Dragonborn PC Version Bug List : V - Skyrim

» Mon May 06, 2013 10:28 pm

Have you changed the "uGridstoload" in your skyrim.ini to anything but 5? I had this same problem and setting it back to 5 worked, and was the only thing that did work. However, don't just go do this without doing research on reducing it; you could really screw up the save and have to either restore the computer or start a new game.

I am constantly CTD'ing since I've installed Dragonborn. This happens anywhere in the game and starts (it seems) as soon as the cultists show up to start the main quest. I've tried mods, no mods and even done a clean install to no avail. Previous saves prior to playing DB seem fine.

Specs:

Windows 7 64Bit
Intel i7 920 @ 4Ghz
Gigabyte EX58 UD5
8GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHZ ram
Nvidia 580GTX

Just as an addition, since some of the CTD causes are from ini changes, you may want to verify that you've been deleting My Documents\My Games\Skyrim gets cleaned out when you reinstall as well [at the very least, Skyrim.ini SkyrimCustom.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini].

you know anything about a fix for the second bug?

[UPDATE]

i found a fix and work : http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31113

Can you add your PC specs to your post?

Also, just to confirm, when you mentioned you tried playing with no mods and the game still crashed, did you start a brand new game from Helgen with no mods? (Some mods can continue to affect your save game after removing or deleting the mod files, even after reinstalling Skyrim. So starting a new vanilla game is the best way to confirm what's causing the problem.)

I'll add specs to my post asap.

I've started a new game and everything appears to work fine, however I haven't started Dragonborn on that save yet, so until I do I won't know whats causing it for certain.

What I do know is that it appears it's save game bloat killing my game and probally causing the CTD's. Prior to Dragonborn my save was about 9MB however since it's ranging from 30-100MB depending how long I am able to continue playing that save for before it stops loading.

So far I have been lucky and only encountered 2 bugs in Dragonborn. The first is known bug involving the inability to use the black books to return to Solestheim from Apocrypha. This is only an annoyance since the console allows me to return to Solestheim. The second is more severe.

I am using Calient's BBE female body mod Version 3.2.3 with it's textures & meshes , also my character is a Vampire Lord and is level 76, so starting a new game would take quite a while to get another character to this level.

While fighting Miraak his combat script will often not advance (this is not the same bug where he doesn't absorb the souls of the dragons). The bug is that he sometimes fails to whirlwind sprint away at all which causes the fight to not progress. I can work around this by simply reloading my nearest save and fighting him until he actually whirlwind sprints and then saving again just after. Rinse, wash, repeat, until the battle is done.

Another bug I have is described in the spoiler in Forsaken_69's post above mine. When it happens I see a tentacle bomb go off on my character. TGM is my work around for it, presently.

I have all up to date unofficial patches. My other mods are:

The Dragon King
Craftable Bound Weapons
Diamond Weapons
Dragonbone Weapons Pack
Morninghood Manor
Neaext Bromjunaar
Faster Vanilla Horses
LaFemmeLycana

All mods are clean and I'm using BOSS to help ensure a proper load order. I also manually check my load order.

» Tue May 07, 2013 12:47 pm

I was able to get the areas to load by deactivating w.a.t.e.r. I've lowered my uGridsToLoad back down to 5 from 7, and haven't had the problem since, even with w.a.t.e.r. installed again, so maybe it's a combination of the two.

I'm having another bug now though where I can't cast powers, and most spells don't have any effect - I'll cast candlelight, and the sound and casting animation will play, but there won't be a light over my head or anything listed in my active effects. Muffle is the same, and I can't use beast form or the ring of hircine to transform into a werewolf, or various utility powers from mods. Unrelenting Force works, and most of my other shouts, but the dragon aspect shout doesn't seem to have any effect. I was getting fireballed by hagravens but they weren't setting me on fire or doing any damage.

Bug:
After using one of the Black Books (happens on all of them) and getting ported to Apocrypha the camera gets stuck between first and thrid-person perspective. The cursor will only move sideways, not up and down and it is not possible to scroll in or out anymore.
- updating graphic drivers didn't help
- disabling mods didn't help
- using another savegame or character didn't help

Workaround:
Transforming into a Werewolf and Vampire while experiencing the bug in Apocrypha reset the camera into it's normal mode and "fixed" the bug.

Mod loading order:
JSwords.esp
Dawnguard.esm
HearthFires.esm
Dragonborn.esm

As an addendum to my previous post on this page, after using the tgm console command to get to Miraac, when I get to him he appears to be headless till after he is done speaking and I go into third person mode, when he regains his head. Problem is , after I knock him down he stays down, never absorbing the nearby dragon's souls and the quest never advances. Skipped past one problem only to find another.

maijor bug skyrim diplomatimunity coach dose not work work fine with harthfire & dawnguard

all mods updates and SKSE newest version

A suggestion, BootySweat: you should request a "Skyrim.ini" and "SkyrimPrefs.ini" copy in addition to everything else for troubleshooting. I have had many issues with Dragonborn that I never had before just by reverting a few ".ini" settings to default. Reviewing and troubleshooting using those files could work wonders for the CTD's, Freezings, and few other glitches that some people are having, just as they did for myself.

» Tue May 07, 2013 8:05 am

I'm having the same problem it seems some others are having, but with no luck trying to fix it.
After meeting Miraak for the first time his minions start blasting me to send me back out of Oblivion, but they stop and I'm left there on my hands and knees.

I've tried the following to fix it:
Re-installed Skyrim
Used the console command enableplayercontrols which allows me to be in a slightly odd-angled third person and read the black book to get back, but I can't play in first person (it puts me back on my hands and knees) and locks out all my shouts. I've also read that going into beast mode and back will reset this, but I am not a vampire lord or a werewolf, so no dice.
The Unofficial Dragonborn Patch

None of these options have resolved this major problem for me.

My mods are:
Dawnguard
Hearthfires
Dragonborn

My PC specs:
Alienware M17XR3
Intel Core i7-2860QM CPU at 2.5 GHz
8 Gb RAM
64-bit Wndows 7
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M
Resolution: 1920x1080

There is a terrible bug in this DLC, here is what I'm dealing with:

I'm currently in the quest line for Stahlrim with the blacksmith missing
I found the Blacksmith and hes not back at his home town
Now when I try to talk with anyone, no conversation options up....from any NPC

Anyone else have a similar issue?

» Tue May 07, 2013 10:19 am

Is it just the people at the Skaal village not talking to you? If so, this is a "feature" that annoyed me too. In order to talk to the Skaal villagers after the shaman has been killed, you need to take care of Miraak first. Once Miraak is dead, the villagers will resume talking to you. If the citizens of Raven Rock aren't talking to you, that would indeed be a bug.

» Mon May 06, 2013 10:16 pm

The [censored]ing Miraak bug, I can't finish the damn mob as he just teleports to the middle but NEVER absorbs the dragon souls, such an IRRITATING bug. FIX IT or I demand money back!

» Tue May 07, 2013 3:40 am

This is caused by mods. With vanilla game, it works; with vanilla plus unofficial patches, it works.

» Tue May 07, 2013 8:20 am

I am using vanilla and unofficial patch, doesnt work still. Waste of money!!!

» Mon May 06, 2013 11:11 pm

Then try without unofficial?

» Tue May 07, 2013 12:56 pm

After Installing DLC "DragonBorn" I got "Microsoft C++ Library Runtime Error", right now no one can solve this so i will write it here. I Used only SKYUI mod,but it doesn't matter because when i try to play without any mods still game is crashing. Now even if i try to play without "DragonBorn" My game still got crashes.

» Tue May 07, 2013 3:06 am

There's a http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1421930-c-runtime-error-mega-thread/ about that runtime error and it affects quite a few peple (but you already knew that). However, I don't think it's specific to Dragonborn as it affects also players without DLC.

» Tue May 07, 2013 12:15 am

Yeah i knew that, but I'm reading this thread and still doesnt find a solution...to this error. Just dunno what to do right now... ; ( I want to play, but any advice didn't help Me, so far.

Severe Problem.

Skaal Shaman not reading the Black Book.

I do not run any animation adding mods aside from a mage casing animation and two handed weapon drawn/idle animation. Neither require FNIS but I disabled those mods and tried again. No success. Updated and installed ALL unofficial patches. No Success. Fast traveled to Skyrim and waited 31 in game days. Went back to the Skaal village. Still would not read the book.

I have all the DLC and unofficial patches in the correct load order. The only other mods I run are armor/location/texture and UNP female body modifications.

Overcame this by using Player. setstage DLC2MQ05 700 to learn the third Bend Will word and then DLC2MQ05 1000 to complete Gardner of Men quest and start the next one. Frea is now the shaman though the old one still lives

Minor issue

Can't levatate up to see Neloth even with unofficial patches.

Overcame by TCL and walking up to him.

My specs: Intel i5 3550 CPU @ 330 GHz
64 bit Windows 7
With 1.9, which installed automatically yesterday, I can no longer Sneak. Left ctrl, when pushed does not change
icon. Also, since the 1.8, I often sort of hobble along. I can hear a limp. When I am talking to someone, it is as though
I am a 4-year old. They have to look down to make eye contact. I am a Redguard, so I am not short.
Sometimes, if I sleep a lot, I will "recover" But haven't since the 1.9 has been installed.
