stiXzza Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Please help:So I've been playing Dragonborn for a while now, and at first I seemed to get a few CTD's here and there. After a while, I noticed that they were happening at certain areas on Solstheim, especially in the open world (exterior).I haven't found a mod which could be the issue, and I don't know how to look at the scripts, or how to pin-point what the cause of this problem could be. I'm running +/- 5 Graphic mods (SSMIM, AOF Detailed mountains, Realistic Lighting 3.5, Imaginator, a bunch of retextures and Terrain Bump with Enhanced Distant terrain 1_4 HD)I am also running DUEL Combat Realism 5, Dance of Death 3-3 (non SKSE version) and a bunch of overhual mods (combat + vampires). I have also used BOSS to correct my load order, and it still seems as if the issue persists. These aren't all my mods [i run about 90 - 100 mods +/-] but only these that I thought were worth mentioning. My current specs are:- i7 2600k Quadcore 3.4Ghz-12 GB RAM-Asus GTX 560 Ti 1.2 GB I'm getting annoyed with these CTD's, and they only (mostly) occur on SolstheimSo any help or suggestions at all would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance!

ripple Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It's not 'urgent', unless you are going to die in the next 48 hours and would like a solid Skyrim gaming session before you do..... :dry: Post your BOSS (with the messages), include the list of plugins not recognized by BOSS if one is generated, enclose them in spoiler tags so they don't clutter the screen.

forum42087 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) have you checked the papyrus log following a CTD for any errors? also I always sort out a CTD by going through exactly what was going on when it happened, if you say your in open area's is it when LOD's are loading or near civilizations more likely vs. wilderness and what are the most common or frequent assets in that cell that could possibly be the problem? Usually by looking @ the mod list while doing my "breakdown" in my head and combined with any applicable details from the log I can figure it out, or worst case scenario narrow it down to a small enough group that a quick disable/enable process of elimination in NMM takes care of it. Just curious too, but does BOSS place Dragonborn.esm below ApachiiHair.esm or was that you manually placed? I've always thought a good rule of thumb with load order was too load "Official" plugins first, then customs. Same with the HighResTexturePack01.esp, HighResTexturePack02.esp, and HighResTexturePack03.esp I always keep them the first 3 plugins after the master file section, same thing basically, "Official" first.Good luck mate I hope you get it sorted and it's nothing major with your save or anything, which is possible when you use a lot of mods, but it's just as likely too be a conflict or error so I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya! :smile: Edited February 23, 2013 by forum42087 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that BOSS does load Dragonborn after Apachii, that's weird. I doubt that it's an issue with my save, because it happened to all my characters (3) at certain spots on the island. So I doubt that it could be a mod conflict, because none of my mods edit the exteriors of Solstheim - let alone I have no mods that alter dragonborn whatsoever. I'll try loading it before Apachii and see if it helps, but I get the feeling I'm one of many people have CTD issues with dragonborn. Maybe Bethesda will bring out an update, I mean it's really strange that these CTD's happen at certain/spcific point on the island, and I also notice that Solstheim is more intensive on my PC than any other place, so maybe it's that, who knows. But I have started a new save today, and I'll see if that helps, but other than that, I really don't know what the issue could be. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTE: I posted my system specs earlier, and I am running a few retextures, SMIM and RLwC 3.5 . So could it be an issue with memory?

Hope that helps anyone who is helping me, if there is someone :3 Edited February 23, 2013 by stiXzza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borix666 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have a similar issue, so I won`t start another topic. When I sleep in Solstheim, I wake up near temple of Miraak or a stone, and I cant go away because of CTD. I tried walking, fast travel and console commands - all results in CTD. Also I tried turning off all mods, lowering resolution, loading older saves. Can you help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripple Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) @borixDon't post your issue in other people's request for assistance thread. It just confuses the thread. Please start your own request for assistance thread. @stiXzzaRe-enable the plugins you disabled, then... 1) Cleaning: download TES5Edit from that link, follow the instructions on the page and clean all the plugins flagged by BOSS as containing 'dirty edit.' You'll need to remove identical to master entries as well as undelete/disable deleted references. 2) Did BOSS also generate a list of plugins it did not recognized? 3) If you can consistently reproduce the CTD, the easiest way to find out if a mod (and which) is responsible is to disable the plugins in groups then test in game, so you can narrow down on the plugin that is responsible for causing or triggering the CTDs. If you are running out of VRAM because of the texture mods you are using, that might account for some random CTDs, but not the reproducible one.

Just a question: What is this "Cleaning". I've seen quite a bit of it, and I just want to know what it could be. So what does it mean if a module isn't "clean"?
