Random "silent" CTDs? : V

» Sun May 25, 2014 5:19 pm

I've noticed this a lot in my past playthroughs, but I don't think I can take it anymore.

By "silent" CTDs, I mean CTDs that happen instantly and without any error. The game just shuts off and...that's that.

My load order:

What's the problem here?

Do you have sorted you load order, and cleaned with Tes5edit...Yes ???

Have you encountered those crashes at the beginning of your game play ???

----------

Have you checked for mods incompatibilities ???

Crashes at which point ???? - Any save, that you don't get a crash ???

In addition.....(read above too)

Did the crashes just start all of a sudden? Have you had them from the beginning? Do they occur randomly or in specific places? How often would you say they occur?

Actually guys, I just started the playthrough two hours ago with all of the mods above. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

But yes, I sorted my load order (with BOSS, not LOOT) and cleaned all necessary mods with TES5Edit.

I guess you could say these crashes have occurred "since the beginning". They occur randomly. As for how often, I would say it varies. Apparently, changing the detail of the shadows help extend the playtime. I set mine on low but crashes still happen, albeit not as soon.

Could you start a new character disabling demanding graphical modes (via NMM most probably), and see how far you can get ???

I would start with the Static Mesh Improvement Mod, Flora Overhaul.

[ It could be your game crashes because the insufficient VRAM of your GPU - so out of memory ]

Alternate Live Another Life:

Due to the sensitive nature of the mod, it should be loaded relatively late in the load order. A lot of other mods may seek to make modifications to Helgen and the character quests.

Moving this further down in your list will likely help, a lot.
