Corrupt saves and CTD when reaching some level

[Thezibaim]

Good evening,

 

I've got a big problem to my Skyrim. During an old game, the saves became corrupted when my character reached level 19 ; when I wanted to do a quick save or go to the next area, the game crashes. Before this level, no problema (I got from time to time some CTDs but nothing to be afraid).

 

So I decided to uninstall and reinstall completely and carefully Skyrim but with less mods. But after many hours of play, I've got exactly the same problem, at level 26 this time...

 

I don't know which mod causes this problem. My load order if it can help someone to find it :

Before I got these problems of corrupt save games, I used SKSE 1.7.1 ; I installed the beta version (1.7.2) to use the Race Menu mod version 3.2.0. I don't know if it is linked but I find it weird.

Try enabling a papyrus log to see what is going on and post that. Also have you tried one of the savegame script cleaners?

How do I do that ? By using PDT Wrapper ?

 

I've used a Savegame Script Cleaner and it has removed 6 scripts instances on my last save.

 

By the way I've tried a tip given by a friend : when the save is load, open console command, select your character and type "kill" to er... kill him :laugh: After that I can make a quicksave or go to a new area. It works ^^

[HeyYou]

Don't use quicksaves......

[Thezibaim]

Don't use quicksaves......

It's not the problem of quicksaves or not ; when I wanted to save (manually or not), the game crashed.

I had the same problem in Oblivion; turns out that I had to remove my most recent saves -which had been corrupted. When all corrupted savegames had been removed, the save feature returned to normal. Also, during the time saving would crash my game, there was an unusual file in my savegame directory; it had the exact same name as my last save -which would crash the game- but a different extension. Merely removing this odd file did not solve the problem -removing all corrupted saves and the file with the unknown format did.

Why not? I'm genuinly curious as to why one shouldn't use quicksaves.

[vram1974]

The primary advantage to not using quicksave is that you've got more than one copy or your save.

 

I save manually every five minutes or so, which means over the course of an hour I have 12 saves. If something goes wrong with my save I can return to several iterations of stable play.

I get CTD on saves when I running out of resources. The last time it occurred my vram was up to 3.73gb.

 

Skrim won't load a corrupted save. If you have a save that CTDs there are a lot of reasons for that.

 

1. lack of resources. To test this switch off your HighResTexturePacks. If your can run longer & save you have your answer.

 

2. Not using the memory patches described in the sticky. I still use "safety Load' as well. My game runs better with it than without it.

 

3. Race you choose. I have found than some races are more stable than others. My Skrim has 254+ mods, runs at 2560x1440 with ENB usually runs for about 6 hours before I have resource issues. Then I tried to use the Breton race. After level 20 I got CTDs to the point to were it was unplayable. I changed the race & the save became playable again. This is probably due to my setup. But a similar thing could be happening to you.

 

4. Updates. An Unoffial Patch update took out all my saves. They would run for about 12 minutes and then CTD. I try to keep an older version of all the mods I download until the new one are tested.

 

I don't see anything in your load list that can cause this unless you have a week system.

 

Later

Anyhow, give us a pappy log. That's the only thing that will usually help.

 

You can look up how to enable pap logs.

So just start a new game, make it crash and send out pap 0.
