magnemoe Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 More texture mods increase the chance of the game crashing. I have more visible ore http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=193And the lock pick cheat. http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=219Without noticeable problems, game crashes perhaps once every second day. Then I added the Armor Improvement and clothing Improvementhttp://www.skyrimnexus.com/modules/members/index.php?id=2337365I found that the game crashed more often perhaps once every 2-4 hours. After this I added the face improvements http://www.skyrimnexus.com/modules/members/index.php?id=726673and the crash frequency went down to around 30 minutes- 2 hours. Typical crash was, screen going white, sound continue for some time and I had to hard reset, I'm running Win7 64 bit on an amd system with 8gb ram and a ati 5700 graphic card. Without the two texture mods Skyrim uses around 800MB ram and the graphic card is running at around 64 centigrade, can run Oblivion, fallout 3 and fallout NV with plenty of mods. I'm interested if other have problem with texture mods, and if it exist any solutions. I run steam from d:\steam\ as c: is an ssd drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should work like i did. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maboru Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The only way that adding texture files to your data file could cause crashes is if you added very high rez textures that your GPU/video ram can't render fast enough. Many of the texture mods out now offer lower rez versions as well and you can try switching to them. I've added @30 different hi rez texture mods myself and have only run into some minor fps drops in isolated areas (mostly when there's a lot of those horrible shadows.) I don't even notice the fps drops unless I have Fraps running and telling me that! I have noticed that some of the texture mods install instructions tell you to extract to your data file but don't include proper data file trees to do that correctly and that will muck up your data file and could cause problems as well. I always extract to a separate file and manually add the textures where they are supposed to go so you could try that as well. Or you could use NMM and have it do it all automatically for you and make it easier to disable them one at a time to troubleshoot problems.

steroid89 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I got just the same problem... more mods you put, more memory it uses, doesnt clean up after itself, crushes more often...and i have 6 gigs of ram and tried it on 32 bit and 64 bit win 7, with LAA patch that still doesnt work for me anyway... i just decided to wait until decent patch..

FriskyCthulhu Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm getting this too. I know that the Solitude and Whiterun texture packs seem to have considerable problems when used along side of many other popular texture mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maboru Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have the Solitude and Whiterun hi-rez packs too but no problems. I do believe there is memory leakage in the game though. What I do is every hour or so close out the game, run a memory de-fragger and start back up. That seems to help. Another thing I do is limit my save games to 20 (including the 3 vanilla timed auto saves and the quick save, I don't do any of the 'auto save on...') and just over write the oldest each time I do a manual save. (The saves bloat very badly as you get further into the game.) De-fragging your hard drive will help with all the sequential reads Skyrim does as well (NOT for SSDs though!) I also use the LAA fix which helps if you have more than 2gb RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
