Recent Loading Issue: Much Slower/Infinite Loading


UnluckyStorm

Recommended Posts

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED. PLEASE SEE THE LAST POST IF YOU ENCOUNTER THE SAME ISSUE!

 

So I thought I had it. I thought I was one of the lucky few who, after hours of tinkering, tweaking and juggling mods, their files, .ini's and everything else, I finally had a relatively stable (though still at times crashy) Skyrim. I'd spent a long time trying to find the perfect balance, but now the balance has been ruined and I seem to be back to square one.

 

Anyway, to the issue.

 

The Short:

Went to Wyrmstooth, tweaked a few ini settings as i was getting a lot of CTDs there. Returned and visited Markarth countryside instead. Travelled to Karthwasten, experienced a few crashes on the way, and completed a small quest there (involving the killing of Mercenaries). Quick-Saved. Left the game. Upon my return, no save would load. Each save was painstakingly slow, even for interior cells. I tried loading an interior autosave, which took about 5-10 minutes. Everything else took even longer. It seems to be a recent issue though I don't understand what's causing it.

 

The Long:

Two days ago I was minding my own merry business, playing Skyrim without a hitch when I visited Wyrmstooth. Unfortunately, for some reason Wyrmstooth caused a lot of lagging and crashing. It was at this point I looked into the form "UGridsToLoad," and also looked into tweaking it. I tried numerous settings here, including: uExterior Cell Buffer, bPreemptivelyUnloadCells and iPreloadSizeLimit. I also edited settings in my ENB ini. I think this is perhaps where I got foolish. Though the game kindly kept running for a while after this.

 

I left Wyrmstooth after all my best efforts as I realised it wasn't going to work at that time, and I just wanted to play Skyrim.

I reloaded an earlier save and decided to travel to nearby Markarth to complete the "House of Horrors" quest (the one involving Boethia). I crashed a few times around this area, though I feel this is what happens in the more intensive areas in Skyrim (also happens to me outside Windhelm and occasionally Solitude). I wandered along that area and came across Karthwasten (the place where the mercenaries are trying to take over the mine?), played a wee bit, killed the bad guys because one of them had a nice jacket, walked about a little, saved, then left for work. Little did I know this was the last time I would be playing Skyrim for a number of days...When I went back to load the same quick save that I had no issue reloading during that last, sweet gaming session, it wouldn't load at all. It would stay on the loading screen for an excessive amount of time. Over 10 minutes. I can't say if it's infinite or not as I haven't waited it out.

 

I actually managed to load an autosave inside a local building earlier today, but it took around 5 minutes to do. And changing armours using my F1-F8 commands (a mod though I can't remember which) takes an insane amount of time. I don't understand what's happened...Additionally, all saves, new and old, pre-tweak and post-tweak, are all cripplingly slow. Furthermore, the Bethesda title during the load screen is now laggy and jittery, a problem I've never had before either. And a problem that has only come up with the issue of loading my games.

TO Recap:

  • Played the game just fine
  • Went to Wyrmstooth
  • Messed about with inis and stuff
  • Realised it wasn't doing anything, reverted changes
  • Played the game just fine
  • Left game
  • Came back
  • Bethesda title laggy
  • Game no load
  • Cry

I feel this is a major stab in the dark. What's even more frustrating is that while trying to look for fixes, I'm only on temporary internet. Meaning it's taking me about 10 minutes to load one forum page...Skyrim was helpful in providing me a really immersive form of escapism currently, one I need and one I've been seeking for a long time. I worked hard to get the game to work, I came back to it after a long hiatus and have played it quite a lot over the last two weeks. Now it's saddening that for no apparent reason, things have just ceased working.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Fellow player of 'Optimization Simulator 2011.'

Courtesy of knightzz the problem has been solved!

 

 

The link is to a "NVIDIA OPTIMUS D3D9 DLL FIX." It works completely and I can now play the game again. Hopefully this helps any that come across the same problem.
