Skyrim Failed to Allocate Memory!

[Jooblie]

So I recently switched over to Oldrim after having played a heavily modded SSE and wanted to experience the game with the SKSE required mods. I started following a guide http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/76373/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D76373%26preview%3D&pUp=1

and listened to everything he said, read all the descriptions, etc. Was launching the game every few mods to make sure it still worked, but ran into a bit of an issue. After I installed all the rustic item mods, whever I try to enter a building in Whiterun, when loading into the building, skyrim fails to allocate memory and gets stuck in an infinite loading loop, but doesnt CTD. Ive tried messing with the crashfix.ini changing the UseOSAllocators=1, CustomMemoryBlock=1 and CustomMemoryBlockTotalSizeMb=100, so my memory usage is in the mid 30s-40s when I press the tild key. Ive tried everything suggested on the crashfix log, even downloaded the 5.0 enboost file for my card equivalent and followed that direction but still no luck. I would finish the list and the download the ENB and see if anything fixes, but before downloading anymore mods I wanted to fix this issue.

Well, my first guess would be to see about disabling the ETaC mods and any town overhauls. I know that ETaC modifies some interiors with new textures and layouts, and since the issue seems to be occurring when you enter an interior, I'd perhaps suggest starting there?

I tried jumping right to the ENB and installing that, and it fixed the issue, so weird....... I wonder how that could possibly fix the memory allocation...... Anyways, works for now. Ill keep going down the list and check occasionally to see if it works. Any more problems I run into, Ill be sure to be back here! Thanks anyways those man, Im sure ill be back regardless D:

 

I installed Techromatic Vivid Weathers version, uninstalled ELFX like it said, and all works. Now to just install ENBoost again to prevent further issues.

 

Im no expert but seeing I downloaded ENB versions of texture mods without actually having the ENB yet, maybe it caused too much memory to be used? Im not an expert, just my guess though seeing actually downloading the ENB fixed it.

Well, keep in mind that ENB does come with a memory patch of its own built in, so that could actually have been what the issue was. Typically when an ENB texture is downloaded but an ENB isn't in use, the textures won't really cause an issue like a infinite load boot or CTD, just that the textures might not look as good. It's possible that the ENBoost that came with the ENB itself helped, but I can't say for sure. 32-bit Skyrim is actually super fragile, so just about anything can potentially break it if handled improperly. It's just something that us Oldrimers have to deal with for now, at least until SKSEx64 gets released :/

 

Glad to hear everything worked out though!
