game crash to desktop upon going to castle volkihar

pls help

[Lonesome_Drift]

i am using mods but i checked without mods i still crash

[ApproachingApathy]

I'm having a similar problem, when exiting or fast travel to the castle I crash. If I enter from the icewater jetty boat i'm fine. Further when exiting I only get the crash if i turn around. And I can cause the crash by going around to the entrance to the undercroft. The only mod that modifes castle volikar is Castle Volkihar Rebuilt, but disabling and earlier saves don't help. Volkihar is the only place this crash happens.

I found an eariler save that doesn't crash, going to replay to the point where i was to see if crash starts again.

P.S. In my game the crash is now affecting other places.

EDIT: Looks like my problem was caused by Better Vampires, I'm upset it took me so long to figure this out, if you're using that mod update to 7.6 version. If not then can you explain in more detail, do you crash when you fast travel, when you enter from icewater jetty, what mods have you got, etc. I'll try to help if I can. Are you still having this problem?

Hi, late reply, but I hope this helps someone!

I couldn't fix the bug, but a workaround is to type coc DLC1VampireCastleGuildhall, that will put you inside the castle, and it doesn't crash the game.
Simply wait 1 hour for Serana to appear in the castle with you and it'll work fine.
It seems that the cell of the castle exterior is what's broken. If the game still crashes when you try to leave, then just coc yourself to another safe location.

I haven't had to go to the courtyard yet, so I'll see if there's a workaround for that when I get there!
