Yet another crash problem.


Recommended Posts

Posted

So, I've got a moderately modded game, which otherwise works perfectly fine.

 

The problem:

Sporadic crashes. No "Skyrim has stopped working" windows, no "Pure virtual function call" windows, nothing. Just the game exiting without any warning.

I checked Windows' own event viewer, and there was nothing listed in relation to Skyrim that I could find. Whether or not that's because I need to fuck about with OS logging to catch it, or because Skyrim isn't even leaving a crash event, I don't know.

 

These crashes happen few and far between. One day I'll have the game open for ~8 hours without an issue, and the next I won't be able to go 15 minutes without this issue happening. Time between crashes varies between those amounts of times.

 

They do not appear to be location dependent, as all of them have occurred when I was doing different things, be it trading with a merchant, or just running around, exploring the world.

Going through the papyrus logs as well, there seems to be no consistency to the last few lines. They are attached at the end of this post.

 

 

My setup:

PC specs are as follows:

i7 6700k running @4.0GHz

16 GB of 2133MHz DDR4 memory

EVGA GTX 1050ti SC edition running @ stock speeds

Intel 760p series 128GB M.2 SSD as the boot drive

Toshiba 7200RPM 3TB HDD as the game/not-so-used programs drive. i.e. where Skyrim is installed to.

Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit version 1709 OS Build 16299.431

 

I am running Skyrim Legendary Edition version 1.9.32.0

I am using SKSE version 0.1.7.3

I am using FNIS "Generate FNIS Behaviour files for Users" version 7.4.5

I am using Dual Sheath Redux Patcher version 1.7.2

I am using LOOT version 0.12.5 with masterlist revision fa38e00

I am using ENBSeries Wrapper version 0.3.1.9

I am using Nexus Mod Manager version 0.63.14

 

I currently have it so that both vanilla Skyrim launchers, the SKSE launcher, and FNIS all 'launch as administrator'. I don't know if that would have any adverse effects, but I'm noting it here anyways.

I do not use NMM to download mods, I merely use it to install mods to keep track of overwrites.

I have cleaned my vanilla masters, save for Skyrim.esm, as per the Modding Guide's Instructions, and have otherwise followed said guide as close as possible.

FNIS complains of one missing animation file which 'Bathing In Skyrim' uses. It appears that the specific animation from the mod that BIS references no longer exists in that mod, at least, not under the same name that BIS expects. This is one of two animations that BIS references, the other is there.

Attached are my ini files for SKSE and the base game.

I am using the following SKSE plugins:

Chargen
CrashFixPlugin

DoubleJumpPlugin

Fuz Ro D'oh

hdtHighHeelNative

hdtPhysicsExtensions

JContainers

MemoryBlocksLog

MfgConsole

mzinWaterUtil

nioverride

SafetyLoad

SetVehicleFixPlugin

SKSE_JoyOfPerspective

StorageUtil

Their respective ini/log/txt files are in the attached archive.

 

What I have tried doing:

Various crash fixing/memory patching plugins/mods/tweaks, as seen above.

Using the ENB Forced Borderless Windowed mode.

Ensuring that FNIS/SKSE/ENB/Patches are all up to date.

Ensuring that LOOT/FNIS has been used.

 

What I have yet to try:

Vanilla/SKSE only.

Modded with no HDT/BBP/TBBP anything.

 

I don't even know if there is something specific that could be causing these crashes, or whether or not it could plainly be summed up as Oldrim being Oldrim.

skyrim.ini under papyrus settings

bEnableTrace=1   << change to 0 this is eating up cpu resources that are better spent on keeping framerate stable

 

From crash fix log

 

30 May 23:43:31 WARNING: ExpandSystemMemoryX64 must be set false in enblocal.ini or you may experience additional crashes!

 

I don't use this mod so maybe this warning is always here?

 

This is mostly speculation but from my experience from xpmse features the game does not handle dynamic scaling very well. If my game starts random ctd I always would find this in the logs XPMSEWeaponStyleScaleEffect, which I don't know why it was running because I don't use any of it other than for the sos menu. Deleting the scripts from the save file would stop the random ctd, I can only guess it's scaling it may be something in the mod scripts that is buggy. I just don't use it and make sure it never runs any script other than load the menu for character creation.

You are using UFO, which is the least favored of the 3 big Follower management mods. EFF is the ideal way to go these days.

You are still using SafetyLoad. Its not recommended to use it along with Crash Fixes. I'd get rid of SafetyLoad.

 

I personally stopped using Dual Sheath Redux a long time ago. Less maintenance and no more XPMSEWeaponStyle errors spamming my papyrus.

Papyrus spam can lead to stack dumps which can lead to CTDs and other bad stuff.

Cheers. I didn't know about the better follower overhauls and will switch over asap. I'll also remove SafetyLoad. If the crashes remain persistent, I'll also remove DSR.

The 30th of may was two or so days ago for me; I had changed the setting between the time that that error occurred, and the time that I posted the OP.

I believe that I have more than enough CPU power to spare in a single core to allow traces to remain on. However, if these crashes are still persistent even after removing DSR, I will turn it off.

I don't know most of the mods you use but I notice you have several weather/lighting type mods going on there. You have body scale/size changers; HDT stuff; (I'm guessing) more than one kill move mod; more than one smithing overhaul mod; more than one enchanting overhaul mod; more than one magic overhaul.

 

Not saying that any particular one of these is causing your problem but they all have the potential. As a rule of thumb it is not a good idea to have two or more mods doing the same thing. Also, HDT has a reputation for causing problems, as do body shape/scale changers.

 

This might give you some insight into what is happening:

Thank you for pointing those out. I will go through and remove the conflicting mods, provided they don't do anything else I like. 'Superl3.esp' has already been removed, as it was a never properly uninstalled 'ENB'.

 

I should note that during the past four hours, after removing Safetyload and switching to EFF, I have not crashed. Hopefully, the next few days will prove that today wasn't a fluke.

A couple of points.

Keep in mind that you will not get a completely crash free Skyrim - no such beast exists.

I always give the game a few sessions to settle down after I've made changes. It's surprising how many problems go away if you ignore them long enough.

 

Have a look at the S.T.E.P guide, it's more up to date than the one you linked. Not saying it's better but it might touch something the other didn't.
