Orphan13 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I have a game-stopping glitch happening. When I open chests in dungeons the container UI won't come up, my HUD disappears, and I'm essentially stuck in cinematic mode. I can look around with the mouse, but do nothing else other than go to the save/load menu by hitting escape. This first happened in Arkved's Tower and I fixed it by reverting to an old save outside the tower. Everything was fine for a while but now I'm in Darkfathom cave and it's happening again, and using an old save doesn't work. I haven't had this problem with any containers outside dungeons or with containers other than chests. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I don't know what's happening here, but try opening the console (~ button) and type: enableplayercontrols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphan13 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks for the tip. That helps by getting me out of the stuck state and back to the normal HUD but I still can't get into the chest inventory and the same glitch happens when I try to open it again.

Abramul Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Does the same thing happen if you open the console, click on the chest, and enter activate player ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphan13 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Activate player works - it opens up the chest inventory and lets me add/remove items like normal. If I can't figure out the root problem these two commands seem like a reasonable workaround, thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a messy script. When you use the activate console command you skip the OnActivate part of the script (I think. But it won't run.), so that could be the problem.

Orphan13 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 I'm using Harvest[containers] but I tried disabling that mod and still had the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I suddenly started having the same problem yesterday. No new mods installed in over a week. Only change was an upgrade to OBMM. I am currently looking into the possibility of that causing the problem. At first it would hang, then after a few seconds continue. I deactivated some mods and it seemed to get better. Now today, I checked a chest outside of a cave and the delay was only a few seconds. Then I entered an Alyed ruin and attempted to open an Alyed coffer. waited over six minutes and still nothing. Like you, I can look around, but not move. I allowed me to save and to exit normally. I'll keep checking this topic for answers. I f you find it before I do please post. Thanks Updated OBMM to newest ver - v1.0. Still has same problem. Also noticed that gates open very slowly too. Disabled harvest Containers (OMOD version) now chests work. But gates are still slow. Found it! Look up Animation Fixer by zBobguy. Applied his fix and the chest problem went away, reinstalled Harvest containers and all other mods I had taken out. Still worked. Also fixed slow gates and several other slow down problems. All Hail zBob, savior of Oblivion! :D EDIT: Merged your posts, please edit rather than double posting, thanks. ^^ - Switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
