[Erebea]

Violens has an option to make the player immune to kill moves, I believe it is unchecked by default. Checking it should prevent the CTD from being decapitated.

 

The MCM option is on the melee & ranged tab as Player killmove immunity.

[Zerosleepless]

Yaaasss!!! that'll definetly fix it , thank you so much.

[Erebea]

You're welcome!

[bjornk]

It's probably RaceMenu, or nioverride.dll more specifically. Try setting the 'bEnableFaceOverlays' value to '0' in nioverride.ini. Doing that should stop CTDs involving PC decapitation, won't do anything for CTDs involving NPC decapitation though.

[Erebea]

The Race menu decapitation CTD was fixed in version 2.7.0, so as long as your version of race menu is 2.7.0 or newer, ideally the most recent version, nobody needs to alter any nioverride.ini settings.

I have racemenu 3.2.2 , i think that's the latest one although i saw a beta in here....

The fix that Erebea gave me did work for my character but still the game crashes when i try decapitating any npc.

I tried uninstalling Violens but to no avail .

Does changing bEnableFaceOverlays to 0 actually disable overlays like tattoos and freckles ?

[Erebea]

If you are still getting a CTD when decapitating NPCs, there is something going on possibly with one of the other mods. I also use Violens and can decapitate NPCs without a CTD. As a temporary measure I'd recommend that you disable decapitations entirely in violens to avoid further CTDs, and see if anyone else can provide some assistance.

 

Regarding bEnableFaceOverlays and setting it to zero, you are right doing that will disable tattoos/war paints/freckles etc. Which may help in the short term.

 

My only other suggestion at this point would be to move violens to the end of your load order and see if that helps any, not that I expect it too.

I think i'll do like you suggested and disable decapitations entirely , i care more about my character's pretty freckles than decapitations lol  

Thank you so much for your assistance , i didn't even know disabling them was even possible.
