Dawnguard Crashes the CK on Every Load Attempt

[David Brasher]

Is there some special trick to opening Dawnguard in the CK? It registers as a corrupted file in Wrye Bash just like Update.esm does. Every single time I try to open Dawnguard in the CK, I get a string of error messages and then the CK crashes.

 

Has anyone else been able to open Dawnguard?

Someone fixed it by extracting the string files from the Dawnguard.bsa (and putting in the string folder i guess.

 

The "mainstream" fixed instead is going to the Skyrimeditor.ini (not Skyrim.ini) and add "Dawnguard.bsa" in the Archive2 line, near shaders and update.bsa.

 

I used the 2nd method and work (Ck still displays tons of errors on Dawnguard, but it loads).

 

I think they'll update the CK soon to manage the new esm.

Thank you very much! It worked!
