Random crashes in every save

[simon1806]

Hi everyone! I think I need help on this one.

I'm playing on a heavily modded SSE, and everything was going fine until this evening. I first got a random crash to desktop while fast traveling to Whiterun. I then succeeded to get to Whiterun reloading the save, but I got a CTD, once again without any error showing up, after a minute or so in the city. I tried reloading and it seems I'm now getting CTDs everytime I fast travel. I tried reloading some earlier saves, but I will now get CTDs on fast traveling in each one of them. What could be causing this? I didn't change anything in my mods. The only thing that changed is that I completed Alduin's Bane.

I'm grateful for any kind of help!

EDIT

I restarted my computer and, for now, it seems not to crash. Is it possible to just fix it like this? Also, Steam was downloading another game while I was playing before. Is it possible that some "steam interference" was the culprit?

I think everyone is assuming you have worked this out yourself. Do not download a new game while playing another, particularly if it uses some of the same facilities.

[anjenthedog]

Everything takes memory. Even running Vortex while playing can eat up much needed resources. (or having multiple Chrome windows open, etc.)

 

I have a quasi higher end system 9700 proc, 64 G of primary memory, a 6G NVidia card, and I run from a snappy 500G SSD. And yet the game still CTDs due to insufficient resources (graphic memory peaks eventually, usually in exterior areas... when it's not crashing due to script overload.) PS> That's not to say it crashes a lot, but it does crash with some regularity and an almost predictable regularity at that.

[JimmyRJump]

When fast-travelling the game loads all the textures of the spot you're gonna end-up and that takes a lot of memory. When at the same time you're downloading a game with Steam open, you're asking for trouble. Not just for RAM use but stuff going on in the background that wants priority over the game. I'm gonna get me a set of 2x16GB of new RAM later today to replace the 2x8GB I have now as I'm running out of memory on occasion with a seriously modded Skyrim SE. And I hope the new AMD "Big Navi" will come sooner than later and that it has more V-RAM than my Vega64.

[Anselmp]

I have found that if I come out of Skyrim, do something else, then go back, the program often crashes, and sometimes it happens if I change to another character, but this is always cleared by restarting the PC. This did not happen before I started using SKSE. Unfortunately that coincided with adding a few big mods that required it, so maybe the memory just needs clearing.

[7531Leonidas]

Do you have anything active that clears the leftover SKSE co-saves? SSE Engine Fixes (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/17230) has it built in, so if you do a lot of saving/quicksaving during the game like I do, then that co-save build up might be contributing to the problem. I also saw a standalone co-save cleaner in the new files on the Nexus recently (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/32580).
