So much crashing wtf

[x Princess Leliana x]

So I've played for 8 hours just fine. Im now i nthe deserted building after clearing all the alleys in denerim, and it just keeps crashing, over and over and over and over.

Tried runningt in admin, tried compatability settings. Nothing. I load my save, start a fight, within 20 seconds, crash.

i5 4670k, gtx 970. got a fair few mods, none that id imagine cause this problem. Lock bash opener, two spec sten, icons project, the winter forge, skip the fade, expanded inventory, mer storage, grey warden runic armour, extra dog talents, dialogue tweaks, extra dog slot, cs class and specialisation pack, grey wardens of ferelden, and the improve DAO mod. As well as a few minor mods like white teeth and gifts showing who they are for.

I would bet on a mod problem, but nothing you've listed really jumps out at me. I also don't have an NVIDIA graphics card, so I'm not sure how well newer drivers play with this aging game.

Do you have a save from before you entered the building? If so, load it and just don't go in. If the crash-a-thon doesn't start, you might consider just skipping that quest, but there's no guarantee the problem won't return later if it's actually mod-related.

Dialogue Tweaks is a really old mod with a number of uresolved problems. Grey Wardens of Ferelden and C&S Pack are kind of in the same boat. I'm not saying these are a problem, but multiple big mods that make sweeping changes to the game, all running together, can sometimes result in weird happenings.

Worst case, since you're "only" 8 hours in, it might be the path of least resistance to just wipe your mods, verify the game cache, and start over with significantly fewer mods.

It's really hard to diagnose crashes when they start up in the middle of a play-through, and I wish I could help more. Maybe someone else will see this and have better ideas.

i turned on the immortality cheat to beat the difficult fight and for some reason it didn't crash. It's gone back to one crash every few hours. Which I can live with, no idea why though.
