[HeyYou]

Try running the game without warzones, and see what happens.

You're definitely not alone in this. I have the exact same problem. I can travel anywheres and have never had this issue until recently. I can travel there the first time, no issue. then boom done going there without crashing. Very frustrating. I've been researching everything thing on this and i can duplicate the crash at will. I can't find a cause or resolution for it.

 

EDIT: Same area also, windhelm stables during fast travel. I can walk to it, sometimes. not fast travel.

COMPATIBILITY AND SYSTEM SETTINGS

 

I am telling you now that if you don't have a computer that can handle additional NPCs and locations that this will probably not work for you.

 

I'm also telling you now that nobody's computer can handle playing SKYRIM with 2000 NPCs (UNLESS YOUR NAME IS THE OP OF THE POST) on screen at the same time, so you will not see LORD OF THE RINGS set-pieces...

 

PLEASE err on the side of caution and begin using this mod with a save that has never "seen" WARZONES before.

 

If you are UPDATING, please DO NOT DO A CLEAN SAVE. You may orphan scripts that way. Save a game in an INTERIOR, update WARZONES, then WAIT INSIDE for 15 DAYS.

 

And, of course, be sure to keep a SAVE GAME from before you activate the mod. I don't anticipate issues, but your computer isn't mine and I have no control over it. Better safe than sorry.

 

RECOMMENDED MODS FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

POSSESSIVE CORPSES NO MORE LAZY CORPSES and SHY NIRNROOTS by amgepo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TWEAKING YOUR COMPUTER

 

There are, apparently, many things you can do to get better performance from SKYRIM than the default settings provide. However, it requires some fiddling around. Just because the below tweaks worked for me doesn't necessarily mean they'll work for you, so I make no guarantees (and tweak at your own risk), however:

 

Be sure you are using the most recent OFFICIAL UPDATE. Major performance improvements were added.

 

Having an NVIDIA card, I also tweaked settings using NVIDIA INSPECTOR and use the latest video driver. (BIG HINTING AT OVERCLOCKING YOUR CARD)

 

Within SKYRIMS'S GAME SETTINGS, I recommend REDUCING your DRAW DISTANCE (He recammended setting your graphics to LOW HERE!!!!(), notably for NPCS. Past about 8 'ticks' you don't see NPCs as more than one-pixel-specs, so it occurred to me that would be wasting processor power on things you couldn't see anyway.

 

While you're at it, bring down your ITEM and OBJECT draw distances. Even reduce GRASS if you find it helps.

 

In some cases, getting SKYRIM to perform optimally on your computer will take a lot of trial and error, but honestly, it's worth doing even without using WARZONES.

 

KEEP YOUR RESOURCE USE REASONABLE: Even with the SPAWN-O-METER, this mod adds a LOT of content, so do your best to give it a chance. If you are running 20000 hi-res texture packs, armor replacers, a million other mods that add NPCs, ENB, FXAA, etc then it should come as no surprise to you when you crash. This is not the fault of this - or any other mod. It is the COMBINATION of things that is causing it. Common sense people.

If you're having troubles with this or other mods, maybe try dropping your resolution... yes, yes, we all want the game to run at 1920x1080 with 16xx AA, 15 Filter Samples, Ultra-HIGH Quality Textures and at a smooth 120FPS, but y'know, that's probably not a reality anyway. Bring it down a notch and your gameplay will probably improve overall... just sayin'.

 

UGRIDS TO LOAD: If your UGRIDS are set to anything above 5 and you crash, I'm only going to say 'toldya so'. You want the quick math? 5 GRIDS loads 36 cells COMPLETELY into memory. 7 GRIDS loads 64 cells. 9 GRIDS loads 100 cells. That means you are forcing your computer to load EVERYTHING from 100 game cells into memory. See? Crash-city. This is NOT a harmless alteration unless you have an uber-rig.

 

If you are getting a repeatable crash with no other mods and after following the instructions below, then I want to hear about it so I can look to fix it. If you can honestly tell me you've done everything you can to troubleshoot, then I will gladly hear you out.

 

NOTE : If troubleshooting your computer setup is not in your interest and/or you don't have time for it, I understand, but then doing something for you isn't in my interest. I am doing everything I can to make this mod work for most of you, and you gotta help me to help you.

 

 

 

 

More various problem due to other conflicts with other mods in your load order

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

TravellersOfSkyrim.esm Active<------Great more AI's

 

Remove Interior Fog V2 - Skyrim.esp Active <----Great conflict with FX lighting

Note: Use Remove Interior Fog V2 - Dawnguard.esp in addition to include Dawnguard locations.

Note: Use Remove Interior Fog V2 - Hearthfire.esp in addition to include Hearthfires locations.

Birdsofskyrim.esp Active <------------

 

What made you think that putting 25 birds each with an AI into cities with more people was a good idea? Don't get mad just saying

 

Remove Interior Fog V2 - Dawnguard.esp Active

Remove Interior Fog V2 - Hearthfire.esp Active

 

 

 

So the Warzones guy basically said expect crashing.

So I can avoid writing more I will say

 

All those script mods I have not listed, will tax a Vanilla game with just those.

Also your using ENB on top of that so whyaaaaat?

Your ok with a 50% hit to performance....with your lineup?

 

45 FPS is GOLD STANDARD under stress conditions.

 

PS

TO the OP, you should give Ripple and the othe helpful posters Kudos' for taking time out of their playtime to help you.

I don't think this is related to mods at all, and my system is more than enough to run this game. I don't think this is mods, because I don't use any. And I still get the same issue, even after backing up to a different old save and start fast traveling to and from the city a few times, to duplicate the crash. Don't post unhelpful obvious mod conflicts. This is a game related issue that seems to happen to a lot of people, just different cities. It's more likely OS conflict or hardware conflict. I have all my drivers updated. I run no addition programs in the back ground. So helpful information is appreciated, instead of useless sarcasm. Thank you to the helpful people.

 

PS: I'm not the OP - but I'm sure he's grateful to those who understand how frustrating it can be to have an unsolved issue that's game breaking, and try to help the best they can.

Just because someone suffering from tuberculosis is coughing does not mean everyone who coughs has tuberculosis. Just because you experience CTDs or other problems after fast travel does not mean your CTDs or other problems are triggered by the same causes as everyone who experience CTDs and problems after fast travel.

 

There was no sarcasm from gamefever . Maybe he was being (rightfully) 'snippy' in pointing out that the OP did not even bother to read the mod description or it's readme--description and readme that took the modder a bit of time to type up--which contained (apparently "obvious", as you say) instructions the OP did not follow.

 

The OP's (heavily modded) set up is not the same as your set up. Posting in this thread with your own (probably unrelated) issue just confuses the thread. Start your own request for assistance thread, post as much information as you can (if you are using no mods or DLCs, then post system specs, ini settings, driver versions, and patterns to the issue you may have noticed, anything you think will help so people don't have to 'guess'), and we'll do our best to help.
