ThD17gj692 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Can't Start "The House Always Wins VIII." After select dialogue to move onto "The House Always Wins VIII", lose player control (no HUD or reticule, unresponsive to any keys) and can only pivot character with mouse. Can regain control with console command "enableplayercontrols" but this will not allow me to start quest. Have tried using "setstage 0014788b followed by 0, or 01, or 10, or 80, or 200, among others. The command "sqs" returns: Stage 80:0 and Stage 200:0. Need a way to start this quest (on my first play through). Have the same problem with loss of player control when activate ED-E and when first try to enter Gomorrah. In those instances, the "enableplayercontrols" allowed me to continue play, but not in this case. Help will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazk Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) Please post your savegame and I will try to fix the issue (best before you talking to House). Edited October 18, 2011 by Blazk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThD17gj692 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hello Blazk, Thank you for responding to my request for help. Looked through my savegames and all of the ones after reporting to House following El Dorado substation have been written over. Have attached the earliest savegame available, but is before save Kimball. Although WIKI refers to "The House Always Wins VIII" as the next quest in my path, it may actually be "All or Nothing". I should be going to Hoover Dam to power up the Securitron army at the Fort, but at that point lose controls as stated. What tool allows you to read a savegame and analyze it for errors? How do I send you this file? Just received "Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file" when tried to attach my savegame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazk Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 You zip it and then upload it to e. g. www.mediafire.com.I use Geck to analyze the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThD17gj692 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Hello Blazk, Thanks for your patience. I have zipped my savegame and put it in Windows Live (just used it earlier today, that's why thought of it) https://skydrive.liv...csOEWGrS*6g%24. (As far as using FORUMS or sharing over the net, I'm a complete novice. This is only the second time I've shared a file over the net like this---hope everything works out.) BTW: The quest i need to start is "All or Nothing". WIKI lists "The House Always Wins VIII" as the next quest following "The House Always Wins VII", but "...VIII" does not respond to setstage command, whereas "All of Nothing" did. However, activation of "All or Nothing" via a trigger kindly sent to me by robert01 only got me to Hoover Dam. When tried to activate terminal only Mr. House's pictures appeared on the terminal and could go no further. Will be very interested in what you find. If can correct the loss of player control or come up with a good fix, believe many other members will be interested as well.

Blazk Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Site wants a login and after login the error:It appears that you don’t have permission to access My Documents.

ThD17gj692 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 No permission there. Therefore please use mediafire.com. Mediafire has a limit of 250 MB unless you pay. Windows Live has a limit of 25 GB and its free. I appreciate your willingness to help and maybe you would also benefit if you signed up for Windows Live. For the mean time, I'm unwilling to have another web account that I need to worry about, have enough on my plate, as they say. As for the game, ended up using "setstage" command in console to finish (suggested by robert01). Thanks very much for your offer to help, from the response my question engendered, obviously very few are capable of helping. I sincerely hope you will continue to be one of those who can and does. Best wishes,peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazk Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I do have Windows Live, but without permissions set correctly I can't download your savegame.Also mediafire is free and enough for a little savegame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
