every time i play i crash its so frustrating, i had to delete my 20 hour save

[Røvakes]

every time i play i crash, sometimes instantly, sometimes after 30 min, ive changed pagefile to 32gb, restored corrupted files, ran the game as administrator, uninstalled and reinstalled, its not my hardware (7900gre, ryzen 7 7700x, 32gb ram) i dont know what else to do to prevent crashing.

throw a crash log on here, bet you have stuff like bitdefender, windows defender, antivirus, win11+one drive, stuff installed in program files, etc causing it. all new games crash for people who aren't competent enough to maintain their pc environment, if you don't have total control then some other program does. consoles are for people like that, you just plug and play, PC gaming is superior for sure, but it doesn't mean you will have a better time on it as someone who wants to just plug and play.

I had to buy a new monitor as in last years model because of ghosting, low frame rates and when I go over explorer notes the note pop up would freeze my screen and give me a fatal error message. 95 percent of crashes are gone. It only happens rarely now, usually due to defender running a scan

yeah i had to poke around my pc when i was trying to stop stuttering in another game, and i did manage to fix it but yeah you really need to take care of a computer lol

you have 61 mods and are running out of memory so it crashes. either reduce things in your PC's background from using up memory you do NOT have to spare or it will keep crashing

the bare minimum for modern games at 1080p is 8gb VRAM, 32gb RAM, a good CPU from the last 3 years and a healthy PC environment where unnecessary crap isn't running and competing for resources. i have nothing to spare really, but i do have enough if i keep my environment under control. PC gaming is complicated when you push your PC like new games are doing.

thanks for the help, ill try tweaking my settings and removing unnecessary mods

[CrEaToXx]

You're just using way too much mods for your specs. Those tiny amounts of memory consumption by background programs don't really matter. Your choice and quantity of mods does. Reduce the number, and try removing mods bit by bit. Even with only 32 gigs your game shouldn't crash because memory runs out. I suspect one of the mods you are using is causing the issue. Dino Finder and the Predator mode on Super Spyglass are well known to cause frame drops and stuttering in certain areas, if you don't have a badass computer.

[KornKron]

I have zero mods and I can't remember the last time the game crashed. You have 61 mods and crash all the time. I think you've solved your own problem.

The amount of mods is most likely not an issue, as you can ran a lot more than that together.

There are a few things with ASA Mods that can cause issues:
- Mods conflicting due to doing similar things or being based on same open source code.
- Mods that have not been updated for a while and broke due to a patch.

Additionally you are running on Single Player, which is more demanding, runs worse and is just more prone to crashing than when running a Server seperately.
I also recommend trying to not use any Upscaling Tech and possible disable Fluid & Foliage Interaction, as those were my main 2 problems, tho that last one might be fixed now.
