Valkasha Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The fix for these problems is in the description of the mod: Help! I'm experiencing Infinite Load Screens (ILS) and/or Crashes to Desktop (CTD)!!!In March of 2013, Bethesda released their final patch for Skyrim. Version 1.9.32.0.8. Prior to this, Open Cities Skyrim had little trouble operating in the available memory the game provided.It has since been found though that Patch 1.9 changed something about the way Skyrim allocates its initial pools of memory, likely due to trying to get the DLC to work on the PS3 and then not bothering to make sure the PC had, you know, PC specific code for that.The end result is that when traveling, either on foot or by fast travel, it becomes possible for you to run into problems with ILS/CTD issues. This is especially true in Windhelm and almost guaranteed to happen when trying to get back from Solstheim. It's also likely to happen when fast traveling from one city to another, and CTD may result when trying to enter some interiors after you arrive.Fortunately the community has devised a solution to this problem in the form of a pre-load memory patch. There are several options for these now, but the one I most strongly recommend is shipping as part of SKSE now beginning with SKSE 1.7. In order to configure SKSE 1.7 to resolve this problem, you simply need to make sure your skse.ini file in Data/SKSE contains at least the following lines:[Memory]DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768ScrapHeapSizeMB=256This should resolve the problem on all but the heaviest of load orders. If you still have issues, then you can try either raising the 768 value to 1024, or install ENBoost which will help further reconfigure how RAM is used by the game. There are limits to this, so be careful. Skyrim can only have a maximum of 4GB even on a 64 bit system with boatloads of RAM. Allocate too much to either of the two SKSE settings and you'll be right back where you started with the ILS/CTD problem.My own load order has 96 active mods, and the SKSE settings alone turned it from totally unstable to fairly rock solid reliable.

Valkasha Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Do you have the SKSE.ini file or just the latest SKSE? Because you need to add the ini file. This mod will add it for you: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51038/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
