Crashes on Auto Saves?

Post by vzybilly »

It mostly crashes on Auto-Saves but I've had one or two that didn't but it's really hard for me to read the crash report...
All of the crashes do seem to be before or around 4 seconds after the start of an auto save.

Does this happen without the mods or if you set video memory usage to low? It may be related to insufficient VRAM on your graphic card - what graphic card do you have?
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

It was happening without mods as well, should have mentioned that, I was doing multiple posts at the same time.

Graphics card, not sure. my computer is a laptop so it is stock. lshw says my computer is "Inspiron N5040 (To be filled by O.E.M.)" from dell but I think it's a different model but they didn't change the information in the hardware since the 5040 specs online says "Processor Manufacturer AMD" but lshw also says "product: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz"
So, no clue on the graphics card.

I will try with vid mem on low here in the next bit, I'll post up if it does crash again or if I get afew days in without crash.

just making sure but I don't use the VGA port often on my computer but that handles all the ports?

Yes, that one should be doing all the rendering by default. There could also be a discrete GPU around that might show up as 3D controller in lspci, look for something with ATI, AMD or NVidia in the name. Using that usually requires some hoop jumping but might be worth a try if your issue is really because of the crappy Intel IGP.

"lspci -v" should give a much more detailed output.

still, nothing really jumps out at me... I think I heard from some where that most all of my graphics work is actually happening on my main CPU but that was afew years back and I don't know where I heard it...

There might be an option in the BIOS to choose between switchable graphics/integrated only that'll make another GPU show up if you're lucky... or maybe your notebook really doesn't have a discrete GPU and you need to live with the Intel thing. Try the low VRAM setting then.

I think I'm just stuck with the intel stuff, horrible running games but atleast I have this and minecraft, nothing else needed :3

I have been running on low vid mem for afew hours now and nothing yet... but some days I didn't see any crashes and others... I think the worst was 3 inside of ten minutes...

EDIT: wow, two pages o.o

Alright, I've been able to play again and hit another crash on low VRAM
crash
Sorry I wasn't able to test more but I had moved and the new place had no internet so I wasn't on my computer to even play, which was horrible.
