I have the disk but it's downloading the whole game and I can't get it to stop! So annoying.

Done. See you all in a months time

Ah, my crash was because my GPUs were undervolted .... turns out they cant do 900 Mhz @ 950mV, but they can do 950 Mhz @ 1000 mV

I'll run them at 950 mV @ 850 Mhz. Dont need them set any higher.

Seriously, anyone installing via disk and having to wait for the download?

Substance · 11 Nov 2011 at 00:21

Have you tried disconnecting your BB?

Having severe issues with GTX460s. Tried SLI and just one and I just get artifacts. Works fine in other games/benchmarks. Advice?

I'll collect my copy in the morning, gotta get some sleep now.

Giant Bomb's livestream is pretty good and I can't wait to play the game now.

Have you downloaded the latest nvidia beta drivers 285.79? They have added specific sli profiles, including one for Skyrim.

Glad to see you can turn off the compass and quest markers from the off by editing the prefs.ini.

5GB

This answered it for me - apparently Fallout New Vegas had the same issue.

So I decided to uninstall what I had installed (pre-loaded) earlier in favour of installing it from the disc when it decided to download the whole game again. What I found especially odd, though, is that my Skyrim folder in steamapps/common was only ~900MB, despite having downloaded about 5.5GB earlier. Weird. At least it only took 15 minutes to install from the DVD rather than the hour it would have taken to re-download it.

Now to go to bed and set my alarm for half eight.

cheapest place to get a code sent to you instantly? steam is a bit overpriced at £35.

The main theme is epic!!!

sounds like a mixture of oblivion and morrowind, which certainly isnt a bad thing.

All this talk of using the 360 pad is worrying

. Can't imagine aiming a bow with it.
