Hello!
TL;DR: I have problems with irregular CTDs and have taken step textures above baseline. ENB enabled = many CTDs, disabled = none so far. Is this a 3.1gb issue? What should I do so I can run my game with ENB?
I was about to make a new post but decided against it when I saw this. I have problems with CTDs that are random. Very often when I load a saved game, or die and reload. But can also be in the middle of combat, being afk without an open menu or with an open menu. Happens in Helgen in the first big fight with several legionnaires near water. With ENB (SkyRealism) enabled, even without most of the effects I CTD frequently as described above. If I replay that battle 5 times I will CTD twice. 8 times without ENB = 0 CTDs.
I have:
3570k
8gb ram
660 gtx ti 4gb
Overclocked this rig eats everything it seems, but I have it at stock to make sure this is not a stability issue.Â
My load order is:
STEP, Frostfall, Cloaks of Skyrim, Better Fast Travel in whichever order makes BOSS happy
Requiem
Real Needs and Diseases
Alternate Start
Patches that make requiem and below jive with STEP mods
Realistic blood moved to last
BOSS has no complaints, no complaints from other patchers etc.
I have taken STEP textures above baseline quite often 2k, and 4k for things I like like bars and ingots. My guess is that ENB + these extra big textures screw me over, and this is a 3.1gb problem. Papyrus logs are empty, and it is not reproducible easily, so it does not seems like a scripting error. This thread has many posters that experience issues with 3.1gb problem, would you say my description is correct? Or could it be any of my realism mods that do not work well with STEP. Does anyone have experience of this? I would really like to run with ENB so that I can get darker interiors and more realistic lighting.
