Thank you, that did the trick!

After a more or less instable rushed build, I'm going to give it some time and start from scratch. Uninstalled everything (including deleting everything in appdata). My first problem is, the loot groups are nothing like the ones in the provided picture. Loot is still at 0.13.6, but it seems the groups have been altered and the ones named in the guide do not exist anymore.

I marked this topic as solved, because I changed my OS to win7 and will perform a fresh SR:LE install.

Memory Patch settings: [Memory] EnablePatch=1 DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768 ScrapHeapSizeMB=256 Found a mistake: VideoMemorySizeMb=4064 is the value it should be. After one restart it didn't crash. Still going to try MemBlocksLog and will edit the results in here. edit: first ctd: 308 153 second ctd: 310 152 both occured on the wagon before entering helgen if it didn't crash before entering the keep, I spawned several hundreds Lydias. No ctd, but the game froze for several minutes till alt+F4. logs: 512 256

Thanks for the advice, but everything you wrote is what I meant by "Vsync is active, fps are below 60." ^^ Tried a new save again, this time with Adaptive Vsync and Triple Buffer. Usually these are my standard settings but they got lost during driver updates. Now the ride was smooth. However just before the captains calls the prisoner, Skyrim crashed. Suspect some sort of Ram/VRam limit. enblocal settings are: VideoMemorySizeMb=4096 (made the mistake to use Win8 instead of 7) On a side note, before I knew about Skyrims "Physics" engine I had up to 100 fps. The wagon never had any problems, only random things on shelves or tables would explode from time to time. Some other thing I haven't found a good solution: z-fighting. Is there a fix to resolve this, other than hoping for a better engine on TesVI?

The lighting issues cannot be ignored, as the whole screen is black. The menu is visible and the shape of my character I can barely distinguish from an even darker background. An example would be a test for monitor brightness. The only "colours" visible are the two lowest blacks on the chart. Should have made some screenshots befor deleting LAL. Aren't there mods that require a new game, or should everything work if I jump to after the tutorial? My thoughts are, the start isn't the only scripted event, what tells me others won't fail as much as this.

As the title says, the waggon the player is sitting in when starting a new game hops und turns like crazy. I didn't install LAL because of some lighting issues in the starting cell. For some reasons all lightsources where deactivated at the beginning while character creation was open. Even the extra light from Racemenu didn't switch on. And since I would have chosen the vanilla start within LAL, it seemed better to just leave this mod out. Vsync is active, fps are below 60.
