Crash on loading screen

[woutervh]

Every new save file I try to load now crashes the game.

I tried the 4GB fix but it didn't work. My save files started being 10MB+ which may be why it crashes the loading screen.

I have no lag whatsoever while playing, I can load old save files just fine.

 

The following exception is thrown (caught while running OllyDbg):

Log data, item 0
 Address = 004511F6
 Message = Access violation when reading [00000000] - Shift+Run/Step to pass exception to the program

 

Passing the exception to the program obviously causes the game to exit to desktop.

 

I've tried searching, but all that I found was the 4GB fix which didn't work for me.

I've made a (temporary) fix for this. It is ugly and I don't know what side effects it has yet, but I'm now able to load my game again and play, so far I haven't noticed anything bad. Should you decide to use this, first BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILES AND TESV.EXE FILE.

 

Here's how to fix it:

1) download a hex editing tool (such as XVI32)

2) open up your TESV.exe file in the hex editor

3) search for the hex string "8B 49 40 E8 9A 55 05 00 8B 10" (there should only be 1 search result)

4) replace the found string by "8B 49 40 E8 9A 55 05 00 31 D2" (only the last two bytes are changed)

5) save TESV.exe in the hex editor

6) run the game
