So, after years of peacefully playing Skyrim, I run into a problem that makes me actually
write a forum post.
Short description:
Whenever I try to cast a Ranged Spell, that crosshair appears. Looking in the menu, it is of course turned off, as always.
Only thing I can do, to get it to disappear, is to turn the corresponding option on and off again.
Until I (see above) try to cast a Ranged Spell.
Stuff I tried, not necessarily in that order:
- eliminating Mods: I'm now on a completely fresh install (meaning, copy of one I had on an external drive. That counts, right?)
- deleting Skyrim.ini (why not?)
- verified the integrity of game cache (or whatever it's called. Several times)
- tried modifying that option via .ini file. Joke's on me, "bCrosshairEnabled=0" means, it's already off, no?
- googling. for some hours, and I didn't find anything even close to that problem.
- also, the LOG-file ist completely unhelpful. Only some DLC related notes.
Some more, longwinded info on when it occurred:
(not sure how helpful, since it's now on a new vanilla save)
Since months, I play (uneventful) with the same mods -
including Requiem, which I now wanted to update to the latest version (1.8.2).
The manual warned about a possibility for the included helper-tool (the reqtificator)
in localized versions to not completely working correctly.
Since even the provided update didn't work for me (I'm not alone in this),
I changed my Skyrim to the English Version. (which worked for that problem)
I then started a new game, and noticed that whole crosshair thing.
Should the be there's anything I left out, I'll gladly provide any needed info.
If anyone has any idea what I might try (apart from complete fresh install via Steam, that's for later),
I'd be super thankful.
Thanks a bunch for reading :smile:
I'm also sorry for any language-related mistakes, I'm no native speaker.
