Random Whiterun CTD and Stability.

[prizner]

So I finally got step core & extended Installed and few miscellaneous from various step packs. Things have been running smooth for the most part except on occasion in character creation. I occasionally get a iron helm ha no idea what that is about happens 1 out of 10 time but whatever. My only real issue so far has been Whiterun CTD and that happens with some frequency like 5 out of 10 times both entering and exiting. Now it may be something in my load order or just a conflict I overlooked but if anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated. Also as a side not if you see something horribly wrong with my load order outside of what may be causing that problem any advice/help would be welcome.

Stealth Skills Rebalanced_COMPLETE.esp <--reportedly the cause of the "Iron Helm" at character creation.

 

I'm leaning toward the idea that you are having papyrus/script related crashes based on the type of mods you have installed.

Edited April 13, 2014 by Kuldebar

[prizner]

Thanks for the quick reply! It reminded me I hadn't put papyrus/script logging on so I don't have any reports atm. I am going to jump on and go to whiterun and get a report.

[Kuldebar]

Are you using SSME/Sheson and ENB by any chance? (TBH, I assume that you are, but it's always dangerous to assume.)

[DoubleYou]

You didn't happen to have Helgen Reborn active at the beginning at Helgen? Because that will give you a scripted crash.

[camaro_69_327]

HI,

 

Only because i have just finished Step core/ext i see you have a few redundant patches. according to the read-me for the patch, if you use > "STEP Extended Patch.esp" then all of the following are not needed .....

 

StaticMeshImprovementMod-DragonbornTernFix.esp

StaticMeshImprovementMod-FurnitureChestSnowFix.esp

 

AOS_RealisticWater2 patch.esp

AOS-GDO Patch.esp

AOS-WAF Patch.esp

AOS_USKP patch.esp 

 

Someone correct me if i am wrong , as stated i just finished STEP and none of thos are in my load order because i am using the step extended patch. (like the OP).

Just Skyrim Memory Patch (as it was needed for  STEP extended mods) no ENB just ENB boost.

Yea good question. On the audio overhaul for skyrim detailed instructions page. I took the following to mean than since my load order consisted of core and extend items and I would be using the extended patch I would then need the items listed under step core users not using step core patch. However I may be over thinking it.

 

Get the AOS_2 Main File and the AOS_DLC_Compatibility_Patch optional file.

For STEP Core users that are NOT using the STEP Core Patch, also get the following optional files:

• AOS_Guard_Dialog_Overhaul_Compatibility_Patch
• AOS_Realistic_Water2_Compatibility_Patch
• AOS_Unofficial_Skyrim_Patch
• AOS_Weapons_and_Armor_Fixes_Compatibility_Patch

For STEP Extended users that are NOT using the STEP Extended Patch, also get the following optional files:

• AOS_Enhanced_Blood_Textures_Compatibility_Patch
• AOS_Guard_Dialog_Overhaul_Compatibility_Patch
• AOS_Realistic_Water2_Compatibility_Patch
• AOS_Unofficial_Skyrim_Patch
• AOS_Weapons_and_Armor_Fixes_Compatibility_Patch
• AOS_Wet_and_Cold_Compatibility_Patch

[camaro_69_327]

Yes ...but you are using the patch...its in your load order. So you don't need the extra patches, they are included in the extended patch.

 

 

Pull up the read-me for the extended patch, it states what is included.

:)

[prizner]

Yeah you right it is looking like i have a few I do not need thanks man! I am however still not seeing where its says I Don't need

 

AOS-GDO Patch.esp

AOS-WAF Patch.esp

AOS_USKP patch.esp 

 

as the extended patch has

 

• No NPC Greetings is now merged into the STEP Patches, so no need to install it in Section 2.M Gamplay.
• Disable both plugins from Static Mesh Improvement Mod that are installed by the FOMOD or BAIN Wizard.
  • StaticMeshImprovementMod-FurnitureChestSnowFix.esp
  • StaticMeshImprovementMod-DragonbornTernFix.esp
• Do not download or install.
  • WeaponArmorFixes_ambSkyforge_Patch.esp
  • WeaponArmorFixes_GuardDialogueOverhaul_Patch.esp
  • DiversePriests_ConsistentOlderPeoplePatch.esp
  • DiversePriests_BringOutYourDeadPatch.esp
  • BetterQuestObjectives-NECPatch.esp
  • BetterQuestObjectives-PaarDilemmaPatch.esp
  • BetterQuestObjectives-DBForevertoMisc.esp
  • BetterQuestObjectives-AMBSkyforgePatch.esp
  • BetterQuestObjectives-TheChoiceIsYoursPatch.esp
  • EnhancedBlood-ImprovedCombatSounds.esp
  • AOS_ICS Patch.esp
  • AOS_ADS Patch.esp (ADS.esp is from Smooth Blade Draw & Sheathe)
  • AOS_RWT Patch.esp
  • AOS_BlockSparkles Patch.esp
  • AOS_EBT Patch.esp
  • AOS_DSI Patch.esp
  • AOS_WetandCold Patch.esp

Ok so I see it now The read me gave different information than  https://wiki.step-project.com/STEP_Patches#Recommendations

and I figured since I read it on the site I was fine but there are revisions to the patch that are not posted. Thanks again for catching that 

Edited April 13, 2014 by prizner

[camaro_69_327]

just hope i am steering you right..as i took that from the read-me from the new extended patch... i had the other extended patch, and had a missing master..i downloaded the latest extended patch..(yesterday) and that is what i got out of the read-me.

[prizner]

Yeah I will say it seems rather odd that the Read-me states Latest revision on April 1, 2014 and yet the wiki page is April 10, 2014 and yet the wiki page makes no mention of the 

 

-AOS_USKP patch.esp

- AOS-WAF Patch.esp

- AOS-GDO Patch.esp

 

 being included in the patch.

Edited April 13, 2014 by prizner

[DoubleYou]

Those three patches didn't exist at the time of the STEP Patches. Nevertheless, we had patched these into the STEP Patches already, because we're masters of compatibility ;)

[prizner]

Oh that explains it thanks!
