Why does skyrim lag on ps3

Do you have any installed? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling them. Sounds weird but it works. If you have a ton of keys in your inventory, like over 20, take them out of your inventory and store them somewhere safe.

I store mine in a chest at Breezehome just in case I ever need the keys again. I had this same problem plus a ton of glitches and doing this fixed most of it. Try creating a totally new save file instead of saving over an old one. And try deleting the two files with the Skyrim logo in your save folder, running the game and letting them get re-made. That has also fixed my lag before. Clear out any save game bloat. Anything over two saves including auto save can lag you.

Put ones you're not using on a USB drive if you want to keep them. If none of that works, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe try starting over by installing Skyrim on a new profile with a brand new character. Hope this helps. Only had been playing about an hour. It's very, selective with its freezing. User Info: UberDarkGuardia. Get a better harddrive. While that faq may be valuable to someone who has owned a PS3 for some time, it does no good for someone who just bought the console.

A new console hasn't had time to develop all the trash left behind by other games. A poorly developed product will always be viewed as poor. Their isn't much you can do about it. Bethesda's reputations is one of creating good games -- not polished games. There is a difference. Skyrim goes bat crazy within a few hours on most people. So, please, pretty please, don't act like that thread is a God send and the answer to all for everyone.

Because, it's not. And I have read it. The number one fix is to disable autosaves and save often. The next all time fix is to restart the system -- a lot. As far as I remember, that advice is in VT's sticky. Playing Dark Souls now and loving it, but I fell through the ground within the first hour or two, and notice occasional lag after playing for a while.

Point is, you make due. The most recent patches make Skyrim perfectly viable to invest your time into. While other games auto-save and reboot constantly for example many of the games you mentioned , you need to be more careful with a game like Skyrim. If TC can do that, there is no reason to worry too much about lag or freezes. User Info: YonKitoTaoshibe. Turn off auto-off functions, disable the wireless, delete the predicitive dictionary, and turn off everything else that consumes RAM.

Don't save in the same file too often and delete old files. There's plenty of stuff you can do. Try looking it up before posting topics like these. I'm sure you can imagine how many gamers have run into these problems on a game as popular as this. Those who have posted about the problem report that the lag kicks in when the size of the game-save rises above 5Mb. Already, people have been trying out workarounds.

Switching off all the autosave mechanisms also helps, and oddly 'waiting' ie, advancing the clock in the same area will sometimes reduce the file size a little.

Even if you run a single save, it will keep expanding in size and it's that which people are blaming for the problem, having had similar troubles with Fallout 3 previously. Pete Hines, vice-president of marketing at Bethesda, is adamant that the problem must involve factors other than save-file size. Hines tweeted that Bethesda was working on a patch to fix the lag issue. One possible reason for the problem, which has been the subject of much debate on the forums, could be the type of PS3 on which people are playing the game.
