Wondering if MEM patch is working correctly


Question

Posted
Starting to get frequent CTD's running from Whiterun to Riverwood (last test lasted 17 minutes before CTD)  and 4 out of 10 times when I exit Whiterun to Skyrim.

I have UGRIDS at 7, running Vividian High Quality version.

I have 4G vram and before I crashed it registered 3824mb per Skyrim Performance monitor.  

I have most of the SR/LE graphics mods installed along with REGS too with about 250 plugins.  

I realize I'm probably pushing things and can live with the 1 hour CTD but they're now becoming more frequent.  For starters I just want to make sure I have the MEM patch working at least. Thanks.  

 

I also ran the the speedmult 1500 test before I launched a new playthru and didn't CTD.   Game looks beautiful but I'm probably never going to get a playthru using anything greater than 10 mods and stick figures...

Disagree on the advice to raise block 2.

 

The truth is that the game never accesses more than 256 for block 2, even if you set it higher. Sheson tried to figure out why this is true, but that is still unknown. Personally, I've played with block 2 fully maxed out at 256 for hours without any CTDs.

 

Back when Sheson first introduced it and many people were running tests, it was found that for many people (myself included,) block 2 only needs to be raised to 512 when block 1 (as reported in Memblock) is set to either 768 or 1024. You will know that block 2 needs to be raised if you set block 1 higher and then Skyrim crashes on start up.

 

My advice is to keep Memory Block Log going until you've had a chance to run through a number of areas known to push the block 1 heap usage quite high, such as around Solitude and/or Windhelm.

 

However, based on your Memory Block usage log, your skse.ini is fine. Which means your crashes are being caused by something else. Perhaps your enblocal.ini / ENBoost settings?

really because I know the way it is supposed to work is that it'll just create another block 2 but I have seen multiple instances myself were it'll CTD right after hitting 255. I even compared it with the time and it was really close.

 

I have never needed to raise block 1 beyond a value of 512 MB...

 

I remember looking for info a while back on that and there was little info other than that really large thread. I just know that there were a few sets of ini setting going around.

the common 768|256

another version 1024|256

and a really heavily modded version 1024|512

 

I have found that it is best to leave it at the default values of 768|256 but I haven't come across any harm or 768|512

Thanks.  Good to know that it's working as it should.   The fact that my RAM never goes above 1200mb means ENB (.264 and Vividian 6.03)  is working correctly too ?   Not at home-don't have my settings- but am sure they are what NEO / Vividian recommended since I don't know enough to tinker.  Oh well another start aborted, back to troubleshooting

I think your RAM usage looks really good considering all the mods and texture packs you are using. Just as a point of comparison, my RAM usage never exceeds 1200mb (and averages right around 1100mb) with STEP Extended and REGS, so in your case I think ENBhost is doing what it's supposed to do. If you're curious to see what ENBHost is doing, check "Combined TESV and ENBHost System RAM" in the Miscellaneous Settings tab in Skyrim Performance Monitor. With this enabled, you'll see all the RAM ENBHost is pulling out of TESV into a 64-bit process space. I doubt it's really useful other than to see ENBHost working, though.

Been reading up on some threads here and I'm going to give the below setting a shot.  I have 16g ram and 4g vram.  I was previously using the settings 64 and 4096 respectively.  We'll see how this goes...

 

ReservedMemorySizeMb=256

VideoMemorySizeMb=8192
