Need Help Fixing Random CTD

[ChockDoctor]

So I got back into modding Skyrim and have made sure all my files are clean with SSEEDIT and use Mod Organizer 2 to do my sorting and see if there are any errors. I can run the game just fine starting from a new save for about 1-2 hours and then everything just kinda goes downhill. After I get my first CTD after a couple hours of playing, the game will just continually CTD every few minutes if I try to continue. I've pretty much tried every method for troubleshooting that I can think of (binary troubleshooting, disabling windows touch keyboard service and adjusted load orders) I also have Papyrus logs enabled to look for what is causing my crashes and that isn't very helpful at all because I am getting pretty much 0 errors. Here is a full list of my mod order

Hmm. That sounds like a memory leak. Your rig is just fine, assuming you don't have a failing HD. Do you have any other issues with other software that is similar? Are you having thermal issues with your cpu?

 

Have you tried the basics like verifying your game files through Steam?

 

Here's an advanced guide for troubleshooting your game. Don't try to take it in all at once. Just read it a bit at a time and apply what seems appropriate to your issue(s). If any of this guide helps you, give Darstyler a kudo. It's his guide.

Here is a list of things you may do to stabilize your game :

/// Useful informations :

• Dangerous mods list.

• CTDs troubleshooting page on Reddit very usefull informations concerning CTDs...

• Verify gamecache.

/// Load order / mods conflicts :

• Use L.O.O.T once and click on the "sort plugins buttons".

• Create a wryebash patch including leveled lists.

• Create a merged patch with Tesedit excluding leveled lists

/// Settings / memory :

• Have you installed the skse patch ? >> memory blocks log.

• Backup your ini files and delete the files. Skyrim.ini / SkyrimCustom.ini / SkyrimPrefs.ini found in C:\Users\Utilisateur\Documents\My Games\Skyrim then use your vanilla launcher to autodetect and use best settings for your computer.

/// Cleaning and correcting potential bugs :

• Clean your master files to eliminate potential problems.: Gopher's videos cleaning your masterfiles on the Nexus Tesedit page.
  Start Tes5edit, simply untick everything, (right-click/select none) and add only a tick to the esm/esp you want to check + update.esm, Tesedit knows what to do and will load all the dependencies automatically.
  - Begin with loading only Skyrim + update, ITM / UDR + save ctrl +s and close.
  - Then load Skyrim + update + Dawnguard, ITM / UDR + ctrl +s and close.
  - Then load Skyrim + update + Hearthfire, ITM / UDR + ctrl +s and close.
  - Then load Skyrim + update + Dragonborn, ITM / UDR + ctrl +s and close.

• The method above can be used to clean mods. If I'm correct LOOT should tell you which plugin you should clean. You may load all your mods with Tes5edit and use the (right-click in the left pane) apply filter to show conflict losers. Wait till Tes5edit has finished. Caution : don't try to modify anything while using this filter, it's not intended for.

• In the left pane, Expand the subsections and examine conflicts. Once an entry is expanded to the bottom and selected, the right pane shows which mods modify the entry. The last one on the right is the last loaded in your load order and the conflict winner.

• Expand the following subsections, depending on where the problems occur. Cells for CTDs inside buildings, grottos, etc... and worldspace for exterior. The goal is to target mods that edit the same places and conflict. Open the bloc note and write those mods.

• Once done, close Tes5edit and open each mod with Tesedit, one by one and use the UDR cleaning procedure (Gopher's videos cleaning your masterfiles on the Nexus Tesedit page) to ensure all the deleted references will be transformed in disabled references = no CTDs from this point.

• If you suspect a mod in particular, using the conflict looser / winner method above, you can decide to change its load order or uninstall it.

/// Save game :

• Don't uninstall mods at mid-game, there are no clean save in Skyrim but using save script cleaner can help removing orphan scripts.

/// Meshes healer :

• Read here, this is potentially a cause of CTD that you can resolve by following the mod procedure on this page.

Just thought of something else. Does your game give warning of the impending ctd? For example, do textures start disappearing? If so, quickly hit F5 (quicksave) and then F9 (quickload.) Back when I had severe VRAM issues with Oldrim, this trick often "reset" my game (for lack of a better description) and I could play again for another couple of hours. I know that's not a fix, but it might save you some aggravation if it works for you.

 

Edited for spelling.

I don't have anything wrong with my system hardware such as thermals or bad hdd and I don't have problems running any other games. I haven't made a batch patch or a merged patch yet though so I'll go ahead and do that. I don't really know what the importance of the memory block is for me since I don't have any kind of memory problem for my PC considering I have 64gb of ram and 8gb of Vram. I have also already cleaned all my .esm files with SSEDIT and actually gone a bit further and removed and properties inside of all the mods I have that are missing necessary data to function, which is why I never get errors of any kind through Papyrus logs.

 

I don't get any kind of texture pop in or anything before a crash the game just kind of dies suddenly. I remember with Oldrim I could definitely tell when something was about to cause the game to crash as well because it would give distinct signs depending on what was going to make the game crash, but with this its just completely random so I can't pin the root cause down.
