Skyrim trying to run a script repeatedly

I've recently come to notice that my papyrus logs indicate Skyrim trying to run a particular script a lot. And I mean a lot.

If you bother counting, that's 311 times in the course of about 2 hours (i took a break to eat and clean) Granted, it was also trying to and failing to run various other scripts like some Rielking hireling quest scripts, but this is the most prominent (i deleted about 28 pages of the log). There's got to be something going on that causes this script to run, especially since I haven't even gone to Solstheim in over a year (never on this install of windows 7, nor on the pc). I get random ctds and this is always the last script to run (probably a coincidence since it runs so often). Any ideas as to why it's running and any problems it can cause?\

Nobody could even begin to have ideas without the full report from the log for at least one of those instances. Most errors in the log start out with an error line followed by a series of lines which trace the script calls back to the beginning of that particular thread's processing. The line you quote appears to be one of the trace back script calls.

 

If what I said does not make sense, then simply post one of your log pages that includes a few instances of the log entry you are concerned about.

 

For what it is worth, I have not delved into dragonborn yet. So I won't be able to actually give you any insight on what is happening. I just know the extra information would be helpful for someone willing to look into the situation.

My apologies. based on what I've read, logs don't usually give that detailed a report on what caused skyrim to crash. So i didn't post the whole log, just proof that I wasn't exaggerating on the number of times the script ran. This is the latest log, much shorter, but following the same pattern of having that script run multiple times preceding the CTD. Now, in previous logs, the script was ran before and didn't cause crashing, so I personally think that it's a coincidence that it's running (attempting to) right before I get a CTD. On this log, I got an error with frostfall (which I don't have installed nor had installed on this save). Perhaps I should use a save cleaner...

This is why people should turn off papyrus logging. You're just wasting CPU/disk cycles and getting paranoid about perfectly fine vanilla scripts kicking in and doing their thing. 311 times in 2 hours (7200 seconds) = once every 23 seconds. In terms of the scripting engine, that is not "a lot". That's a very conservative check.

 

Whatever is causing your CTDs, it's not that.

 

Also, that is not an error with frostfall, that's another mod checking for the presence of frostfall. Given the moniker "arthlal", most likely Arthmoor's Live Another Life. Again, perfectly fine.

well, if you look at the timestamps, it's every 2 or so seconds. I took quite a long break to eat and clean up a little with the game still paused, it's actually once every 9 seconds or so throughout the actual playtime. Which, is not a conservative check when you realize that these checks are rather rapidly close to each other in checks of about 10-20 at a time. The better question isn't "Why are you worried about a vanilla script?" But "Why is that vanilla script needlessly trying to run... constantly. Solstheim has never been accessed nor has any quests related to Dragonborn been started. That's all I was asking and all I wanted to know. Like I said, it's running so often that it's probably a coincidence that it happens to be running when I CTD, but I didn't rule it out because in experience, anything that does anything fast and often is gonna mess up eventually. That goes from computers to sex and from reading to living.
