#HADORAM SAVE GAME CLEANER PATCH#

Just to put it in context: Vanilla Skyrim + Dawnguard + Hearthfires + Dragonborn + Unofficial Legendary Patch + SkyUI + Live Another Life = A total of 28,619 strings. the game does not CTD nor is there any indication of any weirdness within papyrus while playing so it seems that the game engine itself is capable of strCount > 0xFFFF but the save file itself has become unfit for purpose. Corruption this way can occur in game while you are oblivious you are creating bad saves. It would seem to support the theory that the pointer is being incremented past 0xFFFF and then decremented again below 0xFFFF as the game is played and strings are created and discarded at the very limit of strCount. I've seen it happen where save 1 is corrupt and save 2 (5 mins later) is fine. Once the number of strings is incremented past 0xFFFF we're guessing the pointer 'wraps around' and resets to 0x0000 making the save unreadable. It's maximum value is FFFF hex or 65,535 decimal. 65,535 - (the number of strings from step 6) = the cushion you have from having corrupt saves. If you receive a pop up error 'Range check error' your save is almost definitely screwed.ħ. Click on Papyrus (don't need to expand).ĥ. Download TESV ESS Files Editor by fubrus: Ĥ.

I feel there are a lot more people out there have this issue and don't realize it because your first instinct would be that it's a mod conflict of some sort.Ī limitation in Skyrims save file format has been discovered which causes saves to become unloadable - CTD on loading these affected saves. It's a bit of a long, technical read but please try to bear with me and take the time to digest the post fully as there is a lot of information. I see it as a pretty serious threat to the longevity of Skyrim in general. I'm posting here as this issue could use some more exposure and I fear the timing of it's discovery with the release of Fallout 4 will mean it will go unaddressed if left much longer.
