Yngol Barrow Doesn't Load : V

» Thu Aug 16, 2012 4:44 am

I just wanted to let people now that this particular dungeon doensn't load upon entering. The screen goes completely black and after a minute or so, the game loads and sends you back outside. This is the first time this happens to me on Skyrim, this is my second playthrough and in more than 350 hours I hadn't experienced this problem before. This dungeon is needed for the quest "Dungeon Delving" in which you are instructed to retreive the helm of Winterhold for Jarl Korir.

I quickly searched the internet and apparently this problems is not new, it's rather old because a certain person already described this problem on UESP Wiki in januari. I hope this gets fixed soon Bethesda!

Quote from januari on UESP:

Black Screen upon entering. On the PS3, as I enter the cave, I can see it for a moment and then everything goes black. I have to quit the game to get out of it. I managed to fix this glitch by getting my followers to "Wait Here" outside the Barrow before entering.--http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.159.176.239 05:06, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

PS: The solution is described above, I tested it and it works so leave your follower outside the dungeon and it will load correctly. So don't take them with you.

Patch 1.07 may fix the issue as it contains follower fixes (If it ever gets to EU PSN that is) we will have to put up with the problems it brings though.
