BrazenbadgerII Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm a bit new at these forums so forgive me if this question is... well, dumb. But it's a bit complicated, at least to me. I realize this isn't ideal diagnostic info, but thought maybe someone might have encountered the problem. Anyway, basically, when I first started messing with mods I started on xbox with a mage play-through, when I started getting this bug where my summoned atronachs would despawn apparently randomly. I didn't have many mods running so I kind of figured it was some problem with Ordinator, or possibly the spell Ocato's Recital from Apocalypse, as it seemed to happen most when I was just entering combat, and since xbox didn't allow much mod room, I didn't have much else loaded that I thought it could be. After searching at the time I couldn't find an answer and scrapped the play through. Subsequently I saved up my pennies for a proper gaming PC and have never encountered the same bug with mages, Ordinator, or Apocalypse... until recently when the same thing started happening. This time I came across posts about the absorption conjuration bug, which was the only bug or glitch I could find that sounded anything like it. But, to my confusion, the Unofficial Patch, which is supposed to fix that, didn't. Also, I didn't have any absorption powers and it would happen against wolves and bandits which I wouldn't think had such either. And getting frustrated and not being far into that play-through I ended up scrapping that one, again. My question is, does anyone know what this bug is and how to fix or avoid it? Encountered anything like it? I'd kind of like to use a mage for a playthrough of Legacy of the Dragonborn, but now I'm kind of gun-shy about playing one with Ordinator/Apocalypse even though I've done so without problems several times and I can't even say for certain it's due to those, for fear of having to scrap another game.

ConleyGood Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hey Brazen, I've had the same problem and I'm 99% sure it's ocato's recital. It was working fine the whole game up until the College quest where you clear Labyrinthian. Now, everytime I enter combat Ocato's activates and my summons despawn. From what I've read it seems to be something to do with spell sequencing when using ocato's recital, but currently there is no fix I know of. I haven't tried this yet, but you might try using Imperious - Races of Skyrim and play as an Altmer. When you get the quest reward power Contigency it's basically a better version of Ocato's recital and I haven't heard of any summons glitches. Not sure how much this helped, but good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is the case for you, but when using Ocato's Recital I had the spells Ebonyflesh, Soul cloak, and Salamander Skin(Fire cloak from some magic mod). Because you can only have one cloak active at a time the game glitched and was likely dispelling the fire cloak and in the process my summons? As soon as I changed the fire cloak to a non-cloak spell(I assume the glitch would also happen if you had two armour spells), the game fixed itself and my summons no longer despawn. In summary, the fix that worked for me was making sure Ocato's Recital used three different types of spells: Ebonyflesh, Soal Cloak, and Regeneration(A healing spell from a mod). Not sure if this is your situation, but it fixed my game. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
