changxj Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 My skyrim patch is 1.9.32.08, it means the allowed maximum usage is 4G ram , and my skse edition is 1.6.16, I even used CFF explorer to edit skse to app can handle more than 2G adress space, but game still crashes once it reaches 1.9GB usage, my memory size is 16G,titan graph card , win7 64 bit system , so it doesn't seem to be my computer problem, do anyone know how to solve this ?
Jodi79 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 http://www.rcrncommunity.com/five-quick-skyrim-tweaks-you-may-not-know quote from the link Bethesda released the “4gb patch” more than 8 months ago, but this doesn’t really matter, it was just a LAA fix in order to allow the properly handling of memory under 64 bit systems. But this doesn’t necessarily mean your system will automatically use more than 4gb of RAM!In order to tell to Skyrim your correct amount of system memory you have to apply the following tweak:Open your Skyrim.ini, usually located at the path: C:\Users\youruser\Documents\My Games\Skyrim and search for the line under the [Papyrus] section: iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=******* Then change the value marked as “*******” with the approximate amount of your system memory, by consulting the tab below:if you have 4GB of ram -> iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2000000000if you have 6GB of ram -> iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=3000000000if you have 8GB of ram -> iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=4000000000(if the line is not there, simply add the appropriate line *only one choosing with your systems RAM amount)This tweak usually helps really a lot, we found that the game is about 20% smoother when the properly memory value is set!
changxj Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) thanks, but game still crashes when it reaches 2023BM, it's better, but how can I use more than 2G usage? Edited November 10, 2013 by changxj
Jodi79 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) teorically with this setting you should play at 4gb... but i have the same problem.have you an amd video card? i read in tomhardware forum that the ati driver doesn't recognize skyrim 4gb (and of course i have amd... lucky me :down: ) the only way to play without CTD every few minutes it's been for me to uninstall Highres dlc and static mesh improvemet, and lowerize distant details to high (but keeping flora overhaul, various npc addictions, large quest such Falskaar and moonpath, rcrn, and several script mods such frostfall etc. at the end, Skyrim without Hd is still nice and easy ^^).

changxj Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 does that mean I can never play over 2 G ram with a Nvidia video card?
luthienanarion Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 This is obvious, but it has to be asked. Are you running a 64-bit version of Windows?
Twitche21 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Don't follow that papyrus tweak, those are really old and have a good chance of making your game unstable.The MAX for iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes is 2457600. Anything above that causes instability.Here is mine for reference.[Papyrus]fUpdateBudgetMS=800fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=800 fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=1000.0 iMinMemoryPageSize=256iMaxMemoryPageSize=512iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2457600bEnableLogging=0bEnableTrace=0bLoadDebugInformation=0If you use an ENB go into enblocal and change VideoMemorySizeMb= using this formula, VRAM + RAM - 2048 =Since I have 2GB VRAM and 8GB RAM I changed it to 8192.
