save file is bugged, please help

Post » Wed Jul 31, 2013 1:38 am

Hi. I was playing Skyrim , I saved my game and on the other day I launched Skyrim and loaded that save , but it seems that it was bugged : I can't move, can't use weapons or jump, can't open inventory,magic spells, can't shout,the "F" key doesn't work , also "TAB" does not work. I've tried some console stuff like "getquestcompleted " or "coc riverwood" but it won't help,my character does not move . I can only open console and menu (with ESC) other keys just don't work. , I can look around with mouse, but can't use attack . I'm pretty sure that the save game is bugged cause I've started a new game and it worked just fine . also reloaded my older save files and they worked too . I reinstalled skyrim but it won't help.

P.S. I was completing quests of Dawnguard DLC .

NEED HELP .

There's probably not much you can do except delete that save and use another one that works. Hopefully you don't lose too much playing time.

There is no way to directly edit, clean or debug Skyrim save files.

I have had that problem before and exiting the game and relaunching fixed it.

Sometimes saves become corrupted. There's nothing you can do about it other than loading up an earlier save and playing through everything again. It's not an unusual thing to have happen with Bethesda games unfortunately. All of them end up with corrupted save game files from time to time.

Did you happen to have any problems with slow scripts? Scripted events taking long to occur etc.?

Try opening that save file, and just leaving the game for a while. As in a few minutes. Then come back to it

Also, where exactly were you in this save file? Had you just left a room or was it in the middle of nowhere?

And you tried just leaving the game be for a few minutes upon loading that save file?

Do you not have some other save file from a little while before or did you delete them all?

You didn't happen to have any console commands active when you saved, did you?

I rarely use console commands and I'm pretty sure I didn't have any commands used when I saved the game .

You mentioned that you can still access the menu. Try going to the 'Controls' menu and reset the controls (hit the 'T' key). Also, did you do anything to your .ini file? And make sure all options for a Xbox 360 controller are set to 'off' in the menu.

It reeeeeally seems like your game is trying to do an event that won't let you move or wait in game, such as a scripted dialogue or some other scripted event, but it's taking very long, and you're stuck in that limbo state. I've had it happen to my game before when I exited Apocrytha and a scripted dialogue was about to take place. The exact same thing happened, but after leaving it for a while the dialogue started and the thing was over.

I hate to say it, but that save file is probably corrupt, and you have no choice but to use a previous save.
