Bucephalas Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have no idea why this happened because the game worked just fine for a few hours. I installed the crimson tide mod and SMIM, they are both great, that's not the horrible part. The horrible part is that I played for a few hours everything was fine and then I started a thieves guild quest to meet Brynwolf or whatever his name is at a standing stone south of riften. I fast traveled to Snow-shod farm(or something like that) south of Riften and shortly after there is a dragon attack, just as I'm getting ready to attack the dragon, the game just crashes. I tried reloading this today and went to the same place got into the fight with the dragon and then it just crashed. I also noticed there was another dragon a short distance away. Does anyone know what could be the cause of the crashing? I don't think it is connected to the mods because I didn't find any similar problems in the comments section, but I included them because they were the last ones I put up before I got problems. Thank you for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldofscotty Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Crashes usually = mods. I know we like to think that they don't but the vanilla game is pretty stable now. If your experiencing problems try removing the mods. Loading the game. fast travel or enter a different zone and back again. see if it is fixed.

Hurmferd Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) Occasionally a saved game will become corrupted and crash when you are playing and when this happens, the crash seems to occur at roughly the same point in the game. Try loading an earlier save. If you haven't already, another thing to check is whether you have the proper load order for your mods. H.

Bucephalas Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 I tried removing the mods and even with the mods removed the game still crashed. I'm guessing Hurmferd is right, it could be a corrupted save file, I have an auto save file in which I am still in Riften and I can go on indefinitely(untested) without crashing, but the moment I get to Snow-shod it just closes the game. Thank you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucephalas Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Definitely corrupted files. I turned off the mods and the game gave me the warning that some of the objects are no longer there. Instead of pressing continue, I decided to cancel that and load another file, when I went to check my saved games the game listed all of them as corrupted. I just restarted the game and my files were good again... Then I fast traveled to Shearpoint, killed a dragon and there was no crash. I should fast travel or go back to Snow shod and see if the crash is area specific. Again, thanks for the help and suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
