Talmberg horse race crashing

So I’ve just finished the horse race, returned to Zora but as soon as I turn in the quest, it gets to the point where she gives me my prize for helping her and the game crashes to desktop. It didn’t do this on my last save prior to 1.4.1. I’ve done it 3 times just to make sure it wasn’t something at my end and it happens every time.

Anyone else having this problem?

Same problem.

Known issue, this is like the 5th post I know of about it, including my original from the day of the 1.4 release lol. No one can turn in the quests since 1.4, and 1.4.1 didn’t fix it. Just have to wait for next patch and see.

How do you start horse races guys ? I’ve not seen any horse racing yet

Thanks for the heads up guys. I just completed the race, but haven’t yet gone back to Zora - got side tracked with the poacher quest. I might hold off a bit with that last meeting.

Then again, I may try to complete it and see what happens. Will report back.

BTW: PC player here

EDIT: Horse race quest starts when you go back to see Zora in Neuhof,

Same problem

I made it through the horse race and received the saddle from Zora…no game crashing or anything.

Guess I’m lucky, haven’t had any quest breaking bugs at all.

Good luck guys!

It’s so strange how certain bugs only effect a number of players and not all. Unless you play on console and don’t have 1.4.1 yet?

Edit: didn’t see you’d put pc players on your previous post

Same problem - I’m glad it wasn’t just me. I have rebooted, turned up the GPU fans, etc. PC version here. I started the game prior to 1.4

Same here, game crashed during conversation with zora
Tried various solutions (different GPU, selling sattles in inventory and more)

Fix that worked for me: Took Zora’s Dappled Grey around their stall, put an arrow in its head and turned in quest with the winning horse being eaten by flies in their backyard…

Prior version 1.4.1 there was an issue with the horse just staying alive in whatever place I left it. I guess they tried to fix it by getting rid of the horse at quest completion/end, which results in this crash

Can anyone confirm this workaround works for them as well?

@warhorse Pls fix ur game

Yes this works! Thanks so much this been bothering me for days!

If you complete the game, and don’t hand in the quest, then talk to Zora after the quest has failed, Henry says the horse died in the race and Zora runs away and won’t talk to you anymore.

The funny thing is, I rode the horse next to her before I got off to talk, and she could see the horse was alive. The horse was alive after she runs away too.

This bug should have been fixed with 1.4.2 as far as I know.

I just did the horse race last night, after the 1.4.2 patch. Everything worked without issue. No crash, and I received the saddle as a reward.

I just tried this quest, with a fresh install, new game, and it crashes to desktop every time with the message “KCD has stopped working” I am on PC with 1.4.2. I tried it with, and without mods installed, made no difference.

I guess we are still forced to kill the horse in order to turn in the quest?

EDIT: Well tried killing the horse, it still CTD. Any other work around?

The quest works for me, but I believe the workaround was to leave the horse outside if the neuhof stable before talking to Zora.

I post the same thing I posted on another thread.

SOLUTION:
If Zora’s horse moves away to an area outside of Neuhof, the mission does not crassed and is completed. The key is Zora’s horse. Take him away from Neuhof Henry …

Thanks, I will try that.
