Kaalgrontiid or fighting any dragons in southern Elyswer- Crash to Desktop

Khajiitihaswares

On story quest to fight him on the floating island when fight starts half way thru I get crash to desktop. No Error... No codes or logs just like application force closed. Tested this on MAC OS side same issue. I tested on my Windows desktop. Same issue... I tested on Bootcamp on mac for fun. Same issue.

Desktop hardware:
3TB SSD storage
i7 8700k @5.2ghz
32gb RAM
MSI DUKE 2080
Windows 10 2020 build.


Laptop:
Core I9 Macbook 16 inch
GPU: 5500m 4gb
Ram:16 GB

Mac OS Big Sur 11.0.1


Currently still trying to figure this out. Tryed Lowest game settings as well zero addons as well. Still having the issue... I am at a wall and I do not think the issue is on my end anymore since this quest or fighting any dragons causes a CTD presently... Any other game does not have this issue... I can play World of Warcraft or FF14 for hours and no issues... I also took liberty to test my SSD's and hardware it is fine... I also for fun reimaged desktop hardware and tried this quest and still CTD... So like I said I am at a wall now ZoS....

I’m on PS4 and having the same issue. I’m on the floating island and I didn’t even make it to Kaalgrontiid. Just a few moments of walking on the island and I get the crash blue scrren attached below. I tried over 7 times but still had the same result. I faced this before the last update and I thought they are gonna fix it. They didn’t and now I can’t continue the story.

Hello guys, I want to share my experience and solution for this problem. I play the game on PS4. And, before you continue reading, I wanna say that what is coming contains major spoilers. You’ve been warned. Now that we got this out of the way, let’s continue.

So, like you, I’m having the blue damn crash screen in the last mission of southern Elsweyr called “New Moon Rising”. After I pass Jonelight Path and get to the flying island where I have to destroy the 3 Aeonstone Focal Points and before confronting Kaalgrontiid, the crashes occurs. It starts seconds after entering the flying island. It’s the point where you wanna just throw the controller into the wall and curse the game. Well, the other potion is to just be patient. Yes, I noticed that when the crash occurs, and I get back to the game, I go back to the same point where the crash occurred. So with some patience, and multiple tries (around 20 times for me), I managed to reach Kaalgrontiid, defeated him, and finished the quest. The important thing is that you get back to the game right a way. If you wait too much time (I don’t know how much time but for me it was the next day) you will get back to Dragongaurd Sanctum and then you have to start everything over again. I know this might look silly and frustrating and for sure it takes the fun out of the game, but for now, it’s the only way to finish this part. At least this is what happened with me. Until, They find solution to this problem, I think this is the only way to pass the crash points.

I hope this can help who ever just wanna be over with this chapter. And if doesn’t work for you, please don’t blame me. It’s just my experience and what happened with me.

Yeah I stayed outside room and CTD then relogged and rushed the fight. Got thru it and CTD at the wayshrine to go senchal to wrap up the quest and was like that will do badly coded game that will do.

As there are currently multiple threads discussing some crashing that has continued after the latest update and maintenance, we've decided to close this thread. You can continue discussion and find troubleshooting in the thread linked below.

And again crashes from the game
