CTD at load screen when loading from menu

[sssu1]

Hi,

 

So as the topic says, i have tried everything i can to fix this. This started after I had installed a few new mods after a long break in playing.

So when i load any save from the menu, mu game show the loading screen for ~1-2s and CTDs clean.

Starting a new game works, but i would not like to lose my 180+ hours save.

Nothing on the pinned thread worked.

So here is all the things that i have done, not in any order.

 

1. Disabling mods one by one and trying different combinations

2. Disabling all mods

3. Enabling all mods

4. Reinstalling

5. TES5Edit cleaning

6. Deleting .ini files

7. Correcting the load order

8. Loading older saves

9. Trying different graphics options

+ Some very small things that have worked on other people

Crashes at load are usually due to a missing Master or .esm file.

I would read through your mods requirements carefully. My guess is that one of them used the pre 1.8 update file (which will not work if you have 1.8 now, as you probably do), or required a DLC like Dawnguard or Hearthfire.

So, if i rollback to 1.7 (If that is possible) or get all of my mods to have compatability with 1.8 it should work?

[Georgiegril]

Yes, if you update or remove mods that are currently incompatible with1.8 that should help, as long as they are properly and completely updated or removed exactly as the mod author instructs.

But it could also be a mod that is incompatible or lacks another .esm (for example, a mod that needs Dawnguard, or you have inadvertantly added a mod that requires DG when you don't have it)

I would check all of my mods requirements and make sure I have the right mods/versions.

 

Not sure about the rollback...I know some people have had some success with this...unless you saved your 1.7 version someplace steam couldn't touch it before the update, I think it may not be possible to roll back.

I have the 1.7 exe file, i was able to backup that.

I am going to check several mod combinations and see if it will work.

 

Also all of my mods that are enabled are compatible with 1.8

[Georgiegril]

Are you still crashing?

Have you looked for mods that need a different .esm?

Also, I assumed you used BOSS for load order? If not, I'd run that, read the log file it produces very carefully and address any messages it gives. You could also post the BOSS text log here, it might help people help you.

[sssu1]

I am not currently at my home computer.

Yes i have run BOSS, cleaned the files it suggested with TES5Edit and arranged the rest of the files by hand according to mod author suggestions.

[sssu1]

So, if i run Skyrim from 1.7 .exe, it crashes at startup.

All of my active mods should be compatible with 1.8 and those i think are not, i have properly uninstalled.

 

Problem still persists.

 

Also here is my BOSS log:

(Some mods are not active, those are the ones that i suspect to cause crashing)

You are confusing me. If you have updated mods for 1.8, then rolling back to the 1.7 patch would not work.

You need mods and the patch all at the same patch. If you update to 1.8, you need to check all of the mods that require update.esm and make sure they have been updated since the 1.8 patch came out to be compatible.

Also have you checked and properly placed your unrecognized mods? And uninstalled either Db enhanced blood or Crimson tide?

 

Other than that, it is possible that one of your mods is posing a compatibility problem that has not been noticed by BOSS. You may have to go through old fashioned mod troubleshooting. Bben's troubleshooting guide can walk you through it.

Oh sorry, so i ran 1.7 without any mods enabled.

And as you can see, both Enhanced blood and Crimson tide are not active.

 

I will still try to juggle around with the mods and see if something works.
