    So I've made it to Sovngarde in Skyrim. There are a long set of stairs that comes to a patch of mist. If I enter it or use clear skies shout to clear a path the game crashes everytime I would enter where the mist starts. Anyone else encounter this problem?

    mmm Never had a crash on that zone. Are you running it crossfired or with single card? if you are using Crossfire, try to disable it and see if it crash on the same spot. (just to rule out some crossfire glitch)

    Also, if you are on steam, may be worth a try to check the game cache for corruption. If you are using visual mods, or any mod for that matter, try to disable them and check if it still crash.

    I've had crossfire disabled. I've always had the flickering screen issue so I've always ran with it off.

    It is on steam. Though I bought the retail dvds. ((Wanted that Alduin statue.)) I've tried checking the games cache and turning off all mods. And the end result is the same. Game still crashes

    Of CCC? 2.6. Didn't update since to 2.8 since 2.6 seemed to work just fine. Don't fix what's not broke you know?

    Sorry, i meant catalyst package. 12.8 WHQL has solved the flickering issues in skyrim, you may want to give them a shot.

    Alright I did a fresh install of 12.8 ccc. The flickering in crossfire are indeed gone. Haza! Though It hasn't fixed the crashing problem. I've turned off all the mods still and also tried with only one card too.
