Kyronik Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The problem is that my game keeps crashing, but not only that, it is occurring more and more frequently. Skyrim has become unplayable in its current state. My question: Does Skyrim have some limit that I'm pushing too hard, a limit that no amount of processing power or RAM would fix? Or do I finally need to get a gaming rig? I realize that the latter is the more likely of the two, given that I have a medium quality gaming laptop, but I want to get another opinion before building a PC. My meager laptop specs are as follows: Acer Aspire E5-573G Windows 10 CPU: i5 - 5200U (2.20GHz) RAM: 8 GB GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 940M VRAM: 2 GB 1000 GB HDD Below is my load order, sorted automatically by LOOT. 0 0 Skyrim.esm 1 1 Update.esm 2 2 Dawnguard.esm 3 3 HearthFires.esm 4 4 Dragonborn.esm 5 5 Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.esp 6 6 JSwords.esm 7 7 SomeguySeries.esm 8 8 ApachiiHairMales.esm 9 9 MolagBalsInferno.esm 10 a Cutting Room Floor.esp 11 b LegacyoftheDragonborn.esp 12 c Immersive Sounds -

(I wouldn't want to spoil this magnificent story for anybody.) -The only visible bug I experience during normal gameplay is that every forward power attack with a sword will result in a fireball firing out of my sword. (This happens only from the second forward power attack onward in a series of rapid forward power attacks. The first results in a message saying, "Red Eagle's Bane doesn't have enough charge.") -I cleaned my save and followed all the steps when installing Legacy of the Dragonborn: Dragonborn Gallery. -I have not cleaned this save file for any other purpose, despite uninstalling some scripted mods that probably affected my save. (I haven't done it because I doubt that it is the source of my problems.) -Never have I ever manually tweaked and .ini file. -Never have I ever used and ENB. -I have had this laptop for a little over a year now, so the inexplicable performance degradation that laptops face is likely a cause of this.

Kroekr Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Since you removed "some scripted mods" I suggest you do so. That can be a cause of CTD's having orphan scripts running around creating problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algabar Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Just one thing I noticed: 13 d dD - Enhanced Blood Main.esp 14 e dD-Dragonborn-Dawnguard-EBT Patch.esp 15 f dD-No Screen Blood.esp 16 10 dD-Very Long Screen Blood Duration.esp 17 11 dD-Shorter Screen Blood Duration.esp 18 12 dD-More Screen Blood.esp 19 13 dD-Medium Screen Blood Duration.esp 20 14 dD-Longer Screen Blood Duration.esp 21 15 dD-Less Screen Blood.esp This is doesn't make sense. You installed mutually exclusive options of "Enhanced Blood Textures" together. Don't know if this causes CTDs, but it definitely isn't right. Uninstall and reinstall EBT. Use the current FOMOD installer version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
