Mekii Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) It might actually be FNIS that may be the cause in this case, at least for the crossbow (and perhaps for the gargoyle issue too). As far as I know and seen in the forum and elsewhere, FNIS have caused various of animation bugs with the 1.8 patch. Not sure if they have made a FNIS-Fix yet, but removing FNIS completely have solved various of animations issues. So, yeah, try remove FNIS and see how it goes.

melikeblunt Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks for the input Mekii but unfortunately i was having these problems before i had even installed FNIS as it has only been installed on my system for a few days and i have been having these bugs since i acquired dawnguard several months back. also when i was looking through my animation files i noticed there isnt even a crossbow animation file. this was before and after FNIS, is there someway to seperatly download these animation files without the use of FNIS?

Mekii Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Have you tried to verify the cache with steam? If files may be missing it might restore them. That is what I can come up withat this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melikeblunt Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Again unfortunately i am not running the game through steam, i bought the game in-store via disk :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaldir Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Physical copies still requires activation through Steam, apart from in specific geographical areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayot84 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Dude I got this problem too, I have tried removing the default file for a fix but that didn't work. Then I noticed my horse combat wasn't working. I fixed this problem by removing all mods that used any version of FNIS before 3.0. The problem you and I have is because your DLC was not downloaded through Steam. I've made progress by unpacking all the Skyrim BSA's (I did it by using Fallout Mod Manager if you don't know how) and then manually overiting all animation files related to crossbow and default animation. Now all I got to do is find the right configuration of animation files. Edit: make sure you have the latest update Edited December 9, 2012 by Tayot84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodKingVivec Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 i have this problem too. fixed the problem of the crossbow by deleting the characters file and re-extracting it. i tried it with gargoyle and v lord but didnt work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BravoOskar Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 So the FNIS could be causing an animation bug in my so that my followers don't use weapons and don't attack or attack but don't holster weapons anymore and then just run around enemy without even touching them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodKingVivec Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 sounds like fnis causes more problems than it fixes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
