Ok so I've got a few mods installed including Skyrim Flora Overhaul (SFO) installed along with the official HD DLC pack and the HD 2K texture pack. With all of these the game runs great, however, when I try to leave Markarth I get an infinite loading screen (ILS). I've got SKSE with the memory patch installed and my system specs are below in my signature.

Here's the kicker, I can delete the "tamrieltreelod.dds" file and then get out of Markarth then add it again but this gets old. I want to know WHY this occurs so I can solve it without having to remove this file all the time. I've got plenty of memory and the rest of the game runs flawlessly. Any ideas? It's bugging me!

The authors side suggest, you should install that mode too, if you experience an ILS.

Also good to read the 1st post here, after the authors post: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/141/?tab=4&&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fcomments%2F%3Fmod_id%3D141%26page%3D1%26sort%3DDESC%26pid%3D0%26thread_id%3D459497&pUp=1

I hope you have added those lines in the skse.ini file, to make the memory patch to work. !!!

[Memory]

DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
ScrapHeapSizeMB=256

Does this happen with previous saves or a new game?

Perhaps an issue with that LOD?

Thanks for the replies.


Thanks for those links, I will check them out next time I play. I have tried 768/512 and 768/256 for those settings above. Both yield the same result.

Both new games and old saves cause it. I've downloaded the mod half a dozen times to be sure it wasn't corrupted. I would love to find an LOD file that will work with the SFO mod.

I'm curious as to what causes this issue.

There are alternative LODs to choose from. CHeck under Optionals. Try some of the lower res LODs.
