Are There Crash Logs For Skyrim?


Answer :

Go to My Documents/My Games/Skyrim and open up Skyrim.ini.

Then add this:

[Papyrus] fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=500.0 bEnableLogging=1 bEnableTrace=1 bLoadDebugInformation=1 

If the section [Papyrus] already exists, then you might add it without the section identifier. Next time you start the game you should see a new folder called "logs" inside that folder. And there is another folder called "scripts" and inside that 4 new log files.


At C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\GameOverlayUI.exe.log you will find this helpful message:

Fri Nov 25 04:11:22 2011 UTC - Generating new string page texture 2730: 128x256, total string texture memory is 393.22 KB
Fri Nov 25 04:56:43 2011 UTC - Detected possibly crashed/killed game, exiting
Fri Nov 25 04:56:43 2011 UTC - Shutting down overlay

There is a dialog in Steam to allow you to pass arguments to the game. It could be that one of them is for debug mode.

I found that it would start crashing at a savepoint more often if there were a lot of dead bodies scattered around. I went into the console and marked them for deletion, and then it got past that point. I also managed to delete a small lake in the process.

But it still crashes.
