Did 1.4 fix the Markarth Guard Glitch?


SubjectProphet

Recommended Posts

I downloaded 1.4, got my lag problems dealt with, and everything is fine.

 

Except Markarth.

 

I still get the glitch, so either 1.4 didn't fix that, or my computer is to stupid to figure out what the patch did.

 

Help here?

I'm assuming you are speaking of the infinite dialogue loop...

 

Well, I had this glitch/bug a few weeks ago and I was looking for a "fix"... and found out that it was supposed to be fixed in the upcoming patch. Only problem was... I didn't want to wait a few weeks for the patch before I could go into Markarth again. So I kept searching... there were a lot of possible fixes that seemed to work for some, but none worked for me.

 

I finally I found a solution that worked though: Went to the shrine of Talos [sneaking at night to avoid guards, though apparently you can type tdetect in the console to toggle detection off (and later back on) ] and found the dead guards that I killed early in the quest, used the console command to get the ID of a dead guard [had to try two of them because the first one didn't work (was not the right kind of guard?)], used the console command to resurrect the guard using his ID, and then used the console command paycrimegold on him.

 

I keep meaning to load up a save game from before the patch, just to see if the patch fixed the problem... but I have not bothered, so I can't give any insight into whether the patch actually fixed it.

 

 

Apparently, you may also be able to find certain guards that are slightly different than the others, and paycrimegold will work on them, instead of having to resurrect one of the dead ones in the Talos shrine... and of course, if you didn't kill the guards in the shrine, you obviously don't have to resurrect them.

 

 

Aaaand, sorry I have not given step by step instructions, I don't remember them off the top of my head... but there are plenty of places to find the console commands and how to use them.

Update:

 

I reloaded an old save, because I was curious enough now...

 

The 1.4 patch did fix it for me. I went to Markarth and the first guard that ran up to me said I was under arrest... the only options I got were "fine, take me to jail" and "I'd rather die than go to prison", there was no, "I'll pay the fine" option... But when I chose the take me to jail one, sure enough... they took me to jail, and all was groovy after that.
