Game crashes - memory block hits 26

[snoochems]

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.

What's in your SKSE.ini file? If you've made one. And if you have, where is it?

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?

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.

It would be beneficial to provide the log.

 

People generally default to

[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
ScrapHeapSizeMB=256

which is 512MB and 256MB effective
