Time Scale issue - Time keeps moving way too fast!

[Kelenloth]

(I have Direct X version 11 if it matters)

On my main character's save game, the "timescale" keeps being randomly set to really high, absurd numbers like 205, 120, 810, etc. that makes time go by WAY too fast. I have been resetting the timescale with the console to either 20 or 5, but every time, no matter what I do, I'll reset it, walk a few paces, and check it again, and it will be bumped back up to like 105 or something. This started, as far as I am aware, when I first turned on the Dragonborn DLC. I have other mods, but I've tried deactivating all but the official DLCs and it still happens.

The odd thing is, I tried it on an old low level character I abandon a while back and it does NOT seem to be happening to him. So I'm afraid something has happened to my save game.

Is there ANY way I can fix this without going back to a REALLY old saved game? I've finished the Dragonborn main quest like (and a lot of the other extra content that came on the DLC) and I am very happy with my character and would very much hate to loose all the progress I've made since I noticed this issue.

 

PLEASE help!

I am having the exact same issue! It all started after I bought the dlc it seems which was just recently. The night seems to be normal but as soon as daylight begins the time just speeds up ridiculously. It goes from 20 to 220 to 420 to 820 I've seen it reach 1520 in a matter of 30 real time seconds. Then, even stranger, it seems that it reaches a point about 2am ingame. And the timescale goes back to the default 20 and things are normal. But as soon as I walk a little bit or wait a couple hours or fast travel or something, it speeds up again and I can't control it. No ini tweak or consol command has been able to fix this godawful issue. Hopefully someone out there has some clever ideas because I am stuck :/

Problem

As you described.

I encountered that bug too. Not fixable with mere console commands (AFAIK).

 

I don't know what caused it. It's just on one character.

I use the same mods/setup for both characters.

 

Reason

It occured after installing official DLCs (+Unoffical Patches and adapting my Vanilla Mods to the new DLC).

So it's hard to tell what caused it.

 

Solution

I know this sucks but: Back to an old save. Did help for me. Was lucky, the save was a very recent one. (Might consider starting an autosave plugin that hard saves - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/34842//?)

 

Theorycrafting (pure speculation)

I have no idea what fiddles with time. The only thing that comes to my mind is Falskaar. The scene when you are traveling from and to the island with Wulfs Boat. The clouds and daytime will change rapidly there. This scene MIGHT fiddle with timescale. Maybe this happens too when you fast travel or do something else.

Then again my character has the Falskaar Mod but wasn't even there in this game.

 

I highly doubt that Falskaar is the culprit. This serves as an example. The mod is amazing and works pretty well. I wrote this to give you an idea where to start and think.

[vlaka]

hard to troubleshoot without a mod list and ini files.

 

Only other thing I can think of is not playing a legit copy of the game...

[Brandonhortman]

I have 100% legal copy of Skyrim. I'll post a video soon

I'm having the same problem, and using all DLC but I'm also using Climates of Tamriel, not sure if that's perhaps changing the timescale at all?

all tho this is an old thread.....

 

Since everyone should be using Wrye bash...when Rebuilding the Bashed Patch...in the section "Settings Tweaks" the last option to tweak is the time scale. you can set it to what you want.

 

I have always set time scale in the Bashed Patch, i use time scale 8.
