700RPS Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Has anyone had this problem and know how to resolve? I have read everything I can find on the subject and there doesn't seem to be any fix. After a fresh install of Skyrim and reloading all mods I noticed my character was floating about 2 inches off the ground just inside the Whiterun Gate. At first I thought the issue was I'd been playing around with the XP32 Skeleton mod and animations so I removed all mods and the problem was still there. It also seems to affect NPCs. Having tried everything I could think of I did a fresh isntall (no mods) and started a new game heading straight to Whiterun and found the problem was still there. Is this a glitch that I just hadn't noticed before - is there someway to fix it? Now I've seen it, it's driving me mad and I now notice it in other places as well - usually where there is uneven ground. I'll add some screen shots so you can see. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kniggit92 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Have you ever at some point had open cities installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
700RPS Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Never had Open Cities no.. has this been known to cause a problem? I'm going to try installing on another machine to see if it's hardware related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spleentor Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Suggestions >confirm that your data folder doesnt have any loose files being loaded that are causing the issue.make sure that your skeleton and body are compatible. could be an issue with the havok collision box on the player being positioned too low relative to the body mesh.could be the ground collider is too high relative to it's visual mesh.make sure you are not clipping in console (command is tcl) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoSxorpio Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If this is a fresh install, be sure that the only loose files in your Skyrim\Data\ folder are: InterfaceStringsVideosalong with a small list of .bsa and .esm, and .esp...all with "Skyrim" in the names. Here is a screenshot of a clean data folder: http://imgur.com/AEqw9q6 That does look like an issue with ground collider, so that would be a mesh. Meshes are in the Skyrim\Data\ folder. If they are loose, its not a clean game. It would also be helpful to other users in their will to give support to include a list or screenshot of mods that were installed, in the case that loose files can be linked to a mod, and possibly fix the issue in future attempts, if there are loose files floating.

700RPS Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 To Spleeter & Moto Both very helpful suggestions and some things I haven't looked at yet. Can I be clear that this issue only seems to occur on uneven terrain - I noticed last night also when climbing some sets of stairs but not all. On regular terrain and roads, streets and in houses there is no problem. With regard mods - this was a completely fresh install tested with a new game file - no patches or updates. All game folders and directories were deleted from the previous game and the issue still occurs. Assuming the issue is a collider or Havok issue - what is the best way to diagnose and fix the problem? I haven't yet had chance to read around the subject. I'm going to attempt a clean install on a different machine with a more powerful graphics card tonight to see if the problem is still there. I will post results with new screenshots when I can later. Thanks for your help so far - this is very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
700RPS Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Sorry.. thanks Spleentor ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
700RPS Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 So... after many more hours of re installation and going back to an old save file on a machine with an old installation before I knew what a mod was.. I have concluded that as unbelievable as it seems, the issue has always been there and I just never noticed :( Going to try buying the legendary version to see if by some fluke it goes away. Thanks for all your help guys.. unfortunately nothing worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
