Shouting more than once often freezes the game

[xbk123]

As per title. I have 4 shout related mods installed: Goetia Animations - Conditional Shouts, Thundering Shouts, Shouting Obliterates Skeletons, Edmond`s Shout. I tried disabling them all but no change. I can shout once but shouting more than once = 50% chance game will freeze but not all of sudden. You can move around, but like 50% of sounds will be missing, no NPC voice etc. When it happens then there is no NPC facial/lip animations and no NPC voices when you try to talk to them. And if you try one of these things - save, enter/exit interior, fast travel = 100% freeze (without crash). Im not sure but I don't think it was like that when I started the game. Maybe updating some mods mid play caused that. If anyone has a clue let me know. Modlist enclosed. Thanks.

My only advice is to test with a new game rather than on an existing save to rule out any thing baked in the save. Then you can isolate the culprit reliably.

Hey there, sorry to revive this old thread. Just wondering if you managed to find whatever was causing this? I'm having the exact same problem down to the last detail.

As I mentioned previously, disable the shout mods, and test on a new game or a clean save created before they were installed. Verify the problem is gone, and then enable each, one at a time, testing on the same save as previous, repeating all the actions that led up to the freeze. Then test each in combination with one of the others, then two of the others until you reproduce the issue. Once you are pretty sure which mod is causing the problem, you can research further or just not use it.

Nope. Have no idea what was the culprit. I have cleared whole game folder and build new mod list from the scratch and so far (lvl 50) no problems.
