Critter script bugfix

[Lanceor]

Steve, have you thought of putting all your script fixes together as a mod? I'm already using the dunBluePalaceArena, fxDustDropRandom and lvlpredatorscript fixes and this is another one added to my list. :smile:

[ztrathego]

How, if at all, does this differ from the updated critter.psc/.pex included in the Unofficial Skyrim Patch? Have they included your fixes, or does this build upon it etc?

[steve40]

@ztrathego: I've built upon any changes that USKP have made.

 

I've updated the archive and included a fix for "critterFish" script. I don't think USKP has attempted to fix that script yet.

 

I'm fixing errors as I encounter them while I play.

[ztrathego]

Thanks for the quick response. :)

Hi, downloaded and running your fix scripts for lvlpredator and critter scripts and they've done wonders for my game stability, so a big thanks even though they are WIP.

 

Another bug which I'm not sure youve hit yet I hit on a stretch just after Rorikstead I crashed with a 58MB payrus log full of:

I am running Willows 101 bugs which exacerbates the problem but I'm pretty sure the bugs are in the critter scripts.

 

Edit:

Ok .. started a new game, and still getting this bloating my logs and eventually ctding. The more wilderness wandering the sooner the log bloats and I evntually ctd. It has helped in one sense in that I no longer get the randomish ctd caused by the crittermoth script, however its not not stable enough for me to use yet.

Tried the critter.psc fix and I'm still having an issue. After adding Steve's file it says there's an issue with line 255.

Will this work differently then the "clearinvalidregistrations" SKSE.ini script?

Just an FYI, but this will do nothing for these log spamming scripts. That setting ONLY applies to mods which have been removed from the game and left behind rogue RegisterForUpdate type events. Since you obviously can't remove Skyrim.esm from the game, any registrations it makes are entirely valid even if they're bugged to all hell. SKSE will NOT remove these.

 

@Steve40: Some folks are asking for us to incorporate this into the USKP. Would you have any objection to us doing so? If not, can we have your permission to incorporate this once we've put it through some testing?

[steve40]

Hi Arthmoor,

 

You're welcome to use any bugfixes that I publish on Nexus in USKP.

 

Cheers.

Hmmm, I enter this location:

 

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Blind_Cliff_Cave

 

the skse log will spammed around 50-60MB before get CTD, same as the report of "slamminuk".

 

And when I leave the area, and go another location, the log is spammed, and 5-6 minute to get CTD.

 

My mods: only unofficial pathces:

 

Dawnguard.esm
Hearthfires.esm
Dragonborn.esm
Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp
Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp
Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp
Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp

Like I said earlier, I'm only fixing critter errors that appear in *my* game while I'm playing. I can't possibly remote debug everyone else's game, it's like trying to fix a car blindfolded.
