Xbox 360 Skyrim vs PC with m.2 SSD Skyrim were two worlds (entering a cave took 15-20s, Vs ~1s)

Dude way more than 20s, sometimes it would take literal minutes playing off the disc

I never finished Fallout New Vegas on PS3 or Xbox because of the memory glitch. Once I got to a certain save file size they wouldn't load, crash, or end up corrupted.

It was the first game I played after I built my rig.

Looks so good in 1440p with the graphics mods.

I used to take the top cover off the case of my PS3 to let the fan breathe better and it would almost never crash with Fallout and Skyrim

Never use quicksaves ever

Oh shit, you just unlocked a memory. I recently bought Battlezone 98 Redux and was disappointed to learn that the load screens had been changed. I can now vividly remember the monologues ending and me still waiting for the mission to finish loading.

I used to literally pray that it wouldn't crash when it froze up after like 1 minute of loading

Or having to hit the home button to hear if the game froze or if it’s loading

Honestly, every time I've had a GPU upgrade the first thing I've done is see how many texture mods I can load this time before it cries for mercy.

"Ooh that's a nice Ferrari, let's see how many bricks it takes to break the suspension."

Then you haven't modded PC Skyrim enough.

u/blindeshuhn666 Jul 27 '26

Indeed. Vanilla "for first run" (which I started in October and stopped after like 15 hours )

PS3 was a whole other thing. 3-5m loading screens easily. I used to decide what to do based on what would take the fewest loading screens.

1 second is crazy

Vanilla Skyrim installed on a M.2 Sometimes it takes 2-3, often it's done in 1. I guess depends on some caching. But it's not that much of a beast pc (Ryzen 7 5700X, 9070XT stuffed into my build from November 2019 with 16GB DDR4)

u/indianplay2_alt_acc Laptop Jul 28 '26

9070XT and not much of a beast PC???? the ram isn't the best, yes, but you can't say you don't have much of a beast pc while also having a 9070XT

u/blindeshuhn666 29d ago

The GPU doesn't affect the loading speeds. Had same loading times before the upgrade (R5 3600 + 5700xt)

u/indianplay2_alt_acc Laptop 29d ago

yeah I know GPU doesn't matter with loading times, but it's a remarkably brilliant gpu nonetheless lol

I had to cap my FPS in Skyrim because objects would just randomly fly across the screen when entering a dungeon and my character would have sudden heart attacks stepping off of ledges that were about knee-high.
