CTD when decapitating enemies.

[Yizzin]

Hello,

 

I'm getting CTD only when I decapitate enemies, in the beginning I didn't know what the problem was, but after some test I found out that it only happens when any decapitation animation is execute, also, sometimes when doing regular killmoves (I can play 4 hours with no problems, but suddenly one killmove can give me a glorious CTD when killing an enemy).

 

To avoid this problem I'm using TheDanceOfDeath reducing any decapitation chance to 0%, but you know what? it's not that fun, and I know what the problem is, so maybe you guys know what is causing this instability.

 

To be honest I did finished the game already and I did enjoy it a lot after a tremendous amount of struggle to make it playable, so now I just wander the world for fun, and I found out this little issue. If it can be fixed wonderful, otherwise I'm not going to strive anymore, I just got sick of Skyrim's damns CTD.

 

"Damn stormcloacks; everything was good until I CTD"

 

Note: Are you curious about how my Skyrim looks like?

Woow you guys forget about this, I just found a solution :laugh: . I promise I will put 100% chance of decapitation and slay those f*****s who were causing instability to my game. Now I can cut heads all the time with no problems.

 

I'm going to post the solution I found, and how I found it, maybe it will work for other people with this problem.

 

Because Skyrim is a little brat and it just CTD is almost impossible to understand what is wrong... I was searching and I found out that some ppl were having similar issues when their characters were decapitated, so I tried their solution, for their problem was quite similar to mine. The solution was to tweak two values in SKSE>Plugings>niooverride.ini

 

[Overlays/Face] ; "Face [Ovl#]" and "Face [sOvl#]"

; Determines how many face overlays there should be

iNumOverlays=0 ; Default[3]

iSpellOverlays=0 ; Default[1]

*Note: If your having any problems like this change those values by 0. My problem was that one of my mods which makes NPCs blush when intoxicated or having sex was conflicting every time their heads were cut off, I don't know the technical solution but it is logical to think that if the head goes off from the character the script cannot work properly, as a result you get the Skyrim blessing: CTD. I was able to figure this out because when I changed the values by 0 in niooverraide.ini the game did not crash when cutting heads, but the script started to show an error in the upper corner of the screen (It would be beautiful if every time there's a problem the problem were told instead of getting a CTD).

So what I did was just disable the blush on NPC and the damn problem is gone!

CTD are not for "coincidence", so this might be useful to you if you're hunting an specific problem in your Skyrim, everything is logical.

Happy Hunting :blush:

[Holfyy]

That worked perfectly for me thank you <3

[SatansComrade]

Yeah. I used to get this a lot!

 

I stopped slicing heads off to try and stop it, but my Followers and Dremora Lords liked to chop heads off, so I still got it! :laugh:

 

"bEnableFaceOverlays=0" fixed the problem for me.

[RealmRoamer]

Thanks for the solution. It works!

 

The setting of bEnableFaceOverlays is defined in the file "skse\plugins\skee64.ini" in the RaceMenu mod.
