Is my Skyrim memory patch working?

[gooboo]

My game has started crashing a lot recently, and I thought I had solved the problem by installing the SSME patch. For a time it seemed to fix many of my crashing problems. I was looking at the memory blocks log and I noticed both columns have 256mb at the top. Is it supposed to say that? I thought I had switched the first block to 512mb some time ago. 

 

I tried installing the most recent SKSE, but that hasn't helped any. Here is what the memory log says-

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, it's not. Your blocks are 256/256.

[gooboo]

That's what I figured, but why isn't it working now? I thought the most recent SKSE had the memory patch built into it. What do I need to change to get it to work?

[Rayblue]

SKSE 1.7.1 no longer requires SSME in that it now integrates Sheson's fix.

 

You must check if you have skse.ini and edit accordingly:

 

[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=512
ScrapHeapSizeMB=256

 

data/skse/skse.ini

[gooboo]

Okay, I didn't see any SKSE.ini in my folder, so I downloaded one and edited i accordingly, but after playing my game and crashing it a few times, the memory log still says 256mb in both columns. I'm totally lost. 

[gooboo]

Okay I found the problem I had accidentally deleted the d3dx9_42 file, and the patch wasn't working anymore. It says 512 mb in the left column now. Derp.

Fyi dont use SSME with SKSE rigged to do the same thing it will cause issues.

Read closely, and you have to remove SSME and associated files according to instructions.

512 gives a value of 256, setting the value to 768 gives a value of 512, unless the SKSE code has been changed since 1-7 was a Beta.

 

Using ENBoost, which is just using the enblocal.ini with the tweaks to remove V-Ram from counting against the 3.1 Gb limit Skyrim has can also greatly help with ILS and CTD problems.
