ymf331 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) problems: I was having framerate issues, so uninstalled all my mods and started from scratch using the SR:LE guide. I got optimized vanilla textures, set up crash fixes, meticulously redid all my ini files. I left a lot of the mods out, especially high-res overhauls and the like. I picked 1k compressed textures where I could. I installed all of it, followed all of the instructions, cleaned all the itm records loot told me to, started a new game and ran around outside whiterun at 60-80 fps with vsync enabled. i was so excited i hopped right back to it. soooo i grabbed a few other mods i really wanted. i carefully read the descriptions for compatibility information, patches wherever i needed, etc, and went through all the steps. ordered with loot, ordered with tesvedit, ran skyproc patchers, made a bashed patch, ran fnis and bodyslide. game still ran around 60 fps no matter where i went, even where there were a lot of npcs fighting. so i made my character, set mods up, all that, saved. i go to load the game, and crash instantly on the loading screen... i've been trying every possible fix i could google up or think of for 3 days. got latest nvidia drivers, changed permissions on folders, set exceptions in my antivirus, tried installing the old directx9, running everything as administrator with tesv.exe in win7 compatibility mode, defragging my hard drive. i checked my saves with tesvesse, each were about 40k strings, 25k under the 65k limit without crash fixes and around 7mib. i got crash fixes, bug fixes, memory patch, safety load, enboost... everything. i tried disabling heavily scripted mods a few at a time and trying on new saves. sometimes something i did would allow me to load two or three saves then BAM same old problem. update: i tried disabling a bunch mods thinking maybe that would fix it. 3dnpc, wet and cold, holidays, campfire+frostfall, obis, ineed, and moonlight tales. i was able to load twice, then i went to look at the map and crashed with pretty much an identical dump. it looks like something to do with d3d9.dll. the reference attached to the exception is just a snow pile in one of the small dungeons. i've tried all the fixes recommended online for directx problems. i hope someone can give me some good advice on what to do to fix this. i'll give as much info as possible here: system specs: os: windows 10 pro 64-bitcpu: amd fx 6-core 3.5ghzram: 8mib ddr3gpu: gtx 550 ti 1gib (yeah i know that's why i use compressed textures) skyrim.ini: [Archive]bInvalidateOlderFiles=0SInvalidationFile=ArchiveInvalidation.txtsResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsasResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa [Audio]fMenuModeFadeInTime=1.0fMenuModeFadeOutTime=3.0fMusicDuckingSeconds=6.0fMusicUnDuckingSeconds=8.0 [Combat]f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7f1PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.7f3PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.7fMagnetismStrafeHeadingMult=0.0fMagnetismLookingMult=0.0 [Controls]bBackgroundMouse=1 [Display]bAllowScreenshot=0fLightLODMaxStartFade=3500.0fShadowLODMaxStartFade=1000.0iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=2048fSpecularLODMaxStartFade=2000.0fSunShadowUpdateTime=0.25fSunUpdateThreshold=1.5 [General]fFlickeringLightDistance=8192iNumHWThreads=sIntoSequence=sLanguage=ENGLISHuExterior Cell Buffer=36 [GeneralWarnings]SGeneralMasterMismatchWarning=One or more plugins could not find the correct versions of the master files they depend on.

ymf331 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) oh i think i figured out what the problem was... the crash dumps contained some stuff about pixel shaders on an object in labyrinthian, so maybe something was being overwritten from usleep, which fixes the lod and possibly other stuff. it's kind-of a shot in the dark at this point and i can't check it out since i uninstalled EVERYTHING and reinstalled in c:/steam and am starting from scratch. this time i'll just install the basic crap like textures, enb, bug fixes, alternate start for testing purposes and stress test the bejeezus out of my game to make sure it's working. so wish me luck 'cause i'm not wasting 2 days reinstalling again after this one.
