Crash on Load when loading Saves - Memory Issue

[Varichi]

Hey y'all, I've been modding Skyrim for quite a while, but the game has finally outsmarted me when it comes to new and creative ways to keep me from playing.

 

My Skyrim has decided that it will crash on load if I load any save that breaks the RAM limit. The way that I've gotten around this (because I have applied the ENB memory patch, the LAA executable patch, and I have 12GB of memory) is by "porting in" by loading a save in a low memory area in game. The game usually lets me start a new game, so I have a few saves at the beginning that load up, and after I load one of those, I load my actual save from there.

 

The thing is, the game is finicky. Sometimes, after loading with the save over and over, it decides to crash on loading anyway (and then will later load up just fine on the same save. Weird). I've run the application that displays how RAM you use in game, and the issue is consistent-once the game is loaded, it has no problem going over the 3.1 GB limit. But when loading into the game initially, it crashes when it hits 3.1 GB.

 

I guess my question is this-is there a way to get the memory patch to apply to loading up the game to begin with instead of once the game is already running? I know this is quite an unusual issue, but I thought I would at least check and see if anyone has ever even heard of this happening.

have you tried 'crash fixes'? it has a setting to disable skyrim's memory allocation and instead use standard c, and requires that you download 'skse plugin preloader' to load it before the game starts.

No, I have not. Is its methodology different than SKSE's memory plugin or ENB's memory allocation setting? Meaning, is it redundant with those two things?

 

I'm trying it out now anyway. Thanks for the tip, hopefully it works.

 

EDIT: Holy s**t that worked. Thank you so much for the help!
