Stability Help Needed - Freezing, CTDs

[Jinzor]

Hi there, I've played for about 80 hours of this playthrough I'm having over the past week and a half. I could continue, but I'm at my wits end with all of these random freezes and crashes - I've been very patient, but it's just not fun to play anymore when you're expecting a freeze or a crash right around the corner and have to save literally every minute in fear of losing your progress (autosaves completely turned off).

 

I would be very grateful if anyone could offer me some advice on which mods I should move or remove completely from my load order for a better experience, or any other advice in general.

 

Here's my current load order:

First don't remove mods in middle of play through! Don't even move the load order even that can make you loose your save permanently.

 

Are you already using Crash Fixes and ENBoost?

Yes I know, I just want to start a new game at this point because the current one is getting frustrating. I don't mind restarting if it means that I'll have a more stable playthrough to get through the whole game next time.

 

I think I am using ENBoost, but I don't think I'm using Crash Fixes.

 

I forgot to mention; I think some of my mods are causing my game to be slow - some sound effects occasionally play 5 seconds later than they were meant to be played (e.g. landing after a jump, running, etc). I'm guessing it's due to mods like Frostfall and Footprints?

ok then let's start:

 

Create a file called skse.ini in Skyrim\Data\SKSE\ if you don't have it already, then write inside (remove other lines that might be inside the file):

[General]

ClearInvalidRegistrations=1

EnableDiagnostics=1 ;<----you can leave this to 0 turn to 1 if debugging

[Display]

iTintTextureResolution=2048

[Debug]

WriteMinidumps=1 ;<----you can leave this to 0 turn to 1 if debugging

After that download and install Crash Fixes: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72725/?

Download and install Bug Fixes as well: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/76747/?

After having installed it navigate to Skyrim\Data\SKSE\Pugins\CrashFixPlugin.ini

Modify in CrashFixPlugin.ini UseOSAllocators=1 follow the instructions above this line to make it work. You will need to download and install SKSE Plugin Preloader Link: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/75795/?

Make sure the ENBoost is set up correctly:

In enblocal.ini edit:

[GLOBAL]

UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=false ;<-----set this to true leave to false if you have an ENB.

UseDefferedRendering=true

IgnoreCreationKit=true

ForceFakeVideocard=false

[MEMORY]

ExpandSystemMemoryX64=false ;<-----make sure this is set to false is obsolete and will interfere with Crash Fixes or SKSE memory patch (causes crashes especially in Win10)

ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true

DisableDriverMemoryManager=false ;<---------set to true for old AMD GPUs.

DisablePreloadToVRAM=false

EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false ;<------make sure this is set to false only works when ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true as previously sad this only causes problems

ReservedMemorySizeMb=64 ;<-----increase if you experience some stutter (if using an ENB you know what goes here).

VideoMemorySizeMb=4064 ;<-----Users should download and run Boris's VRamSizeTest tool. Run the VRamSizeDX9.exe. Windows 7 users subtract 170 from the value provided and use that value. Windows 8/8.1/10 users use the value provided. If AutodetectVideoMemorySize=true this value is ignored and auto-calculated.

AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false ;<-----set this to true if you want auto VRAM size calculation

If you feel like skse or Crash Fixes are not working correctly create a shortcut with this argument and launch the game from it (if you are on ModOrganizer add to the SKSE executable the -forcesteamloader argument) i suggest you do this even if there are no problems:

Okay thanks, I'll do this and then report back.

[Project579]

can you post your Skyrim.ini and Skyrimprefs.ini as well.
