» Thu May 31, 2012 12:54 pm since 2 days I recognized a strange problem with my skyrim, a lag appeared periodically, I didn't take the time on it, but it must be around 1 minute.
At first I thought the reason was some recent installed mods, or an update I didn't recognize.
So, after deinstalling all my approximately 30 installed mods, I tried again, yet the problem didn't go away.
Then I played around with fps limiters, but that didn't brought me anything.
Then I tried around with graphic settings, setting from lowest to highest, didn't work either.
At last I thought the reason must be some corrupted gamefile, so I checked my files for consistency, 4 files with a size of 3 Gig in total seemed to be broken so I redownloaded them.
But, still the same thing.
Then I thought when the lag started to appear, and I loaded the last savefile I thought where this problem wasn't there, which was about 2 or 3 days ago.
And èt voilà, the lag wasn't there at that point.
I can't remember which mods I installed in the time between a savefile without that problem and a savefile with the problem, but I can remember I update quite some mods and installed about 7 new one, which were mostly of graphical nature. Also I updated skse.
And just now when I thought I would upload the savefile so you guys can try it yourself, I recognized the strange filesize of the saves:
savefile without the periodic lag - 5 Mb
savefile with the periodic lag - 43 Mb
So the problem is without a doubt a corrupted savefile.
I don't want to know how to fix that savefile, because there didn't pass THAT much time that between them that I couldn't just repeat it in a few hours, but what interests me most is:
How can this happen?
And how can I avoid such stuff to happen?
Why can mods corrupt my savefiles and implant a periodic lag in them which also quadraples their filesize.
Anyone made experience with such problems?
