Crashing at Vanilla Start

[intrepid70]

I think this guide is great.  I've gone through and double checked all my installations.  

 

I can make a new character.  Customize said character.  Start vanilla game, select the option from the statue, wait for every MCM menu to load, go to the bed, click E, the screen goes blank like it's loading then crash to desktop.  Once back in can't continue the game, just CTDs instantly.  Have to start a new game every time.  While I like making characters, it's not the reason I play skyrim.  

 

I've ran Loot, Wrye, TES5, SUM, FNIS, more times that I care to count and I don't mind when I have to run them.  At this point I have no idea what's causing the CTD.  I'm sure its something I'm doing not doing.

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you have Neo's conflict resolution patch installed? LOOT rules done correctly?

 

Did you add any other mods to your load order besides SR:LE?

[intrepid70]

I have the patch, LOOT rules applies correctly, checked them 3 times.  No mods added.

 

**EDIT**  Vividian ENB won't run either.  I had issues when I ran STEP running some ENBs.  I related this to Windows10.

That was the most of the low hanging fruit.

 

One more easy thing to check: Do you have the SKSE Plugin Preloader installed in the Skyrim root folder (not through MO or in Skyrim/Data)? Crash Fixes ini tweaks applied?

 

Edit: Aha, I just saw your edit. Try installing the DX9 Runtimes from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

 

Win 10 is missing some components on a fresh install. Run the first .exe which will extract the files to a folder of your choosing. Then in that folder, run DXSetup.exe.

[intrepid70]

Yes and yes.

[intrepid70]

I did just get this.  First time I've seen this error.

 

 

The good news is the cart ride is starting the bad news is the above error.

[Joat_Mon]

That error message from Crash fixes means that Nebulous112 most likely nailed it...You need the DX9 Runtimes or else ENBoost won't run.

[intrepid70]

I ran the dxsetup.  Checked the ENBoost settings and I'm still getting that crash.

Post your enblocal.ini in spoilers, please.

ReservedMemorySizeMb=512 reduce this as far as possible, try 128 and if you don't stutter try 64

VideoMemorySizeMb=8000 set this to 4064

[Nebulous112]

If you have Vividian installed and are trying to run it (which you really should as the parallax textures in SRLE I think will look weird without it):

 

Change these settings:

 

[GLOBAL]

UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=false

UseDefferedRendering=true

 

[MEMORY]

ReservedMemorySizeMb=128

VideoMemorySizeMb=4064

 

[ANTIALIASING]

[FIX]

FixParallaxTerrain=true

 

 

If you are just now installing Vividian ENB, follow Neo's instructions for it and the merge. Make sure they are in the correct place in the left pane according to where the guide tells you to first install Vividian.

 

Edit: Also if just now installing Vividian, add the Loot rule to the merge and make sure to run LOOT.

 

Edit 2: Also your Skyrim and SkyrimPrefs INI settings need to change based on whether you are or are not using a graphical ENB... let us know what you decide and what your INI settings for those are. Found in your MO profile ([...]\Mod Organizer\profiles\[profile name])

[intrepid70]

enblocal.ini is the bane of my skyrim experience.  That damn file.  Made it into the keep with Ralof.  Saved there.  I will need to raise the ReservedMemorySizeMb a little.  All in all with mostly 2K textures and the enb hitting a constant 60fps.  Few drops to 45ish.  

 

I cannot thank you guys enough.  You guys are great!

I've included my skyrimprefs.ini in case you want to let me know what I messed up :)

Great, I'm glad you got it working! :-)

 

*Hi-fives Joat_Mon*

[intrepid70]

now to sloot it up :P

 

Well, maybe I spoke too soon.  I continued my save game and I can't move :(

Edited August 8, 2016 by intrepid70

[Nebulous112]

Hmm, try running BethINI for your INI files. It will back them up in case you ever want to revert. Run this outside of MO.

 

Click on the first tab and choose your MO profile. It will exit and restart.

 

Back on the first tab, click fix Creation Kit. Second tab choose BethINI High preset (you can try Ultra later if you want, but I find BethINI High is the best mix of performance and quality - better than vanilla Ultra with better FPS). Make sure ENB mode is checked. Check the "Recommended Settings" checkbox. Then on the last page, make sure Grass Types are set to 7. Exit the program and save.

 

See if that helps at all.
