Semi persistent crash in IC Market District

[Darklordroy]

Hello,

 

For the last few days I have been encountering crashes in the Market district on an almost persistent basis. While crashes are nothing new to my mod installation, they don't appear so frequently that it renders my game unplayable. In better playing sessions, I can play for 30 minutes to over an hour until the game decides to stop.

 

However, the amount of crashes I encounter in the IC Market District is much higher compared to other locations, to the point of being persistent. Almost every time I walk around said location, I encounter a crash. Sometimes instantly, other times, I can walk around for a few minutes, with the game crashing afterwards.

I also tried the "wait for 3 days in Testinghall" trick, but to no avail.

 

Seeing as the amount of stuttering also seems a bit higher compared to other locations, my guess is that something in the background of the game, such as scripts, is causing my game to overload.

Does anyone have an idea if there is a mod in my load order that's likely to cause crashes in the aforementioned area?

[Striker879]

My money would be on Better Cities.

[Darklordroy]

I guess it would be Better Cities in combination with (an)other mod(s), seeing as I haven't had these issues until recently, while BC part of this playthrough from the start.

[Striker879]

Then if you know what order you've installed the more recent you should be able to work your way back through time until the problem disappears. You may need to go through some "clean save cycles" or "coc wait" to give the offender a chance to get flushed down the drain.

 

- Edit - I think that "coc center" is better than the Testinhall ... completely outside of the game world.

Strangely enough, it seems to have stopped when I turned on GameBooster (which shuts down unneeded processes), so I guess the crashes were performance related. I could even do an extended battle sequence(read "slaughterfest") in the Market District, which went on for about 20 minutes before the game decided to go on strike.

However, since I still encounter stutters in IC and other areas, I guess I am reaching the threshold of what my current installation can handle in terms of scripts and the like.

 

I at least thank you for the time and tips. I will remember the coc Center one for whenever I need to do a 3 day wait period.
