Nothing works

[7hr08ik]

I have tried...

ATTK light

Attk full, all different combinations of configs

STEP

Skyrim Revisited

A very huge multitude of ini tweaks

No tweaks

No mods

Lots of mods

Big mods

Small mods

Lots of drive defrag with high class progs

and most recently i gave CleanMEM a go (utter poo)

 

I am running...

i5 2500k @4.5GHz

8GB Corsiar Dominator RAM

ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z

ASUS 4Gb 670

60Gb Crucial M4 SSD (Windows 7 Ultimate x64)

1TB Samsung (Games and Storage)

 

I am using...

Mod Organizer

Skyrim Performance Monitor

Skyrim Revisited

Iroha`s guide for ASIS + SkyRe with SR

and a couple of extra mods (AFT, beautiful whiterun, nothing major)

RealVision ENB

and so much patience I really dont know how i`ve managed to not destroy my house

 

My game is set to...

Ultra settings

SR`s settings

All textures ran though DDSopt (2048x2048, and "the big 3 are all set to 1024x1024)

 

The highest my RAM gets, is 2.7Gb outdoors. My VRAM 2.3 that i have noticed

 

WHY THE HELL CANT I PLAY THIS (insert a very large number of incredibly vile and insuilting curse words here) GAME WITHOUT IT FREEZING?!?!?!?! Since i first played through this game all that time ago when it forst came out. I honestly havn`t been able to get higher than level 25 without cheating. My game used to CTD all the time....now i have managed to fix that. (yeah i get the ocasional CTD but its bethesda. We expect it)

 

Now all im getting is random crap......you can see i`ve posted about this stuff before....My save games randomly decide to not load....then over night....gremlins have booted up my PC fixed everything and turned it all off again. I play for hours without anythign. Then i get to a point where i cat go 5 minutes without freezing....so i CTRL+ALT+DEL reload Skyrim and try again....freezes again.....so i reload, walk another way....it freezes.....so i reload......fast travel......freezes.......If i cant get this game to work in the next 3 days....im just gonna give up completely.....Im gonna delete everything....reinstall my PC with ubuntu and never play games again, coz im really getting sick to death of this.

 

Before i get someone trying to tell me to try something please read what i have tried.

 

I really dont understand how nobody else is having the kind of stress and issues that im getting. This game is a pre-pubescent emo girl whinging about not being able to go see her dream homo on stage.

 

I absolutely refuse to re-install this game anymore. I will not start my character again. I have started more characters than arguments with my GF. i have reinstalled so many times, im surprised skyrims not permanently burned into the platter.

 

I know that one day someone is going to figure out that fixing this is so simple its gonna be a case of setting something in the ini file to 1.

 

p.s

you have no idea how hard it was not to swear

[Aiyen]

Okay I am going to just try to carefully ask if you have done Memtest or a similar Full stress test on your rig to verify that your OC is really REALLY stable ?

Since you are running with overclocked hardware, and you are reporting random stuff that does not work one day, then work the next. This is a clear sign of some sort of hardware issue.

It could very well be that the only change from one day to the next is the tolerance level of the hardware. If could be that it was too hot when you tested, and then the next day when you test again then it is within the limits again, but then gets unstable as you play.

 

Also I do not know which specific type of dominator you use, but if it is one of the OC ones then that could very well be the issue all on its own. OCing RAM is almost NEVER worth it. But again Memtest or some other stress test utility should bring up errors if that is the case.

The same if you use any of the BIOS OC settings for that Motherboard.

[7hr08ik]

My CPU OC has been running at 4.5GHz for aslong as i`ve had the CPU. Longer than ive had skyrim. It has stood up to intel burn test for 2 hours. prime95 for a day. Temps never get above 60`C during normal use. In burn test they hit 70.

 

My Dominator RAM, is XMP to 1866MHz and no further.

 

I only have issues running skyrim. Nothing else. Ive been playing Crysis on full settings, borderlands too, without any issues. But i`ll try running memtest. see if it flags anything up.

 

Just turned my logging on and ran back though the last area that froze on me....

 

Its completely reproduceable, it occurs every single time i go through the same part. my ram is only 2.5 my vram 2.1. went through 3 times, and each time the papyrus log was showing completely different things.....dual wield, lvlpredatorscript, and xxxSurvivalismAutoLeveling. the last 2 wern`t event complete listings in the logs, i dont see that these are causing the issue.

 

Im also positive that i can run around in another direction and find somewhere else that these ocur. For a while it was only happening at the begining of combat, so i turned off all my sound mods, BFS, and my extra magic mods, but that didnt help either. It only seems to happen when im entering combat (not always straight away but withing the first minute) so sometimes when im attacking but sometimes when someone else is comming at me from somewhere, and almost always outisde.

 

I dont see that it could be any of the texture mods can be causing it. Thats why i was thinking sounds, but i turned them all off, still happened, so now im thinking one of the mods affecting gameplay, specifically combat....so that leaves my to remove skyre. But if that was the case then surely it must be a big issue with skyre that not just me gets? right? i have taken off all the mods in my list that arn`t in SR or Iroha`s guides, and im still getting it.

 

If it was an issue with a mod then im sure neovahlen or Iroha would have noticed it in makng their guides and testing. And surely someone else would have got it....

 

This leave me with my PC, but i know its stable.

 

GGRRRRRR..................

[Aiyen]

Good that you have stress tested at some point. But how long ago was that ? OC do cause the hardware to degrade faster regardless of cooling, so it could just be because of time. But again any stress test should show if this is the case.

 

Also when you run with papyrus logging you stress the game engine even more making it more unstable... so it is detrimental to have it on at all times!

 

A fairly easy way to see if your CTD´s or freezes are memory related is to just disable all pure texture mods and go! Hence not mods like wet and cold, or frostfall which include some of their own textures.

If your issues go away then it is most likely memory related, if not then it is most likely script/mod list related. (Assuming your hardware checks out fine.)

 

For combat specific issues, try to disable DUEL, Enhanced blood, and Burn freeze shock effects. These are the ones that play the most vital role with combat. Outside of the sounds mods, which you say you already have excluded.

 

Also do you know how little time we actually spend on playing the game ? :D

Nobody has really been doing any sort of meaningful testing of SR in its current shape, let alone the SkyRe extension.

[torminater]

If you've tried everything (according to your statement) move all of your save games to a backup folder and delete Skyrim completely from your system, by downloading Skyrim from Steam (and verifying integrity of game cache at least once afterwards) revert to a absolutely 100%ly freshly-steam-downloaded perfectly clean Skyrim install, kill off and delete all gameboosters/side applications/script extenders/non-Bethesda-dll's, get rid of all Overclocks, defrag your harddisk once more, do a chkdsk on all of your harddiscs, check all your drivers are up to date and you're using only whql drivers, (stress-)test your memory, cpu, gpu and hard drive, start a absolutely new character with a new game and then, if you still encounter freezing issues, file a report to beth support. Most likely they won't be able to help you, but who can say for sure but them?

[Lanceor]

Seriously - run MemTest. Like you, I tried every conceivable combination of mods and tweaks and still couldn't achieve stability. Also like you, I used the same overclock for over a year and my rig could survive 8 hours of Prime95 and pass IntelBurnTest and Ungine Heaven Benchmarks with flying colors. I was 200% sure that my system was completely rock-solid stable... but 5 minutes of MemTest completely shattered that notion.

 

The worst that could happen is that you waste half an hour confirming what you already know. ;)

[7hr08ik]

Well, ive spent the day checking.

 

ran memtest......all ok

stress tested my cpu......IBT 20 runs through on maximum, prime 95 on maximum ram settings...all ok.

 

My next point of call is im gonna remove all the texture mods i can without removing any esp`s (that way i can run my current save without issue) that way reducing ram usage down to bare minimum. And run the game without ENB. See if i still get issues. If i do, im gonna try taking out BFS, enhaced blood etc that could be issues.

 

Here is my current Mod list ( "--" denotes NON Skyrim Revisited mods for my own refference)

Note i am not using Duel or any of the tk mods. only things i have taken from Iroah`s guide are, ASIS, SkyRe, Fantasy Music, and the spell eraser.

I have also re-installed my GPU driver (314.22) and done a full cleanup of my system though Tune-up utils. Gonna run a checkdisk and defrag before i start playing again.
