Running Skyrim Revisited

Full settings

All DDSopt`d most big texture mods at 1024x1024

Launching with SKSE (1.6.15)

papyrus logging - OFF

skyrim perf mon - OFF (only used to test settings)

Have tried ATTK, light and full version but still get ctds and freezing

 

 

 

Issue

Recently gone through the lists and removed a few random mods, and some that are too buggy to fix (3dNPC etc)

Removed Automatic Variants to help with RAM, and hopefully fix my issue.

 

The problem is outdoor CTD`s and freezing...it doesn`t happen at any specific point it seems to be totally random, but once i hit a point it can be reproduced (if that makes sense?) Randomly occurs but i can load a previous save and it will happen again.

 

From what i can tell it happens when NPCs/Creatures pop in at the edge of the loading area. (hence why i removed AV) Taking AV off seemed to help for a few hours but now its still happening. I`ve read a few posts with people saying that running around too fast can cause it, but that's stupid. Im not gonna start playing the game slowly so i dont crash.

 

The best example was the giant camp outside whiterun....i was doing the companion missions. I left whiterun, got on my horse, and went towards the camp to get to Dustmans Cairn. I spotted the fire pop in and as soon as the mamoths pop in to view....CTD. I get this at random points around skyrim, but this is the only time i`ve managed to nail down the reason.

 

What im wanting, is to find out what mods can be causing this glitch. I thought AV coz of the mamoths...took it off and it seemed to fix it. (From what i can tell AV is safe to remove) But what else can be causing this? It deffinately seems to be caused by new NPC`s/creatures poping in, as it only happens when im moving. If im just waddling around gathering, or fighting, nothing....only when running/riding around.

 

EDIT:

Sorted ini file, so you can read it now.

Yes i have some extra lines in papyrus, but these have helped my stability ALOT. Esspecially with random combat freezing etc.

[phazer11]

Anyone tried taking Sounds of Skyrim out of the picture? I didn't seem to have any problems from the test I did out in the wilderness but I did get infinite loading screens coming out of Jorrvaskr Living Quarters

[Freyrgjurd]

That one I had even without SoS.

 

Right now, I'm using SoS (Dungeons, Wilds, Civilization) with the crash fixes (just false-flagged .esps) and everything is ok.

 

Actualy, no problems at all so far.

[7hr08ik]

Im using SOS all-3. But im using SR so i spent 3 weeks applying the ginormous list of tweaks supplied by neovalen.

 

Before i re-installed i did try removing all my sound mods, but it was still crashing.

 

Im just in the process of going through and testing the freeze locations and tweaking the mod list.

[7hr08ik]

i did get an infinite load screens issue after my re-install, but i just removed all the extra loadscreen mods apart from 3D Loadscreens and that fixed it.

[Aiyen]

From step 2 onwards. Didn't use Alternate Start. Used coc qasmoke at main menu, waited for all mods to load, coc MarkarthExterior10, bought the horse and so on.

You cannot use coc to test this sadly! Since if you use coc to start the game all script based mods do not load properly! 

You can see this by the fact that most of the mods do not even have their MCM menus up. 

 

I loaded up the game and started with my Hircines quest freeze. Fresh game, left all the MCM mod settings on default, and i managed to get all the way through the quest and run back to whiterun......Eureka you might think......but no...

You have to start up a game where you have activated mods like frostfall etc. By default many mods are not activated, hence you cannot test for script stability. 

 

Also in general I just found AS too unstable... it is a cool mod and I somewhat wish I could use it.  But I just looking at the massive amount of patches etc that Neo has made shows just how silly such a change is in fact. However I can understand why people would want it to stay in since it is an awesome mod, and it works flawlessly on some setups. 

 

Testing SOS should be simple enough since you can configure it ingame and disable the entire wilderness setting for testing purposes. 

[7hr08ik]

I agree to your comment on the first quote....no idea why he`d start the game with coc

 

But your comment on my quote....I am starting the properly, through AS, i was just stating that i am testing my list by loading the game up new, and not changing any setting inside the MCM menu.

 

Havn`t though about trying the game without AS, it just comes in very handy when testing the game, and mod lists out 10-15 times in a day. Might try without it. Doesn`t really change gameplay, just makes it fast to get into the game

[Aiyen]

coc is usable if you just want to get into a specific location to test something fast! It is for example invaluable if you are making an ENB preset! ;)

However absolutely useless when testing script stability since something goes wrong when starting the game like that!

 

As for your part 7hr08ik . Then I am just stating that if you start a new game with the default settings, then certain mods are not even activated!

As such you do not really test for script stability since not all script based mods are running.

If you do not start frostfall and realistic needs for example, you will get a more stable game then with them on. I used those two to isolate my memory issues with script based mods when I went through what you are now.

[phazer11]

Ok here are some logs

Papyrus.0 I left the game running for an hour or so for giggles. I exit markarth after crafting go past koleskegarr mine and am halfway to karthwasten before I hit my first actual CTD in a long while. I checked it wasn't a RAM issue I was using 2304MB RAM and 1980 VRAM at time of crash.

 

The other is a freeze IIRC.

 

TBH I switched profiles and forgot to disabled logging but maybe it will be helpful.

Freezes and CTD.7z

[7hr08ik]

OK, well last night just before i was order to bed by the GF....yes i have an actual GF....lol shes real and everything

 

Aaaaaanyway.....i spotted this.....https://forum.step-project.com/showthread.php?tid=2265&pid=32992#pid32992 ....... Take off SMIM and any related mods (which i think is just the wearable lanterns SMIM patch)

 

Thought....meh, cant hurt to try....ULREEKKAAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAK!!!!!!

 

I loaded up the game, started in markarth, tgm, bought a horse, and set convenient horses to 100% extra speed and 1000 extra stanima.

 

I sprinted on the horse all the way to the mine. Killed the forsworn, sprinted all the way up to the bridge, over the bridge, all the way to whiterun, all the way past whiterun, all the way to riverwood.

 

At that point i got shouted at and wandered to bed with my tail between my legs like a *****.

 

So today im going to re-add AV, and Dual Sheath, and Test it again. And this time im gonna set up all the mods in MCM menu correctly, and see what happens.

 

Give it a try....take off SMIM....think about it...what does it actually add anyway.....if and when you really look at an apple, it`s not quite as lumpy...lol, no really it is a good mod but something in it, is causing memory loading issues in large open spaces

[Aiyen]

The most noticeable change SMIM does is chains and ropes. You can clearly see a difference when if you just check riverwood.

Also skeletons are rather noticeable imo.

As for the other stuff.. you can just disable that in the installer!

It is true that certain areas of the game just get a massive increase in required memory etc. due to many vastly more complex meshes.

[7hr08ik]

Well, removing SMIM has taken out most of the freeze issues.

 

But now im stuck with a few purple textures/missing textures......every now and then i find a purple skeever. And most noticably, all the giants are invisible with giant floating purple axes???

[rootsrat]

Do you use Automatic Variants? If so, place all the pack you downloaded back in the relevant folder and rerun the patcher

Okay you silly person, you are just plain wrong! Go and hide in shame somewhere and never return! :( 

 

Okay in a more serious manner, I have to correct myself here! 

 

Meshes themselves should not increase memory use significantly, since after all they are basically just dots with 3d space coordinates... not really something that requires loads and loads of memory. There is a slight increase in memory used, but it is not super massive! 

 

I am sorry for making that claim... part ignorance, part brain fart! 

But now im stuck with a few purple textures/missing textures......every now and then i find a purple skeever. And most noticably, all the giants are invisible with giant floating purple axes???

Have you installed Skyrim Immersive creatures properly ? That would be the most likely culprint. 

If it was just AV then the vanilla textures should take over. With SIC then entirely new textures are used. 

[7hr08ik]

i just came back on to say i figured out it was immersive creatures....forgot to use "integrated installer" all sorted....now i can use my current mod list and setup on a good long test through the game...

 

So far all seems to be working well, the known freeze points are all kool, aside from a few random twitches when out and about... to be expected i suppose with the huge amount of mods

[7hr08ik]

The known Freeze points

 

 

Known freezes:

 

1. Start in whiterun

2. Ride horse along roads to falkreath jail

3. Talk to the prisoner and get the ring

4. On foot, head out to the bridge just outside of town take the guards out with bow/crossbow

5. Kill white stag

 

 

1. Using alternate start - property - Vlindrel Hall

2. Buy a horse - outside Markarth.

3. Ride left, along the river out from the stables.

4. Kill the forsworn at kolskegar mine and keep on going past Blind Cliff Cave and towards Karthwasten

5. Keep going past Karthwasten, there will be a bridge between there and Broken Tower Redoubt. Try and cross it and continue along the road

 

 

 

The main mods i can remember removing

 

 

Automatic Variants

Dual Sheath

SMIM

AIMP

 

Probably a few more but these are the main ones i can think of right now.

Took out AV and Dual Sheath coz AV seems to put a fair bit of stress on the game and caused alot of twitches for me outdoors. and dual sheath coz i can live without it, and it seemed like an idea for helping with freezes.

 

SMIM, is what really solved ALOT of the big freeze and twitching issues
