Dawnguard Problems

[Rhexus]

Hello Nexus Community!

I've bought Dawnguard today and already had some problems starting it.

I had to use steam to check for missing files and to my surprise there was one missing.

 

Now everything works fine i thought but no, it is not.

 

I can't fight from my horse's back and i can't use my crossbow properly because on both cases my character start to stand there as a ragdoll (such like a manekin) without any animations :wallbash:

 

Mods used: CBBE Female Big Bottom

Apachii Hair

Black Sacrament Armor

Lich King's Armor and Frostmourne

Slighty Mighty Dragons

Vampire Fix (to make vampire look paler)

Vampire Upgrade

Werewolf Upgrade

AIKhajiit Companions and

Barenziahquestmarkers

 

Someone else with the same problem and/or a solution for this? I would be very grateful for help :(

So it worked finally after deleting my meshes folder but now another more amazing bug accured:

In the quest where you have to corrupt that priest i did everything the quest wanted me to do but all he keeps saying is "i don't fear you" or " i won't help you" " you are a disgrace for tamriel" or something like that and thats it, he does nothing else

Well. i saw no choice but to skip the quest via console-command...

Still i found myself on another vampire quest where i have to do the same thing again as i have to go to markath and turn a NPC into a vampire. I can use my vampire abilities to feed on her and nothing happens, i cannot complete the quest...

 

Still i want to ask people with the european version of the game here:

Do you have the same or similar problems just like that?

Do you have mods installed yes or no and if so, which?

Are their any others bugs you noticed?

 

I would be grateful for some answers or even solutions because it seems Bethesda just sold us another bug - and wait for patch - adventure... :wallbash:

I'm having animation problems as well. The mannequin pose occurs only occasionally and for a short time. The major problem is sheathing and unsheathing and the left and right mouse buttons sometimes won't do their job (i.e. I can't attack with the mouse but if I remap for some keyboard button, it works), but they do work in menus. I don't remember having these with 1.6. "Unsheathing" a crossbow looks like this: the bolt appears instantly in front of my character while the crossbow is still on my back. Interacting with objects like forges while having my crossbow out will result in a failed sheathing attempt. It finally works after a few tries or manual sheathing.

 

I tried to rename the animations folder to see if it conflicts with running/walking mods --> Nope

 

I have a quite a few mods installed but I doubt it has anything to do with those. They are mostly textures. I think it is a patch 1.7 issue.

Well i reinstalled skyrim today with deleting all files of course and tried it again. Still , even without any mods i have random bugs in my game :/

 

PS: I started with an argonian to check if new characteres are getting the same issues and i ask: is it normal that argonian have no block animation while walking in third person?

Sadly, this sort of thing is typical for Bethesda. You have a few options.

 

1) Fix the game with mods or wait for modders to fix your game for you.

2) Ignore the bugs and skip over defective quests with disable/enable and setstage commands. Use additem to give yourself items you can't otherwise properly acquire.

3) Give up playing in disgust (this is the option I assume is the most popular).

Oh bother, I was thinking of getting it tonight, but after reading this thread I think I'll wait until the bugs are fixed.

 

Do people who don't have any mods installed have problems?

 

Any guesses as to how long it's likely to be before Bethesda patch it?
