Mrod23 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hi Skyrim Fans, So I'm at my wits' end here. I've developed 20 different characters all taken up through level 40 or higher. I'm on a PC so I run approx. 25 mods. I typically go days or even weeks without a CTD. I use BOSS religeously and have checked out WryeBash. Yesterday I started a new character and all of a sudden I can't even get to the Helgen keep before consistent CTD's. I checked the Papyrus log and the last entry has to do with the dragon animations and flyby effects. Don't know what that means. I did a clean reinstall with no mods and started a fresh game and that did not fix the problem! Arggh. When I say no mods I mean only the official DLCs from Bethesda, that is Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and the two HiRes Texture Packs. Yes, I added the stuff back into my Skyrim.ini file for the HiRes packs. I'm in the process of doing another reinstall, cleaning out more stuff this time to see if there were some artifacts left that I missed. I write this to see if any of you have run across the same problem and have found the culprit(s). Please help if you can. Cheers,Mrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rethrain Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Are you on Windows 8? I ask...cause I had this same exact problem like you not 1-2 days ago. Hell, I would link the thread if I knew how. ><; What worked for me was disabling all mods and only having those DLC that you are mentioning while doing a clean reinstall, then did the character tutorial vanilla, and THEN, I installed the mods, after the whole tutorial. Sadly I got to another problem, and I got other ctds....again. In the Daedric Quest of Vaermina. All of this, without ever having a problem before.

I've done more sleuthing - it looks like the CTD was caused by a corrupted Unofficial Dawnguard Patch. I looked back through the Papyrus log and saw a lot of references to Serana not leveling with certain perks. I threw away my Skyrim directory structure and downloaded again (!) and started a new game. I downloaded a fresh UDGP and applied that in order :-) Now I have loaded most of my mods back in with no problems. Fingers crossed. No plans to go to Win 8 anytime soon :-) Thanks for the tip. Makes me want to be careful of any Windows Update patches I get from Microsoft. Goody another place to need caution. Mrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only times I've had a clean install but still had consistent CTD's was when I had these installed. Not sure if it crashed right out of the gate, but still, I would recommend uninstalling them and seeing if that helps.

A problem which I also had. As an aside, I didn't choose Win 8. I'm just using this PC with Win 8 until my older (Sturdier-software-wise, in my opinion) arrives from some maintenance. At any rate, It feels weird, maybe it's just me, but I thought I had less problems with Win 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
