Bethesda games seem to like locking up on me

[kurisu7885]

Seriously, this is a problem I notice with only Skyrim and New Vegas, after playing for a while, at times not for very long, the game just straight up locks up, and if I'm running the game full screen, well, I can't downsize to close the game, so I'm forced to hit the reset button on my tower.

 

I do run mods, lots of them, and I'm praying that this isn't a memory issue, and it shouldn't be as I have 16 gigs of RAM in this rig, a graphics card thing, possibly, as I could stand to upgrade it.

Try increasing iNumHWThreads = xx to the number of your cpu cores (2,4,8) and set bUseThreadAI to 1 in the respective .ini files (fallout.ini for Fallout 3; fallout.ini and fallout_default.ini in FNV). If one or both of them aren't there you can add them to the [general] section in your .ini. I had the same problem in Fallout 3 and FNV, but this tweak made the freezing stop forever. Not sure if this is still valid for Skyrim, but then again I never had freezing problems in it.

SO, having an 8 core processor I can make those modifications to fully utilize it. Well, I did make some INI tweaks already to use a skin.

[kurisu7885]

Ok, I don't see iNumHWThreads =

 

so I just add it anywhere to the list in general?

[BruceWayne]

Yes. That's why I said "If one or both of them aren't there you can add them to the [general] section in your .ini"...

When skyrim fucks up my screen and I can't alt tab I press Win button, up, up, enter, enter and that switches the user without logging off, I log back in fast and close skyrim.

 

Or you could use Super Alt-F4 FOR WORLD PEACE!!!

ALT F4, goddammit, that's so basic and I forgot it.

Well, I had HOPED that gettign rid of Skyrim Flora Overhaul would help it, but, no such luck, I still got a lockup.

did you try to reset your file.ini to default(and do your reconfiguration again)         i think you have something wrong in the screen size   or   some full screen check on

Try to run Memtest86 or VMST ( http://mikelab.kiev.ua/index_en.php?page=PROGRAMS/vmt_en ). Might be something wrong with the memory.

What is the difference between iNumHWThreads an iNumHavokThreads ?? I thought havok threads is what tells new vegas to use how many thread on your processor ??
