I've finally been able to make (most of) this pack work consistently without game-breaking crashes by doing the following:
1. Install Large Address Aware, if you haven't already. You really should have it regardless.
2. Install this mod
3. Install Old Gods in the same directory, overwriting duplicate files.
4. Install Manually Optimized Textures, overwriting duplicate files (or just let it load later).
5. Run any remaining large textures (20MB or higher) through Ordenador. Set anything above 2048x2048 to be downscaled (divide width and
height by half).
6. If you want to be extra certain, you can repeat the process for the normal and specular maps (files ending in "n.dds" and "s.dds") and further downscale anything above 1024x1024.
I've struggled with these HD texture packs since I first downloaded them late last year, and had multiple spots where I frequently couldn't progress with the game without taking the textures out of my override completely, like trying to leave the Lothering Chantry or the Redcliffe Castle upper floor. Trying to leave the Amaranthine Chantry was flat out impossible. After this process, all those area transitions now work.
The game will still crash eventually if I play it long enough, or if I try to run back and forth through those areas multiple times, and I have to first load into a save at party camp before being able to load a save in problem areas like Denerim or Lothering. But at no point have I run into anything that forces me to remove mods in order to progress - and this is with a ton of other, often graphics-intensive, mods installed.
Its alot easier than it sounds. Should only take a few minutes to do.But basically the game runs a 2GB of RAM. Have the file set to LAA allows the game to run at 4gb of RAM which is needed for this mod
you can either download the prepatched file or do it yourself as stated in the guide.I just copied pasted the application and replaced the old one in the bin folder
With this way, it works already *___*
edit: game crashes the whole time, even after the LAA 4GB patch...
Update.
And this is why I carefully install my mods and categorize them in files inside the override. I reached Lothering for the first time, enter the Chantry did some stuff, and when I went to exit my game crashed. Then, I tried an earlier save, and it didn't even boot and CTD. I took my textures folder out of the override and started the same save that crashed when exiting the Chantry, and I transition the areas normally and without problems. Srsly though, this game has some serious issues with high-res textures and memory leaks.
