» Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:36 pm I've installed quite the collection of mods (see LO). The game runs fine, FPS in cities aside (due to BC on my creaking old rig), but every now & then I get a CTD. I can live with this & expect it (with a heavy LO in regard to my rig) but some CTD's seem to happen repeatedly at the same point on the map (which I'm guessing is down to something I can fix?). The CTD that's bugging me at the moment always happens in the vicinity of the Druid Treehome (Coblized version).
So basically what can I do to track the source of CTD's & fix the problem(s)? So far I've turned off HDR, turned on interior shadows to minimum & changed iShadowMapResolution from 256 to 1024. Other than putting my LO on an extreme diet which I really don't want to do (but if I have to..I will), I have no clue what to do next.........
I'm about to read the 'FO3Edit training manual'. So I can attempt to clean the plugins I'm using. (bitting my nails over this as I fear I don't have the technical understanding to carry this out!. Is there a dummies guide or how-to video?, found a few guides but they seem to be aimed at the intermediate user).
My specs: (bitting off more than I can chew?)
