I'm Having Issues with Skyrim crashing randomly and I'm not sure what's wrong

[Hassao]

I have quite a bit of mods running, and LOOT isn't giving me any issues and to my knowledge, at least from the mod pages, none of my mods conflict. My game will sometimes crash like it's not rendering things, when I use the forge and scroll down, when I try loading certain cells, and sometimes just at random. When it crashes, sometimes I can't load the previous save as well. I'll also occasionally get the "Skyrim failed to initialize render" error. This has been going on for a while, and I've even tried a complete uninstall and re-install of the game and all of my mods and that didn't seem to fix it. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Try activating crash logs, if your lucky It might give you some sort of clue.

 

Are you using NMM or Mod manager?

 

I have the same issue when trying to re install a crap ton of mods on a freshly installed skyrim. I can tell you from experience that that's a recipe for an unstable game especially on a pre-existing save. Also Keep in mind that even an unmodded skyrim is prone to bugs and crashes mostly fixed by the unofficial patches. 

 

Worst comes to worse take out your mods and reinstall one by one testing skyrim after each mod or every 4-5 mods.

and someone is supposed to find out what the problem is with that?

loot it's just to put the masters above the plugin that have them as master, it won't fix your mess

 

many have problems because their install/remove mods randomly

the save is the last esp, and it's the one that matter (that one you can't uninstall/reinstall)

if i load the save without sic, there's a warning x.esp is missing

the problem is those 10272f34 that can be in the save, and doesn't disappear if you remove sic

you remove sic, now it's enhanced blood mod 10, or helgen reborn, or a follower...

and if there's a 10272f34 with it... surprise

 

 

 

it's just loading the save with backup esps

 

after another crash (popup skyrim have stop woking, not ctd)

can coc angavund something and sprint in tgm mode without problem

with backup esp i pass the 2 corpses before that door, but entering the next zone, nope

because of that

that cell was clear with esp on the left, game can now load dwemer spectre or whatever without problem

but it still crash

maybe because i have generate fnis without deleted npc hkx with his texture (purple meshe in game) and nif (triangle in game) (t pose in game that kind of problem i think, so probably not)

maybe because i didn't delete everything from sic from the save to reload it without deleted stuff

 

whatever it is, backups are there for that (or restarting from helgen if no backup to restaure it how the save want it, or to have whatever edit you can't have without starting a new save)

If you are using a lot of mods, you could be running into the recently discovered string cap.  This can cause random crashes and saves that you can no longer load.

 

For the issue of resolving the string cap in skyrim, you will need to use http://www.loverslab.com/files/file/2551-crash-fixes/ along with the SKSE preloader they recommend and the OSallocators set to on in the ini file as per the instructions.

 

If you continue to run into games that will not load, you will need to use https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/85443/? Load game ctd fix alongside crash fixes to bypass the issue.
