The Bug List! v.2

Post » Thu May 17, 2012 11:01 pm

There is a well-documented problem concerning the MAIN QUEST. Specifically, the conflict is between "Season Unending" and an unfinished Stormcloaks quest (some encounter this with "The Jagged Crown," while others encounter this with "Joining the Stormcloaks"). You need to ask Ulfric come to the peace council for "Season Unending," but he just tells you to talk to Galmar (about the Stormcloaks quest, presumably). Galmar just tells you "I can't believe you convinced Ulfric to go to the peace council" (about "Season Unending").


I thought I was the only one with this "problem"... can't believe the MAIN QUEST is broken... my lv30 char... over 30 hours in the game and I can't even finish it. Now I started a new char and I won't join any faction until I finished the storyline.

I have been reading most of the bugs and I have encountered some bugs/glitches myself. I have been playing skyrim since November 9 (released earlier here in Belgium) and I am level 53 at the moment, having around + 170 hours played. I am playing the game on the PS3. I also work on the Skyrim Wikia and this is our link to all bugs encountered and reported:

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Bugs_%28Skyrim%29

Not Listed & Encountered

*When fleeing from a town (because you killed someone for example), even when you get out of sight and nobody is displayed on your upper bar (top screen), if you want to fast-travel or wait, you still get the message "Guards are pursuing you". I had almost run from Windhelm to Whiterun withouth getting the option to fast travel or wait even when nobody was around. This is very annoying when going for the trophy/achievement "Master Criminal".

*When buying the house in Windhelm and having completed the quests about the killer of the city, the remains, blood and other items of that quest still appear in the house, even when you bought all the decorations.

*When storing to much items in a chest/commode, when scrolling through the items it goes very slow to the point of storing an item, waiting 10 seconds and then get the option to store another. The same goes for retreiving items. It's like lag but not in the gameworld, but in a chest...

*Some people have the same dialogue as another NPC but this isen't wright. Example: Torbjorn Shatter-Shield of Windhelm says the same dialogue as Embry of Riverwood. "My favorite drinking buddy, let's get some mead" and things like that.

*The quest "Forsworn Conspiracy" in Markarth is totally bugged. Many people encounter problems while doing this quest. I myself can't complete it because the questgiver (Eltrys) is dead and the arrow points towards the Shrine of Talos withouth anything ever happening.

Already Listed & Encountered

* People and animals occasionally fall through the ground when they die
* When a Dragon is killed, it doesn't give his soul
* Lag and framerate issues after playing hour after hour
* Followers occasionally stand in the way when entering a small location (like a Falmer tent)
* Dragon corpses don't disappear and stay there for ever.
* Corpses of people don't disappear and stay there for ever.
* Quest items aren't removed when completing the quest (like Fynn's Lute)

But make corpses disappear not gives a point to the creativity of the game, you do not believe?

Favorites activation/deactivation not working. Cannot assign new favorites after patch, or un-favorite "favorited" items/spells assigned prepatch. This is the biggest issue for me...it totally makes playing this game unbearably slow to constantly go into the item menu/spell menu to change things. I can deal with all other issues with the game...but this one really breaks the game for me.

Just a clarification update on this. It's all items/weapons/armor that I cannot favorite. Spells & powers I can favorite/unfavorite still.

ADD major graphic shadow bug. I dont need to write about this isse, Instead, watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahhlY6uZXM8

Shadows in skyrim always teleporting from place A to place B. That's really annoying

This is fix for pc platform, maybe it will help resolve this issue on ps3.

add those lines to skyrim.ini under the display? section fSunShadowUpdateTime=0

fSunUpdateThreshold=0

A couple of game bugs I haven't seen listed (forgive me if I missed them listed somewhere) are:

1) When changing into a werewolf the game camera zooms in (in 3rd person view) to the point where you see your characters backside, and "some" of the right-hand side of the screen. This camera bug also remains after returning to default form. I realized this was a bug (and not just a choice by the developer) when I saw my werewolf from the proper camera distance. This only worked properly once, though.

2) World creatures spawning in and then dropping to their death - at times more than once for the same creature. I understand the game spawns in NPC's when you get close to them (to avoid population lag), or enter a specific area, so this ones a creature spawn bug.

Wasn't this game developed using a new game engine for Bethesda? If so, that might explain the state of the game currently.

Great Topic and thanks to the Author for making it.

Ive experienced most of the bugs mentioned before this post such as book cases not being able to be activated after adding or removing books, I get the shout bug alot where activating a shout doesn't always work, mainly on unrelenting force, but I did find when unrelenting didn't work, that if I sheathed my weapons it would sometimes work once my weapons was sheathed but thats not practical when your mid combat.

My strangest bug has to be an npc thats stuck and has been duplicated twice, Outside Whiterun Stables an npc by the name of Louis Lotrush got stuck so you could only see him from the waist upwards, his legs & feet are stuck in the ground and he is unable to move, the 1st time I saw this I just ignored it and hoped it would fix itself, but I recently noticed that there is now 3 npcs named Louis Lotrush that have the same name, clothes, face and so on, all three are stuck outside the Whiterun Stables, the original is still stuck in the ground with the other 2 just stood next to him, they stay there 24/7 and this had happened before the 1.02 patch. I Will try killing 2 of them later until all 3 have been killed atleast once with one left alive and see if anything changes and if so I will update this post.

The Following are Quest related:
Quest Name: Finn's Lute + Pantea's Flute + Rjorn's Drum (Bards College Quests)
Quest Bug: Still have the Items in my inventory after handing in and completing the quests.

Quest Name: Find The Copy of Brothers of Darkness (Quest giver is the Orc Urag gro- Shub at Winterhold College in the Library)
Quest Bug: I had already picked up the book before getting the quest and can't hand the book in to complete the quest. Can't drop the book and despite the cave it's supposed to be in having reset, a new book doesn't spawn in the chest it's supposed to be in.

I will post any new bugs that may occur and haven't been mentioned should I come across any in a new post as they happen, thanks again to the topic maker and you guys for giving your feedback which will hopefully improve the game in due course, im sure the devs will do their best to fix as much as possible per required patch, so try and be patient and keep reporting any bugs you come across. There was a patch on release day and antoher a few weeks later thats 2 in less than a month which is pretty quick, other games are lucky to see a single patch within 3-6 months so im sure the devs will keep plugging away, they want it as perfect as us if not more!

Update: Just left Whiterun and ran to the stables to find that instead of there being 3 Louis Lotrush's there is now 4, so it seems it's dupliucated him again.
So I decided to try and put them out of their misery, (after all their legs must be aching by now) only to find out they won't die, their health depletes but they get backup after a few seconds of kneeling, this is the same for all 4. No mention of his name in the strategy guide so im guessing he's not an important character but I could be wrong. Maybe if someone else comes across him they could try killing him and let me know if he dies or not? Save 1st though I don't want you getting a bounty on my account.

He actually does have a role in the story, one involving a horse named Frost, and he should be located at the Riften inn - not outside the stables of Whiterun. That's really weird.

1. Blessing of Talos doesn't provide any benefit. "Time reduced between shouts by 0%" According to the game guide, it should be 20%.

2. If in 1st person and wearing Hammerfell Garb without gauntlets/bracers/gloves, the hands are disembodied.

3. Radiant Story problem: Cannibal on the road acts as though player completed the Namira daedric quest successfully when the quest is either failed (assuming that quest occurs in the Hall of the Dead in Markarth, I don't know. I just killed the cannibal and it said quest failed) or not even started.

4. This is more of a dungeon design error. In Nchuand-Zel Control, the corridor with the ceiling spear trap has a placement error in which you can see the exterior of the dungeon. Don't know if these errors can be fixed via patch, but I shall inform you of such errors just in case.

I noticed last night the Blessing of Talos states 0% reduction for me as well.

There should also be a fix for when your stuck. I know this isen't World of Warcraft where you push a certain key to make yourself un-stuck again, but there should be an option. Because if you haven't saved in a while you're just screwed isen't it?

I once jumped off a small mountain in Skyrim and got stuck between some rocks. Lucky me, because a bear was in the area and therefore I couldn't use fast travel, use wait or use a shout like Whirlwind Sprint because it didn't even work. Let alone trying to jump or sprint out of my spot. I think I finally killed the bear by using Storm Call (bear couldn't be seen from my point, was to high in the mountains). But still this is ridiculous...

i post my bug and i don't know if it has been posted yet.

After patch 1.2 i began a second story with another character and the first bug i met is connected with the treasure of the secret map 1

In my first game before the patch i found the map possessed by bandits and reached the correct place. Found the treasure and loot.
In my second game after the last patch i got the treasure map 1 but when i moved to the right and the same location i found no case or box. It didn't appear so i was not able to get the treasure.

Hope to be helpful

I and several others I have read from on other websites cannot (even before the patch) sleep with our spouse. This means we can never get the lovers comfort bonus. I am not a werewolf btw and I have tried every hour of the day but my wife will never go to bed.

I also can no longer keep a horse I have bought. It will ONLY fast travel with me if I am riding it. It will disappear forever no matter where I am going if I do not ride it.

The patch has caused my ps3 to crash 4 times today alone while it had only frozen twice in the two previous weeks. It has been this way ever since the patch. I have also noticed most of the bugs listed above.

This really is unacceptable and will likely be the last bethesda game I ever purchase if this does not get fixed soon. It is a great game, but that honestly makes it that much more frustrating and I believe I will just be better off saving myself the frustration in the future because this is obviously bethesda's M.O. The only way I can see myself buying one of their games in the future is used about a year after release in the hopes that most of the major things have been fixed

My wife never goes to bed so I can't get lovers comfort bonus (i am not a werewolf). I cannot keep a horse because it disappears every time I fast travel. The game freezes up all the time now and I have noticed about half of the bugs listed above.


I doubt I will ever buy another game from Bethesda unless it is used and a year after release. That is only way I can be even remotely comfortable in the belief that I have a half-way finished product.

I believe I've encountered this bug as well. I came across a horse in the wilds next to the corpse of a bandit. I was able to take it without stealing and ride it to the nearest town, but as soon as I dismounted it ran away. I assumed this was natural!

Want to comment on the Shout bug. I had that problem after the 1.2 patch and strangely when I used a Stamina potion it worked (meaning I couldn't shout no matter which I chose or pressed the R2 when I had no Stamina left in my bar). Maybe it is thinking Shouts use Stamina now?

I'm so stupid, I noticed this before but didn't realise I was staring at a bug. Anyway, just confirming this problem for me too.

Glitches I've discovered:

Blood on the Ice Quest: After speaking with Wuunferth in the prison, when he tells you to patrol the stone quarter the next night, quest automatically updates that this has been done. Calixto then appears in Hjerim and does not leave; he can also not be killed.

Liberation of Skyrim: Battle of Solitude: Speaking with Galmar to begin the quest gives you the prompt to meet up with the rest of the troops; however, the quest marker stays over Galmar's head, he will no longer talk to you, and the troops never appear outside of Solitude even though the scenery changes to the siege. Solitude also closes and cannot be entered.

Quest items: Items such as Alto Wine and Giant's Toes are marked as quest items in inventory despite not having any quest related to them in the quest log, tends to clog the inventory and build up a lot of weight if not careful since the items cannot be removed.

Winterhold Guards attacked after fast traveling there from a different hold I had a bounty in.

More as I find them.

Actually there IS a quest relating to Giant's Toes for a Daedric Prince (i did it) so must be that "get item before quest got" bug like the Bard instruments.

Not sure if this is classed as a bug but it seems silly that If your over encumbered you can't travel on carriages, I had no horse as mine got killed so tried using a Carriage whilst over encumbered, payed the guy, sat on the back and after 30 seconds or so my character just got of. So I waited till morning and bought a horse and used that instead. Also you can't fast travel when on foot and over encumbered but you can once you get on a horse whilst still being over encumbered.

Ps Updated my post on page 3 incase you want to add extra info from it.

Hm, this has happened to my wife's character.
