nitemare04 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ok, so I've been playing Skyrim since it was released (got it first on xbox.) I recently got it for PC, and at first it was much like normal: occasional lag, infrequent freezes. I soon started modding, but still had no real problems. Recently (started about a day ago) my game started freezing at random, very frequently (the game usually freezes 1-10 minutes after launching.) During a load screen, during combat, when I'm out walking around, when I fast travel... completely random. if I freeze in game the video locks up, but audio continues. If it freezes during a loading screen the audio and smoke animation will continue, but it will never finish loading. I've spent about 5 minutes waiting for it to unfreeze before, but i had no luck, so I don't believe it is a lag issue. at this point the game is becoming downright unplayable & infuriating. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitemare04 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Upon further inspection of my BOSS Log, I noticed that some of my mods contain dirty edits and BOSS says they need tes5edit cleaning. I don't know if this could be the problem, but I've been told that you should leave any mod cleaning to the mod's creator, so I am wary of trying it without further assurance.

Treplos Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) If I were you, I would do a bit of mod troubleshooting. It is a process of elimination. Disable mods 1 by 1 or so, and load the game every time and see if you are still freezing. Some mods script can still be running in your saved game even after you disable the mod, so you you should check their uninstall info to disable those scripts. I suggest you start a new game for testing purposes without any mods and see if you freeze, then take it from there.

ripple Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Looks like you missed a few plugins that need to be cleaned. What do you normally do with the plugins not recognized by BOSS? Also, what's your system specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I activate them in NMM and they work in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripple Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You need to find out if any of those unrecognized plugins contain conflicting records with the other plugins in your load order. Every time you run BOSS, they go to the bottom of the load order and override conflicting records of any mods loaded earlier. The most reliable method of doing this is to load all of your plugins in TES5Edit, expand the records, and check for conflicts. If a plugin contains no conflicting records with the other plugins, you can load it anywhere above your dynamically generated compatibility patches (e.g. Bashed Patch). Otherwise, you will have to decided, based on what sort of conflict it is, where the conflicting plugin should load to best optimized load order stability.

nitemare04 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'll look at that right now. Earlier tonight I went through and removed all the dirty edits listed in BOSS and in the master files. I also deleted a mod or two that I didn't really need. After this the game ran fine. I had one CTD, but those have always been few and far between. after roughly 2 hours of no freezing I started the TG quest the dainty sload. I went to solitude, talked to erikur, and headed towards the docks. Bam. frozen. it was raining, so i thought maybe it's a weather mod. disabled climate mod, reloaded, went to docks, froze. tried again, froze. any ideas on why the Solitude docks specifically are raping me?

nitemare04 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) None of the unrecognized mods had any conflicts. I tried de-activating all my HD retexture mods, as well as the static texture improver and pure waters.i didn't freeze at the docks. got the quest completed, fast traveled to the thieves guild. as i was about to enter the ragged flaggon a window appeared saying that skyrim had stopped working and was going to be closed. i'll restart and see if it happens again.
