CTDs... I give up. Help?

Post » Sun Nov 04, 2012 3:55 pm

So I've been tweaking with my load order to try and achieve a stable game but no matter what I do, I still get random CTDs here and there. Usually when travelling around (Most recently, when approaching Windhelm bridge), equipping things, or opening up a container/body.

Can anybody help? I'm using BOSS and here is my load list/order:

I know that's quite a lot but I can't seem to figure out what might be causing it - I've tried disabling them in chunks but it still remains a mystery!

Thanks in advance for any advice!

The recent 1.8 Patch, while it seems to be playing reasonably nice, may have affected your stability.

There's also the potential that you've just hit your system's limits for mods.




You'll also want to move your bashed patch to the end of your load order

I'm going to blame it on 1.8 because I've been working on stabilizing this quite hard and having very little luck.

I think you've just used too many mods too soon. When the game is still being officially updated mods that depend on previous versions of Update.esm etc will screw up your game. I suggest a clean install + use only a few mods which you can't live without for now.

My game started crashing every 3-4 minutes since 1.8 and it was totally stable (only one CTD ever) under the last patch, same mod loadout. (You may have seen in another thread I thought it was related to Vampires, but I have since eliminated that, it was just a coincidence).

I'm trying real hard to figure out which mod is causing it, going through just activating a couple at a time and so far, it has not crashed. I'm getting worried, only got very big and popular mods left to test such as SkyUI, WATER, Character Creation Overhaul and Vurts Skyrim Flora Overhaul and I can't see anyone else saying these have caused crashing since 1.8 :-(

I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I test the last few mods I haven't tested yet.

I can save you some time, since I use WATER and SkyUI with 1.8 and there's no problems.

I have also been having a lot of trouble with CTDs, what SEEMS to have fixed it (jinx) is downloading the http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10175 1.27D beta.

Also, updating http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3222 to the newly released 2.0.2 has helped.
