SKSE users who can get 1280 heap size

[yudhi108]

what is the max the block sizes can be increased to, and please, where do i edit the block sizes?

 

I have 6gb VRAM (titan black), and 16gb memory. it's a work in progress for me learning how to get the most out of my system in skyrim. it's the one thing i truly hate about skyrim.

If the game is not crashing due to block being maxed then there is no reason for you to increase that number.

 

And yes, SKSE.ini is the file you need to edit.

Snaged a couple of posts from Sheson ...as the are relevant to this....

Block2 usage can not be increased atm. There are a few boundary checks in the code so it will never use more than 256MB no matter the settings.

This really should not be a problem, because when block2 is full, more memory is allocated in smaller chunks somewhere else. Unlike block1 this doesn't cause CTD as far as I know. Since you are not yet hitting the limit of 256 when you CTD the cause is most likely something else.

 

Knew i read about this someplace...just had to dig for it a bit...lol

That one movapps works with memory allocated by block1. As we discussed earlier there is no real point in changing it as long as block is never fully used. If not changed it will cause CTD sooner than later when block 1 is full. But also a lot of other things will cause CTD anyhow.

I never really investigated why allocating a larger block2 is needed when block1 is set to high values to make the game start. Instead I tried a few simple futile stabs at making it use a larger block2 to no avail.

It almost sounds like you are seeing CTD when block2 initial allocation is filled? Anyhow, when I did these futile stabs I filled block2 with 1000s NPC and watched it allocate new chunks past the initial 256MB without any CTDs. block2 allocation and usage is really different from block1.

I guess I may revisit block2 at some time, but as long as my game is not crashing at all and my memory usage doesn't require me to change block2 there is little reason at the moment.

 

Many users have reported having to change Block 2, even tho it can never use more the 256.

 

Really Glad we had people like this fixing Skyrim. Modders Rock!

For adjusting your memory block sizes I recommend this first and foremost so you can visually see what is happening.
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50471/?

Then visit whatever your folder structure is, mine is G:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data\SKSE

Visit this page and download the SKSE.INI and place it in that folder. This is where you will adjust your block sizes.

Run Skyrim till it crashes then visit \SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data\SKSE\logs and open your memoryblockslog.log ( second out of three) and open it with write.exe or notepad++ or whatever you like to use

and you will see a log like this:

logging of blocks enabled

logging max values only

Timer disabled

Block1 Block2

Notice how I am already reaching the limit! haha

Another thing to note is that what you enter for the first block; 256 will be subtracted from that for reasons that I don't understand.

As the other users mentioned don't worry about the second block, it will never go above 256; but for some reason setting the first block higher than 768 (which ends up being 512) results in a CTD at the menu unless you bring the second block up to 512....even though it is not used. I can find no correlation with this.

DON'T USE SAFETY LOAD OR SSME WITH THIS. REMOVE THEM IF YOU USE THIS
it is the same thing
