Just got an update, OpenMW is still eating up loads of RAM and CPU, freezing my computer.

I've disabled cell preloading, by adding this code to settings.cfg:

Code: Select all

[Cells]
preload enabled = false

Indeed. Tried a few minutes without crash, thank you.

However, as soon as I enter any interior area (shops, council club...) the memory usage increase again, at the same rate than when fast travel preloading was enabled. Going outside doesn't stop the increase, I have to quickly kill the process.

Hm, that sounds like it may be stuck in an infinite loop or something like that.

Is there errors in the openmw.log?

Nothing looks suspect to me:

If you can narrow down the mod that is causing this, that would be great. A binary search would be the easiest way to do it (i.e. disable half your mods, if the problem persists then you know the mod at fault is not in that half, rinse and repeat).

Alternatively, you could zip up your whole data folder and send it to me, but I'm afraid that might take too long to upload.

I did the dichotomic search and found "Starfire's NPC Additions v1.11":

I checked a basic scenario:
- load Morrowind/Tribunal/Bloodmoon, Starfire's mod and Quickchar
- coc Balmora (no bug in seyda neen...)
- enter a house
