[apokalypse360]

Hello there nexus-friends =)

 

i´ve got a problem. maybe someone can help me, would be great ;)

 

Skyrim kicks me back to the desktop after loading, BUT only if i change the TEXTURE setting to HIGH Oo

it doesn´t matter whats setting is used for the other, it´s really just the texture setting.... -.- (doesn´t look great on mid setting...)

 

game is modded (had this problem before modding), and got the german language pack installed.

 

using: (not older than 3 months)

 

DELL XPS 17 L702X

i7 @ 2,4 - 3,1

8 GB Ram

Nvidia GeForce GT 555 3 GB

 

i think this is all, please help me :(

Hey my friend,

have you got the latest drivers and are you using the nmm? If its still crashing look for uncompatible mods.

If you need another good texture back get the 2k ones it is also a really good one.

 

I hope i could help.

[apokalypse360]

thx for the fast request mate ;)

 

yes im using the nmm ^^ and u were right, deactivating all plug ins allows me to put the texture setting to high, (StaticMeshImprove, RealisticWaterTexture, BetterDynamic Snow, dD- Enhanced Blood, WeaponsOf3Era)

any idea what of these plug ins make the game crash? ^^

 

im already using the Skyrim HD - 2K Textures by Nebula ^^ (Dungeons, Landscape, Misc, Towns).

Download BOSS from the Nexus and see what it says about the mods you have installed. :)

the game seems to work on high settings without problems if i deactivate the WATER.esp and the DragonBoneWeaponPack1(and 2).esp Oo

i used the RealisticWaterAndTexture mod instead the WATER.esp before, but BOSS said the mod was too old and i should use the WATER mod ^^

is WATER.esp the problem?

 

thx for any ideas =)

 

Edit: i was wrong, doesn´t matter if i deactivate WATER.esp or not, after let´s say 1,5 minutes the game kicks me back to desktop -.-

 

i will keep on trying to solve somehow the problem, but im not a modder =/ so i would appreciate any help ;)

Check Skyrim.ini in your personal folder (Documents and Settings for XP, Users for Win 7/Vista) and see how many uGrids are set to load. 9 and above are unstable depending on your hardware, while 7 can be demanding with low powered PCs.

 

Also you are running StaticMeshImprovementMod.esp. That is the main culprit as far I am concerned. I have had nothing but trouble with that mod. It doesn't matter if you disable it now, the problem will remain. I was lucky that I created a back up in Steam and could revert. I tried installing all mods individually (did a complete ununstall of the game, deleted all mod folders etc then restored the game) and the crashes appeared when the StaticMesh mod was installed.

 

I think it conflicts with either WATER or Better Dynamic Snow, if it isn't itself just bugged. Because the only two mods I have in common with you is WATER and Dynamic Snow, and I had crashes after installing StaticMeshImprovementMod.

 

If I am right, then you are looking at a clean install of Skyrim, clean install of every mod and a new save game because the old saves where changed by the mods.

thx for request again ;)

 

i made a back up too and used it now to get the standard game back.

After i activated 5 mods the game crashes. the mods were 4GB universal memory patch and the four skyrim HD - 2k Textures - V1_5 FULL for Dungeons, Landscape, Town, Misc.

i edited the .ini file to this one:

[GENERAL]

uExterior Cell Buffer=64

uGridsToLoad=7

 

after 1-2 minues of new gameplay, i return to desktop =/ is it the new textures? ....

[ProjectVRD]

Are you using an old save with the new (backed up) install? Or is a fresh game?

[Raffaelasdf]

Changes in the .ini "burns" into the Savegame.

 

When you have a Savegame where the .ini says uGridsToLoad=9 and you change it into 7 - then your savegame will be "corrupt".

 

Do you know what uGridsToLoad setting your savegame have?
