Garfink Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Question: I am stress testing my game for stability, I have uninstall a ton of mods, basics again with graphical updates and some very common mods. Not many at all. I am able to spawn 40 fire mages and 20 guards out side whiterun and get NO crashes!!!! So you would say that its pretty rock stable!!! BUT: When I spawn even 1 dragon and then kill it, as I perform the final blow the game CTDs everytime! My theory: Its a NEW GAME, and I haven't completed the first dragon quest and kill my first dragon, so the game's absorb dragon soul script has a FIT and crashes my game. As there aren't suppose to be any dragons at this stage. Anyone any ideas? (I am using only a very small subset of the mods I usually use and there were NEVER this problem before, but I've never tested stability by artificially spawning creatures before either.) (Before anyone ask, it's not a graphical issue, its not a VRAM/RAM issue, its not an INI issue, I am running the unofficial patches, frostfall (which isn't even turned on), realistic needs and diseases and falskaar, I seriously doubt that its mod related, so I think my theory is correct, I guess the best way to test out my theory (very minor spoiler, so small I wouldn't call it a spoiler) is to go to bleak fall's barrow and find the dragon stone and give it the Jarl and kill my first dragon and see if that fixes my problems, but if somebody knows for sure, then I can move on with my mod testing and not worry about it for now.) I am an old hand at modding, I have been doing so since Morrowind, so I have all the basics down. Just so I've written it down somewhere... This may help someone down the track: I tracked my intermittent freezes (which sound continuing in the background) to "Deadly Spell Impact"! No matter which version I installed it consistently crashes my game. Got rid of it and I got the stability mentioned above! SO DON'T follow the S.T.E.P. guide to the letter. (I have an UBER machine, 5Ghz 32Gb, Titan, SSD raid and Deadly Spell Impact kills my game everytime.) Edited August 27, 2013 by Garfink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearlpalkia1 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Sounds to me like it's a particle failure or something, Verify your game cache so Steam can replace the broken files that's used when a Dragon dies.
