TMushS Posted January 18, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMushS Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share 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- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfandrews Posted January 21, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
