Cannot complete Murkmire main quest 'death and dreaming' due to game crashes

I love the Murkmire questline and really want to complete it! It's super cool. However, every time I try to get into the second area of the dreamwallow (the one after the hunting party), the area loads, I see it for half a second, and the game instantly crashes. This has happened 5 times so far, and I despair that I won't be able to finish this quest at all because of this ;w;

I'm used to game crashes, I get them several times a day on mac NA, but this is one that has really halted my progress in the stories of this game.

    Quest worked for me. Have you tried with no addons selected?
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I haven't! That's a good idea. Will do that now and get back to you.

    @Nestor just tried it, game crashed as usual. I've tried this quest probably 20 times now since I posted about this issue.

    At this point, drop the quest and start it over. I did this a couple of months ago so maybe ZOS broke something. You will not have to repeat the entire series of quests, and maybe not even all of the stages you have done up until now.

    I think in this case you can just go back to where you pick up the boat. Note, sometimes you have to drop the quest, then wait like 48 hours for all coaches to reset.

    I've dropped the quest in the past and it didn't fix it. This time I'll wait a couple days though.

    It certainly could be, @baratron . I regularly get two to three game crashes a day on mac, at random times. But this is a very persistent crash.

    I once had regular crashes on my PC because of factory overclocked gpu. Maybe your mac has some kind of turbo mode that activates when game demands more power and you suffer from crash? I would try underclocking gpu. I did that in the past and it worked for me.

    I'll have to look into that! Don't quite know how to do that but definitely worth a try.

    Tried it again today. Used Nestor's advice of waiting 48 hours, set graphics to bare minimum, and underclocked gpu. Still crashed as per usual.

    I don't use any add-ons and I've restarted this quest three times in hopes of making it through. Same problem each time. Can't complete Murkmire because of this bug.
  • Degafohi

    By the way, not sure if it is relevant, but I have played through Murkmire with 4 other toons with no problem. Strangely, problem started concurrent with most recent updates.

    Hmm. Interesting, @Degafohi . Means me waiting to finish main quest before Murkmire was probably a bad idea XD

    Good to know I'm not the only one with this issue! Well, not good, but nice to know I'm not alone in this.

    Pretty sure by now this isn’t an issue on my end. I’ve tried everything I could think of and still can’t get through this quest.

    Tried again today, as there was a small update put out recently and I felt like giving it another go and also an update so hopefully this problem doesn't go unnoticed. Crashed as always.

    This is getting super frustrating, I've been trying to get past this quest for quite a while now, and I'm so tired of the beginning of this quest XD

    Having the same problem, cannot 'click' the mural for the quest to enter the 2nd part of the dream.

    This is still ongoing for me. Tried quest again after several months and the same bug occurred. I have given up hope on ever finishing murkmire main quest.
