Dawnguard - Can't talk to Durak

[UrgeNexus]

UPDATE: With the right timing, I managed to select the relevant conversation option in time, once I had gotten the quest. Durak walked away as if nothing was wrong, no glitching, he seems fine for now. I am going to head over to Fort Dawnguard immediately and see if I encounter any more problems, or if this issue is less serious than I thought.

 

UPDATE2: Everything worked fine at Fort Dawnguard, I got the next quest with no problems. Durak also seemed to be fine, he let me talk to him and gave me a crossbow. For the time being, all seems to be well.

 

I've encountered a weird issue that I've never had before. Durak, the Orc who approaches you about joining the Dawnguard, is simply broken. He walks in place, or rather, he takes a few steps forward and is then teleported back to his starting position, this does not stop. Trying to talk to him results in him saying a line, then getting teleported back to where he was when he started walking, which breaks the conversation. In short, I can't talk to him.

 

Now, there are other ways to learn abotu the Dawnguard, such as comments made by Hold Guards. Thing is, if this is going to be a problem with the rest of the Dawnguard, it'll be unplayable. Are there any known mod conflicts or bugs that could cause this? I'm at my wits end trying to fix this, I haven't had this problem at any time and all of the mods I have that affect the Dawnguard have worked flawlessly on my last playthrough. The only change I've made after that is remove some mods that I didn't need and start a completely new game. If someone could help me, it would be appreciated beyond what words can describe.

well does anybody know what scritpt is guiding him? I am thinking of deleteing it and doing a check from steam to make it a new

You should probably get the unofficial patches and say goodbye to encountering weird vanilla issues or looking around for one off patch esp's.

[QaxeIsKaze]

I have the Durak respawn loop glitch, but I already have all of the unofficial patches (except HearthFires, because I don't use that DLC). I've even started a new game twice to check if it was my game-save. I have also reinstalled Skyrim, NMM and all of my mods from the "bottom up" and Durak is still tweaking hard. I've tried killing him, but he respawns good-as-new, full health, and I get a bounty of course because he's in the Riften Crime Faction. He's just broken and it completely destroys my focus on the game. I could remove DG completely, but it shouldn't come to that. Here is my load-order in case anyone has ideas.

[QaxeIsKaze]

My personal wish is to just figure out what is breaking Durak so that I don't need to resort to console hacking in the midst of game-play, but... console hacks that worked for other people were...

 

1. Open console, click on Durak and type TSCR then waiting for him to un-stick and typing TSCR again.

 

2. SETSTAGE DLC1VQ01MiscObjective 10
