There appears to be a crash when triggering a cut scene by entering straw’s house.
The cut scene is never started and the game crashes.
This appears to be unrelated to previous Pestilence bugs.

Guess what WH and fanboys will say? Wait for another patch 
This quest will be fixed, but some other will most definitely be broken. That’s the 60$ game for you… dear peasants.
It’s a shame that this is allowed in business and even more so that some people are still defending this joke.

Not really fair!
This isn‘t EA or UBI! It is a Kickstarter project from a young Team! And it‘s a huge open world game! Remember all the bugs of Skyrim? They work on it and need our feedback!
Yeah, i‘m struggeling too because of the bug at straw‘s house, that‘s not funny at all, but projects like this need time and work! AND OUR FEEDBACKS!!

Hello there !
Bug confirmed. The game crash when entering Straw’s house while Pestilence quest.
If someone know a hack to continue, it will be great

Well, I can already see what the haters are going to say: It’s the end of the world and the devs are evil, lazy, and stupid. And this shouldn’t be happening because making games is easy and simple. I have played games for a decade and I have come to accept that bugs are always going to happen, especially in a sandbox game like this. And I find it weird to get angry over a piece of entertainment, but maybe that is just me…
But to answer to this topic. Try deleting your mods. I had the same crash and then I deleted my Unlimited saving mod and no more crashing.
Using no MODS whatsoever (through Steam Client) on version 1.4.1 (with the official hotpatch of last friday evening).
When entering one of the houses, I get an auto crash to desktop. I also believe this to be straws house.
I allready had 80hours in this game, and had to restart the campaign because of another related “Pestilence” bug. The one where Matthias stays “sleeping/beign sick” on the floor for “Questions & Answers”. Now Im into 130hours into the game, and would really like to see “Pestilence” become bugfree because its becoming a “Pest” (pun intended) of a quest.

I have the same problem too,
i could speak the rest of villagers and Matthias (or whatever his name), but the cut scene is never started and the game crashes, after when i entering Straw’s house… 
I have the same issue, as do hundreds of others. I have done all the other quests, except for turning in the race quest, which is also bugged. Now that the main quest line is bugged. I just stopped playing until the next patch lol. I did a bug report, as I am sure others have to. Now it is just a waiting game.
Also stuck with this bug and it’s not the first crash bug I have since 1.4.1: the same happens when I exit the final conversation of the Talmberg Horse race quest, when you get the reward for winning. Never had any crashes in previous versions. I’ll mail this one to support and seems I’m done with the game too then for a while… 
Just a question: did somebody tried it in other languages if the crash still happen; maybe it’s only a language-issue; since the cutscenes are different in other languages and maybe it’s only broken in english. (i am still not there yet to test it)
I’m playing in french and I get the crash, tried with all langage and textures dlcs to and still crash. Even tried with mods to be sure, and crash. Can’t continue the story because of this
I managed to progress a little further down the main quest line, by avoiding going into that house and getting the remedy from the Monastery.
Now that I cured everyone, I get a crash to desktop directly after interrogating the prisoner.

Same thing here. Tried to heal all the peasants but no to talk with cured bandit. Waited for 2 days. CTD when I was in tavern
Hi. Same problem here. No mods and no HD DLC. I think i managed to solve the problem for me: I changed my Graphic Settings from “Borderless Fullscreen” to “Fullscreen”. I also deactivated the ingame FPS Counter. If you already have “Fullscreen” maybe try the other mode. Just registered here to write this in hope to help anyone else with this problem.
Didn’t work in my case. Tried different screen modes((
I am also getting CTD when I try to enter Straws’ house after talking to the guy in charge there, I forget his name.
I’m running no mods Ver 1.4.1 with the HD Textures Pack and HD Audio English
They have said they are aware of the bug, and a patch to fix it is pending. let’s all hope it is soon

Unfortunately changing my graphic settings just fixed the Crash at the “stroh” cutscene. After Talking to the bandit, game still crashes. So… hope there is a fix soon.
I have circumvented the crash. Knock the guard by the prisoner out. Pick the lock and pickpocket the prisoner. THEN start the pestilence quest. Help with burying the body and the will. Do not go into straw’s house. Go to Sassau and then complete the mission.When you get the prompt to ‘come back later’, finish questions and answers. To circumvent another crash, sleep and wait at the camp for about 2 days. Then finish pestilence. There is then no need to interrogate the prisoner and hence the second crash is also avoided. Make sure you save after handing in questions and answers. I had a few crashes here near marjhoed when going back and am uncertain if they are linked.
