.

Thanks guys! :)

No new items or quests, but when 1.4 is released (hopefully very soon) supposedly the construction kit will then be released too.

THEN new (user created) content will start showing up in droves...

The town's called Rorikstead I think.

i think you mean Ivarstead

I went there, and I couldn't figure out where the path to High Hrothgar is. I took the one that is beyond town a little bit and I ended up in Helgen.

You have to go NE I think, past the lumber mill and cabbage patch. There's a big bridge on your first left that leads to a couple of guys talking. One of them asks you to deliver some supplies to High Hrothgar. Accept the quest and just go up the steps from there. There's a couple of trolls, wolves etc. so you need to be careful.
