Corrupted areas and CTDs

Post » Sun Feb 10, 2013 11:09 pm

From some time I have been experiencing some random CTDs, "Skyrim has stopped working". They seem to be related to certain areas that become corrupted not allowing me to reach them by any means.

I don't know which triggers the corruption itself but the only way to fix is to find the last save working properly and allowing me to travel to the affected area. Then I keep playing and everything is fine and the next save I make works properly. This is what really annoys me, from the same save where everything worked fine, there are two different saves, one of them gets corrupted and I notice several saves later then I go back to the good save, play for some time and make a new save which seems to be problems free.

Sadly, this has happened to me a few times so the problem it is still there, latent, lurking, waiting to corrupt my saves one more time... I really want to get rid of this bastard...I won't even ask him for a payback for the time lost, i just want him to leave me alone for good.

The affected areas so far: Markath area, Fort Greymoor area, Riften area, Bthalft ruins area...

I know maybe it is a monster I have created. I use BOSS for the load order issues but I have to admit that it is the only tool I use.

I don't use Wrye Bash, since I am far below the 250 mod limit and I keep the conflict on my leveld lists at minimun I don't see the point in using it, but for sure I am wrong, should I use it?

I don' use TES5edit either, I have some dirty mods according to BOSS, but I thought the cleaning issues TES5edit offers were intended to mod developers not users, but I think I am wrong again, should I use it?

If only I could detect when a save gets corrupted...The only way I can think of is (from time to time) to fast travel to every area and town in skyrim one after another, check that everything is fine, and keep playing...as a kind of preventive measure.

My load order (I use BOSS)
