[SKYRIM] Fresh install - getting loading screen of death! o_o;

[FastestDogInTheDistrict]

I just wiped & reinstalled my Skyrim (this. took. me. ages. UGH!!!!!!) so I can re-start my mod-making. I cut out a lot of crap & many big texture mods - I went with a very stripped-back STEP install, focusing mainly on the bug fixes & gameplay enhancements, but I've also picked up a few immersion mods I haven't tried before or which are relatively new. I kept texture overhauls simple & minimal. My ENB is Fimbulvinter, an older (but awesome) v121212 release which is not to much of a strain. Graphics drivers are up-to-date.

 

The game plays... in some areas. Dragonsreach, Morthal swamps, one or two outdoor locations... frames generally between 30 & 60... sometimes a downward spike to around the mid-20's, but always good & playable.

 

I am getting EXTREMELY long loading times, and in some cases some areas just WON'T load at all... just a loading screen... memory spikes up around 2million. Should I run the optimiser on my textures? It's been a LONG time since I've done any of this process...

 

"Optimizer Textures" tool I have generally used in the past.

 

 

 

Load order. This has been sorted with LOOT, as per Gopher's tutorial:

*If I disable FOV in the enbseries.ini to get out of Dragonsreach, the problem disappears, and I can re-enable it once I'm outside... things seem to settle down a bit then, but FOV has never been that much of a strain on my graphics before - certainly not with this ENB.  Nope, still crashing.

 

 

I also apparently have some kinda bug where, even if I add arrows & bolts, quiver & bolt pouch, they do not appear in my inventory using search, and I cannot seem to equip them??? Okay, THIS part I think I fixed...junked "Manual Crossbow Reload" and "SM Drop Lit Torches" (I do not find frustration to be immersive).

 

... I ALSO (ugh) frequently get double cursors even though I have the double cursor fix installed??

 

 

EDIT:

 

Skyrim ini's - UPDATED.rar

 

*I updated the .ini's, but Papyrus logs are still not generating. This thing is a crash-festival, I can't even finish the new-game-entry-line & leave Helgen...

[FastestDogInTheDistrict]

...please?

[FastestDogInTheDistrict]

Okay - I think I found the logs. I may be going insane, but they're now in a different location to where they used to be the last time I had to go find these? Maybe? The old ones were in my Skyrim\Logs folder. These were at ...\Documents\my games\Skyrim\Logs\Script...

 

PAPYRUS Script Logs.rar

 

 

I have no idea how to read these in any helpful way, really.

 

 - I also temporarily re-named my edited Skyrim.ini & SkyrimPrefs.ini & used the Vanilla launcher to generate new ones, then tried the game with those. It seemed a LOT more stable & the load-screens problem seemed to vanish. Problem is, I don't know WHY exactly...

 

 - I also made an SKSE.ini, which it turned out I did not have (weird), as per this helpful post sourced from the Google machine.

 

I have at least been able to take a few screens... I have not tried a new game again, but will sometime later tonight...

[FastestDogInTheDistrict]

*bump* still hoping I might be able to get a little feedback on this if anyone is able...

Sad no one answered your issue !

 

Well, I have the same FPS drop on some areas, I get 30-40 most places, but some places it drops down to 21-23 (hate this )

 

And loading times, the first load takes upto 10-20 seconds ish, but after that it's 3-5 seconds (no SSD, just HDD)

 

And some times it just shows a loading screen, but never loades the area,

then I find my game is crashed, this is very very rare, 1 in a 40 times or more.

 

If you think it'll be helpful, I say run texture optimizer, and let's see what that does...

[Crooltool]

the SKSE.ini file should help with the infinite loading screens, also a mod called Safety Load http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/46465/? if you still have loading screen issues. Maybe up the top number in skse.ini from 512 to 768 <no higher tho>

 

<edit> also notice you have no bash patch, or merge patch in your load order.... without those, expect much unstability..

What's your VRAM amount ? 2GB ?
