Introduction
In this guide I will discuss some of the problems I encountered during the game, some of which made it almost unplayable

Special thanks to user enderdrag64 from the Discord server RedguardUnity aka Travels & Adventures
"Out of memory" error / game crash
In the transition between a locations or trying to "Search body" you may encounter this error, sometimes it occurs just during the game or when picking up some even quest items, which may not let you pass the game

Sometimes it can disappear after a while, after a bunch of reloads of the game, but most likely you will quickly help the following steps:

  • In the folder (game folder)\Redguard\sound, find the file DIG.INI
  • Temporarily rename it so that you do not lose it
  • After passing the desired moment where the error was → make a save → exit the game → return DIG.INI in order to return the sound

DIG.INI file is responsible for the sound in the game (except the music), but it is temporary switching off that will allow you to pass the unpleasant moment

PS. There is also a chance that this will be affected by the way you run the game (full screen or windowed), but for me it worked somehow very rarely
Crashing the game when loading a save / pressing Esc
I had this error at a later stage of the game. It most likely occurs because of the large number of saves, cause In my case, the problem was when I had more than 80 saves

For some reason, turning off the DIG.INI file for a while allows you to enter the game despite the problem (how to do this is written in the section above)

But instead of turning off the sound (except music) it is better to do so:
  • Saves are in the folder (game folder)\Redguard\SAVEGAME. Each folder SAVEGAME.0nn is your saves (nn – number of the save, the most recent saves will have the highest number)
  • If you need not only the last save, but for example at some point, then enter the game by turning off the file DIG.INI (how to do this is written in the section above), make the most important / key saves, so that the folders with saves have the largest number and it is easy for you to navigate
  • After that, put all the other saves into the archive (or wherever, if you need them), so that there are only a few left
  • And preferably rename them, so that they were with the minimum numbers, aka SAVEGAME.001 and so on
Stopping location loading at 95-96%
This error started to appear at the end of the game, on UESP there is a solution[en.uesp.net] (at the bottom of the page), but I will duplicate it here with some addition:

  1. Where are the savings I described in the topic above, BUT if you are not sure/know what the numbers on your saves → make a new one preferably before entering a broken location, so that the last folder was exactly with its → memorize the number
  2. Open an earlier save (if you have already been to this location, preferably after visiting), otherwise try to start a new game
  3. Open the console by pressing F12 → write the command load n.0.0 (n - location code)
    Here's a list of the ones I had problems with
    • 6 – Isle of N'Gasta
    • 2 – Catacombs
    • 28 – The main island after passing the catacombs for the second time
    • 30 – Palace exterior, aka the finale of the game (Warning: it may be better to write load 30.2.0, since the street may work well, but the building itself does not)
    I had no problems with the others, but just in case, you can see the complete list on the UESP page[en.uesp.net] (at the bottom of the page)

  4. If succeed aka location loaded → make a new save
    |
    If not → select another old save, if possible, or try to start the new game again → repeat point above /→ unfortunately, do this until it works (I could offer my working saves, but I'm not sure that your game won't break)
  5. Open the save folder → open the save folders where the location works and your main folder where it doesn't → find the .TSG file of the necessary location
    They are usually called the same, but here are a few points:
    • ISLAND – This is the name of the main island for all 3 options (day, night, morning)
    • NECRISLE – Isle of N'Gasta
    • EXTPALAC – Palace exterior, aka the finale of the game
  6. Just in case, rename the file in the main save (so as not to lose it) and move the file from the save where it works
  7. Now enter the game and check, everything should work

Ye on UESP everything is written more briefly, but I still decided to write some points, since some of my friends met some gaps
Stuck between land and water
It's not a very serious problem, but I have encountered it very often personally. The problem occurs when the character gets stuck in 1 place (most often on the shore) and begins to quickly and roundly change the type of movement from walking to swimming

If it happens on the shore, try to find the side in which the character will come out, and if you just spin but do not go forward, then try to keep pressing the jump. In a couple of moments, it helped me to switch to an attack pos, but still the option to go forward /+jump worked more often for me

For anyone struggling with Richton amulet delivery freeze. For me, the problem was in Unofficial Patch mod. I've disabled it, loaded the save and the cutscene went smoothly.

Hmm

Did you try to jump there, or directly into the catacombs using the console? (the location that comes immediately after the cutscene and a small fight)

Probably try "load 2.1.0"

Anybody seen a bug where the amulet delivery scene breaks? Cyrus gets transported into the palace, Richton walks out, but then he freezes in place and no dialogue starts. I didn't see this particular issue on the UESP Redguard glitches page, Google provided no information that wasn't on UESP, and I tried the dig.ini trick just in case, but to no avail.

@chris_fender10 if you mean that the location is not loading, try the code "load 2.0.0" (well, as indicated in the guide), if you mean out the door already in the catacombs, then you need 2.n.0 (where n is the ID of the place where you want to jump, look at the UESP)

I can give a guide on how to deal with depression, but I'm not sure if it works in 100% cases
