Corrupted Saves PEASE HELP

[cailic]

I'm about ready to give up.  I keep getting corrupted saves.  The type that crashes Savetool.  I just updated a whole lotta mods and tried out a few new ones.  I've been messing with it for days.  I thought I uninstalled all the questionable mods but still I get corrupted saves.  I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but something likes to prevent me from opening my inventory/spells/level info from time to time.  I have keep hitting the key until it finally opens.  I think I've uninstalled all the new mods, so perhaps there is old one that is incompatible with the new updates?

I hope somebody can give me a clue.  It's tedious starting a new game with all the MCM settings.

If the save can't be opened in the save tool then you probably passed the save memory limit and your save file is toast, sorry. Install Crash Fixes (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72725/?tab=description) and use the alternate save format to prevent this issue for future saves.

The delay when accessing your inventory is probably caused by hair or tattoos updating, which the "Immersive Hair Growth and Styling" (yps-ImmersivePiercing.esp) mod triggers quite frequently.

Thanks for replying.

 

Are you talking about bloating?  I won't be in front of my desktop till monday, so I cann't look at my files, but the last two times I got corrupted saves was right after completing the MCM settups.  And, It doesn't happen all the time, just most of the time.  Such as I made three saves in Riverrun Trader.  The second one would still load, but the first and third were corrupted.  I didn't move my character, only the angle of the camera (probably has nothing to do with it).  If it were a bloat issue, the save file would only get larger and every save would be corrupted.... wouldn't they? 

 

And I've had the crash fixes you pointed to already installed. 

 

The immersive Hair Growth I only just re-installed.  The issue with accessing inventory has been happening for a few weeks.  Also, strange that the tats applied by Rape tats, 99% of the time appear and then vanish.  That has been happening a bit longer, but I've had that mod installed since it was last updated.  Didn't use to have problems.

 

I am currently looking for the alternate save format you mentioned.  So far not seeing it.

[Guest]

The setting to change the save format is "StringCount32=1" on line 246 in Data/SKSE/Plugins/CrashFixPlugin.ini
For saves that use the alternate format you also need to use this save tool: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/76776/. The other ones, that I know of, don't support the alternate format.

The save issue is not about the size in total but about how many "strings" are stored. The actual file on disk doesn't have to be that large.
This forum post has a lot more info on the issue: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/3924850-corrupt-saves-strcount-0xffff-ctd-on-load/

Hey, this is great.  Thanks for you help.  Don't know if it will fix the issue, but what you have provided is.... well... it's Wonderful!  I could search all week and never find this info.  Yes, I'm a bit exited as this aspect of the game I haven't seen mentioned before.  I could possibly learn something new.  Ya, I know... I'm weird. 

 

Thank you so much for this.

The problem is more likely to be down to your choice of mods rather than a setting in CrashFix. I've used CrashFix for years without having to do anything with it. On the other hand I've never heard of half of your mods.

umm.. "StringCount32=1" was already set.  So..... how was able to open the saves with Savetool if I this makes the saves a different format? 

 

Forgive me if I seem daft.  I'm frustrated as hell cause Skyrim on my laptop just started doing the same thing with the corrupted saves, plus it keeps stuttering now, when it used to run smooth.  It's getting hard to focus.

 

Ok, So I cleaned the last good save.  Set StringCount32=0, since it was already set to 1.  Loaded the cleaned save, ran outside, made a new save. Tried cleaning it..... already corrupted.  On the bright side, Skyrim didn't stutter after cleaning the first save. 

 

So, it seems that I've done this last year.  One year ago this month was when the files were modified.  I don't remember doing it, but it was done.  I guess, when I get home, I'm going to do a re-install (fills me with warm, fluffy feelings).  Hmm... that actually sounds disgusting.  Anyway, thanks for your help.  If you can think of anything else, please, let me know.

Not all save tools can read the adjusted save types that crash fixes creates.  Doesn't mean the save is corrupt.  Try ReSaver, which is able to read the new format.

[Uncle64]

And people should stop using SaveTool it is not compatible whit many of the new modern mods that creates temp scripts.

Use FallRimTools instead.

And it works whit Crashfixes. If you already have saved in the error in your save you cant fix it, it is impossible.

You need to rollback saves from one place you did not have the issue, and remove some of your animations.

Tell SL to suppress animations so you can save animation slots.

"StringCount32=1" is already set, try opening the save using the FallrimmTool program. Maybe your issue has to do with something else after all.
I'd also try loading an even earlier save if you have one.

The FallrimmTool says the save is beyond hope.  It looks like I've done all that I can about the string count, according to what I have read.   That, apparently, I did a year ago.  So the issue is somewhere else.

I did not know that about SaveTool.  Last I remember reading, it was about the best one out there.  But I'll use FallRimTools from now on.

I am thinking that perhaps I loaded too many animations.  I believe it all started when I loaded some animations.  It must have took a little while to corrupt the saves or I should have noticed sooner.  Then after I loaded BakoFactory Animations, my saves were corrupt almost immediately after starting a new game.  It is really hard to say since I updated A LOT of mods in the middle of a game as well as adding some animations.  But I'm getting "the feel" that it has to do with the animations.  I'm thinking it must be the animations themselves since I don't load a whole lot of them.  Ok, maybe I do have alot.  412 Creature and 135 human animations. 

 

Also, I am wondering if Sexlab "import settings" could have anything to do with it.  I saved the settings awhile, after selecting what animations should run.  Lately, I've been loading a lot less of the animations there were apart of the saved Sexlab setup settings.  That doesn't sound right.  I don't know. 

 

I'm heading back home, to my desktop today and I'm going to replace my Skyrim with a backup from when it was running fairly well.  Then I'll update all the mods.  Then see what happens when I start loading animations. 

 

Thank you all for your help.  I'll let you know how it goes.
