I wouldn't recommend an alternative, they're the best way to play with windowed mode, being able to alt-tab and such. But if you're having like 3 minute load times it could be because a monitoring program somehow clashes with these settings. I can reproduce it 100% just by having task manager open. This may be win10 only, or something to do with my graphics card specifically, so I'm just giving general advice for anyone having this problem.

Just want to post this so it might keep one or two other people from going insane: If you have Win10 and use Crash Fixes but still have totally random crashes, use a timer (or check beginning/end of your logs) to see if the crashes happen every 15 minutes exactly. If they do, it's likely caused by the touch keyboard and handwriting panel service in Windows 10. To stop the virtual keyboard service and keep it from starting again, type services in the taskbar, click services, go down to touch keyboard and handwriting service, right click and stop it, and then rightclick>properties and select "disabled" for "startup type." Thanks to steam user Krayzi who originally figured this out. It's been a constant problem for me for over a year after trying everything under the Sun. Also, if you have reeeeaaaally long load times, it can be because of the recommended STEP ENB windowed settings and various performance monitors (or even just having task manager open with those settings).

Memory blocks log will show 512 for block 1 if you have the memory patch properly installed and set at 768 (it will show 768 - 256 = 512). If it's not installed, memory blocks log will show 256 for block 1. However, judging from your memory blocks log, the crash was not related to memory. If it had maxed out at 256 (and your max block 1 was showing at 256) you'd know it was memory. To quote sheson: If heap memory doesn't reach the max value, heap memory related CTD that happens when heap memory reaches the max value is not the cause obviously. I'd try crash fixes if I were you (even if it doesn't help with this reproducible crash, it'll likely help at some point). Note that if you decide to use osallocators for memory, memory blocks log will no longer record correct values, because the memory patch is no longer used/necessary. But again, I doubt memory is your issue. If crash fixes doesn't fix your problem, try killing every unnecessary program your computer is running; as you'll see from my post on the crash fixes mod, I've just found the source of my crash-every-15-minutes problem I've been having for over a year (even just vanilla Skyrim): the Windows 10 touch keyboard service. ::

Just in general for everyone's info: if you have not installed meh321's bug fixes to fix the doubled perks on reload bug (as advised by the Requiem folks) you should go do so. I used to think Requiem had made vampires immortal, but it turns out they are just quasi-immortal. Thanks, this is what worked for me for DynDOLOD 1.14. If you install Requiem - Minor Arcana (most of which should be incorporated in the next version of Requiem, the guy is on the Requiem team) it'll tone down the classes. Specifically for the CombatWarrior2H that Gorr has, two handed will be 2/3 as high, heavy armor will be 2/3 as high, health will be 1/4 and stamina will be 1/2. There are several things going on there, the class as well as the perk added by Requiem, so I can't promise those numbers will be the final result. In fact I wouldn't think the numbers result as high as you have them, it looks like things are getting applied twice on reload (his base 2H is 15, which should be getting multiplied by 4 for a final result of 60) though I didn't think the class buffs themselves got applied twice and I think the Requiem perk only adds damage, not ability. Do you have meh321's bug fixes installed to fix the reload perks bug Requiem is warning everyone about? Regardless, Requiem Minor Arcana should tone him down some. I usually play with Interesting NPCs (as you can tell by the fact that one of my patches for it is in this mod pack) but I had decided to play without it this time through (until I discovered Kitchen Sink and figured I should just let it be). My approach last game was the second someone starts babbling on for 10 seconds about something totally random I exit the conversation and check with the console that they're from 3DNPC.esp (I use MFGconsole). I can pretty much always spot them, they all sound like they've been smoking Colorado-grade pot laced with amphetamines. So I just walk away and pretend they're from Inconsequential NPCs, whose personalities I generally prefer. Inconsequential NPC: "Go away." Me: "Thank you for not wasting my time."

I think this is because you removed AI Overhaul as a master for the OCS patch, but your patch was still trying to contain a reference from it so the lock list (among other things for the drunken huntsman) is an error... which means, I guess, that he doesn't know who to trust? There is also an error in the test merged patch with the necromancer faction.

I'd wager it's the STEP instructions for Birds and Flocks: https://wiki.step-project.com/Birds_and_Flocks#Recommendations Notice: DynDOLOD will not run with this mod active. STEP recommends leaving it inactive until DynDOLOD is ran at the Patch section of the Guide.
