Hi everyone! I played Skyrim for years with several mods and understood something about the game's and mods' mechanisms as well, and I generally resolved mod-related bugs by myself. Recently, anyway, I had a persistent trouble with the interaction (key "E" on PC). I think it can be related with Animations by Genebriss (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51554/), because issues started to appear quite after I installed it. My problem is that, sometimes, a follower (dogs too) stops to interact with me, i.e. when I type "E" on it, it doesn't open the talk window - FOREVER. No console commands such ase 'ResetAI' worked in any combination. It doesn't seem to be a specific trigger, since the issue doesn't reappear if I load an old save (for old, I mean before the issue appearance); anyway, it can affect a different follower in a different time. Similar bugs appeared on corpses (couldn't loot), and today on my room door in Candlehearth Hall (since I use RND, I need to sleep). No 'pcb' or similar commands helped. Deactivating "Animations" didn't unlocked the door too. Now, I have a backup save before the issues apperaed, but it's 2-3 quests before my actual progress. I have a very lore-friendly gameplay, so I can take days to end a quest (also, because I don't have too much time to play, right now), so I'd prefer to continue my game from where I'm now, if possible, with this bug resolved - or, if I need to load that very old save, to be sure that I will no more have this type of bug. I'm not a noob, so I'm not asking you "help, you must do something to me", but I would try to understand the possible underlying mechanism of a this interaction/activator bug.

For anything having this bug, try this: - In third person, open the console and enter "player.addspell 000f71d1" - Close the console and notice a slight darkening around your character - Open the console again and enter "player.removespell 000f71d1" - Close the console and your eyes should stop glowing.

So, you must right click on the Skyrim icon, select "Run with graphic processor..." (or something like that), then "Change dafault graphic processor". It should open a new configuration window. For me, it opened Nvidia cotrol center; in this case, you can choose which GPU should be used for the graphic-hungry apps. Be well. :laugh:

I report my experience with Windows 8.1, it may be helpful for some users: after updating to 8.1, Skyrim didn't load a savegame (looked like infinte loading, while normally took seconds, so I always needed to type Alt+Tab some times). After loaded the game, the fps was horrible, even whit minimal graphic settings (eg, using 'teofis' console command). Other games, like Shogun 2, didn't even open. After an hour of cheating on "compatibility options" (with no success), I discovered that, for some reason, Win 8.1 had decided to set the Intel HD integrated GPU as default GPU for all application, instead of the dedicated Nvidia GT650. I reset the dedicated GPU as default GPU, an the problem was solved. In conclusion, if someone had similar issues, this may be a way to fix them, especially if you're having it on a notebook like me (Dell Inspiron 15R customized). To set the default GPU, right click on Skyrim (or any other game/program with high graphic requirements, and choose "Launch with GPU..." (my OS is in Italian, so I don't know the corresponding message in English). In the second level menu, you should be able to open a control panel for setting the default GPU). This night (GMT+1) I'll take a look and add more details, an a screenshot.

Ok, I tried as described above and found the problem: the mod Decomposition (available on Nexus and Steam). It probably conflicts with WARZONES since WZ generally removes its corpse automatically after a few hours. I think that when WZ tries to clear the corpes, it doesn't find the ones I "buried" with Decomposition. Now that I disabled Decomposition Skyrim works well as usual. It's not the same problem of luke88, Hecklar, bluedoom138 and foxtrot3d, I think. Anyway you shall try to lower the sight distance in the graphic settings from the Skyrim Launcher. It helps even if you don't have WARZONES and does not lowers the quality (I took a screenshot with maximum sight distance and another with half of it - 8 stops - and they were identical).

Ok, I've just tried to play disabling ALL the mods and... it worked! :dance: now, I'll have to try re-enabling them one by one in order to understand WHICH causes Skyrim to crash. I'll make you know when I'm done. Of course I cannot simply continue the game after the "critical hour" because, well, all my weapons was from mod (not modded vanilla), my companion equipped items from mods (so now they walk around naked and armless) and my horse saddle bags disappeared with all my gold! :ohdear:

I've got the same problem too, or perhaps similar: 24h (in game) after the Battle of Whiterun, my game crashes, no matter if warzones, HD texture packs and other mods are anbaled or disabled (I made several tries with differend - and also very old - saves). I don't have problems with the hardware, but anyway also into a inn, also using "wait", at that specific in-game hour Skyrim says "goodbye!" Shall I start a new game? I wish I don't :confused: but I really can't find the problem.
