Seems like a problem with a corpse, I would suggest loading the save with a different charater and playing with that character for a while, avoiding this area

#

Wait until this problematic corpse despawns

serene sequoia Seems like a problem with a corpse, I would suggest loading the save with a diff...

I could try working my way to any corpses and destroying it with debug, you think that would work?

#

it would take a lot of time as I dont have much before the crash

dusk kiln I could try working my way to any corpses and destroying it with debug, you thin...

Possibly, though I might say its unlikely, because it looks like it crashes once the corpse is rendered

#

Meaning the moment you would see it, you would crash

#

And I do not think Debug has any options to delete corpses in an area, only specific corpses you can click on

#

You could try editing the sandbox options through debug and speed up the corpse despawn rate?

ill try this, I know they are already like 9 or 10 days in so it shouldnt be too long

#

I just zoomed out and I think I know which one it is

#

I might be able to sit around zoomed in with the decay rate maxed

#

I can use a seperate zombie to mark when its gone
