snoochems Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hi all, I've spent a weekend installing Skyrim and all the steps for STEP Extended. I've also applied an ENB and a couple of other seemingly harmless mods. Anyways, the game crashes when casting a spell, and I have a lot of trouble loading my save games. Extremely frustrating. I was about to give up on this game again - but I found this thread: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/632420-casting-causes-ctd/ Sounds like what I'm having. I installed MemoryBlocksLog and found that I'm hitting 256 when the game crashes. What do I do now to increase this memory limit. I have Windows 10, 16GB RAM, and a 6GB graphics card.

0 Nozzer66 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 What's in your SKSE.ini file? If you've made one. And if you have, where is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 snoochems Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'm so sorry.... a few more minutes of searching and I wouldn't have needed this thread. I've set up my SKSE.ini file now with DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=1024 (although it seems to limit itself to 768). I guess while I'm here, given that I have excessive amounts of memory, are there any other memory tweaks I should be setting in secret-squirrel-ini files etc?

0 Nozzer66 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 1024 is the total amount, the 256 you set for the scrap heap is part of the 1024. 1024-256 is 768. That should be fine. See how you go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hishutup Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 It would be beneficial to provide the log. People generally default to [Memory] DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768 ScrapHeapSizeMB=256 which is 512MB and 256MB effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
