Random CTDs getting more and more frequent

[Schattenu]

My game keeps getting CTDs and I can't figure out why for the life of me. I started a new game a couple days ago and was running through it without issue for a good while. I was up to the point in the main quest where I was on my way to Ivarstead to climb the steps to High Hrothgar and stopped to clear out Lost Knife Hideout to level a bit. When I was done, it crashed for the first time during the loading screen on my way back outside.

 

Reloaded, got to Ivarstead and decided to start the Dawnguard questline. Managed to fast travel back to Whiterun, hop a carriage to Riften, head to Fort Dawnguard and talk to Isran, travel to Dawnstar and all through Dimhollow Crypt and take a boat to Castle Volkihar with Serana, became a vampire and left to go back to Ivarstead all without problem. Went to High Hrothgar and got trained by the Greybeards before fast traveling back to Dimhollow to head to Ustengrav. Cleared out a Stormcloak camp along the way, was leaving one of the tents when I got another CTD.

 

Reloaded and played for all of five minutes when it crashed again within 20 feet of the Stormcloak camp. Reloaded again, and decided to see if something about the camp was causing it, so I went back and killed all the Stormcloaks and had no crashes, so that wasn't it. Continued on and went through Ustengrav then back to Riverwood. Got a CTD upon entering the inn. Tried again and chatted with Delphine, managed to get through most of the trip to Kynesgrove when I got another CTD a little way north of Mixwater Mill. Gave it a rest for a while and now I'm getting a CTD on just trying to load my last save, so I couldn't even play the game.

 

And again, can't figure out why. The only two mods I've downloaded recently were Red Mountain Erupts and AMB Blades armor. BOSS isn't telling me anything is wrong, and I've had the Red Mountain mod for almost a week with a different character and never had any issues with it. Can't imagine it's AMB Blades, since that's purely meshes and textures, and these are the first CTDs I've had in quite a while. I've checked both mod pages anyway but haven't found any bug reports on either. :/

I can't help you, but if you try to make your text a little more easy to the eyes you'll probably get more replies... it's rather hard to read all that :x

 

A few paragraphs here and there help a lot.

 

Edit: Yup, that helped a bit :P

No one? D:

[vlaka]

drop brawl_bug.esp (i believe it's part of the USKP)

I'd also load up via Tes5edit and see if any errors pop up. You might be missing appropriate compatibility patches for your weapon/armour mods. A simple bashed patch might be able to fix :)

 

Also it's good idea to run Skyrim Performance Monitor to see how much memory is being utilised :)

[Schattenu]

Tes5edit didn't pop up any errors (I dunno why I keep forgetting to run that before someone tells me to, it's solved so many problems for me lol) but I did get rid of the brawl bug files. Not sure if that was causing the issue, but I'll load up a game and see if anything changes. Thanks though! :)

 

Also I love your avatar.

[vlaka]

Haha, why thank you. Apocalypse is sexy beast isn't he? :P

 

I'd recommend looking at your armour/weapon mods and see if they need compatibility patches if they haven't been updated in a while.

Nico weapons is one of them I think.

 

ALSO check this out: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/753253-only-you-can-prevent-forest-fires/ has a suggested load order category in it that you could try out to keep things in order. If you do rearrange things based on it i'd recommend running Tes5edit and making the necessary adjustments via nmm and then rinse and repeat ;)

 

Good luck, let me know how you go.

[Schattenu]

Pretty sure I downloaded the compatibility patch for Nico's weapons, but I'll double check. The game at least managed to load up my save this time, but I only got another twenty seconds worth of playtime when it crashed again. :/

[vlaka]

Check this out: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26230/?tab=2&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D26230&pUp=1 This modder has released a number of compatibility for Skyrim, some might benefit you.

 

Consider starting a new game with no mods, well you could load up the unofficial patches I guess...give yourself god mode and a few levels and just run around exploring and doing Skyrimy stuff and see if it crashes.

 

Would you happen to have the latest papyrus log?
