Regularly crashing the game when using alchemy

[Blundermore]

Ive encountered a regular bug where if i create potions too quickly it crashes the game consistently.

I confirm too. When I create some potions, the game crashes

I am getting this too and it seems to be when I am trying to craft stuff with stolen items? I was getting the crash consistently and since I cleared all my stolen ingredients out I haven't had it happen again.

So I'm on xbox, but found this thread and I'm experiencing the same. Alchemy in general seems to crash the game here and there when doing a lot of crafts of the same potion. But it 100% crashes if using stolen ingredients. Seems to be an issue for PC and xbox if that's the case.

try turning off DLSS and using FSR instead, also try these fixes in the video, worked for me:

Been having this problem. I read on Reddit just now several people saying they only craft potions indoors, or in small dark spaces. The common hypothesis is it has something to do with ray tracing or lighting

I was wondering wtf happened with my potion making

So do it outside? Okay, worth a shot

Edit: it do not work

Edit again: okay, I tried changing times to day and slightly moved over to a different area that’s more open. For now, it seems to work-ish

Edit once more: So, while outside and doing it after 3 days of waiting (to get supplies), still making too much of the same potion will crash your game still

4th edit: countered that with constant saves and have to guess now that maybe the leveling up the skill crashes (like if I make one more potion over before I back out and see the level up, than the game will crash)

Someone mentioned it somewhere else online, but I think the issue with the crashing is from stolen goods, so if you just avoid using those, it shouldn't crash.

Incorrect. It happens more consistently with stolen items, but isn't limited to them.
As for the lighting, the same thing. People crash with various different settings.

I have it on game pass pc, and it's still dying when I make potions. With and without stolen goods, and yes, different settings. This should be fixed soon, cause 50 quid/60 bucks for a game that came out 15 years ago is stupid.

Same thing happens to me. If you go inside a house or a dungeon, you can craft as fast as you want, but outside, my game also crashes with an unreal engine error message.

and here I am making an Spellsword who specializes in summons and alchemy... FML!

can confirm, i kept crashing trying to make potions after stealing a bunch of ingredients. read here about it crashing while outside and went inside to craft. no crash. so for now, just make potions indoors.
