Sluggish game on a good pc, crashes to desktop quite a bit

[Riddleofsteel]

I need some load order professionals to have a peek at my order and see what might be causing all the CTDs and stuttering. Here's my current load order. I can have BOSS do it but there's still 15 or so that have no real home. I'm on patch 1.4 with Old World Blues so far. Thank you.

I'm fixing up your load order, but you just may have way too many mods. At 100 you gotta stop adding more.

I have this SO FAR. I'll revise it later.

[luthienanarion]

Also, IWS (god bless its soul) is known to cause crashes. Until another modder picks it up and writes an update, remove it.

[GothikaGeist]

Huh, I didn't know IWS causes crashes. I really liked that mod too... http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/wallbash.gif

[Riddleofsteel]

Same here. Do I have to start a new game after these removals? The game feels a little mor responsive, but I still get crashes and "not responding". These happen almost always while loading or fast traveling. Thank you for the help.

[GothikaGeist]

For testing purposes always start a new game, because each time you save, you save the plugins into the save data itself. If you make a new game, it's reset. So yes, make a New Game, for testing purposes at least.

[maboru]

In my experience crashes/hangs on fast travel and entering buildings are usually memory related, if you have enough ram to pre-load more cells then that can help. If you don't, then a call is made to your hard drive to load cells more often and that is a slower process. One thing that can help that is to de-frag and optimize your hard drive (NOT if it's a SSD though!).

 

Another problem you have is the NV GameStabilizerA8.esp is known to conflict with NVWillow (and an increasing number of other mods according to their page.)

[Riddleofsteel]

Well, I've been gutting/re-arranging my order. I now notice that right from Doc Mitchell's house (I started a new game), I can carry 680 pounds of gear without touching any Project Nevada options. I think I have some incompatible stuff but I can't prove it. I'll be back with a new load order later. Thanks!
