iron vein does not give me iron ore when mining it.

[Ouyil]

Hello, the mining animation works when mining an ore, but the problem is that it does not give me the mineral, I am left waiting and the character just does the mining animation over and over again without giving me the mineral from the ore, try to mine it only hitting my beak against, but it's the same, please if you could help me.

I have had this happen many times in Skyrim.  Usually, all I have to do is back off from mining, and start again, trying to adjust my PC's position first.  It can take 2-3 extra attempts to find the correct spot to begin.  Mining directly with the pickaxe can sometimes be achieved by striking at different places on the vein, the 'sweet spot' can be very small, or non-existent.  I believe that this has something to do with the ground meshes interfering with the ore location, and the pattern repeats from game to game.  As an example, one of the iron ore deposits on the south wall of Whiterun's exterior, west of Nazeem's farm, has never allowed direct mining with the pick.

Is anything overwriting /Scripts/mineorescript.pex

A mod modifying the MineOreScript file should not be the cause.  This bug happens without mods as well.

Whatever the cause, for most players, exiting the ore vein with a movement key and re-activating it tends to work.
