snoochems Posted August 5, 2015 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 Posted August 5, 2015 What's in your SKSE.ini file? If you've made one. And if you have, where is it?
0 snoochems Posted August 5, 2015 Author 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 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.
0 hishutup Posted August 5, 2015 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
