CTDs - should I just restart the game?

[oduritin]

I have been getting CTD/freezing/infinite loading loop in such a way it's become impossible to play any more.

 

It's not totally random, but it's not totally replicable either. It happens at roughly the same place and when I try roughly the same action. (e.g. when I approach an ongoing bandit raid on the road, when I open a dead body, when I open inventory or map, or quest journal) Nothing new here, right?

 

Usually doesn't happen indoors, including dungeons. Most frequently it's the cities and out in the wild that this happens the most.

 

Probably not my machine. I am getting average 30 FPS, with only occasional stuttering when there is a large number of objects/actors onscreen.

 

I do, however, admit that I've been installing and uninstalling mods without any special procedure. This is most likely the problem, but now even enabling/disabling mods and trying to pinpoint the one that might be causing problem is not working very well. Disabling all mods doesn't prevent CTDs, and sometimes disabling a mod, loading the game, quit and then enabling the mod could sold the problem. It seems somewhat of a random thing.

 

So my question is, without whining too much, is there any quick things I can do about this? I don't want to restart the game, and if I had to, I might just give up playing, which I don't want to.

 

I am willing to upgrade hardware if that can solve the problem. (current hardware i7-2600, AMD HD 5700 series, 8gb ram).

 

I tried cleaning dirty edits for the first time today (still not completely sure what the H I was doing or why exactly I was doing it, but followed the instructions and seemed to work ok. Just didn't solve my problems)

 

I will really appreciate any help.

 

Here's my BOSS log.

Don't take this harshly but, my first suggestion is to not Install and uninstall mods during a game except for an explicit purpose. That being said I would download Skyrim Save Cleaner and see if it helps. If you haven't already done so, add a SKSE folder to your data folder with a text file called SKSE.ini that contains [General] carriage return ClearInvalidRegistrations=1 which will gradually during play get rid of unused scripts.

 

If your problems persist then starting a new game is probably your only recourse.

Thanks for the suggestion. No, not harsh at all. I know I wasn't being careful. To be fair to myself, I only recently started the game without the full knowledge of the implication of doing it, but the fact is I installed and uninstalled mods indiscreetly.

 

I will try this and if it doesn't work, restart the game.

If you have A Quality World Map installed - Uninstall

If you have a HD Texture overhaul with 4K textures (for the environment (cities, world, etc)) installed, replace with a 2K version

If you have modified your Skyrim.ini uGridsToLoad setting, place it bad to the default 5, following the instructions to do so (or your save will not open).

A bit of mod cleanup is probably also needed.

 

Update/Dawnguard/Hearthfire/Dragonborn.esm - Clean with TES5Edit.

JSwords - Update to the cleaned .esp if you haven't already.

Unofficial High Res patch - Uninstall if you're not using it.

BabettesFeastBalanced - Replace the .esp with the updated one, if you haven't already.

Lanterns of Skyrim All In One CoT patches - Delete all but the one you're actually using.

Smithing Perks/Crafting Complete Overhauls - Replace the .esps with the updated ones if you haven't already.

Key Armonizer - Clean.

SoS Civilisation patches - Delete all but the one you're actually using.

UFO - Considering you have Cerwiden, you may wish to uninstall this and install something like AFT (Amazing Follower Tweaks) instead. It apparently doesn't work well with more advanced followers.

FollowerWander2 - Delete. UFO/AFT does this.

 

Unrecognised Files - compare what these mods do to what's already been organised, and move them into place. For example, put 'Auto Unequip Shield.esp' under 'Auto Unequip Ammo.esp'. You should also check the mod pages for these to see if there are any warnings about conflicts, as BOSS is a little out of date due to the ones working on the masterlist being very backlogged.

 

A new game is highly recommended, as uninstalling and reinstalling mods constantly is a very, very good way to corrupt saves and cause tons of issues.

Thanks all for inputs.

I think I'm ok after following the steps here. Haven't seen a CTD for a while after doing it.

(just the "advanced technique" part)

 

Do you still recommend I do things suggested even though I don't seem to have immediate problems?

[Jeir]

Cleaning mods, updating to stable versions, and avoiding conflicting mods (you have all the Lanterns of Skyrim CoT patches active - you should only have one) is always a good idea to avoid issues.

Thanks for all inputs.

I took most of the steps above by cleaning mods, trying to reorder things, isolating mods that might be problematic (turns out one instance of infinite loading loop went away when I disabled interesting NPCs. So I suppose it will have to stay that way, which is too bad)

 

I also disabled a bunch of other mods that I don't find essential or suspected might be causing problem like adventurers and travelers, more stables, etc.

 

I think I got things relatively stable, or so I thought, but I still get freezes when there is a npc vs. npc battle.

In the dungeons, no matter how many enemies there are, there's never a problem.

But out in the open or in the city, whenever there is a battle going on between NPCs, (bandits, marauders, stormcloaks, imperials, vampires etc) there is a very high chance of the game freezing. Since there seems to be a pattern (although I still get random freezes from time to time)

Based on the BOSS log above, can anyone suggest which mod might be responsible?

If needed, I will upload the current BOSS log.
