Problem with the "Through a Nightmare, Darkly" quest : IV

» Thu Dec 09, 2010 9:14 am

I have run into a large issue involving this quest; Upon entering the dreamworld, everything is pitch black. At first I thought this was normal, and talking to Henatiar restored all the lighting, but then came the next issue; My character was completely invisible! That's right, entertaining in third person showed that my character just wasn't there, though I was still able to move.

This is definitely mod-related, as loading the game without any mods causes the issue to go away. Now, I need help in figuring out which mod this is. Here's my full load list, as taken from Wyre Bash:

Well, I've narrowed it down, and it's NOT one of these mods that's the culprit:

Anyone?

It would be easier for us if you subtracted the mods you've ruled out from the list, rather than giving us two giant lists. :lmao:

That said, try using Tweak Settings to disable the chameleon shader when you rebuild your bashed patch. Or maybe you did already, and you've got some chameleon junk equipped? Also try equipping stock armor & weapons, and see if the problem persists (don't ask, just try it). If you have OBGE, try disabling that next run and see if that helps. Otherwise, all I can suggest is to continue ruling out plugins.

Well, it seems like the problem was with "Purge Cell buffers"? Strange, has anyone who used that mod reported any similar issues? Could be a conflict.
