What is the difference between crashing and freezing

This was also the reason I moved the other Solstheim one, since it was just too specific an issue, hence I did not feel it belonged up there with the sticked posts!

In my little vision for the support threads, then we will consolidate the general stuff we know into sticky threads, and that will hopefully make sure that the amount of repetition will not be as large. Yeah, I intended for this thread to be a general information and guideline. I only used mod-specific examples to better demonstrate and differentiate between types of issues. I like your vision of general informative threads that educate users rather than hand guide them.

Hi all. I'm sorry if this is the wrong post for this, and especially sorry for opening up an old post however, I felt like this would be the appropiate one for my problem. I suffer several freezes and infinite loading screens at random.

I can have about a hour and a half play and then crash while fast traveling. Rarely between buildings. When starting new games I play for a little see if mods are working and then I like to spawn 9 dragons at once just to see if everything is okay. I was told this is a good way to see if I would have any vram issues. So long story short, the game was fine, I've done this several times and it would freeze in different locations. First, it was solitude at the beginning took off cloaks of skyrim then worked.

Then after a few game hours whiterun would freeze. Then after new game dragonreach would experience it but solitude would be fine. So, 1. Any mod I have that are known to be not compatible and 3. Any recommended mods or solutions. I should add that I read every single read me file and I know I've read each one and there should be no compatibility issues.

I also dont experience any lag at all. As we're unable to move threads and posts around for technical reasons, and only until some thread naming related issues will be resolved - please repost this as a new thread in General Support forums. Thanks and sorry for inonvenience. I have a question regarding the Infinite Loading Screen.

What is a reasonable amount of time to wait until you declare that you've hit an ILS? There's obviously no indication that such has occurred, but there's been a number of times where I've sat at the Loading Screen, and just waited. While I haven't timed exactly how long it has sat at the Loading Screen, in almost every case where I may be faced with a potential ILS , it has eventually loaded for me, I just needed to be patient.

It depends on your hardware and you game installation. Mine are upwards of one to two minutes because I pushed it to the limit on fairly outdated hardware. The way I tell is by use MSI afterburner and connect it to my phone. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community.
