Need my enblocal.ini checked over. (Skyrim)

[Tricky]

Could someone give me a hand? Everything was running fine for months, then yesterday I decided to check out some new ENB presets. I didn't like any of the new ones, so I went back to the old one (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67548/?) which I knew would work fine. I updated ENB in the process and let it generate a new enblocal.ini, just in case there were new options, and edited all the values back from my own memory. Suddenly the game is crashing all over the place. Can't get in for more than 60 seconds before it CTDs.

I've checked over enblocal.ini a bunch of times, but I just can't spot what I did wrong. Could one of you have a look at it, please?

My Windows 10 system has 4 GB of VRAM and 16 GB of RAM, so I arbitrarily set VideoMemorySizeMb to 9000. I always used to experience crashes when setting ReservedMemorySizeMb to values lower than 512. Also vsync is always off because I have a gsync screen. I use some parallax textures on the ground and on objects, so I have all that enabled too.

Run VRamSizeTest (http://enbdev.com/download_vramsizetest.htm) and put the result into VideoMemorySizeMb (minus 100-200mb or so for other uses).

Also set ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true and EnableCompression=false.

You could also try these if the crashes persist:

DisablePreloadToVRAM=true
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false

[Tricky]

Right. Putting VideoMemorySizeMb at that recommended value minus 300 MB with ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true and EnableCompression=false makes the game crash on loading a level. I subtracted 1 GB, but it made no difference.

I've now also set ReservedMemorySizeMb to 64 instead of 512, and it seems to be not crashing instantly again - did notice an FPS drop.

So now it's at:

ReservedMemorySizeMb=64
VideoMemorySizeMb=2000


All this worked fine at totally different levels a few days ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmm, I take it that you have a lot of heavy mods installed?

Relatively speaking? There's much heavier installations out there than mine. But I probably run more than the average user.

[Tricky]

Alright, it appears to be stable enough now. I'm going to play Skyrim, ignoring all the weird settings, for a few more times and then I'll have to part with it. Enough is enough, you know? Time to move on.

Thanks for the assist Mindflux.
