Hi guys!

I was wondering if anybody else had encountered a CTD when playing the "Wolf Queen Awakened" quest?

I keep crashing on exactly the same spot - just as I defeat all of the Draugrs (I think the Deathlord spawns last) I CTD...every single time!!!

I do have a bunch of mods on although the game has been uber stable for me up untill this point.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance

I should add that it crashes directly on the "Collect Potema's remains" just as she warps into the next room as a blue ethereal energy...

I have re-installed vanilla Skyrim and not experienced any crashing at this point so I am pretty sure it was a result of a mod.

I have painstakingly installed one mod at a time and tested for the crash and THINK it is a result of the realistic rag doll physics mod - so just an FYI to anyone who is using this mod it could cause crashing on this quest!

You should put this feedback on Nexus and maybe try to get in touch with the MOD developers. This way, you're doing a great service to the community

I have just now been getting exactly this recurrent crash every time. I uninstalled every mod, but it still happened.

I do have the realistic rag doll physics mod, so will go back and double check this.

Turn all your gfx settings to minimum until you get past that event. This saved my butt in a similar situation.

Tried this- Still crashes. In fact i`ve tried everything, I think. Removed all Mods, tried 1 or 2, maxed our graphics, reduced graphics to minimum, changed sound.

It`s a very strange issue since I have had no problems for about a month and am now at level 22.

The only thing left to do is reinstall my body mods. Since Potema is female, maybe a body mod is conflicting? If that don`t work i`ll reinstall the rest.

And as a last resort I`ll save my saves and do a whole reinstallation of Skyrim.

I`m trying anything!

Ah, bummer. I hoped that would work.
I'll tell you another issue I've had. I haven't finished the quest you two are on so I'm not familiar with the exact scene but I did have a 100% inescapable crash recently. I'll spoiler the circumstances for those who haven't done the Riften Temple of Mara quests:
So, I don't know if it's possible in your circumstance, but maybe if you can turn tail and run... maybe even enter another cell, the quest will complete behind you and you can move on.

That was a good idea. I ran out the door into the other cell and waited 24 hours and returned, but the game still crashes anyway. It`s completing the death of Potema and it don`t seem like it`s going to do it while I am not there. It just waits...Maybe I should do a 3 day wait.

i wonder if it`s due to when i disabled these two crystal things that were firing at me? In my previous game I did not disable them....

I may go back a save or two and try that.

So I guess nobody has a clue to this problem?

I had the problem of it crashing just as you kill the last Draugr and Potema retreats into the next room. It was caused by a custom Jarlclothes03 mesh (in my case for CBBE, but I believe any custom mesh causes the problem). Temporarily removing that mesh allowed me to continue and defeat Potema.

You are crashing because you have a replacement mesh for Jarlclothes installed. Go to your \data\meshes\clothes\ folder and delete all the Jarlclothes folders and your crash will go away.
