Boy if a started to HATE this game.

I was hit by the buzz crash, after the double patch (One + Game) it was PERFECT so far.

Anyway:

So i'm f**k.

Whiterun don't exist in this moment (no icon of the city, the mission is not complete and so the city is not a city who i can fast travel...)

I REALLY hope that is one is a "timing bug", because the OLD Jarl is on run (out of the city looking for his new home) and i REALLY hope that after some hours in the game this one will turn normally.

Because i DON't have "auto save" before this disaster and really i can't stand to hear something like "use the previous save". It's tooo early in the game. Please.

I'm out of my mind right now.

Can anyone give me a tip?

Start other mission?

Sleeping and waiting?

Waiting is your best option in game. Doing another question might only compound the frustration by wasting more time if you can't fix the issue.


Console commands can be used to advance/complete the quest.


Also, this sort of bs is why I make a hard save every 5-10 mins and override my old saves when they are a few hours old. Nothing kills playing a TES game more than having to redo anot hour of gameplay.

I had to say that i'm made to myself even more than Bethesda: because (knowing this game) it was SOOO stupid by myself to play hours and hours without an hard save. Ok. Lesson learned. HARD lesson learned. "Stupid-Lazy-me" no more.

BTW the bug is HORRIBLE: if i try to start "The Fallen" i have the old thane in Whiterun! Sitting on his throne! Whoa amigo! I whip your ass two hours ago!

I think the save is broken. Baaad broken.

...

I will use the last hard save:

[i have 4 missions to replay]

FYI and for God Sake, during "The Battle Of Whiterun"

- Save Often

- Save before entering Dragonsreach

- Wait to ALL dialogues end.

- Be SURE when exit Dragonsreach (looking to go back to Palace Of The Kings) that the game is fine: with REGULAR music tone, not the "battle against enemies" music tone.

- Don't take a break to Breezhome for a pea but right away to the Palace Of The Kings.

This one is bad, trust me.

Sigh

your playing vanilla YES?

this is a bug ...what happens it the seasons unending peace treaty kicks in before you even get to it .......as far as Ulfric is concerned the war is paused and he wont give you the next phase of the war

I had the exact same problem on the PC .....this is how I got around it .....its a risk because of all the time you will have to put into it this method and it might not work OK

I focused on the main quest forgetting about the war

OBJECTIVE is to get Seasons Unending to play out properly, then you must finish the main quest and kill Alduin after that the war is back on and Ulfric will give you the next order

thats how I fixed the issue ...but I also have 50 game saves up my sleeve ...I have a habit of MANUAL saving after every 5 levels early on in the game and I MANUALLY save on every level up after I get past level 40

BTW if you are going to use a older game save ..........DON'T LOAD THE QUICK SAVE .......load a MANUAL save and only after you exit the game either to main menu or desktop, dont load a older save whilst in game because it wont reset things back to there proper state

the lesson is SAVE SAVE SAVE to live to play another day

Uh, wait a minute, i'm more confused then ever.

My goal is to play "Civil War" from start to finish without "season unending"

That's my second run on the game after playing the original one on 360.

Season unending (first run on 360) is a very long and boring mission imho, i have made my choice and i will run with Stormcloak.

If i play Civil War from start to finish i think i will not have to play "season unending", right?

("...Season unending only occours if the civil war still rages across Skyrim")

I was thinking that the bug was my run to Breezhome after the battle.

I really want to end the Civil War BEFORE act 3: i want to play "The Fallen" with the new jarl of Whiterun. Seems normal to me.

If i had to organize the meeting (bleah) i will organize the meeting...

But one thing for sure: i will SAVE SAVE SAVE.

EDIT: yes, i'm vanilla with no mods.

You might be well-advised to read the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Season_Unending

You may not be totally unable to finish - it looks like from a brief view that there are other possible ways to finish the CW. Now if it really is a bug, then you're only going to have one choice and that's to go back as far as you have to before the bugged save.

Whoa. My head hurts.

I absolutely want to obtain "War Hero" and "Hero of Skyrim" so i will make a "don't touch this saved check point" and i will start from there. If something will go wrong i will restart from there with another path.

Thank you very much everyone.
