Crash on entering Glenmoril Coven

Post » Wed Nov 21, 2012 11:34 am

So, I'm on my second visit to Glenmoril Coven. The first time I cleared the place as part of the Companions line, Farkas got bugged out and wouldn't continue the quest. My best attempts at fixing that failing, I loaded an earlier save and started the quest over. Now I've hit another problem: as soon as I try to enter the Coven area, I crash to desktop. No error reports, no nothing. Just boom, desktop.

I'm not running any mods that should effect the area, and I haven't changed anything compared to my last visit, which worked fine, as far as the Coven area itself goes. To fix this problem, I have tried:

* Validating cache (says it needs to reacquire one file, every time, even if I validate again seconds after validating)
* Disabling Sounds of Skyrim
* Adjusting graphics
* Reloading earlier saves
* Jumping to quest target via console (crashes in the same manner)

Still, no matter what I do, I'm getting the same result. Right when the loading scren for the new area should appear, I crash. Has anyone seen anything similar, or maybe have an idea of what to do? I have no issues entering other dungeons as far as I can tell, but I'm not sure if the bug is specifically being caused by something in this area and the quest involved, or something more general.
