Game crashes around Riverville

[despotes]

I have travelled around a bit I came to Riverville. The game kept crashing as I moved towards it. So instead I circled around but the same thing kept happening. I see the game freezing and then just shutting down. I've tried it without any of the (Steam Workshop) mods but the issue remains. Same thing when dropping my graphic settings to Low. Please help, because I like this game (can't really call it a mod anymore) .

Crash info:

A normal "crash info" is very general, so it does not help here. Savegames say more about it.

But it can help if you wait at least 3 days at another place:
leave the general area and look for an interior cell (some dungeon or house) you can sleep in.
then sleep for five days (three might already be enough, just to make sure). the crashy cell should reset.
(or you can just wander the wilds for some days, sleeping should be faster though )

Saves Games are located in: C:\Users\...\Documents\my games\Enderal\Saves , we need the -.skse- and the -.ess file.
Because -.skse cannot be uploaded directly, it is best to put both files in an archive ( e.g. zip/raw/7z ) and then attach them here below.
(please do not choose Auto- or Quicksave, but a manually saved)

Hi Stefanie,

It seems sleeping for 6 days didn't help. I've attached the savegame.

hi!

I've attached the savegame.

unfortunately you did not

[despotes]

Pretty sure I did but can't see it anymore. Let's try again.

thanks, this time it worked

good news is that the save doesn't crash on my end, so it's probably really a mod to blame.
the "Riverville Arcane Enchanter" was created/updated last year and since then there were some performance improvements in that area,
possibly making it incompatible.
so that one's the likely culprit.

if unsubscribing via Steam doesn't do it you could try to use the "Steam Workshop" in the Enderal Launcher additionally.
after that let Steam verify your game files.

hope that helps

Thanks a lot for the quick responses. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to do the trick either. I've removed all the mods (unsubscribing, through the launcher, deleting files) and removed all skyrim mods as well, just in case. I've validated the files and loaded an earlier save (the other one turned out to be too close to Riverville already) and even slept 6 days to be sure. I've dropped my settings to the lowest possible. But once I enter the region just through the Highwaymen camp (coming from the old ruins with the wild mage where I slept), the game slows for a second before closing altogether. Any other ideas?

Skyim works well for you and Enderal works well in other places? Then it does not seem to be the PC or any settings-

Because the Savegame worked for us, I assume that your installation is faulty. Probably it's file remnants from incompatible mods.
If you uninstall the mods, there might be some files left, especially if you have only deactivated them.

A possible solution is a clean new installation.
- For this you have to uninstall enderal first
- then delete the following 2 folders: "C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\enderal" and "...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Enderal"
- now delete the 2 -.ini files under C:\Users\...\Documents\my games\Enderal

Then restart Steam and reinstall Enderal without mods and have Fun (i hope ).

(your Skyrim-installation has nothing to do with this, they are completely separate things)

That did the trick
