just started a new game, installed according to gamerpoets guide playing with just 7 mods, and no retextures, + using ENB so yeah pretty much a clean install the gameitself seems to be performing quite well, no stutters no huge slowdows, all seems smooth I only seem to crash wen i make a quicksave or hardsave, and its always the same kind of crash, screenfreezes for a few seconds, than goes to windows then amd pannel complains the driver crashed. i hae tried ruining with NVSE or just NV and its the same. Im playing on a Amd r9 390x, maybe my third playthru of newvegas w this card and seems to be first time this happens i Remember in fallout3 some ppl use a different d3 .dll that made the game run better... do i "need" todo this in newvegas too? maybe newvegas ENB has issues with amd cards? wondering if anyone came across this issue. thnks

I used to love playing Skyrim, but I had only ever played it on the XBox 360. When I saw the awesome things one could do with mods, I decided I wanted to buy Skyrim on Steam and play it on my laptop. My husband bought it for me for Christmas and me, completely inexperienced with modding and the problems that occur, starting adding mods. Long story short, I now know how to update things, I now use LOOT and GenerateFNIS every time I add/remove/update mods, etc. Still, I am not very tech savvy and there are plenty of things I am not familiar with/don't understand. But there's one problem that has angered me to no end, with no solution in sight. Quite a while ago (not sure how long, or what exactly may have started this) I began having a problem where, after playing the game for so long (usually I'd be at least level 30), I'd go to save and immediately upon clicking "save" my game would crash to desktop. I could not figure out how to fix the problem and would lose characters that I had put a lot of time and effort into (especially since I take great care customizing the appearance and trying to roleplay as much as possible). Once, someone suggested that it was something called "save bloat" causing the problems, even though the Unofficial Skyrim patch is supposed prevent this. The aforementioned person suggested going into Skyrim, opening up the save menu, alt+tabbing out, going into the Skyrim Saves folder, and moving all saves to another folder so that the game would no longer recognize those saves and I could make a brand new save 1. This kinda works. Most of the time, I can get one or two saves in before the problem happens again. So I'm still at a loss. Once I made sure to get rid of any mods that didn't come from Nexus, made sure all my mods were updated, and ran GenerateFNIS and LOOT, as well as removing some mods I wasn't dying to have, things seemed to get better. One person suggested getting the Alternate Start Live Another Life mod, which I did. One person suggested using TES5Edit, but others have said not to because it can seriously screw things up. So I haven't used it. I believe I downloaded it, but I couldn't figure out how to use it anyway. Anyway, for quite some time now, the problem hasn't happened. I was still getting crashes to desktop fairly often, but not on saves and I would usually be fine upon restarting. However, the other day, after updating the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch (or USLEEP), the very next time I tried to save the problem happened again. I should note that I did not make any mod changes while the game was running and I made sure to run LOOT an GenerateFNIS after updating AND checked to make sure the load order was as the modder suggested it should be. Everything appeared to be in order. Upon going into the Skyrim>Saves folder I discovered that there was indeed a file for the save I tried to make, but instead of saving as an .ess or an .skse file, the stupid thing was a .tmp file. I have not tried changing it to another kind of file, as I do not know how, but I've read in various other threads that doing so only causes MORE problems. Whether or not USLEEP is the cause, I am unsure. Another thing I should mention is that I don't have any special houses like Elisdriel or Proudspire Manor or anything like that. All I know is the problem seemed to have stopped, then upon updating USLEEP it started again. It should also be mentioned that, when I received the Skyrim Special Edition for free (due to already having regular Skyrim) it would not play at all. It just will not work with or without mods. But that's a small matter compared to the faulty saves. I am beyond livid at this point. Nobody has apparently offered a real solution to the problem and I know I'm not the only one who is at the point of not wanting to play the game anymore due to not being able to save. Beginning to wonder how Bethesda isn't losing money since their game is so full of bugs. You can't play a game like Skyrim and NOT save. Also, per suggestion, I disabled all forms of autosave. I. Want. A. Solution. I'm sick and tired of this problem being ignored. Someone needs to be a professional and do something to fix the problem. I'm tired of trying to be patient and nice about this. This has gone beyond ridiculous.

So i was making my mod and after some navmeshing i clicked 'save' and it crashed. I was convinced it had something to do with navmeshing, but i was wrong. There were 2 things i found that could make it crash on save: 1. Having a new music track assigned to a place or action WITHOUT A MUSIC FILE SELECTED (it de-selects the file each time you save, so you have to do it every time) 2. Having a magic effect without any actual magic effect, like an empty entry. Not sure if this helps you, but when i deleted the music track from the list and the effectless magic, it got fixed.

Hi everyone, I'm making an update to my crafting mod. However, for some reason, it's crashing every time I try to save my .esp. It saves fine with other .esps, just not the one I actually want to edit. What's going on that causes the GECK to crash when I save that specific .esp? How do I solve/work around this problem? You can find my WIP .esp in the attached archive, if that helps. EDIT: If you download it, let me know if saving crashes the GECK for you. If it does, it might have something to do with the file.

I already know all about the "kill yourself and make the game reload" thing and whatnot, and that will work for a time, but after playing for more than five minutes I'm crashing while trying to save about 2/3 of the time. It's making me crazy and nothing I do helps. Even using something like CASM and Extended Save Manager causes crashes. I'm not using any autosaves.

Hi, I've been playing on a character since 2015. I have not changed my load order, or updated any mods or ENB since starting and now I'm experiencing problems. The game runs fine, allows me to load, but if I try saving I will crash. If I load a save many hours back I can play for a while but then the problem will occur again. I can even play for a long time without saving without crashing which makes me think the issue is with saving itself. Don't even have to have played for a long time for it to occur, can be 2 seconds. Load a save that worked and you will crash 100% of the time you save again. Looking up the save in wrye bash and applying remove bloat I get this error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "bash\balt.pyo", line 2495, in __Execute File "bash\basher\saves_links.pyo", line 791, in Execute File "bash\bosh\_saves.pyo", line 417, in loadMemoryError Now I do have a lot of play time in this save. Day 727, Play 239 hours. I know that sounds like a lot but I have been playing on this character since 2015 so please don't judge too harshly :sweat: Has anyone experienced this issue before and found a work around or a fix? I'd greatly appreciate it. Would really suck having to start over. Plugin list: Is there perhaps a way to enable a crash log? :)

Hi, i have no idea if thats correct place where to put this but well i tried everything, and nothing worked. Basically my problem is.. My SKSE is for literally no reason crashing skyrim because of " Visual Library Runtime Error" i read literally TONS of guides how to fix that visual library thing but i gave up on it, i wanted to delete Sky UI mod (requires SKSE which im not gonna use ever again) BUT when i delete SkyUI (2 files from "/blah blah/skyrim/data") the game works everything fine inventory is vanilla, but when i try to SAVE in any way (quicksave, Save, havent tried auto save but i suppose its same) my game crashes, NO crash report, not anything just simply crashes thats it, it wont even save, so i was just wondering if anyone have ANY idea what im for gods sake doing wrong ? im stuck on this problem for so long, any help would be more than appreciated (basically what im asking for is how to get rid of SkyUI, manualy, because i dont really use NMM) im playing on PC im sure there are no problems with my graphic card, i have Nvidia GTX 550 Ti dual core processor intel no idea what else i could say, 16GB ram / for the visual library error, i tried reinstalling,repairing, deleting, updating VCRedist i tried EVERYTHING nothing is working so i just wanna to it simple way and get rid of skse and SkyUI i can live without it also sorry for my english blah blah its not my main language I would be thanfull for any help

I have dealt with CTD on Saving before, last time it was because of couple of bad mods. Now however, it seems to be a bit weirder. It doesn't crash always when saving. The game seems to CTD when I save inside a dungeon, after a certain period of game play, from my yesterday's save. At first I thought it had something to do with mining, since it happened in the mines. But now I tried to do a quest in Falskaar, and it CTD as I tried to save the game. (mind you I have over 300 separate save files for this character, but I have heard this would not have an effect.) LOOT gives me no major messages, xEdit isn't telling me about any problems, I have plenty of hard drive space, so I have no idea what is going on. I have attached my mod load order. I did not have this problem yesterday, but the mods I installed yesterday were Bruma, Forgotten city, Falskaar, Falskaar Bruma compatibility patch, Fossil mining, Bad Gremlins collectibles, Amulets of Skyrim, Artifacts of Boethia, Wheels of Lull and a few patches for it, Forgotten City and Bruma, Thane Weapons, QUASIPC, and Aetherium Armor and Weapons compilation. So I guess one of those could be the culprit, but uninstalling some of them can be problematic, plus LOOT isn't detecting any problems (aside from telling that QUASIPC is missing).
