Thanks, it took a lot of tries, at the end I had to add the " -forcesteamloader" switch to SKSE for the game to read skse.ini, now it works like a charm. btw, I think this option should be added to Skyrim_Script_Extender#Recommendations guide at least as a "How to check if the memory patch it's working", I had been playing this for so long without noticing the patch was not working and attributing the buggy engine for the crashes and ILS, it took some digging around to get a solution.
