-->This is not the first time I have heard this however. I thought I had ruled third party programs out but like like a ****** only disabled programs like the ones you described and ones described on the RealVision ENB page (the preset I was debugging at the time) which included AIDA64 and Razer Cortex (the current version of Razer Game Booster). After getting the same crash after closing these programs I figured 3rd party programs weren't the problem since the only other things I had running were like Skype, Spotify, etc. (more on this in a Sec).
--> After you suggested it again I figured it couldn't hurt to close all third party programs just to see (don't know why I didn't do this the first time). Then fully expecting the game to crash again, it booted up and I saw the ENB Series notification in the top right. I faced palmed so hard. After debugging for nearly a month it was as simple as closing a program :facepalm: .
-->After restarting my computer and closing programs one by one I have determined the following:
- Programs Confirmed to cause this issue: Evolve Social Gaming Platform - Programs Confirmed to allow boot to load menu but cause CTD after loading save: Razer Cortex - Programs Confirmed to have no compatibility issues whatsoever (if running in background): Steam (obviously), Skype, Soundblaster Pro Studio, MSI supercharger, SoundBlaster Cinema, Nvidia Control Panel, Nvidia GeForce Experience, NCSOFT Update Helper, Logitech Webcam Software, Logitech Gaming Software, AIDA64, iFunBox, Malwarebytes, Razer Synapse, Team Viewer, Razer Surround, Plex Media Server, Google Drive Sync, Curse Client, Killer Network Manager, CCleaner, Realtek HD Audio Manager, Samurize, Cyclone Wallpaper Changer - Programs Confirmed to work with certain features disabled: Evolve Social Gaming Platform WITH GAME OVERLAY DISABLED (found in preferences/features/game overlay)
--> I figured I'd list all this for the record since one freggin program caused me a month of instability, not being able to run ENB's, not being able to run FXAA injector, not being able to run Skyrim Performance Monitor and probably many more mods.
