Game sometimes freezes when I use flames magic

[peppergomez]

No idea why this happens, but once in awhile when I first use the flames two handed magic effect, the game will lock up. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be? 

 

I'm using the 2.2.4 version of STEP, and Wrye Bash. Mostly a mix of 1-2K textures.

I've had this happen with several spell types, not just flames. I've always thought it was because of sudden demand for graphics memory and GPU which my system was unable to deliver. For me, this happens more often when I am moving than when I'm stationary.

If you use "Burn freeze shock effects" then that is the most likely culprint. Since it is based on scripts then sometimes these just fail which cause a freeze. The author is aware of it, but it seems to be an issue related to running many mods at once. At least to my knowlegde. It is annoying for sure, I know I have the issue as my nr. 1 cause for the game stopping.

Contemplating removing it to test.

Sadly the mod is just so awesome! :)

OK. This happens as soon as I begin using the magic.

 

I believe that I am running Burn Freeze Shock Effects, since it was in the STEP release.
