Skyrim Crash at Dayspring Canyon

[anzeroth]

Hello,

Everytime I try to get to Forst Dawnguard, I have to pass through Dayspring canyon, which causes my game to crash. It is a specific spot before even reaching the Fort that, whenever my character walks through, causes my game to crash.

Here are the things I tried to do to resolve this:
1. Loaded an earlier savegame and tried to walk through the specific spot. CRASH
2. Disabled all my mods, with the exceptions of Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm, Hearthfires.esm, Dragonborn.esm. CRASH
3. Cleaning my savegame with a tool. CRASH

The second points seems to indicate that the problem does not reside with a mod, but rather with something else (right?).

What else is there to do?

In addition, here is my BOSS Log File in the case that it is needed in any way.

Thank you in advance! :smile:

Nevermind my problem; I actually managed to fix it by myself.

 

Problem:

The issue causing the crash was the quest A New Order. More specifically, I had reached stage 70 of the quest and whenever I tried going back to Isran to turn in the quest, the game would crash in Dayspring canyon.

 

Solution:

I inserted the console command of SetStage <quest id> <stage value> by replacing <quest id> with DLC1HunterBaseIntro and <stage value> with 200.

This caused the quest to be completed and triggering the next quest Prophet. After completing the first stage of this quest I was able to walk freely to Dayspring canyon without the game crashing.

Firstly I would like to thank you for your detailed and informative post, I was having the same problem and the solution you posted worked for me!

Secondly, I'd hazard a guess at it having something to do with the 2 NPCs not behaving correctly. I used 'coc DLC1DawnguardHQ01' to teleport inside of Fort Dawnguard to find the 2 NPCs there, but was only able to talk to them as if I had yet to recruit them. On top of this, there were no conversation prompts with Isran pertaining to completing the quest. A lovely bug, squashed by your fine answer, thanks again!

Sorry to necrobump, but I'm having this same issue and I'm doubtful it has to do with the quests. In one save game, I got the quest to go to Fort Dawnguard for the first time and would always CTD while travelling between Riften and Dayspring Canyon. On a new save game, I tried walking in that same area before receiving the Dawnguard quest and experienced the exact same CTD.

I was having the same issue, CTD as I got close to dayspring canyon. Spent hours trying to fix it, sounds weird but the way I managed to sort it was by saving the game as close to the entrance as possible and I managed to load the game and quickly sprint into the location. Not sure how it worked buy I loaded into dayspring canyon fine and since then have had no issues.
