CTD ingame.

[zeus1966]

Hello everyone. i'm having some trouble recently with my skyrim. i keep on crashing (ingame) roughly around 35-45 minutes that i have observed. i download some mods around 60 plugins. the game runs fine when i enter ingame. can anyone assist me?

Are you using Nexus Mod Mamager?

 

I'll post a small checklist I have been through for my CTD:

 

1.

Install and run the LOOT software: https://github.com/loot/loot/releases/tag/v0.6.0

 

For instructions see Gophers exellent video:

 

Do you get any warnings in the detailed report?

 

 

Note: LOOT is not able to show the reports on my computer, but here is how I solved my issue:

 

Open LOOTDebugLog.txt in %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOOT

At the end of the document there is the following line:

[15:04:58] [trace]: Converting file path "D:\Skyrim Mods\LOOT.Archive\resources\report\report.html?data=C:\Users\computername\AppData\Local\LOOT\Skyrim\reportdata.js" to a URL.

Copy the whole path, eg:

D:\Skyrim Mods\LOOT.Archive\resources\report\report.html?data=C:\Users\computername\AppData\Local\LOOT\Skyrim\reportdata.js

Insert in browser and hit Enter. You will see that the message "The page could not be found". The browser (I use chrome), have changed the "?" sign between .html?data to "%3F" (.html%3Fdata). Edit this back to a "?" and hit Enter.. you should be able to see the log.

Just save the link as a bookmark, and use it every time you have run LOOT

 

 

2.

Go to C:\Users\computername\AppData\

In one of the folders you see (I think it is local) you find a folder called Skyrim. In this folder you have file called Plugin.txt

 

Open it and see if the first line is skyrim.esm (and that it is the only one called skyrim.esm). If not, change it so it is.

 

I refer to this video:

 

 

I'm not at Game-computer, so I wrote this by memory, so apologies if the paths I wrote are wrong, but I' sure you can find them anyhow :)

Hello jagting thank you for replying.

 

I installed the software that you suggested to me. great program by the way. here is the detalied report i have recieved from Loot.

 

Plugins & Message counts

Active plugins =60

Dirty puglins=7

total plugins=60

warnings=12

errors=3

total messages=22

for the second part i went to appdata like you so suggested, i've looked at the plugins.txt

and i put "skyrim.esm" if it wasn't there. i will play the game later on today and see if it doesn't CTD ingame today. thank you some much jagting for assisting me. i wlll keep you updated today see if it works.

We are not done yet :)

 

Your loot data suggest it needs a bit of clean up.

 

I warn you, I am no pro, so I might say something "not entirely true".

 

To clean the mods we use TES5Edit

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25859/?

 

Again we can rely on Gophers great video tutorials:

 

 

 

Text description copied from http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50214/? :

1. Download LOOT, TES5Edit, Wrye Bash, and Savegame script scalpel.
*If you use MO, you have to run these within MO. To do this, click on the gears icon in the toolbar. Select their respective .exe files as the binaries and enter the name of the program as the title. You can now run these programs like you would SKSE or Skyrim.
2. Run LOOT, select "Sort Plugins," and click apply.
*Norton thinks that LOOT is malicious. Check the most common problems for a solution.
*As of MO version 1.2.1, LOOT is integrated into the sort button.
*LOOT 0.6 requires Internet Explorer 11 to generate the reports. This requirement will go away with LOOT 0.7.
3. Go to the "Details" tab and check to see if LOOT recommends any mods be cleaned with TES5Edit. Do not close the results. You'll have to know the order of which ones need cleaning.
4. Run TES5Edit and leave all of your mods checked. Make sure that it doesn't have any errors loading them all.
*If it does, you probably have a mod that you shouldn't be using. Find out which it is, get rid of it, and run LOOT again.
5. Close TES5Edit.
6. Run TES5Edit again and ONLY CHECK THE FIRST MOD IN THE LIST THAT LOOT SAYS NEEDS CLEANING.
*Other mods will load with it. This is normal.
7. When it loads, right click the mod that needs cleaned and select "Apply Filter for Cleaning."
8. Right click again and select "Remove 'Identical to Master' Records." (Yes, you're sure.)
9. Right click again and select "Undelete and Disable References."
10. Close TES5Edit and save. (No, I didn't mess up the order on that. The save dialog pops up when you hit the close button.)
11. Repeat steps 6-10 for each mod that needs cleaning. DO NOT DO MORE THAN ONE MOD AT ONCE.

 

 

Just go from step 2 to 11. As it mention, you can only clean one mod at a time, so you have to repeat it several times.

In the video Gopher shows the procedure with Update.esm, and you have to do the same with the rest of the mods that LOOT lists as needs cleaning (The yellows at the detailed tab)

 

An examble:

Let us say LOOT marks the mod "Skyrim Flora Overhaul" as yellow, and say it needs cleaning in the note.

In TES5EDIT you check only "Skyrim Flora Overhaul" and press OK.. Applying filters, cleaning the files and so on is also done to "Skyrim Flora Overhaul" in the list. Just ignore any other mods that are loaded to the list.

 

 

 

I do not know about the errors.. Perhaps you can post a screenshot of your LOOT "Detais" tab?

Loot suggested and removed a mod that needs removing (I deleted it on the nexus mod manager). after i finished cleaning it. so far i'm still cleaing three more mods but atleast i removed all the "dirty" things that needs cleaning. and again thank you so much jating i really appreciated for helping me. your a life saver.
