Here's Some Help For Crashing, CEDs..And it Doss WORK!

[Tom21]

From ~Ayhay123:

 

What this does is take some space from your hard drive and make Windows use it as though it were RAM.


This allows you to play Skyrim for a long time without having to quit after 5-10 mins of playing due to lag. This is generally for people with High-Resolution texture packs, because these really large textures fill up Skyrims RAM and cache REALLY fast!


1. Open start menu, and right click My Computer, click Properties

2. From the top left select Advanced System Settings

3. You should be at the Advanced page. Under Performance click Settings

4. In this new window, select the Advanced page

5. Under Virtual Memory, select Change

6. There should be a check beside "Automatically Manage Paging File Size...." , so uncheck that and select the drive on which your Skyrim is installed (Commonly C: drive)

7. Select Custom Size, and the numbers you place in the two boxes are dependent on how much available space you have on your hardrive.  [i have a lot of free space so i put 10000mb initial and 10000mb maximum]

 

polluxval is Right Use the Same: "always put maximum allowed memory exactly the same as minimum allowed"

8. Click Set. Click OK on all the windows.

9. Restart your computer and enjoy long hours on Skyrim, without having to restart the game every 5-10 minutes.

 

And This DOSS WORK!!! At first my game was Crashing whin when riding a horse, Character creation crashes, Crashing at fast travel, CTD when going from interior to exterior...Ea...Ea...Ea...This wold happend like Every 5-10 minutes Then i Did This Fix And My Game NEVER Crashis!!!!!

Technically, that would be correct. However, the Skyrim engine is pretty shit at garbage collection so it'll hold it until you quit which forces it to wipe and dump. Hence the problem. By doing what you're suggesting, you're actually delaying it since you have a larger temporary cache. So eventually, you will notice a crash despite it being longer than before.

 

Also, I would suggest manually adjusting the image qualities since Skyrim tends to have problems with drivers not applying the AA/AF properly.

[polluxval]

always put maximum allowed memory exactly the same as minimum allowed. example:

 

10000mb min

10000mb max

 

this will help you to avoid fragmented memory and you will get better results.

Vram should be 1.5 times your available memory iirc.

 

I do the same as polluxval, I set min and max vram at the same number.

Many thanks. Never thought to do this, as I used to only game on console. Are there any compatibility/bug issues with the hi res, or did they revamp the entire texture set? I'd like to see that displayed on my TV but was hesitant because of the complaints of space it took up..

I found this:

Which seems quite useful/interesting.

 

Although I was looking for the memory codes for Skyrim.ini,

Thanks FantasyDivine! This is a Great Guide!!

It's better to allocate your pagefile on the different physical drive.

Vram should be 1.5 times your available memory iirc.

That's olds. If you have a lot of ram(not that hard this days) you don't need that much VRAM.

Also, i've got 24Gb's of ram, and my system is on a SSD, so, to extend that SSD's life and further increase performance i set up Primo Ramdisk and made a 8Gb ramdrive for the pagefile.

Runs... fine. xD

The swap file adjustment trick was good back in those XP days, but with gaming rigs set up to use more than 4gb of memory (DDR3 is very cheap now), and even equipped with SSD drives, the tip seems redundant to do (and since Win7 I no longer use that trick).

does this increases FPS too cause im using laptop also im using TS its drops a lots of fps my current fps is 10

[aljustineg]

thanks you im currently using TS im not planning on using  reduce vanilla texture since it will just only make me bored to play skyrim your tips on help on crashing  CEDs really increase my FPS to 10-20 really nice guide i think this guide should be pinned

I thought that Skyrim engines suffers from the memory leak issue,that is whatever amount of RAM having on your rig(bigger than 4 Gigs),Skyrim eventually with begin to lag,freeze or sgenerally start to statter because it can't use the extra ram your rig has (especially if some one uses HD texts,ENB's or generally RAM consuming mods/software).There is this (on the other side)http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/32363 which is supposed to adress this issue by 'cleaning' the engines RAM useage

[aljustineg]

the perfomance tweaks works  but the skyrim configurator messed up my save now im going to unisntall it
