I'm having some problems with my modded game. It seems fine, except a few airdrowning fish here and there, but it keeps crashing on me every few minutes. It CTDs and the explanation I get is that it "stopped working". It's rendered the game unplayable for me. Could anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

I also use several texture packs such as QTP3Redimized with these mods.

Hello...
I have the same problem... I'll start playing the game, and then at some point within first 20 minutes (sometimes its 5 minutes, sometimes its 45 minutes), the game will stop working and then Windows will search (unsuccessfully of course) for a solution to the problem... I reinstalled the game and tried to follow load orders and all that using Mod Manager. The game would work just fine before I used mods, so maybe it is my order, but everything should be compatable because I followed recommended load orders. I have the game of the year edition with shivering isles and knights of the nine expansions.

I have a new Dell Studio XPS (got it in Nov and it has plenty of RAM, Great graphics card, etc)

Any help is much appreciated.

Are you using OBSE? If so, any plugins?

Not sure which of us (perhaps both) you are talking to... but I did not install it, and avoided any mods requiring it. Just want to keep things more simple while getting a few fun looking and of course (the unofficial patch and OOO) into the game.

Hello, My lord Nincompoop!
long time no hear...

Your load order seems OK to me, so it is not about installation and load order, it is about compatibility.

I suggest you try your game without QTP3. As a first step. And try to play.

If still game does crash, then try without UL. And try.

If still crashes, try disabling BBCities and try.

These are the usual culprits.

I will check your LO and try to find mods causing frequent CTD and edit this post.

Edit: another usual culprit might be Kvatch rebuilt.

By the way, as you play COBL, you can dump Denock Arrow because this feature is included in COBL, just turn the option on

Have you seen yor Throwable Dung 1.1 @ http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28153? As promissed

Neither of those are going to be causing the crashes, QTP3 is very widely used, so I'd have heard if people crashed using it, and the ULs are one of the biggest and most widely used mod projects too, so I'd disregard that too.

BOSS your load order anyway, you may not have a lot of mods now, but you will, so you might as well get into the habit.

EDIT: Missed the fact that the two LOs were diffferent. Advice goes for both though.

QTP3 can be at issue if the VRAM on the video card is being exceeded. Even with QTP3-Redmized it's possible to go well beyond 1GB. Doing so invites the game to explode into little pieces.

I dont' use QTP3 or UL. Again, I'm going very simple.... It just seems to me that for some reason Unofficial Patch and OOO don't like eachother? My Video card is ATI Radeon HD 4670 and should have plenty of Ram and all that. Again, my game did work when I played it without all the mods. I really don't want to have to go through and take off one mod at a time, (esp because sometimes game crashes after 5 minutes, other times it can last an hour (so it it tough to determine what mods are causing issues). Maybe I'll make my post a second topic instead of adding to this thread.

Thanks for all the help,
Chris

This sounds like a problem I had a few months back when I bought a new pc-the game crashed on a regular 15 to 20 minute period. I eventually tracked it down to the Catalyst Control Centre for my ATI card and switched off the Catalyst AI setting- end of problem. I have read of other people with the same kind of problem and it help them too. Hope it does for you

Hello...

Thanks for the help. So only the AAI seems to be the issue? I disabled that and will try playing tonight to see what happens. All the rest of the setting will be fine keeping them on? How will shutting off this setting effect other aspects of my computers video stuff?

Thanks,
Chris

I tried it... it worked longer, but still had a freeze up... I was going along well and actually beleiving it would last... then poof, freeze and drop to desktop. Argh!

Hey, guys.

Thanks for all the help here. Yes, I do have OBSE and multiple plugins, such as the Uncapper. I'd check the VRAM usage, but I don't know how. And I BOSSed it recenly as well, even though I didn't add anything. :shrug:

I'll try the catalyst AI setting (as I have a 4870) and try disabling BetterCities (if I can do so cleanly). Will dump DenockArrows.


PS: Ah, Svilen, you uploaded it? Thanks for that. I can see you someone else added a pic as well.

Running Pluggy, by any chance? If so, which version?

Running Pluggy v125.

125b is the latest stable one, 132 the latest dev version. Try upgrading, at least to 125b. Or go to 132. See if that helps. You can easily switch back.

To check VRAM usage, open up the in game console by pressing the tild key ~ once in the console type "tdt" and hit enter now type "sdt 13" and press enter. Hit the tild key to return to the game.
