As you can tell from the title, my gameplay has been far from enjoyable. But I’ve finally been able to shrink down the post.
Ever since I completed the Dragonborn and Dawnguard questlines(in this order) and been mod house hunting, I started getting these strange problems which have been stuck with me like a bad rash.
What I remember, I put something in one of my custom house’s chests, then I quit and used BOSS due to getting a lot of FPS drops.
Since then, I’ve gotten this extremely annoying (and quite scary) error. What makes it scary, is the unpredictable nature of the crash as I said. It seems to happen mostly when in interiors. So, what’s more scary than being in a dark cave during the Dawnguard questline, and suddenly Falmers? The crash popping up in my face, laughing at me. To say I’m “scared” of a crash is rather childish, I know. But this is coming from someone that went through a serious BSoD that involved spending $400 to fix on new hardware.
Oh yeah. This crash can also take on the form of a CTD with no error. Fun fun.
I have nearly tried everything, and it seems like it just doesn’t want to be fixed. What I mean by ‘nearly’, is my only option is to reinstall Windows. Groan. Plus I forgot how to do it. Can you believe that? It’s been months since I eradicated that BSoD. But… I’m wondering of the severity of this crash.
I’m wondering, and fearing.. what if what I did “burned” it to my RAM? This could explain why I can’t remove whatever’s causing it. If it is this, an OS reinstall isn’t going to work.
Yet… how is that even possible? I never heard BOSS doing this. This could be a virus that none of my scanners can pickup, and a reformat of the C would wipe it out.
And even if, say it does go away by doing this, how do I prevent it from happening again? Avoiding BOSS like the plaque is the only thing I can think of. But what if it wasn’t BOSS that did it? Even blaming BOSS for this feels… like it’s just not possible. Seriously, BOSS is nothing but a load order recommender. How, and most importantly Why, would and could do this? It never happened before!
But… it’s the only thing I got to blame. Because it was working fine until I used it.
Why wouldn’t a reinstall of Skyrim fix it? Did I forget to delete something of the last time I tried? I wiped out EVERYTHING related to the game. … I just don’t get it!
