30 hours in, game just started CTDing on killmoves and .Net Script Framework isn't recognizing/logging them

[musterduck]

Hi, new player here. My game has been very stable up until now, just hit Shroud Hearth Barrow and suddenly it's crashing left and right. It crashed when I first killed Wyndelius (without a killmove actually,) crashed after clearing out the first room where the Draugr ambush you, crashed 3+ times after clearing out the skeleton archers further up. So I'm not 100% certain it's strictly related to killmoves because it's happened when I kill without a killmove, but in my testing it crashes 100% of the time when I use a killmove.

 

Here's my Modwatch: Modwat.ch

Ignore that it says Classic, I'm using Vortex which I think is why it's doing that.

 

I've checked the crash folder for .Net Script Framework and for whatever reason these aren't registering so it doesn't log them (the most recent crashes in there are from before I started the save and was testing my load order.)

I posted about this on the SkyrimMods subreddit and so far everyone's just telling me to check NSF's crash logs so I'm at a loss for what to do: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/q7wid0/30_hours_into_a_save_im_in_shroud_hearth_barrow/

 

I'd really appreciate any help, I'm honestly addicted to the game at this point.

 

I can't think of any mods I have that would affect killmoves. (No Violens, no Maximum Carnage, no combat overhauls bc I wanted my first playthrough to be somewhat vanilla, etc.) I made sure to run GenerateFNISforUsers after installing everything, then I created a Bashed Patch with the default options ticked and haven't altered my modlist since then other than adding Craftable Torches and redoing both of the previous steps to be safe.

 

Is there any other crash log, like through SKSE or something, that I'm missing?

 

I've also just noticed in my last attempt before posting that I also haven't been able to level up to 12 because of this, which may or may not be related because sometimes it crashes during the kill animation and sometimes a few seconds afterward when the level-up sound plays, so it's probably coincidental. Tested it with player.advlevel and no crash so pretty sure it's the killmove.

I wouldn't be so sure it's strictly your kill moves here. You said it happened after you killed some of the npcs without kill moves correct? That makes me wonder about the deaths themselves in that sometimes things happens when a npc dies. For example, a person could use soul trap and after killing an npc you crash because you have a mod that alters soul traps incorrectly. Not saying you do, but the fact you get an inconsistent CTD on npc deaths is pretty sus..

 

Did you maybe start using a new mod added weapon or some new spells before you went to Shroud Hearth Barrow? Enchant a weapon with a new enchantment? Look at everything you did prior to going there. It could be that you have an issue that your only just now encountering 30 hours in because you've started doing something different. Or perhaps an issue with Shroud Hearth Barrow itself.. does any of your mods alter the dungeon?

 

You also mentioned the CTD happened upon leveling up.. did you add anything recently that affects perks? Skill trees? Change the sound played when you reach a new level?

 

If you want to cancel out the possibility it's kill move related, I would download Violens and use it to disable kill moves entirely (which is how I play until a certain skill level at which point I turn them back on). Try to clear out the dungeon and see if it still does it.

 

*edit*

You know now that I think about it, leave Shroud Hearth Barrow and go murder some other things. See if your CTD mysteriously vanishes after you do some kill moves and level up n stuff. Then you know you've got issues in that dungeon.
