Skyrim freeze or crash to desktop

[Guest xMeeko]

Hello all,

 

I need a bit help.. My Skyrim freeze or crash to desktop and i don't know why. It crashes when I'm exterior but not in any environment. Currently it always crashes when run from Solitude to Kilkreath (Meridia's beacon). Or if I run from Kynesgrove to Windhelm. I've reinstalled my game and follow the installation instructions of all mods. Maybe anyone can help me? Sorry for my english.

 

My system:

 

CPU: Intel Xeon E3 1230 v3

GPU: R9 280x

Ram: 8 GB DDR3 1600mhz

 

I use Serenity ENB

i had that problem when i installed some parallax texture mods that modfied meshes in the windhelm + dragonbridge cells... it could also be some meshes edited by SMIM that got nerfed.

 

when i had the same problem i located the meshes, made a backup and then deleted them, which fixed the crash in the exterior cell around windhelm, which is known to be a heavy cell with lots of animated features, waterfalls, bridges...etc.

 

for me the meshes were in the meshes/architecture/windhelm directory, but your's may differ.

Thank's for you reply.

 

Solitude makes no problems only when I run to the mountain Kilkreath and just before Meridias temple it crashes and Dragonbridge is much farther away so I don't know which files I need to delete..

 

Maybe I should remove SMIM?

hey there, no worries i'll try to help you out.

 

from kilkreath to dragonbridge is the same cell, 

 

if you're running from solitude to kilkreath or from kynesgrove to windhelm and the game just crashes without warning and it does it every single time then broken meshes are only explanation, if it happens once every so often then it might be a video ram problem.

 

try windhelm first, since its the more common bug of the two.

 

don't remove SMIM just yet...

 

take a look in your steam/steamapps/common/skyrim/data/meshes/architecture directory, let me know if you see a windhelm or dragonbridge directory.

 

again, i've had this problem myself and i sorted it out.
