CTD on entering Ark

[phico24]

Hi,

I just finished the quest where you first reach Ark with Jespar and left the city to explore. I first noticed the problem when trying to enter the Foreign Quarter as shortly into the loading screen the game crashes. After this I tried going around through the Armoury and entering Ark via the Market but I just found the same problem on going from Armoury to Market.

After looking online I've seen a few suggested solutions including validating the Steam files but nothing so far has worked. Could you please advise?

Thanks.

hi, welcome to the forum

- just to be clear, what "Armoury" are you talking about? do you mean the district "Military barracks"?

- do you have any mods installed? deactivate them and try again.
- does the game crash to desktop (do you get an error message?)
or does it just seem unresponsive (this happens sometimes, just let it load)

please attach a savegame (no auto- or quicksave).
they're found in (...\Documents\My Games\Enderal)
we'll need the *.ess and the *.skse file; pack both to a zip/rar/whatever archive (the forum doesn't accept *.skse)
thank you

Thanks for getting back to me. I don't know what's happened but for some reason the problem seems to have magically fixed itself without me doing anything. Would you still like me to link the save for examining or are we okay?

good to know it works now
we don't need the save then, could have been anything
