Encountering random crash areas!

[Chanto327]

I have been experiencing this issue ever since I upgraded to UFCOM and added a large amount of immersion mods to the game. Every now and then, while exploring, I'll come across an area--totally inconspicuous from its surroundings--that will, without fail, crash my game the moment I set foot into them. Extremely frustrating when you haven't saved in a long while, and still annoying besides, trying to work one's way around an invisible crash bubble. It would seem that the problem is whenever I enter these areas, the game ends up overworking itself trying to do....well, SOMETHING or other, because once I get back to the desktop, a gadget on there shows that my RAM peaked out at the moment of CTD. Does anyone know what can be done about this? I've tried turning off Distant LOD, shadows, and HDR, but nothing works!

Any help would be appreciated! :blink:

Since you have Unique Landscapes installed your graphics card (it is up to the task, I presume?) is already going to be taxed, but who would want to uninstall that, right? So, definitely uninstall Tamriel VWD v0.5.esp and any other texture replacers, like Quarls TP3. Also, anything like HGEC High Res textures and hi-res armour textures will also have a detrimental effect. I would also consider removing MMM - More Wilderness Life, as this will also add burden to your already struggling graphics card.

[Chanto327]

Uhm...Alright, I removed Tamriel VWD...And now the game crashes the instant my file finishes loading, even when I turn LOD all the way down. >___>. Was there something else I was supposed to do besides just removing the .esp?

[Hickory]

Well, yes, I assumed (since you had installed it) that you would know to uninstall it, since it's a mesh and LOD replacer. You need to remove any meshes and DistantLOD files it installed, and then re-run TES4LODGen.

[Chanto327]

Ahhh. Yeah, I have...a bit of experience, but there are still some things I'm unfamiliar with, sorry I made you assume otherwise. XP

 

Anyway, I removed all of the files it added, ran the program...and it's still crashing when the save loads. =/. Is there any other info I could provide that might help?

[Hickory]

Ok, let's get this out of the way:

 

Do you have the latest version of BOSS, the BOSS masterlist, Wrye Bash and OBSE?

 

In Wrye Bash, do you have your Bash Tags window (bottom right) set to Automatic, so it uses BOSS suggestions?

 

When you add, remove or alter any mod, do you rebuild your Bashed Patch, and do you go through the patch options to ensure that each mod you have installed is checked, and any that you have, but are NOT installed are NOT checked?

 

Do you run your game from the OBSE loader?

I had all of those, except maybe the latest BOSS & Masterlist, which I just downloaded and re-ordered my mods with, though it really didn't change much, far as I can see, >_>

 

In Wrye Bash, do you have your Bash Tags window (bottom right) set to Automatic, so it uses BOSS suggestions?

Yep.

 

When you add, remove or alter any mod, do you rebuild your Bashed Patch, and do you go through the patch options to ensure that each mod you have installed is checked, and any that you have, but are NOT installed are NOT checked?

That I do, though I tend to clear out any mods that I don't want to install, so there's not really any of those in there.

 

Do you run your game from the OBSE loader?

 

Every time. I rebuilt the patch again after re-ordering with my updated BOSS. STILL having the problem.

 

I should probably note that I CAN load up a save file I have in The Testing Hall, but once it loads up, I can't see anything but my stat bars and stuff at the bottom of the screen, and messages telling me I'm over-encumbered, among other things. =/

[Hickory]

Here's what I would do to troubleshoot, since you seem to be having this issure with save games: I would start a new troubleshooting game - no console hacks/cheats/fullactorcopies etc. Start from fresh (save in a new slot) and get yourself up to Jauffre. If you can get that far, then there is a high probability that the problem is with your saved game/s.
