All right. It seems like there's been a sudden uptick in C++ runtime errors with Skyrim lately, and it seems to me that it would be helpful to 1) gather all our errors in one place, and 2) start comparing them to see if we can discern any possible pattern. Right now we've got 3+ threads with information scattered between them, which is...questionably useful. So let's get down to business, shall we?

To clarify for any newcomers to the thread, this is not your standard silent CTD, but an error box that pops up while playing Skyrim from the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library (Skyrim is coded in C++). The error's been the same for all of us so far: "R6025 - pure virtual function call," and looks http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww113/IceAxe18/2012-11-03_13-50-59_291.jpg. (Thanks to IceAxe18.) This error causes the game to hang/become unresponsive until force-closed by the user.

For anyone who's experienced this error, I'd like you to post the following information:

- what you were doing at the time of the error. In combat, walking down the road, fast traveling, crafting, etc. Where you were in the worldspace and what quest you were on may also be useful. Don't be afraid to get specific.

- what version of Skyrim you were running at the time of the error. Patch 1.8.151, 1.7, etc. Theoretically most people should be on 1.8 now, but if you've experienced this error with prior patches, let us know!

- do you have Dawnguard installed and active in your save? If yes, where are you in the Dawnguard questline? Haven't started, completed, etc. Use spoiler tags if you think it's necessary.

And most importantly:

- if you're using mods, post your load order. If you weren't using mods and still got this error, note that as well. If your load order is particularly long please use spoiler tags.

- system information. Easiest way to do this would be to generate a dxdiag report. If you don't know how to do that, allow me to steal shamelessly from Nick Breckon's post about it.

1. From the Start Menu, select “Run” (or type “run” in the Search Programs field)
2. Enter “DxDiag” (without quotes)
3. When the DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens, select “Save All Information…” to generate a text file with the DxDiag info we need.

Open that text file and then copy/paste the contents here. PLEASE use spoiler tags. Dxdiags are very lengthy and make reading threads difficult if they're not spoiler-ized. Spoiler tags are done like so:

[spoiler] Copy and paste your dxdiag info here [/spoiler] 

Also feel free to include any other information you think might help. Have you made any changes to your system lately? Windows updates, driver updates, etc. After you got this error did you try repairing or reinstalling your C++ library, and if so, did it help? Etc.

Edit: per suggestion, here's links to some of the recent threads on this issue:

Individual post in the http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1405600-dawnguard-results-in-crashfest-game-freezing-or-ctd-ing-whenever-memory-adress-reaches-13gb/page__view__findpost__p__21548360 thread.

I've also seen this error reported on the Steam forums, both recently and dating all the way back to November 2011. User BGH122 there gave a good summary of what the error could potentially be about and solutions you can try if you're willing/haven't already:

Gah, gonna be late for work for typing this out, but I thought I'd explain what the error means.

In object-oriented programming, a virtual function is a function (a re-used way of 'doing something' to data common throughout the application) that has to be rewritten in each new 'page' (class) in which its used in the code. So a call to a virtual function isn't valid, because it needs to be overridden (rewritten) in each new 'page'. If the programmer tries to directly call a virtual function without first overriding it with some new code, it'll crash because the common runtime doesn't allow direct calls to virtual functions.

Either this means that you run into some area of the game that isn't properly programmed, or you don't have the http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555, or you're using some sort of mod which has been improperly programmed. Download the redistributable for C++, install it, restart your system and then disable any non-Bethesda data files in the Data Files link that you can select when starting Skyrim.

Hope this helps.

Here's my information from the one runtime error I've encountered so far:

What you were doing at the time of the error: walking down the road between Whiterun and Riften/Windhelm, near to Valtheim Towers. The only quests I had active at the time were "The Fallen" and "Season Unending" from the main quest. Erik the Slayer and Meeko were following me.

What version of Skyrim you were running: 1.8.151.

Dawnguard installed and active in your save? Yes. However while the .esm is active I haven't really gotten involved in any of the Dawnguard content. I've just started/accepted the intro quest "Dawnguard" after being force-greeted by the new orc NPC, Durak.

I do use a few mods (~30), so here's my load order:

Any other additional information: aside from installing Dawnguard and associated mods (Unofficial Dawnguard Patch + a mod to disable random vampire attacks in cities + a patch for Enhanced Blood) on 27 September, I've made no significant changes to my system or Skyrim lately. No Windows updates, no new C++ library installs/repairs/changes.

Thanks for starting the thread.

It may help to provide the links to the other three and mention that this error can occur at random and with other games and all, too. I better see if I can track down that program now.

Alright, I've managed to track down the utilities I was thinking of. Well, found a group of 4. Unfortunately, I'm not able to jump over to Windows to test things, so I'm not really sure which one is the one we want.

In any case, here are the links:

Edit:

Now for my information:

I've only had this happen once in Skyrim. This was back around version 1.4 or so. However, mine was related to the Steam Overlay. I had paused the game with it for a while to check something with the web browser, had to go do something which took longer than I thought, and came back. When I tried to resume and close the Overlay, that's when it happened.

That was also the only crash (and only problem) I've ever had with Skyrim.

However, I've had it happen with other games and programs before and on many different computers just sort of randomly. /shrug

Good idea! I added some links to the OP, along with a post on the Steam forums that explains what this error could (potentially) mean a little better.

I wouldn't be quick to point the finger at the software using the API as having faulty programming just yet. This is Microsoft, you know. It'd help to see the code used, but that's not happening.

In any case, the first thing to do is to make sure all script extenders are gone and any mods that depend on them. I guess it wouldn't hurt to revert to a completely vanilla state, though.

Come to think of it, it could also be related to the new scripting language. It is brand new, after all. But we'll get there when we get there.

It'd definitely help to have one of Beth's programmers pop in here, though. It seems more widespread than it should be.
