Game crashes after skyrim logo after very weird circumstances

[Forrester030]

hi.

 

this is my first entry in this forum, hoping i'm doing everything right. from german so pls excuse my english skills.

 

so my game is crashing right after the skyrim logo shows up and right before the menu to start the game pops up.

 

i could play it for a little, modded it to the fullest, and reinstalled it one time since then. i think the problem aren't the mods. the game just crashes after specific circumstandes.

 

for example:

 

i can play the game. fully modded. everything works just fine. then i go to the skyrim launcher to set up a few grafic settings. when i change the settings in general settings, everything is ok. even when i pull up the settings in "advanced - detail" everything works fine. then i go over to view distance, and AFTER THAT, the game crashes right after startup.

 

what do i have to do to get the game working again? i restart the comupter, go to skyrim ini. change the language to ENGLISH. save the ini, start game and it crashes after start like before. THEN i go back to skyrim ini, change language back to GERMAN and IT WORKS AGAIN.

 

my opinion:

 

its something in the ini settings. or something in the grafix settings with grass density...

 

please help me solving this problem. any ideas?

 

i tried to upload my ini file but it didnt work.

 

pc:

processor amd fx6100 sixcore 3,30 ghz

8 gb ram

64 bit

nvidia geforce gtx550 ti

Hello,

• CTDs troubleshooting page on Reddit. depending on what's happening in game, choose the subsections that describe the best your problem.
• <i can play the game. fully modded. everything works just fine. then i go to the skyrim launcher to set up a few grafic settings. when i change the settings in general settings, everything is ok. even when i pull up the settings in "advanced - detail" everything works fine. then i go over to view distance, and AFTER THAT, the game crashes right after startup.> Backup your ini files and delete the files. Skyrim.ini / SkyrimCustom.ini / SkyrimPrefs.ini found in C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Skyrim then use your vanilla launcher to autodetect and use best settings for your computer and test in game.
• STEP INI tweaking wiki.
• Verify gamecache.
• Make sure you're using the good mods >> Dangerous mods list.

Here is a list of things that may help stabilizing your game if not already been done. :

/// Load order / mods conflicts :

• Use L.O.O.T once and click on the "sort plugins buttons".
• Create a wryebash patch including leveled lists.
• Create a merged patch with Tesedit excluding leveled lists
• How things work in Tes5edit : load order / conflict looser - winner / Forwarding / adding as a master. More specifically, you may create a manual patch between two or more mods.

/// Cleaning and correcting potential bugs :

• Clean your master files to eliminate potential problems : Gopher's videos cleaning your masterfiles on the Nexus Tesedit page. You may use this updated guide to clean your masters. It contains the same automated cleaning procedure as Gopher explains in his video + repeating once for Dawnguard.esm + some selective manual cleaning.
• The method above can be used to clean mods. LOOT should tell you which plugin you should clean. You may also do a check errors.

/// Settings / memory :

• Ensure you're not using redundant memory patches, such as SSME, skse.ini; crash fixes with the UseOSAllocators=1 enabled, or safety load. Preferably, use crash fixes or skse memory patch.
• Memory blocks log will help to refine memory settings..
• You may install ENBOOST >> ENB graphics / ENB haxx.

/// Save game :

• Don't uninstall mods at mid-game, there are no clean save in Skyrim but using save script cleaner can help removing orphan scripts.
• New SkyrimTools, (corrupt saves topic).

/// Meshes healer :

• Read here, this is potentially a cause of CTD that you can resolve by following the mod procedure on this page.

/// Useful informations :

• Skyrim requirements wiki.
• Skse installation : skse on steam or Manual install. (SKSE, memory and skse.ini). SKSE logs are here : C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SKSE. SKSE troubleshooting guide.
• Skyrim performance monitor.
• STEP troubleshooting page.
• Ensure your skyrim installation is healthy = Make skyrim vanilla again.
• an efficient guide to build your game : STEP.
• Make sure you're using the latest USLEEP instead of the obsolete unofficial patches. If some of your old mods require them, you may use the USLEEP swap masters.
• Crashdump analysis.
• Papyrus log is a scripts log only and doesn't cover anything else, not a crash log. Interpreting Papyrus Log Errors, thanks to Arthmoor.
• Need a tool to manage GPU fan speed that works with ENB ? You may try Afterburner. (tested)

Hope this helps.
