[Solved] Crashing After Nightsong Freed

Post by Iconodule »

orinEsque, hello! Thank you for the wonderful mod and all your hard work supporting us mod users.

Unfortunately, I've run into the same issue as the last poster. Though I believe I tried the solutions you gave to that issue, the problem still persists. I've attached my save file (made after the Balthazar boss fight and before the cutscene where Aylin is freed) and a screenshot of my mod order. I apologize if the image doesn't show up, I am new to sharing files on this forum. Not sure how to do it without actually attaching a file
Mod order:

Save file: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/eqc5gy15 ... nvbm9&dl=0

To paint a clearer picture, I had been playing the game with only officially-supported mods after Patch 7. I installed both the BG3 mod manager and the No Alphabets mod yesterday. All the No Alphabets files are exactly what was on the mod page on 1/12/2024. In order to test whether the mod was working, I decided to go to a previous save right before the cutscene where Aylin is freed. While the cinematic was great, once I finished the dialogue with Shadowheart about getting out of the Shadowfell and Shar being angry, the game crashed.

Solutions I have tried:
- Checking mod order
- Validating game files
- Not skipping anything in the cutscene
- Making sure there are no files in my mod folder (they aren't there post-BG3 Mod Manager installation, though I can't imagine where they might be)
-Launching from DirectX11

I am about to try simply playing from an earlier save file to see if the issue is the save file itself.

After you're out of newly registered(3 posts), you can just drag and drop images onto the text edit area to attach them to a post. Only works in the full editor, not the mini quick reply one.

Update: I tried going to that scene again from an earlier save, and it's still happening. It seems to be that particular transition from cutscene to gameplay--or perhaps the portal from the Shadowfell to Toril--that's crashing the game.

New save file before cutscene: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rlw6nw60 ... matlt&dl=0
Save before descending to Nightsong's prison (sorry, you'll have to fight Balthazar): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8dw6dy4f ... r33pm&dl=0

Luckily, I progressed to just before the battle in Moonrise before downloading NoAlphabets. I'll try playing further to see if there are any more issues.

Got through the rooftop fight with Ketheric. The game didn't crash after the cutscenes with Ser Aylin there, though he was screaming like a woman when he got hit by the Absolute's tentacle.

Hi Iconodule, thank you for the detailed report.
I have actually identified and fixed this issue already. I will release it with the next patch.
