diaphantos Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) So, I can't seem to start a New Game, after choosing that option from the menu, the game will freeze. I decided to take use Skyrim Performance Monitor, and this was the result. http://i42.tinypic.com/oanp53.jpg As you can see, there's a big drop in memory around Sample 345, and I have no idea what's causing it. The actual order of events is: Sample 1-60: Skyrim is starting, the game screen has not opened Sample 60-180: Game Screen opens, Main menu is loading Sample 180-345: Main menu finishes loading. Selecting New Game causes the gradual rise in memory useage. Sample 345- : Memory usage drops, game freezes, but does not CTD. The last time I played Skyrim was about a month ago, and I remember Skyrim taking using at least 1gb of RAM. I honestly have no idea what could be causing this. Anyone know what's wrong? My game is heavily modded, but I do not believe that is the cause. I use Mod Organizer, which keeps each Mod's files separate and puts them together into a virtual data folder when needed, and BOSS tells me I have no major conflicts. Note that although BOSS lists my total mods as 257, several of them are inactive, so I'm actually below the 255 limit. I'm not sure why BOSS is picking them up, possibly a limitation of using BOSS through Mod Organizer. Running Skyrim with no mods leads the the same issue, although I'm able to go further. http://i41.tinypic.com/s58bqd.jpgWhat could cause something like this? I've never run into a similar issue before. I haven't noticed this with any other program, so I'm inclined to think it happens only with Skyrim, but I'm not sure if any of my other programs require as much memory as Skyrim.

Georgiegril Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Skyrim needs an actual video card to run well.Trying to run a heavily modded game with integrated video is going to give you exactly the results you are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diaphantos Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 It used to work, by using 1+Gb of RAM. How can I get Skyrim to do that again? Or more importantly, what could be preventing Skyrim from behaving as it was before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
