Skyrim problems

[Joelbanks5]

I just downloaded skyrim and right at the beginning of the game the horse cart is being thrown all over the place. The people still talk and stuff but we get to the gates and it's messed up so we can't go past that. Just now I tried it again and the horse got stretched out and stuck on the path.

 

how do I fix this?

That's pretty strange. Assuming you downloaded it via steam, you could try verifying the integrity of the game files.

I actually fixed it believe it or not. I went into the GeForce app and optimized it's settings. That fixed it

This happens when the game runs at above 60 fps without v-sync because the in-game physics are tied to the frame rate. This is often a problem with screens that run at a refresh rate higher than 60 due to the game not running at a higher frame rate than intended. GFEs preset contains an fps lock to fix that.

I've got it running at 120 frames and it's doing fine now.
