[bug Fix in my second post after this one] (Important note at end of comment) My "Skyrim crash after a set amount of time" is complicated. This is how_ My Skyrim crashes after a few seconds BUT, I can reload a save and play from that save for several hours until I reach the same game time as I had in the previous save that crashes after some seconds. From there on, if I manage to save, it will start crashing after a few seconds from there. It is like there's a permanent deadline that I can't get past. It is so weird. Note: I have so far only witnessed two occurances of this, but I really really suspect that it will keep happening. I will report back and tell you if it keeps happening, and any potential solutions. Report: Due to circumstances (that will be explained now) I am not able to "witness" the specific crash. This report is a report of my potential solution: I use LOOT and FNIS. 1. I created a FULL mod backup in NMM and restored it. Effect: Skyrim crashes on startup even though all plugins are green. (NOT literally green. Green is just a manner of speech for "it is as planned. Nothing out of the ordinary") - 1. - Fix: I used NMM tools to disable all mods. Every single mod that is disabled will be uninstalled and installed again manually by me. - Effect: Crash on startup is fixed. Made sure to install framework mods before the mods that use the framework. ("framework mods" is a word I created for mods that need to be installed before other mods so that the other mods can work) 2. Finished reinstalling framework mods. Effect: Step 1 had zero effect on the crashing problem. It would be great if the one that started this thread Demonik420 would've gone in depth on how they did what they did. 3. I will uninstall every single mod and make a completely clean save using FNIS, LOOT, and The skyrim Save Game Script Cleaner. I will: - Use NMM to purge unmanaged files. - Use LOOT to orgnaise absolutely nothing. (It should be nothing) - Use FNIS to set the animations straight. - Use steam to validate files. Both Skyrim and SKSE. ______ - Some extra things I did: Uninstall and reinstall FNIS, LOOT, and NMM. After all that, I will install everything again. Effect: Success! I can now play my game again successfully! But I have no idea why, and I am very afraid that the crash bug itself is not fixed. But I am able to play for now without crashing. It would be best for someone to investigate this. Important note: Everything is a success, but not completely. You skyrim WILL run smoothly and well if you solve it like I did, but after a few days, you will again encounter the same crash issue. Remember to store your items somewhere you can get them back after redoing everything above. If you do this over and over, you will presumably be able to play Skyrim. It would be best if someone found a better solution, although, my solution does work.
