FlyingHigh10000000 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Seems I'm not the only one having this problem, but so far all I've seen are a bunch of threads in various places describing the problem, with no solution. It's like the problem is just forgotten because not everyone gets it. I'm currently on the Stormcloak quest to get the loyalty of the Jarl's aide or whatever in Understone Keep, and of course, this bug causes a CTD whenever I try to enter. Even coc-ing into the place just nets me an instant CTD. No problems anywhere else in the game. None of my mods do anything to Understone, and this seems to be affecting a lot of people, often relating to one of the Thieves' Guild quests altering the Keep's cell. Is there any way to uncorrupt this cell, or am I just going to have to avoid the Keep and any other places that happen to get corrupted in this buggy game? Edit: I've tried verifying the integrity of the game files with Steam, and I don't have earlier saves, because generally I rely on autosaves for any troubles, which are few and far-between since the patches began rolling in. There's just this huge problem now, with Understone Keep. I've tried multiple entryways, from the front door, the door in the Hall of The Dead, and directly coc-ing in from both Markarth proper and the Hall of The Dead. Same result each time, not even a loading screen. just a straight CTD the moment I initiate entry.

Kodiak412 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Are you running the latest updated version of the game? Many people had instant CTD's when their save game files reached a certian size. The latest patch did seem to correct this though. If your still playing on an older version that could be an issue. Also consider that many mods will need updating too. They may have worked perfectly fine previously but then an update will come out and bork your game. Try unchecking your mods and see it that helps. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingHigh10000000 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Definitely running the latest version of the game. I always let Steam update my games. I'll try the mods thing and see if that fixes it. Having to re-craft my non-vanilla gear will be worth fixing the save, if it works. Will update in a bit.

FlyingHigh10000000 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Disabling all mods allowed me to enter without any crashes. Now I just need to figure out which mod, or which mods, cause it, so I don't lose all my items. Thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak412 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Great! Just another little tip. If you like to mod your game, and considering the normal bugs a game of this magnitude can, and does have, hard saving early and often is always recommended. Autosaving can be a problematic path with save corruption issues and having a hard save to fall back on can be a life saver. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaravelis Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Today after a fresh install a mass of ctd's were made inside the city of Markarth. So when I deactivate all the autosave options CTD's were gone. I don't know why maybe a good expanation is by Kodiak412's post above of mine. By the way I didnt deactivate any of my mods. I wish you all a new and more creative year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearsintherain1985 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 For me it was the new version of frostfall, that splits frostfall into frostfall and campfire. Removing both nets instant repeatable entry. Now Im irritated cause I like frostfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
