So i have a main save, as I'm sure we all do. It's nearing 300 hours. I've accumulated quite a bit as i love this game to death, it's my go to chill-out game.

But recently things have begun to…break, and in not insignificant ways.

It started with the chunk errors. Squares of terrain simply unwilling to load, resulting in bottomless pits of nothingness. With no surface to reset to, you fall forever.

They weren't problematic at first, just the occasional one or two squares that didn't load in the distance. Then they started to multiply, and occasionally appear nearby over a spot that was previously fine.

Then the crashing started. If there were chunk errors nearby and i tried to take off, crash. If it was the middle of a nexus mission and i tried to get out of my ship too quickly, crash. If i fire my Neutrino cannon. At all. Crash.

My Neutrino cannon is my magic eraser. I point it at something, and that thing just doesn't any more.

It seems like any time i do something even remotely intensive, the game explodes.

I'm worried this is only gonna get worse. I remember morrowind and I'm getting some really bad vibes from this situation. If there is a memory issue, I really don't know what I'm gonna do. I cannot start over.

Anyone experiencing similar issues?
