Upgraded PC : Getting lower FPS? : V

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 7:13 am

I just upgraded from a Celeron dual core the CPU listed in my signature. I've installed a good chunk of mods I had before + a few more like Vurts Flora Overhaul and Open Cities. For some reason I'm getting significantly lower fps than I usually had. Before I would maintain 20-30 fps (I had a lock at 30) and now I am pressed to see 23 fps in Riverwood!

I've installed the newer SKSE with the memory fix and I've got an ENB with ENBoost running.

I have no idea why but whenever I try to run Skyrim now (skse or Skyrim Launcher) I get a message from windows saying that Skyrim has stopped working. I've verified cache on steam and even removed the TESV.exe and let Steam download a new one. Nothing changed.

Solved.

well 6850 is an old card now a days and with mods like Texture Replacers, vurts flora and open cities ( these 2 mods eat FPS ) check your GPU temperature it must be overheating also have you checked turning off ENB temporarily to see what FPS you get when its turned off. for current ENB series 6850 is a old card

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:25 am

I disabled the heavier feature of ENB and that gave me 35-40 fps until I got close to Whiterun, then I crashed.

I do not like throwing Open Cities into the Fire, but I recently reinstalled OCS and had pink Armors appearing in the Game on multiple characters.

I did fix the problem by installing Sheson's Memory Patch and ENBoost without an ENB. I increased the box sizes to 512k, and I think I have my VRAM being handled separately by tweaking the ENBoost ini. I have been able to reload a few Saves from when patch 1.9 affected OCS and play them without an Infinite Load Screen or Pink objects.

Whiterun by the Stables and Windhelm Docks are places where OCS is known to have problems, even before Patch 1.9.

You should get the OCS Patches for Dragonborn and Dawngaurd.

You need to move the USKP after Update.Esm, and the DLC Patches after the DLC manually, or upgrade/edit BOSS to place the patches correctly.

Vurts Flora Overhaul and Open Cities

Those can do it.

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:41 am

...or maybe something goes wrong with your other mod's you have installed (incompatibilities ?!?)

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 1:51 pm

Strange thing was I uninstalled VFO and didnt see any change in FPS.

Not sure if I have anything that would conflict in such a way. Any ideas?

» Thu Feb 27, 2014 5:15 pm

I said that as an idea, you have so many mod's (lol). !!!!

What's about your crash near Whiterun. ????

The crash sound's like a mod playing up.

Could you load a save, wait for 31 (in-game days), and after that go near Whiterun and make a new manual save. ???

Then load that save, and try to go to Whiterun. If you get a crash again, just disable some mod's (for example 10 every time), and load that last save (near Whiterun), every time you disable the next 10 mod's.

----------------------

You could see your papyrus.log file, but i thing with so many mod's it would be huge. !!!!

Hmm. I'll get rid of some of my mods. I may take a look at Gopher's current play through and see what mods he uses for a comparison.
