TMushS Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I'm hoping I could get some help on this please. I have this odd bug where I get a save-crash at random playing times. The odd part is say I have 10 saves. 10 being the latest successful save. (that's just a random number I made, It could be 12 or 30 etc. point is.. I have so many successful saves and then save-ctd. Here's the messed up part. If I try loading an earlier save; say save number 3, If I try saving again it's a Save-CTD. every single time. Even after rebooting my system. Once a save-crash occurs my game will no longer save again with that character. The other odd thing is I've had the same exact load order for months without issues. I was able to play for hundreds upon hundreds of hours without a single crash for months now. Then this save-ctd started this past week. To fix this, I reinstalled Skyrim SE, reloaded all the same mods, etc. a few at a time, testing it for about an hour each time. Worked and then I get to the last group of mods, save-crash randomly between 5 min to about 45.. Now I'm thinking.. AH HA! the last batch was the issue right? Nope, I removed the last batch, and again after 5 min.. save-crash. Then I thought I'll swap a few mods and use group B instead of A. Well, nope.. now that group gets save-crashes. Mind you, I'm rebooting my machine between these as well as removing all save files, plus starting new games each time I test. My logical mind is about gone now. I've been at this thing for about a week now and can't seem to figure out the cause of this save-crash oddity. I've done several Hardware tests too and no issues. Every other one of my applications don't have a crash issue, it's just this game right now. Apologies for it being so long. I needed to make sure I wrote down whatever was on my brain. -Mush- edit- Wanted to add and reiterate a few points. 1.) This load order has not changed in several months. 2.) Not a single crash while playing in that time. 3.) This save-ctd just started this past weekend. 4.) There are at most 20 saves in my save folder. I delete most of them prior to starting the game up. 5.) For months was still on a previous version of Skyrim SE, Then this issue happened. During the reinstall, I updated to the latest version 1.5.62. Same issue is happening. Updating didn't fix it. 6.) I've wiped out my settings as well and it does this save-ctd regardless of having new ini files or not.
TMushS Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 Update: So far I've been playing with a full mod list again for the last few days without a crash and without turning off the game. Hoping I fixed the issue. What I did was: 1) deleted my skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini 2.) logged into steam and turned off sync to clouds. (I always play in offline mode so I didn't think anything of it by leaving sync on; I decided to turn that off this time and keep it off) 3.) Started the game via launcher to re-create the ini files. 4.) Quit the launcher. 5.) Loaded up my mod manager 6.) re-instated my custom.ini file 7.) started the game with a full load order and so far I've been using Auto-save feature on sleeping, traveling, and waiting. 8.) No issues so far. Let's hope this continues.! -Mush-
wfandrews Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Auto saves are notorious for corrupting saves. You would be wise to disable all auto saves. It is a good bet that eventually one of those saves will become corrupt.
