Whats installed:

Onetweak: https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/40706

 

Not sure about anything else to put for whats installed outside of the nexus manager...

 

I am not following directly from STEP and as you can see some of these mods are not listed for STEP I'm sure, I'm purely here for some help on the matter which is next.

 

The Problem I'm not sure of the causes this to happen is that sometimes after I've installed "A" mod my loading screens will freeze up half way through animation and my cursor hourglass will popup as if to say "Not Responding". It takes either abnormal time to enter the game from this frozen state or it will just CTD. I have many as clean as I can go save games guided from STEP without the use of HEXing them and have also used SaveCleaner too on other saves to try free up whatever it can to no avail usually.

 

Please help if you can

First impression - Infinite Loading Screen problem to which is no solution. But you haven't got that many mods installed, no LODs... Strange. Don't know what to suggest really. Loading screen freezes tend to be quite random as well and hence are hard to diagnose, unless you have a spot that they are 100% to happen.

[mothergoose729]

Just some general tips.

 

If you are installing or uninstalling script based mods, you really aught to start a new game entirely. I didn't see any when I skimmed your mod list but just keep that in mind. Orphaned scripts will plague your game pretty much forever.

 

I have read that skryim performs better without crossfire. You might consider disabling it when you play, if you haven't already. Also make sure to update your drivers to the latest version.

 

If you haven't been using a texture optimizer program I recommend you try one. Optimizer textures is great and easy to use.

 

Rootsrat is right, an infinite load screen crash is really hard to diagnose because it could be so many things. Try playing on a new game for a while and see if you can produce the same symptoms.

Thanks for getting back to me,

 

Let me clarify alittle more.. These freezes are pauses in the loading screens as I'm loading any save currently from activating the game. The only way I can hope to remove it is to revert to a backup copy of my game with less fluff installed or a complete fresh game.

 

The loading screen normally looks like a 3D model of something with the tip at the bottom which pans in and out until your game is loaded. With my problem it causes it to halt about halfway through this phase of loading and just stays frozen put (Mouse cusor will appear) and usually takes almost more than a minute over the normal time it would take.

 

I'm not sure if its a Window mode with boarderless plugin problem as the only current solution I can find is going back to full screen mode, which seems to load fine with the odd stutter in the loading screen which seems to be the norm anyway.

 

If there is more information I can provide let me know! I've taken note about the optimizer for textures. Last resort as I like my game to kill my PC for sheer quality as I can. At the moment only my character is using extreme heavy textures, but I do not think it's that as this persists through deletion of those. I'm guessing it might be some script thing

 

Unfortunately I'm not sure I can turn off Crossfire on my card effectively as it's a duel chip monster on one die. At the end of the day I may have to live with it as I've struggled to find

Its ENB that runs better without multi card setups... not skyrim itself.

But it is still rather pointless.

 

However multi card setups and windowed mode can cause issues... try to get rid of that sort of thing. In general it can just cause issues. Skyrim hates being minimized... blame the game engine.

 

In general ILS is always due to too much stuff being loaded in at once... reduce content, and they will always go away again.

Well as of writing this I have upped my PC specs from a 940i7 to a 4770k i7. I somewhat blew up something having OCed my Bus clocks the "right" (Probably too high even though it all booted fine and seemed to keep going) way and was running stress tests for stability and it never switched back on properly after 25mins of okayness.

 

But anyway the hanging load screens seems to have gone for the time being as the bottleneck or whatever it was is I'll say "Temporary" is gone!! :)

 

Thanks guys for your help!! Yeah Aiyen the engine is dire at times, full of holes! I just hope Beth don't copy too much bug and engine rubbish over to Elder Scrolls Online.
