Best way to diagnose cause of game crash?

[peppergomez]

Been playing for a few days after completing a STEP install, and it seems that the game was running stable for about 2 days but has begun crashing with a bit more frequency. I think it's crashed 4 or 5 times since I began playing, mainly yesterday and today.

 

It seems to happen most often when I am moving from an interior to outside, soon after the loading screen finishes and the game world loads.

 

Any suggestions as to how I can begin troubleshooting this would be good. Thanks.

So if I'm going to use Adaptive Vsync on my NVIDIA cards settings I take it that I should disable Skyrim's own Vsync, ie set it to 0. I noticed that it is set to 1 in my Skyrimprefs.

Ugh...gettting a ton of screen tearing now that I turned Adaptive Vsync on in my NVIDIA settings. For some reason it happens when climbing up and down stairs. I tried toggling iPresentInterval between 0 and 1 but the tearing remains. I guess I will try switching it to On instead of Adaptive in the NVIDIA settings, though based on the review I just read at HardOCP.com, I thought Adaptive Vsync was supposed to alleviate this problem.

 

Might there be another Vsync setting in the ENBseries config file that I need to adjust?

I told you to keep the nvidia inspector/control panel on application-controlled, and force Vsync through the SkyrimPrefs.ini, didn't I?

My bad- I don't think I understood you fully.
