Battle for Solitude CTD

[Renesco]

Every time I get to a certain point within Solitude, near the castle we're attacking during the last quest of the civil war, the game CTDs without an error message. I've googled it a lot and others have the same problem but I've never seen a reliable solution. Has anyone else experienced this or got a fix?

Mods, now or ever? Which ones? What order?

Yeah I've a lot of mods, I don't know how to generate a list using nexus mod manager. Anyway I got past the bug after CTDing about 10 times, I installed the unofficial patch, got another 2 CTDs, then on the 3rd time I loaded the save and just made a beeline for the door of castle daur. It crashed again, and on the 4th attempt it worked.

For future usen, NMM has 2 white "paper" icons in left hand bar of the Plugins view. You can import or export your load order as a TXT-file from there.

Note that load order only contains mods using Elder Scrolls Master and Plugin files (ESM and ESP) and not your full mod list. However, priority issues with other mods don't usually contribute to probelms you descrpied.

Yeah I doubt that a mod is the cause, since it's mostly stuff like new weapons / armour / melt weapons for ingots / traders / quality world map. None of the mods I use change the cities really. Thanks for the help

The CTD may be any mod, if it modifies something in Solitude and not just necessarily Solitude itself.

Did you run LOOT to sort your load order? If any of your mods have scripts loaded in wrong order then it may crash the game to desktop.

I'm running NO mods on a second playthough of the Civil War questline.
But every time I click the Castle door I CTD.
Since it's the last quest, it's frustating.

This is just ridiculous.
I've had othing but poblems with the ENTIRE questline.
Took six times to get past Sundergard Fort. All CTD at every single
Fort I'm supposed to capture.
Won't even mention the horrrible bug at Ft. Neugard which has cause me to restart Skyrim
several times from the beginning as the first Ft. has always been unplayable.

If someone has a solution I would love to hear it.
Once again, I'm running no mods.

I suggest you start your own tread.
