WiS 1.5 dark age wont open game

[Borborygmus]

i was upgrading from WiS 1.4. i removed all files, then logged into game to save without. i was planning on then logging out again, activating 1.5 and saving, as per the instructions, but i was unable to go into save the first time, getting stuck on the loading screen just past save file selection, where all you see is the random 3D image and the tips in the bottom right.

 

i dont have any clue how to fix this. ive tried putting 1.4 back on, ive tried 1.5 on and off. ive even verified my file with steam. i cannot get into game anymore. does this make sense to anyone?

 

please pm me if you have any insight.

 

thanks

You could try to load an old savegame and then load the one you want, this usually fixes errors like that for me.

i tried this, but then the problem recurred as soon as attempted to add WiS IV 1.5.

 

 

the creator says to do this:

 

1)delete all previous versions of WiS.

 

2)open game and save, then exit.

 

3)add new WiS with files you want.

 

4) open game and save.

 

 

i cant reopen any save files after i do step 1. i cant play the game at all now, i have to cntrl-alt-delete just to close the program which reads as not responding. i hear music, and see the myst flowing around whatever 3D image is in the load screen (werewolf, bloody orc, etc) but it just never goes into the game. im kinda pissed. not really sure what to do. i even redownloaded from steam, and it still doesnt work.

It sounds like the game may be looking for resources that aren't available once you've removed the old version of the mod. Try making a save in an interior cell. Also, if it adds any weapons or armors etc. to the game be sure to remove them via the console (they can't be on you, in your inventory, in a follower's inventory, or in a persistent chest) and then try to update the mod as described.

i removed all mods, and opened my games just fine. slowly readding mods, but WiS still doesent seem to be active.

oh and here is something else weird i just noticed. my character was wearing ancient nord armor, and now its gone. im still wearing visually, but my character has no armor on in the item menu, and the armor is no where in my inventory.

 

this is the only tangible change in the game since adding WiS 1.5

after some tinkering , i have found that at least the spell knockdown feature is active. this is great to see, some evidence that the works in some way.

 

i want to ask about blood coins .esp. the creator says to put it last in your mod list in NMM, does he mean last after all mods you have in total, or just last in the list of WiS files?

 

i have been putting it as the very last file, even under non WiS files, and it seems that the biggest absent feature is the increase spawn times and weirder spawn types. (im still only seeing bandits, and when i do, never more than 1-2)

 

tho, i did notice that slaughterfish are way huger than normal, but other animals are the same as they always were.

 

honestly, if i could just remove all other parts to all other mods i would. WiS dark age is all i really want. i love it when it works.
