Until, that is, some users discovered that applying the LAA (Large Address Aware) flag to TESV.exe fixed most all their crash issues. This is a common trick used with many games to allow the game to see and take advantage of more than 2GB of memory, the default for a 32-bit application. Some savvy game developers, recognising people are using 64-bit Windows now and a majority have at least 4GB of memory, have started shipping their game executables LAA aware.

But not Bethesda, yet. And so a huge number of players were using a simple tool (like this one here) to set the flag for Skyrim and, as a result, were enjoying a crash-free experience for the clearly memory-limited game. Keep that in mind for a moment.

So the update streams down through Steam, and is it a long-awaited fix for all the crashing issues? No. Does it fix the numerous quest bugs or game balance? No. So what was the update for then?

DRM. To tie TESV.exe to Steam such that you need Steam running, like many Steam games, to play Skyrim. Oh and, in the process, making it impossible to now apply the LAA flag – modifying the .exe triggers Steam's VAC protection and stops the game loading.

So did u guy try b4 stealing something but detected by NPC on another room? Seem like some kind of bug
