Game freezes when console commanding/taking Silt Strider to Balmora

Edit: OK seems the game freezes even when APPROACHING Balmora. Weird.

Hey guys!

Lately I'm having an issue where every time I try to travel to Balmora by Silt Strider or console myself there, the game ends up freezing.

Is this an OpenMW issue? I recently updated my version and am running the unofficial v0.42 for Mac OSX. Before this I definitely didn't have this issue.

I'm running a moderately modded game, but I don't think this is the issue as before this, it never froze in Balmora. Also, I disabled the mods I installed before this issue and they still happen.

Much thanks in advanced!
