Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I load up my game.

I start Training day-mission

CTD

This has also happened with other missions, occasionally I get a glimpse of some Unity-error.

At one time I also had the Elder Scrolls Online launcher open, which crashed at the same time.

I am running the mod "Panic System", but I've also had crashes in saves where it wasn't enabled.

No crash file seems to be generated, at least there isn't one in the folders I am directed to.
Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

Not sure how you used up a 50gb swap file! But try unloading every other app you can before starting the game - any different?

 

[SchwabianSwine]

Yes, I think there's something off. I have no issues with other games while running other apps.

Havent't tried turning off EVERYTHING else, but I have tried while closing some other stuff.

I'll check it out further when I get home from work.

 

[SchwabianSwine]

I'm not sure if it helps but:

I have no problems running the game on my laptop (Except that its a bit slower and I have to sit in uncomfy position!)

 

[SchwabianSwine]

So, I follow a thread with similar memory issues, where AndrewT recommended creating a certain size of page-file.

Mine was automatically handled by windows on my E: drive, but I figured what the hell and forced a 2000-32gb pagefile on C as well (which usually has notoriously low diskspace) and now I managed to launch the game!

I still think its a problem if I need to go into windows and make special solutions when the game worked fine before patch!
