» Mon Aug 20, 2012 12:19 pm It was happening in a previous game and I went back a bunch of saves (2-3 hours worth) and then got to the same point and it crached, froze, CTD or all the above again. So I thought it went deeper then that and there was a save corruption so I started over. I cheated to level and get back to the point I was at as quick as I could and got to the same part of that quest, collected shadowmere, headed towards Falkreath and the same thing happened again...BAFFED. So thin time I thought it must be mod related to deactivated all mods and went again and was able to run around Falkreath with no crash so that seemed to have confirmed it was mod related, but that's where I have my other problem.
For the life of me I can't work out what mod is causing it and here's why...I reactivated all ESMs and went in, was able to go around with no crash, OK that's a good start. I then reactivated a hand full of ESPs again no crash so I keep going, next hand full no crash which seems like I'm getting somewhere, then the next hand full I crash which means I may have found a winner, so deactivate that last hand full and activate 3-5 or them and go again and still crash, then activate only 2-3 and go again she still it crashes which in normal troubleshooting circumstances would be a good thing as we would be close to finding the cause. But then I get down to one out of that last hand full and still get the crash so I think that is the culprit so deactivate that and activate a few after it...and it still crashes...OK confused now. I deactivate all of that last hand full and try again and yet it still crashes, so the first few hand fulls I tried which seems to be OK turns out there not so I start the troubleshoot over again and the same thing keeps happening. At some point they decide to work and then they don't and I'm just going around in circles which is making it impossible to pin point the mod causing the problem.
Also not sure if it's related that annoying Barbas is on the road as well so when passing him the quest starts...another thing to note I run back and forth through Falkreath LOTS AND LOTS OF TIMES as I'm doing the DB quest as I said and there was never no problem but just like on the last play through upon this quest when getting shadowmere and having to go looking for Arnbjorn also have three more kills before then final contract from Nazir this was happening, literally all is identical to the previous play through (minus a few mods, quests ect).
So just need a hand on trying to work this out.
My load order will follow and up to cloaks I had everything active and I was running around with no crash but now them same mods active it's crashing.
