I find it hard to believe STEP peoples haven't noticed it as well. I mean, I've been into modding Skyrim since December 2011 and have noticed this stuff despite being fairly oblivious in nature. Maybe they consider this 3.1 GB VRAM limit one of those 'funny bugs that should be left in the game.' Maybe they'll do a 2-year aniversary patch or something in November though (hahahaha that was a good joke wasn't it?).

It's not just the 3.1 GB VRAM limit, it's a whole bunch of other things (most likely linked to that).Īt this point it's likely up to the USKP series team to fix because I highly doubt Bethesda will be touching Skyrim again anytime soon. Which kinda makes sense to me because I've used ASIS (and PISE before it) for the longest and didn't experience anywhere near this amount of CTDs/Freezes until after 1.9 came out. They mentioned that these issues are actually recent as of patch 1.9. I was reading something a few modders (Arthmoor and some others) were talking about the other day. However this is a discussion for another section, I'd move it somewhere else if I could. In the case of the game what gives is the game engine which causes either a freeze or a crash. but only for a certain amount of time, something has to give. Sure I'm sure it's within the realm of possibility. The increased strain on the engine in these instances is like having a runner run a marathon at top speed while juggling (they aren't capable of dropping anything) with one hand while say texting on a cell phone. Once the engine has loaded the extra spawns then whatever mods you have installed (mainly scripted mods) apply themselves not only to the normal amount of spawns from the vanilla game (which is most likely the environment the mod was tested in) but also whatever extra spawns and/or new creature types you have from whatever mods you have installed. The spawn mods add more content that the engine has to load. hoping we can figure out how to get them to work without crashing the game.ĭo you know why spawn mods are prone to crashing the game?Well for much the same reason that having increased uGridsToLoad values with a large mod list does. I have to turn off spawn mods and turn back on due to crashing. Its for people who have already played through the game.
