Dkboy24 Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Hi all, I'm all of a sudden faced with a rather odd torch glitch. Issue: When I equip/ unequip a torch in third person, my character does this type of "scoop" animation. Almost like I'm picking something up off the ground in a scooping fashion. When I'm in first person, my character just freezes. I can look around in first person view but cannot move until I zoom out to third person. When I unequip the torch, my hand is stuck out as well like I'm holding it out but with nothing there. If I unsheathe/ sheath my weapon this will fix this issue. I use torches a LOT so it is a rather annoying bug. The only thing I can think of that I did differently was install a mod named "Lock overhaul." I could not think of a reason why this would do this but just in case, I followed the un-install instructions from the mod author and removed it, but alas, it is still doing the torch bug. I'm lvl 24 and it has not done this up until now. Now here are some more details. I was in Ysgramor's Tomb as part of the last Companions quest and about half way through, I pulled out my torch, my screen froze for a minute, and I was teleported back to the beginning of the dungeon. I shrugged it off as just an odd occurrence but since then I noticed the torch bug. Problem is, all my quick saves and auto saves have all since been erased with new saves so I can't go back to before the strange "teleport" to check it. I did however check another character and no problems with the torch, so this is character related. I rolled back to a previous save with the same character (lvl 19 save) and it was fine. So something happened when I "teleported" in that dungeon and now it seems my save is corrupted. Any thoughts on this?
Dkboy24 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Posted September 11, 2013 Well...after hours of online searching with no luck.. I was able to fix this on my own. First of all it had nothing to do with the mod that I just installed as mentioned above. I'm actually not sure what the root cause was, but I tossed all torches I had in my inventory out. I picked up a few brand new torches and it worked like normal! No strange animation. So if anyone has this same bizarre issue, just get rid of your torch and get a new one. That worked for me at least :)
