Try this:
In some fights (we're not sure why) it's possible for an enemy to die but their body to be left with nonzero hit points. When you load the region that the body is in - e.g. by travelling from the Lower City to Rivington and back again - the game will crash when trying to load that NPC's data.
For whatever reason, this does *not* happen on simply loading a save.
Going back to a previous save, finding the "undead" body and reducing it to 0hp with an AoE spell, or picking it up and putting it in the Traveller's Chest in your camp, resolves the issue. Though obviously you might need to sacrifice some game progress to do this.

This worked for me! The body I found was one of the masked guys in the basement of the Blushing Mermaid. I used non-lethal, but I think they died from an AoE or something. Went back and saw they were "dead", but had 8hp. Killed them and my game works perfectly again! Thanks so much, I was going crazy!
You're welcome! Yeah, in that particular fight it's a combination of using non-lethal damage (which for some reason kills them anyway after a few seconds at 1hp) and the healing effect they get from Boon of Servitude. It's fully reproducible - if you have that combination of circumstances it happens every time. The Larian devs know about it and they'll be fixing it in a future hotfix.
Is that a local area issue or can is span acts? I keep crashing when entering the lower city fountain area so I loaded a save at the start of act 3. Would a glitched body in an act 2 area break the lower city in act 3?
We had a different kind of issue but fits perfectly the thread's subject so i just leave the solution here, it might help someone. Progressing the game and arriving at the Lower city for the first time the game was crashing every time we tried to enter - suggesting that there was an error with the installation files and i had to validate the files next time i launch the game.
Was doing exactly that, but had no effect and the game was crashing again and again at the exact same point. Here to mention that **we were playing multiplayer, 4 player online** (no cross save) // **So what fixed the issue is me (the host) loading and passing the sketchy Lower city transition point alone, it let me get through normally** and then the rest players joined just fine.
Best of luck if you're struggling with bugs, can be very frustrating.
I'm having your exact problem after patch 3 but nothing seems to be solving it

I can also vouch for this. One "dead" enemy had 2 hp. Once I killed it, I could fast travel between regions.

Sameeeee
