Skyrim SE freeze (without and with ENBoost)

[Surtshellir]

For a long time now I have the problem that my Skyrim freezes after 30-45 minutes of playing. This mainly happens on the loading screen, and mostly when I travel to distant places by fast travel. The result is an infinite loading screen.

I've already tried everything imaginable, read through all forum posts I'd found, my enblocal.ini was adjusted again and again, the same with the EngineFixes.ini. No matter how I set which value, the problem remained and there were never any significant changes. Neither better nor worse.

The load order was made with LOOT. I've already deactivated and deleted some mods. Often a new Game begun, etc. I also often read that it could be due to the overheating of the GPU. As you can see, I reduced the FPS to 40 with enblocal (before even only 30 FPS), my computer didn't even got a bit hot meanwhile playing (and apart from that, I play games that require significantly more GPU resources than Skyrim, so the games doesn't freeze either). In addition, I can restart Skyrim immediately afterwards, the game then works again fine for 30-40 minutes, no matter how hot or cold my computer is.

My hope is that there may be people here who had the same problem before, or that you recognize mods in my list that could possibly cause a freeze. Maybe something is wrong with my enblocal.ini or with the EngineFixes.ini, although I had carefully read the guides on the Internet.

I noticed that the game stopped buffering the exterior cell(s) after a certain amount of time.

For example: when I go to the Silver-Blood Inn in Markarth and then go out again, there is usually no loading screen because I was in Markarth before.

But after a long time of playing it is so that he reloads the entire exterior of Markarth completely new, and of course it takes longer.

This happens after about 30-40 minutes of playing time. As if the game entered "PCB" into the console by itself. Maybe it is an indication of the cause of my problem.

My "uExterior Cell Buffer" and "uGridsToLoad" in the SkyrimPrefs.ini both have the standard values ââ(uExterior Cell Buffer = 36, uGridsToLoad = 5).

I have adjusted the settings with BethINI, reset my Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini to default values. I deactivated ENB. I even lowered the FPS rate to 30 for test.

After 30-40 minutes: freeze. 90% in the loadingscreen and mostly when I want to travel through Skyrim by fasttravel. The loadingscreen can be moved, but it never stops loading. The music in the background continues to play. I'm slowly starting to despair.

I hope someone can help me, I already fight against the problem since months.

Doesn't anyone have an idea? I haven't been able to solve the problem until now. Maybe someone has experience with the mods that could possibly cause the problem.

 

I don't know if it helps, but I completely reloaded my Windows because of other problems and was so naive to hope that the problem would resolve itself.

I don't know a solution, but I also come here with a game that's no longer playable. I can't even get past the main menu now after the last Windows 10 update :/ Your specs are even way better than mine but I have no idea what would cause the game to suddenly no longer work. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling and yep, a factory reset like you to resolve other general performance issues. Still no luck.

 

Posting here was my last attempt to fix it before officially just retiring the game. I hope you find a solution!
