Raye Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I have searched Google for an answer to this problem and have come up empty handed. I am suffering from a rather annoying crash to desktop problem, which I have narrowed down to most likely involving the dialogue of some bandits, but I don't know how to fix it. I have 2 dungeons that have quests in them, both of these dungeons I have cleared successfully in the past, with this same character. But Dawnguard brought new quests, and I got sent back to them, and suddenly I am crashing to the desktop in situations involving bandits. In one, Lost Knife Hideout, though I don't think the problem is tied to one specific dungeon, the final room has a bandit leader that I have to kill, as soon as I get maybe 10 feet into the last room, bam, crash. EVERY time I got a certain distance into the cave, it would crash, no matter if i had been detected or not, it's completely repeatable. I ended up just leaving because I couldn't figure it out right then, and it was just a radiant quest, anyway. The other quest was in Treva's Watch to find the flaming crossbow bolt schematics for Dawnguard, so i didn't want to abandon that one, but the very first group of bandits I come across in the dungeon, crash to desktop. However, i was able to get closer to these ones than the boss in the other dungeon, it didn't crash until they saw me. I was able to successfully sneak past them, and was able to finish the rest of the dungeon as per usual, and it made me realize, there must some bugged/corrupted dialogue files. I went into Steam and verified the cache, it found one bad file and replaced it, but the crash to desktop with the bandits (I had a save right before both encounters) persisted. The only way I was able to get that boss was to use the console to kill him and the two bandits near him so they he couldn't get their lines out, I was then able to move around the cave freely without it crashing. does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've tried disabling the sound, I have my speakers set to 96khz-16 bit, as mentioned I've verified my game cache in Steam. I do have a lot of mods, but these same mods were running previously when I cleared the dungeons the first time around, and I never ran into an issue with the bandits before. It only started after I got Dawnguard and Hearthfire, both of which I can't disable without losing a lot of game progress and stuff, but even so I did try, and it still kept crashing.
