Denerim and Lothering chantry crash solution

[PrinceArthur2708]

For those who came here to find a solution about some crash in denerim or the chantry in lothering, read this, work 100% for me.

My english is so so, but you will understand i'm sure

 

DENERIM:

1- First thing you must know, never never never... did I say NEVER, never save your game in Denerim, always get out to the camp to make a save.

2- At your first visit in Denerim, do what you have to do without going in any building or the city map and don't talk to Couldry, stay in the market district.

3- After that go to camp, save your game, completly get out of the the game, not just go to the menu, really restart the game.

4- After that you can do whatever you want and it will not crash, I'm doing this since 3 weeks now and nothing crash or freeze.

5- JUST REMEMBER... NEVER SAVE IN DENERIM

 

NB: Sometime it take a bit long to get out of a building, black screen, just wait and don't attack your keyboard lollll

 

LOTHERING:

1- Almost the same of Denerim, but you can go at Dane's refuge without problem, here's what I'm doing.

2- Same rule, NEVER save in Lothering.

3- As I enter Lothering, I'm going directly to recruit Leliana. Equip her and bla bla bla in Dane's refuge.

4- After that, I'm going to the chanter's board, (you can take a look around for chest, talk to Sten etc... but do not enter the chantry) I'm doing the 3 quests of the chanter's board.

5- Get out to camp, save and restart the game.

6- When I'm back, I finish all the quest in Lotering, and I can enter and get out of the Chantry without any crash.

7- AGAIN, DON'T SAVE IN LOTHERING

 

*** EDIT: Restart the game only the first time you enter Lothering or Denerim. ***

 

Hope this will help members here, cause I see many post in the MOD section talking about that recently.

Farewell...

It's much better to figure out why the game can't be saved in an area, and resolve the issue, than to avoid saving.

I don't know why, I did search the solution for month in a lot of forum and found nothing that works 100%.

All I know is that on my Vanilla installation, both city have this problem, on Ultimate only in denerim.

Even without any MOD installed.

 

I did see this problem once almost 15 years ago, on a DVD game intall (can't remember which game) and

it was a miss-calculation of data during a save. Fortunatly, the company offer the possibility to change back

the dvd. Then for me it's the same I think, on certain dvd batch.

 

Did you ever see a patch for this or something to correct it ?

Just passing by to say it was a motherboard problem, since I've change it from MSI (burn) to GIGABYTE motherboard, no more crash problem.

My solution still working on another PC downstairs, wich is another MSI motherboard, a little bizarre ?!?!?
