Freezing and CTD

[RxHipster]

DLC1 scripts can be solved if you use Unofficial Dawnguard Patchhttp://www.darkcreations.org/forums/files/file/352-unofficial-dawnguard-patch/

I don't know for Combat scripts, maybe Deady Combat? because Duel - Combat Realism doesn't have that scripts

Thanks for the help I have a feeling that the Combat scripts are from SkyRe

 

Still getting crashes I will try on a clean save

 

im not using SkyRe, and im finding its probably not a combat script because, at least for me, its not the same things that trigger it. basically its this:

 

1: often in exterior zones. NEVER in interior zones that i can recall.

2: from all types of enemies. bandits, dragons, trolls, bears, from SkyMoMod or vanilla.

3: a fight that causes a crash once might not after a load.

4: some zones do seem to have a "permanent" crash-cause, until it resets.

5: the freeze is utterly unprecedented. no loss of FPS, no stuttering, just BOOM frozen. crashes - which i never had before today, but have had several times just before big fights begin - are the same.

6: if it doesnt happen right at the first instant of the fight, it probably wont happen at all. basically, once the red dots appear, thats when its going to freeze.

 

interesting thing: i used a texture optimizer, and when i restored the baskup, the crashes because much less frequent, but the crashes began. still less often that previous.

 

EDIT: im not using Deadly Combat, but i am using Duel - Combat Realism

Same conditions for me also. Are you getting zbloodnpc script errors and/or sneaktool script errors?

i dont even know how to check

 

EDIT: found it. yeah, zbloodnpc errors were the LAST thing before the freeze! that must be it! so now what do we do about it? xD

There is a problem with the size of the Papyrus memory page that you are setting in your ini file, it's giving a negative value:

 

-1073741824 (max total)

 

Try setting it to a value 4x default instead.

 

Also it looks like you've uninstalled some mods but have left their scripts in your scripts folder.

 

Try deleting "xxxCombatModificationsStaminaDrainScri.pex", "TimedLightSwitch.pex" and "zbloodnpc.pex" from your DATA\SCRIPTS folder if they are present.

 

I'd suggest avoiding any mods that have their scripts as loose files rather than neatly packaged in a .bsa, otherwise it will undoubtedly cause you lots of headaches down the track.

 

EDIT: the following ini settings work very well on my rig:

 

[Papyrus]

fUpdateBudgetMS=800

fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=800

fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000

iMinMemoryPageSize=256

iMaxMemoryPageSize=512

iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2457600

how does one get that nice, formatted papyrus log? mine is a gigantic wall of text with no breaks, so its difficult to interpret.

Thanks for the input I will do so and see what happens

 

I ran a coc riverwood from menu and it seemed to not crash in the areas which previously crashed

zbloodnpc is from Enhanced Blood (and maybe from Crimson Tide too)

if you use SkyTEST Animals and Predators and WATER, this is the correct load order:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.esp

SkyTEST-Animals&Predators.esp

dD - Enhanced Blood Main.esp

dD-Dawnguard-EBT Patch.esp (if you have Dawnguard)

WATER.esp

xxxxxxxxxxxxx.esp

Open the log in WordPad instead of Notepad.

This caused the crashes in certain areas to stop except for when I come close to Whiterun. This crash is preceded by a massive drop in fps.

other than the (redacted).esp, the only one i run is WATER. can that be the problem?

 

BTW i get crashes around Whiterun WAY more often. not always preceded by an fps drop; usually not.
