» Sat Jun 22, 2013 11:33 pm Hello folks. I am experiencing some major problems with my game and I am hoping that I can get some help troubleshooting it further than I already have on my own. I am getting random CTDs without errors after roughly 1 to 2 hours. They happen without any logical pattern and I am at my wit's end trying to come up with a solution. First thing's first however I will list the steps I have taken to try to stop my CTDs or increase the time I can play without them occurring and failed.
1) Tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of my mods, including redownloading the official DLCs.
2) Ran BOSS to set up a preliminary load order.
3) Cleaned the DLCs and all other mods requiring it with the latest TES5Edit.
4) Created a bashed patch.
5) Tweaked Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini with tested and true values.
6) Uninstalled some of my mods that were possibly causing issues including RCO, UFO, Imp's More Complex Needs.
7) Downgraded my SkyrimHD texture packs from 4096 to 2048. Also did this with some other HD texture packs I use.
8) Tried running the game with Game Booster and ATTK.
Game is still crashing after all of those things.
