Loading CTD

[sammwatkins]

Problem

 

The problem occurs in two instances: 1) When I load a save I immediately CTD 2) When I enter a new area, interior or exterior, I immediately CTD. I am relatively new to Skyrim and although this problem does not happen every time, it happens most of the time, essentially breaking the game.

Final Comments

After a lot of time Googling "VM is thawing..." and trying to find fixes, it seems I have exhausted a lot of options, without going into files and messing with the code. Overall I was having a lot of fun playing the game but this problem is really rather annoying!

Any thoughts, comments, opinions or related feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Looking at your crash log my best guess is that one of your installed mods is still using the separate unofficial patches and has not been configured for USLEEP yet. Have you run loot?

[sammwatkins]

Yes, I always used loot for the 26 days since I first modded...and I checked that all the mods were up to date...

 

I have just tried uninstalling all the mods, reinstalling Skyrim and the problem is still happening. Wondering if I might have a corrupt save somehow? I really hope not otherwise that is 100 hours down the drain!

[jpm22112]

I feel your pain! have you tried saved game cleaner? maybe you have an orphaned script causing these issues? could be worth a try.

[sammwatkins]

Unfortunately that didn't work either! Which is very sad...well I guess I will wait a year and come back...thanks for your help!
