CTD possible fix?

[scot]

Don´t know for sure if it fixed my skyrim but wanted to know if anyone has this dll file called TESV.exe.4GB, I had a 32 system with 4 GB RAM and until patch 1.3.10 I could play skyrim without crashes, after patch 1.3.10 skyrim started to crash with or without mods, I tried every fix there is on the internet and still crashes, so I noticed that after the patch 1.3.10 this TESV.exe.4GB DLL appeared and since I couldn´t open it I just deleted it (stupidity) this week I upgraded my RAM to 8 GB and a windows 7 64 and tried skyrim,thought my crasheswere due to only 4 GB ram but sadly still crashed on my upgraded system tried every fix again and nothing, I allways keep a safe backup of every update so I went to my 1.3.10 backup and noticed that the TESV.exe.4GB was there, I put it back in and my game seems to be working again.Now the strange part is that when I reinstalled skyrim and steam updated the game the TESV.exe.4GB didn´t appeared like the first time so I am confused because I´m sure that file came from steam but now it doesn´t....it´s confusing :s Does anyone have this file in skyrim´s folder?If yes does the game crash for you?I was actually wonder i this could be the meaning of ctd for other people, since patch 1.3.10 addresses 4 GB RAM people would delete old 4gb patches and by mistake deleted the TESV.exe.4GB.Though the TESV.exe.4GB is a mistery for me because it appeared after the patch 1.3.10 and if I reinstall skyrim it doesn´t appear again, I have no doubts that that file came from steam.

The good notice is you don't need 4gb anymore with 1.3.10 and up :)

 

The beta patch is proving the performance increased too making the two main performance enhancer mods obsoletes in their actual form (they still may return with more specific details, who knows).

Yes I know that :) but my game crashed on my older system and on my new system with or without mods, the TESV.exe.4GB dll came after the first time I updated my game to 1.3.10 and I deleted it, my CTD started after 1.3.10 update and must be related to that, not mods nor hardware.What I want to know is if somebody else has this file and if so does the game crashes or not.My game seems to be working fine again after I put that misterious file back in skyrim´s folder, though I shouldn´t need to since now I have 8 GB and the new updates addresses 4 GB like you said.

Anyway it's not likely the game will be using more than 4gb even in 64bits. For me the 1.3 was the most stable patch, I can't remember one only CTD while using it (what felt strange and somewhat frightening waiting for a CTD which never comes...) but some people has reported it happening on their system.

 

Now I'm on the last beta patch and experimenting random CTDs I could not yet identify if is from the patch itself of caused by mods, even because lacking the time to play enough time with and without the mods I deem most probably cause. The random nature of the CTD does not help finding the causes.

 

Assuming your game is patched to 1.3 (what is the case if you did not specifically adhere to the beta testing) the advice is removing all traces of 4gb from it's folder, install TESVAL + SKSE or Skyboost + Script Dragon.

 

if it is beta patched, the CTDs are being reported by many yet without clear solution.

 

BUT in the end, you may want to rename the two ini files under /Documents/My games/Skyrim and let the game rebuild them for is known some previous tweaks make the game unstable with 1.3. If this solves the problem, try returning the tweaks at steps, not many at once, test for a while and repeat. You may prefer not touching the recreated ini files until the new stable patch is out, what might happen yet in this month end.

False alarm it still crashes >:-( this was a waste of money, I tried every fix both with 32 sytem and 64 system, it crashes with or without mods, with or without saves, with or without modified ini files, I tried both beta patces still crashes, my computer is stable and can run any game now more than before since I have more RAM.When I say I tried every fix I mean every x) My last hope is that this new patch fixes my game .
