Opening Spell Magic Menu causes instant CTD

Post » Sat May 19, 2012 12:42 am

I've been working through the crashing and predictable bugs so far, but I've now encountered a game ender. I'm playing a magic character, and after I clear the Ansilvund Burial dungeon, I can no longer access the spell menu. Instant crash to desktop. I've been trying as many fixes as possible, but this is ridiculous. I feel like the game has been released far too early with as many bugs as I'm encountering.

Please, does anyone have a possible fix for this? I've tried Large Address Aware, dropping visual quality, (game runs fine, so just to test) changed the sound to the specified setting, made sure my graphics card was not OCed, and I'm losing patience.

Ok.... very strange. So i loaded my save file prior to the crash. It is next to the corpse of the dragon i just slain. Problem is that i went over my maximum carry weight after looting the dragon. At the time the magic screen is still working... but as soon as i start to lighten my load (esp drinking many vegetable soups).. the crash returns??!

Very strange.

Ok.. crazy. It is definitely the item called "Vegetable soup". I have about 12 in my backpack. If i spam eat all in one instance, the game crashes when i select the magic tab. I have tested this multiple times and each time when i consumed the soup it gave the same result.

So "Vegetable soup" causes the magic tab to CTD?

I have noticed the soup effect seems to stack when you open the active effects, so it could be the list is to big, i just ate a lot of soup and ctd on magic menu, so i'm gonna wait for your soup to wear off and try again
