AH1 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Whenever I finish the final quest and Tsun sends me back to Skyrim, I enter into an infinite loading screen (in other words, a non-CTD crash). The first time this happened, I had to reload a save the whole way back in Skuldafn and get to Alduin all over. The next time, I made plenty of saves in Sovngarde before and after all major events, just in case. Sure enough, it happened again. This time, however, I cannot load ANY save in Sovngarde--not a single one. It doesn't matter if it is the save I made on arrival, or the save I made after beating Alduin. They all crash. Any save BEFORE Sovngarde is fine though, it is only the ones in Sovngarde that are crashing. I disabled all my mods except essential ones, lowered my graphics to the absolute lowest setting, and even tried "ClearInvalidRegistrations", but nothing has helped. Aside from this, I have had no major problems in the past few weeks mod-wise, this came as a complete surprise. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? EDIT: I also want to throw in that my save games are NOT bloated, because if I were reading this as an outside, that is the first thing I'd suspect. UPDATE: So, I didn't figure it out, but this is how I worked around it. Fight and beat Alduin, talk to Tsun, but hit escape right after he teaches you Call of Valor. Then use "coc" to travel somewhere that is not Sovngarde. Save a new save (just in case). "Setstage mq305 200", and then travel to the Throat of the World. The game will continue on as if you had returned normally. It isn't a fix, but it at least works. Edited March 24, 2013 by AH1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AH1 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well, I guess I didn't find a work around. Now ANY game saved after visiting Sovngarde in the main quest causes the game to crash for me. It appears even setting foot in Sovngarde is corrupting my saves somehow. Does anyone have any clue what is going on here? There is nothing else seemingly wrong with my game or computer. These aren't quicksaves or autosaves either, which are known to be prone to crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaydon1976 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I know this thread is old but I'm having the same problem with a 50+ hours save that never crashed, never caused any trouble, isn't bloated, never disabled a mod or used a script-heavy one, etc. There must be something very specific causing this issue. Thanks for the workaround, worked for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingemiebob Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) I can't even defeat him, as soon as he's roughly 30% health CTD ! 11 attempts now same story every time Gonna try your workaround as soon as i leave the hall of valour and see if that works,will just have to live without the call of valour. if it doesn't i think i will be uninstalling and not reinstalling AGAIN pretty much had it to the back teeth with this crap Edited June 7, 2014 by thingemiebob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
