Game CTDs during Waking Nightmare

[Kanarus]

My Game keeps CTDing during this mission after disabling the magic Barrier and going to destroy the skull at first I thought it was one of my Mods but I have turned off all my mods except for my facial & hair mods and FNIS and it keeps CTDing on Me. As of right now I can't figure out if this is a game bug for this mission as it's the first time i've actually done this one or if I'm missing something.

 

Any Help would be appreciated I'd hate to have to restart my Elf.

There is another thread covering this exact issue, here's the link. Page 7/8 cover this issue.

Apparently in the lastest version of skyrim saving after the "dreamwalker" stage will CTD (which is where you are at in the mission). You have two options according to the thread:

 

1) revert to 1.7, finish the mission, then update

2) I Quote:

After you pull chain to release the miasma, you are transported back to the real world, able to move around but unable to interact with anything (can't use the "Activate" action, the "E" key on the PC). Get ready to spam Quicksave [F5]

As soon as the blur effect on the edges of the screen starts to dissipate, hit the Quicksave button repeatedly and rapidly, severely slowing the game down. You should hear the player character cough/gasp once, apparently awakening from the dream. Continue Quicksaving

Your character should cough/gasp a SECOND time. Keep quicksaving. Shortly after the second cough/gasp, the game will crash during one of the save attempts.

Load up the game again, then just click "Continue" or load up the most recent quick save, as the junk one that was created during the crash did not overwrite the good one. You can now make more saves without issues.

 

Furthermore, one poster linked to the Uesp wiki (Link) in which at the bottom in the "bugs" section covers CTD, saving, and other issues/possible fixes if the above one does not help.

 

Hope this helps!
