I played up to approximately level 15 without a single crash. Then it started crashing when I was fighting wraiths. The ones on the ship in Anvil where the woman asks you to retrieve a crystal ball (or something like that) from the hold. And then slowly but surely more and more frequent crashes.

Now it crashes whenever I get anywhere near Dunbarrow Cove, whether I QT directly there or QT to Gweden Farm and start running towards Dunbarrow. And also when I exit Dunbarrow. As it happens an Oblivion gate opened nearby,  but if the crashing has anything to do with the gate, it's the only gate that contributes to crashing. Since I had all my character's stuff in the captain's quarters on the wreck of the Black Flag, I could think of no other way to get there other than ~coc.

I suspect the ghost of Tolkien is unhappy that Dunbarrow Cove is a cave full of ghosts, and the name sounds like Dunharrow, a cave full of ghosts.

Zero mods. The game is too new to be adding mods into the mix, in my opinion. Maybe in a couple of years it will be stable and ready for modding.

Doesn't mean much to me, but hopefully someone finds it useful.
