Hello - this is taken from another forum and is useful, if you have, like me, played for a couple of days on the Xbox 360, and now want to switch to your PC for obvious reasons, when it finally comes tomorrow (some places it's already released) - use this:
It actually runs surprisingly well on my 9800. (it feels like someone hit the fast foward button the framerate is that much better than the 360 version)
*Edit:
oh and If you have already been playing the Xbox 360 version and want to continue on the PC…
Plug in a USB stick to your XBOX and copy the most recent save over…
Plug the USB into your PC and take note of the drive letter
On your PC you want to use USBXTAFGUI_v44 (google is your friend)
Open the USBXTAFGUI_v44.exe file, then go to “File>Open USB manualy…”
Pick your USB drive letter as found out in step 2
Expand the Data partition tree by clicking on it.
The folder you are looking for should be labeled as follows “E00003675A8BD052″ then go into “425307E6″ and finaly into “00000001″ (yours may be labled diffrently if so hunt around for your skyrim save files that will be named the same as in game… i.e. “Save 133 – [character name] Ilinalta’s Deluge”)
Extract this file to your computer somewhere. Your desktop is fine.
go to
wxPirs and download and run.
Under the “File” menu, open one of the files extracted in the previous step. In the bottom panel, you should recognize the title of the save file, e.g., “Save 133 – [character name] Ilinalta’s Deluge”; the real data that you’ve gone to all this trouble to get is in the right hand panel, always identified as “gamedata.dat”.
Right click on “gamedata.dat” and choose extract; pick a name for your save file, e.g. “Save 133 – [character name] Ilinalta’s Deluge.ess”.
Transfer this .ess file to your PC Skyrim save files directory (C:\Users[username]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves), and you’re done Start up Skyrim, and load the game!
