*scratches head* What about they try rolling back to the nV drivers that worked?

I am disappointed. In no way I have to switch back to nVidia on the next upgrade just because he blew a fuse over a small thing. As for donations, seems that the political and economic climate had worsened that it would be a headache to even get funding in any way.

<-- Been playing and modding Skyrim since June 2012 (yes, this is the only game that remained installed ever since I built the PC, as others have came and gone). I am also a mod author, and IRL working as a freelance PC technician for years. Came here so that I could find valuable information pertinent to stabilizing my installation, and to ensure a proper balance of performance and quality. BTW, the first post I made was because I read the eye-opening findings about SSME/SKSE 1.7.1 and ENBoost settings.

Just came here to say much thanks for solving what appeared to be a mysterious series of CTDs that nearly derailed my third playthrough in Solstheim. I've been using 1.7.1 (settings are 768/256) and ENB 0.236/0.262 (896mb of VRAM/64mb of Reserved Memory), but I was perplexed about those CTDs that happened often to me, something I never experienced in previous playthroughs. Yeah, I did gone through the week-long process of cleaning up gamesaves, optimizing textures, disabling certain scripted mods, and tried to tweak the enblocal.ini and Papyrus memory settings, did a lot of trial-and-error, reading my Mod Organizer logs, to nail the exact cause of CTDs but to no avail... Until now. I think all the findings presented here should be disseminated as much as possible. I have also bookmarked this thread as valuable reference. EDIT: did used the memory kung-fu as described in this thread -- had the best two hours of Solstheim, with 3 followers and did lots of dungeon raids, culminating with a showdown against Karstaag, and never once experienced a CTD. :D Again, I raise my mug of mead in thanks.
