Skyrim crashes on loading screen (no loading order Problem)
Ive played Skyrim for around a year now with around 40 mods installed, first from workshop but since a long time only from nexus. I hadn't played the game in a while and wanted to play it again. When i start it up it works until i load a game then it crashes after a few seconds without error message. I tried

*Deactivating all Mods
*starting a new game
*Tes5 Edit Troubleshooting
*Changig something in the .ini file (undone now)

none of them worked im out of options, please help

Do you meant that save file crashes, when you are trying to load it? Is it possible that your file is just getting chocked up from failing to load all scripts in it?

Try to load a save game that works (if you have any) and preload scripts from it. Once that is done, the you may load the crashing save and play, save and load normally during the session.

Few things to try.

Memory fix will aid you with crashing or load. It can't fix the problem with plenty of scripts loading at once, but it fill fix all problems related to memory bugs causing the similar issue.

If you suspect that you have broken or orpaned scripts, or bloated save, backup your save file an use this tool. Instructions can be found from the description page.

If you experience persistent bloating or crashing, then make sure that you do not files marked dangerous or outdated. Nazenn just made a thread for that.

Edit: Also make sure that this indeed is NOT a load order or priority issue. There are few things that LOOT does not yet place properly, or that are not obvious in priority.

Try this first, in case that your master files are just damaged.

- Exit Steam.
- Go to Steam folder and remove folder named appcache

- Go to Documents > My Games > Skyrim.
- Remove files Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini.
- If you have included tweaks for mods, then save the files, in case you need to redo some tweaks. Leave all possible memory and Papyrus tweaks out of them.

- Close your computer. Let it actually shut down, so it will reset all hooks. Then start it again.
- Start Steam. It will now load a few seconds, while creating a new appcache folder for you.

- Steam client Library view, right click the game.
- Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache...

- Run the default launcher once and let the game configure. This will create new Skyrim.ini for you.
- Run the game once. This will create new SkyrimPrefs.ini for you.

* 1 file will always fail to validate. It is related to how Steam detects your graphic card configurations and does not have any negative effect to your game.

I think i have the problem now:

could it be that i need a newer skse version I have 1.7.1 installed but on the SKSE website there is 1.7.2 and 1.7.3 available for download. Could that save the problem?
Ilja Jul 15, 2015 @ 6:37am 
Very likely. I am using SKSE 1.7.3 and many mods have already moved to that, or at least to SKSE 1.7.2. I consider 1.7.3. stable and have not experienced any problems with it so far. Some of my mods require that, so modders seem to be happy with it as well.

Im upgrading now if this doesnt work ill just do the restart option you suggestd
Maxwell1140077 Jul 15, 2015 @ 7:12am 
none of the two worked. any other solutions? Or should i just reinstall the game? and how exactly should i do it if i have to

Did anyone here ever find a solution to this?

Any solution to this found? Having the same problem :(

I have seen this several times, its very weird as I can load six times and 5 of those times it crashes, nothing changes and the 6th time it loads no problem. I am still investigating this , and so far I have not found a definitive solution. I have a massive load order, and loot detects no issues, and MO2 detects no master file issues. its weirder as I have dozens of saves of that load no problem once it gets past its crashing fit.
