Compass markers went nuts. What the...?

Post » Tue Jun 16, 2015 6:05 pm

Hi all,

First time here so don't get mad if I do anything the wrong way :smile:

I've been playing for a year (no mods) and there haven't been any problems until recently.

I know it sounds like I'm trolling but Unfortunately, I am not.

It started when I've noticed that the compass markers lead me to nowhere. I'd follow it during the start of a new quest, and it just lead me to a side of a mountain with absolutely nothing there.
I've selected a different quest from the journal (I usually focus on one quest at a time), but the marker lead me to the north end of the map (haven't tried to reach it).
I've tried a different quest, but again - it lead me to a door (a marker clearly appears on it) and when I got in it leads me out of it!

And now the REALLY FREAKY PART - the clairvoyance spell leads the same as the markers.
Yup. It leads me to a door, and when I get in, it leads me out.

I've uninstalled and re-installed the game (via Steam) and still.

By now I'm pretty desperate as I haven't found any such incident recorded online, any input would be really helpful.

Cheers,

Did you recently update your graphics card drivers?

Thanks, but no answers there. I've already looked.

I'm not sure. These updates usually occur automatically, but I don't remember anything like that.
My graphics card is the GeForce GTX 770, btw.
