CTD during Battle For Whiterun Mission


iTzBo8

Recommended Posts

First, Thank you to anyone who helps me through this issue that I have, which has been present ever since I started the quest "Battle For Whiterun". I am aware that this issue has been mentioned in other posts on this forum before, but I have not found the solution on any website so far with my specific issues.

 

For this, please make note that I have sided with the Imperials for the quest line. This issue is that I am commanded to go outside Whiterun to meet Legate Rikke, she finishes her speech and the Stormcloaks, start attacking. No matter what way that I go about tackling the forces, after 10-15 or so Stormcloaks are killed, I CTD. I have tried going back saves and playing to the same point, deactivating/activating/deleting/reinstalling mods, changing graphic settings ect...

 

My PC is a fairly old build (I would have built a new one if I had the money to XD), I am running a Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2180 @2.00GHz, 2GB of ram and a GTX 240 (1746MB vram).

 

As I mentioned before, I tried different things with the mods that I have installed, but form what I have seen on other sites where a mod has been the culprit, that mod is not installed on my system. Below, I have written the load order while making note of is the mod is loaded or not and where the mod was downloaded from.

Safety Load nexus Y

 

Any Item that modified the guards (identified with *), I removed form the load order after that load order was written, taking these away increased the length of time before the CTD. The last item (Safety Load) was only installed because I was getting Infinite Loading screens, I have tested to see if this effected the CTD, it did not.
Please note that i have spent over 70 hours on this save alone (first run through on pc) and would rather not restart my whole game again.
I have a very limited knowledge of moding and so simple answers would be grateful, but I have an expansive knowledge of computers and operating systems so that is not a problem.
Thank you in advanced to anyone who is able or willing to try and help me. :smile:
EDIT: one extra thing, I have also installed the SKSE mod through the skyrim workshop on steam

I made tiny changes to the Papyrus section, I'll paste what I have now

 

[Papyrus]
fUpdateBudgetMS=4.8
fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=4.8
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000.0
bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0
iMaxMemoryPageSize=512
iMinMemoryPageSize=128
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=1048576
I also tested with taking killthemgenerals out as well and that made no difference.

What the hell, this a hard one.

Try whiterunexenhanced.esp and birdshf.

If these two didn't work, you will have turn off all your esp one by one.

 

Thanks Boombro, removing mods worked eventually, I guess that the game just didn't like having to render so much and keep the mods loaded in ram at the same time (small amount of ram doesn't help lol) :)
