Xycote Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hey There. Not to sure if this is the right place for a super annoying glitch notification. So I'll cut right to the chase. Every time I attempt to do the Dawnguard dlc I get this super annoying glitch. WARNING SPOILERS I free serana from her tomb and take her back to the vampire castle, she does that dialog where she thanks you for saving her, and then the old guy opens the portcullis gate. When I go to enter the main hall the giant wooden gate that lets you in doesn't open. I cant activate it. I have tried unlock, tcl, reloading a save that I had before I even was approached by that orc, the only thing that seems to work is "coc dlc1vampirecastleguildhall. but then a new problem arises ..... I can get out but not back in because the main gate still isn't activating. END OF SPOILERS I did a bit of net searching for a possible fix - the only thing that came up was uninstall Dawnguard load into your game clean save and then reinstall dawnguard - I tried it, it does work, but if I start a new character and want to do the dawnguard quest I have to uninstall dawnguard then reinstall dawnguard. This for me isn't a good option because over half my mods require dawnguard to work. If I uninstall dawnguard I have to uninstall all my mods and then reinstall them all again - everytime I want to do the dawnguard dlc, I don't have enough modding experience to even know where to begin fixing this, so I was hoping some of you more experienced or skilled modders that have run into this problem or know how to fix it would be able to create like a bug fix patch. It would be much appreciated!!!! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daventry Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) This is a Major Bug that not even the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch can fix, it happened to me aswell, the Sad thing about this is, you Must Restart your Game and under No circumstances do you go anywhere near Castle Volkihar Until you free Serana. So sadly my Friend, your Screwed. The Only thing that a Modder could make for you and me and anyone else is a Mod that puts an Invisible Dome around Castle Volkihar until you free Serana, then the Dome should go away and your good to go.

Make a new savegame with Dawnguard disabled. Then enable Dawnguard and any mods that rely upon it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
