CTD during introduction

[TehFrederick]

The scene plays up until the dialogue "why are we stopping" and then the game hangs and crashes. I have tried it several times and it always crashes at that point. I have a tremendous amount of mods installed, but they should all be compatible. I installed them using Wrye Bash and have executed BOSS, SkyReproccer and Automat Variants prior to launching it via the latest version of SKSE.

I am not generating any Papyrus logs, the Log folder remains empty, unsure why.

It's usually recommended not to install any mod until you leave Helgen's keep. Start a new save without mods, pass Helgen and when you're actually out and the new quest pops, save and exit and install the mods again.

[Katarina]

It is exactly as Lother says, your mods are definitely behind the crash; the first quest just does not play well with them. Unless you really want to play through the vanilla introduction quest however, you could always use this mod to get around the problem. It allows you to "skip" the first quest (by giving you an alternative starting quest) and start the game in one of several locations of your choice.

 

 

[TehFrederick]

Is there a way to simply skip helgen, so not a different start or whatever, just not that particular part of the game?

[Katarina]

Other than downloading a savegame or using console commands to advance quest stages, I think not. But I've been wrong before

 

However, if you're open to "skipping" the first quest, I really don't see why you shouldn't use the mod I recommended. I've used it since just about when it was released and never had a problem with it - it's been a core mod for me ever since. But it's your game, your call

[hryh23k9823u]

Well with alternate start you can directly on the riverwood inn, so mainly a litle ahead from helgen.

[Katarina]

Or with the "camping in the woods" option you can pretty much spawn just a few metres from the Helgen main gate

[TehFrederick]

Still crashed, will try again after some fixes. Must have a messed up mod soup, timt to spend another 20 hours modding before I can play the game.

 

Also, I have this log from a general crash before alternate life:

Thanks for the help!

Get TESEdit

 

Run it leaving the default mods checked. It will tell you where the errors are.

[Deedlit]

try using at start menu the console command : coc ctest and after that load (if works) try loading one regular save too seen if works.
