Fix for No Player or Quest Markers After 1.8 Patch

Recommended Posts

PROBLEM SOLVED................... For me

 

I renamed the file map.swf from the following folder SteamApps/Common/Skyrim/Data/Interface to map.swf BAK After map.swf was removed or renamed my player and quest markers all returned...... All other icons are now in black and white with no color but major problem is solved....... I must have missed the colored icons mod because it did not have an accompaning .esp file to deactivate..... All other map mods now still work...... I am back in business........

 

Someone else pointed me to this fix but unable to give him proper credit as I've lost track of where I found it...... Thanks buddy who ever you are...............

 

Hope this works for the rest of you...................

Your problem was that you are using an old map.swf file. There was a new one released in the latest update. Just delete the old map.swf. No real need to back it up unless you have backed up an older version of Skyrim too. After that, all your map makers will return to the normal black and white, but you will have your markers back.

 

If you want your colors back, and your markers, I made a mod to do just that. Works with the latest update. [ http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26556/ ]

I didn't want to sit around waiting for an update to the other colored map markers, so I just made my own.

Thanks xEightballx...............................

 

Saw numerous posts the last few days indicating many people had this problem, initially no one could provide a solution........ Only stumbled onto the map.swf solution this morning........ Have turned off the automatic updates in my Steam account as this is the second time they have messed up a perfectly working Skyrim for me.........

 

Thanks for all you do..................... My Skyrim is very heavily modded and would not be nearly as good a game as it is without folks like you.........
