Random ctds on autosaves and attempted saves

[sauronsbane]

So I have an odd issue. Game has been running fine I reach Falkreth and start a couple quests goes fine but suddenly I ctd to desktop. I reload fine and attempt a save to test ctd. I try entering a random cave ctd. I load older saves that were before problem started ctd. All ctds seem to occur on autosaves, saves, waits, sleep, and time the game needs to load/save assets. Here is my load order. I have fnis, loot, edit, etc. they gave me no dire error messages. I rarely post to here as I have been modding skyrim since I got it thus far I have figured out problems by myself but this one is apparently a new one. I'll appreciate any help I am given.

 

New info as of now found older save that works both save and auto. However I have strange issues in the area. I'm in whiterun the corpse of the dragon you kill outside of whiterun has teleported into the city. It seems to twitch and move around the town. In other news started a new game the cart you start in precedes to flip all over the road in a terrifying manor. When you get to Helgan the cart has screwed up enough that Ulfric, Lokir, and yourself are trapped behind a fence. HALP MEh 0_0 !

 

Thanks redeemer for the help I still had the ctds but hopefully the new layers of protection prevent the issue in the future. Wonder if the dragon corpse is the source. >.<

Hello,

• <All ctds seem to occur on autosaves, saves, waits, sleep, and time the game needs to load/save assets> Deactivate the autosaves and use manual saves, choosing to do one regularly in a not too heavy interiror cell, like with the less mod interaction as possible. An empty house is good.
• CTD in a particular cell / location.
• Random CTD troubleshoot.
• CTD doing a particular action.
• Make sure you're using the good mods >> Dangerous mods list.
• Verify gamecache.
• CTDs troubleshooting page on Reddit, depending on what's happening in game, choose the subsections that describes the best your problem.
• Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires.

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

/// Cleaning and correcting potential bugs :

• 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.
• Clean your master files to eliminate potential problems : Tes5edit cleaning tutorial / Tes5edit documentation / Tes5edit Nexus page.
• The method above can be used to clean mods. LOOT may tell you which plugin you should clean.
• Mator's video fixing errors with Tes5edit. Merge plugins.

/// Load order / mods conflicts :

• Use L.O.O.T / Nexus page (& documentation).
• 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.

/// Settings / memory :

• Preferably, use crash fixes with the UseOSAllocators=1 instead of skse memory patch or SSME.
• You may also install safety load if you experience infinite loading screens or freezing in game.
• Memory blocks log will help to refine memory settings.
• Skyrim performance monitor.
• 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.
• STEP INI tweaking wiki.
• 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 :

• Selective loading : untick 50% of your mods, beginning by the end of your load order and test in game. Then depending on if the problem occurs again or not, increase / decrease the remaining loading mods to find the culprit.
• If you're using win8-10 + a GPU with more than 4GB VRAM and experiencing stuttering, random freezes or / and FPS drops, this may occur when the VRAM usage exceeds 4GB, read here for more details.
• In NMM settings, see where your tracelog path is (C:\Users\User\Documents\Nexus Mod Manager), open a request in the NMM open beta forum and post your tracelog.txt.
• Make sure your framerate isn't going above 60 - use a fps limiter or the ENB limiter included feature or using your graphic card utility if you experience problems with the ENB limiter.
• Skyrim requirements wiki | STEP troubleshooting page | Crashdump analysis | Direct-x 9 C, 9 C update |
• 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.
• An efficient guide to build your game : STEP / Official S.T.E.P. Mod Organizer video series.
• Ensure your skyrim installation is healthy = Make skyrim vanilla again.
• Papyrus log is a scripts log only and doesn't cover anything else, not a crash log. Interpreting Papyrus Log Errors / Enabling papyrus logging
• Need to know informations about your harware, temperature, etc... ? Speccy may help you.
• Shut down background programs such as intellipoint, fan manager, etc... Need a tool to manage GPU fan speed that works with ENB ? You may try Afterburner, (tested)
