Close To Desktop (No Mods at all) Have All DLC

Post » Sat May 11, 2013 12:36 pm

My skyrim has been working fine for weeks without any issues with all three downloaded content Dragonborn, Dawn-guard and Hearthfire.

Spoiler


My game runs through steam.

I grabbed my saved game and tried it on a different computer and it worked fine.

If there is any advice on to fix this random problem please help My friend did this quest fine without the CTD close to desktop issue.

Kind Regards

Sometimes CTDs for no apparent reason is from either Scripts getting confused, or the cell your Fast Traveling too is not rendering correctly. In one case, the cell I was trying to go to had a body that rendered partially underground and the game would not want to render the cell if I fast traveled to it.

So, to fix this, go to an interior cell, or in place if none are near, and wait 73 game hours. This will usually clear up any hanging scripts that would cause this (some have had to wait 31 days but that is rare) then try to fast travel to the location.

If you still get crashage, then travel to a nearby marker and walk to the location.

I really appreciate your feedback and help i believe this is the solution I was looking for as I fas travelled away quickly and back and then the floor around me was just grey i totally forgot about that so it seems the rendering messed up to as you have mentioned thanks for that i will try and fast travel away (but there are enemies near) so Maybe i just need to load an old save. or find a kill all command and fast travel quickly or coc teleport myself to whiterun or something thanks alot for your help. I will get back to you guys to tell you the outcome.

:P weeeey

Cell render issues can also be fixed by just rebooting the system to clear any cell caches and reloading the game.

Note, sometimes those "gray" textures you see are LOD textures that the game uses instead of the close up textures. This can happen because the game can't render the correct texture. This is usually not a problem, so you don't have to worry if your running along and see one of these from time to time. Unless of course you crash a few seconds later......

LOl i suppose your right im glad i have this new found knowledge as I will be playing this game until i die :P. Unless there will be a new version of the game of-course Ah yeah I rebooted the game a few times and the computer but the problem did not cease to die. But your help worked perfectly so I will do other quests for a while to give time for Solthstein to cool down :P

Recommend Post being a sticky for others to see .
