Shiiit that sucks! I hope it gets a fix soon, I want to move on with my Astarion playthrough and I am also scared to start a new run... in case it will happen to that one too.
I experienced this today as well on my PC honour mode run. After clearing the goblin camp and knocking Minthara out, any long rest will crash the game prior to it saving. As of now it seems I am stuck unless I go back and kill Minthara (assuming that fixes the issue). Hoping for a fix soon, otherwise I have to proceed without Minthara.
You might have another issue then. It seems most crashes are from knocking out Minthara, then long resting. There's been two hotfixes and no solution yet. I'm holding out on long resting in my honour mode run and went to the underdark instead. If the next hotfix doesn't fix this issue or doesn't come within a day or so, I'll just kill Minthara and report back here if I can long rest without crashing. Really sucks for people wanting to recruit Minthara, but I can't wait too long on a fix that may or may not come.
Same here. Minthara is knocked out and the game kept crashing trying to long rest. I saved in camp because I didn't want to keep doing the dialog of Wyll and Mizora, so now my game is completely unplayable since I can't fast travel out of camp and if I complete the long rest, the game crashes. This is my honor mode run :'(
Okay so I have found a solution if you want to recruit Minthara but you're crashing on long resting. It involves not long resting until you get to Mountain Pass. That way you skip the tiefling party or whatever cutscene you have in act 1. Long rest at Mountain Pass. The game won't crash there, then you can proceed to Moonrise Towers and find Minthara there.
It can be a bit tedious, but just respec with Withers to get most of your spell slots back.
Awww but the tiefling party is so fun! I hope they just do something about this in the next patch. I’m playing on PC, and I’ve made Minthara temporarily hostile by stealing something in front of her before knocking her out. I haven’t had an issue with crashing so far. Playing on balanced mode.
