I've read the posts but it seems that nothing I do is working. I've already run Boss but I still get crashes from Dustman's Cairn

I can vouch that this is still a problem today, and don't go relinking that blog until you get a post SPECIFICALLY for this issue.

 

Before I post my load order I'm gonna run through my list and check out what mods I have that you have too.

 

EDIT: Actually, the problem in my case is when I enter Dustman's Cairn. I've never been into the cell before, so it can't be something predetermined to be there that isn't, unless the active mods are trying to call up something new.

 

PS: Seems that the only mods we have in common are Convenient Horses, Ultimate FOllower Overhaul, and, POSSIBLY, Alternate start, though mine is specifically "Random Alternate Start." I'll make another Post Script after testing them.

 

PPS: There are still crashes in Cairn, it seems to not be based on these mods, but it does normally happen after a time in the ruins, not immediately.

 

PS: I realized I also had Buildable Houses... I believe this is the culprit (as to why, though, I do not know). Upon removing this mod, Cairn will crash immediately upon entering, rather than after a while. Is there a way to unload that cell from my savefile, or do I actually ahve to revert to a much earlier save?

Whoops! Looks like the problem wasn't a mod at all. I looked into my papyrus logs and found that there was something about vampires inside this dungeon, and DLC going haywire.

 

I turned off Dawnguard and lo and behold, I can play the dungeon!

 

Seriously, Bethesda? You made a modification to your own dungeon and didn't test it out?

Just had this issue today. After pruning out all the mods I knew were iffy and still not getting anywhere I fixed it by removing WARZONES (there is a WZ around dustmanscairn which is insanely active and seems the likely cause of the issue),loading up my save, making a new save, loading the new save then unequipping everything so I was naked then coc dustmanscairn01. Worked. No CTD. I should add that I am using skyre so I had to re-run the reproccer then sort the load order manually to ensure the reproccer and its child esps were last in the list. HTH anyone else who has the issue. If not feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to help.

I know this is old, but I just had a problem where I couldn't leave Dustman's Cairn. It would get an infinite loading screen.

 

I tried disabling mods, no dice. I tried "coc whiterun" and other locations, same thing happened. I tried unequipping my items, nothing.

 

Strokend gave me an idea - I somehow had Serana with me on the quest as well as the Companion dude. After thinking about it, the game did tell me that the companion would replace my follower for this quest, but it never actually happened.

 

So with that in mind, I opened the console and disabled Serana, and viola, I could leave without infinite loading screen! I then ran "enable" and "moveto player" so I could get her out of there.

 

 

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I hope this helps someone.

Going along with the person above me, in regards to this bug for anyones future refference, i'd like to expand that I don't think it's a bug to do with dawnguard as someone mentioned (or if not here elsewhere someone did), if you're bugged and trapped in Dustman's Cairn via crashing to desktop when trying to get out, and at the same time have another companion alongside Farkas, I believe it's because you have another companion besides him. For some reason, the game decided to flip out with me because I had Tania, a mod companion with me at the same time as Farkas.

 

The solution, i told her to go home and wait so she left my service, left the area safely, and reinvited her after wards as she had not gotten away yet. So, i'm thinking the problem lies with multiple companions besides Farkas, and not just Serena herself.

this is an old post but i ctd when i view my map in the dungeon

[MrReplace]

This is in 2017. (Skyirm Special Edition). I am getting CTD without fail in Dustman's Cain when Farkas goes and interacts with the lever right after he is ambushed. I used ~ TFC to see what he was doing that was causing the crash and without fail it was when he enabled the lever. I turned off collision to see if when I interacted with it I would cause the crash, but no it was just when Farkas interacted with it. FYI he was in Werewolf form when he did this, so am suspecting its something to do with that. But I am not sure since the whole scene is scripted and its either Farkas pulling the lever or the game is scripted to release the lever, either way that is the moment when it crashes.

 

I have used LOOT and I have cleaned my master files but neither have resolved the issue.

 

I have uploaded my list of plugins to the post.
