The game CTD everytime I try to run through Bonechill Passage and only there. Anyone else having this issue?

I've just got there now, and yes every time crash to desktop no warning or message, I've tried lowing the graphics quality but same thing happens after about 15 or so seconds in there, I kill the creature whichever one it is and then crash

Well I sprinted through the cave killing as fast as possible and made it through. Went up the hill killed the Dragon got the new word.....everything was fine up there. This was quite weird.

Play in windowed mode to kill the ice wolf that inhabits the area. Something about it crashes the game when you look at it (or it gets in the path of the camera frustum). After it is dead you can return to fullscreen and play normally.

Same thing happened to me but I wasn't sure if it was an isolated incedent.

If that is in fact the cause, as soon as the cave loads open the console and type kill, that will kill everything in the cell. I'll have to try that. You can also get to the word wall from the backside with some jumping.

Very simular, have not been to Bonechill cave. But when I enter the final room in Dead Man's Respite, I crash at bottom of the stairs.

I spent a few hours trying every fix I found online and none worked. I was ablt to ues the "tcl" (turns off colision)cheat I can make it up the hall way. When I get there the NPC "King Olaf" has not spawned and the Dragon Word would not work (it animated but never added to my skills). I am stuck in this room since King Olaf has the key on his body. I even peeked inside his coffin (with tcl still on) and saw nothign inside.

When I turn of TCL I can walk around the room freely and interact with the objects. What is really funny is when I walk back down the stairs it crashes at the same spot.

It looks like that spawning King Olaf causes a crash to desktop. He may be missing in the data files. I tried a clean install with still no fix.

Same thing happens eveyr time I enter Potema's room, CTD on load. I assume is her sprite is also missing.

These two creatures may share a texture that is missing and kills program on attempt to load.

The problem I have is that the creature is different every time I enter, I've had a wolf, an Ice wolf and an Ice Wraith so far, I get no problems elsewhere so I loaded up again, left the cave and did more of the game. I'll go back and try the windowed mode, hope this gets spotted by Bethesda though

Had the same CTD everytime i tried to get through the passage, but can confirm that playing in window mode does the trick.
