Activation Key Bug (E by default)

[Corby3D]

(FIXED, just a load-order-thing)

 

Hi, I can't talk to Vex in the Thieves Guild at all. I have done the main quest, and working on restoring the guild. Came back from a heist job. Every time I press the activation key, or talk key (E by default) a generic sound plays (the same as the "wait sound" [empty clicking noise]) an nothing happens. I've tried everything! Killing her, disable/enable, placeatme, leaving the area, rebooting, restarting the game, and taking on/off, dropping an identity-hiding-cowl I've got and many more. Reloading an old save is not an option. Sometimes if i pick up several items from a table I tend to get the same bug, the "activate button" (E by default) simply does nothing, except from playing the noise. I've tried remapping the key, but it doesn't work. Help me, please :sad:

Do you have the creation kit installed and if so have you tried verifying the cache? This may fix script corruption in your game (but not necessarily your save game).

[Corby3D]

No, I've never touched the creation kit, and don't know what "verifying cache" means, what should I do?

Windows Vista, 7, or 8 users

Skip this step and proceed to the next one if you do not use Windows Vista, 7, or 8.

1. Completely exit Steam
2. Right-click on the shortcut which you use to launch Steam
3. Select "Run as Administrator"
4. Launch Steam again.

All operating systems - Verify integrity of game cache

1. Load Steam
2. From the Library section click on Tools, right-click on the Creation Kit and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
5. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.

"All files were valid" ?

[Sulhir]

And you've started a whole new game and gone to Vex and she still wont talk to you? No other actors seem effected?

 

Some people have reported that entering

player.tai

into the console fixed it for them. Edited April 6, 2014 by Sulhir

[Corby3D]

Whole new game? No, I'm doing this to "save" my character. And it's only her, yeah

[Sulhir]

If you have corrupted scripts no amount of repairing or fixing will save your character. Try reverting to an earlier save. When did this problem begin?

[Corby3D]

player.tai, hmm. I'll try

[Corby3D]

Thanks for all the help, I'll figure tings out from here
