killmove/enemy death bug

[SdunnyW506]

now this isn't the fault of DoD, but I have nowhere else to try and really put this.

 

Is anyone having a BUG where enemies DON'T DIE ON TIME WITH KILL MOVEs? (and I don't use any killmove mods)

 

for ex: I had a case where I kill moved a falmer. then he got back up with no damage done. this repeated 5 more times (at that moment) with the same enemy. Didn't die. changed around weapons and mods etc, still no luck.

 

other examples: troll is kill moved, lays on ground for 3 to 4 seconds in death animation with health bar still there, then dies.

 

Overall, is this a killmove bug or just I am having a bug where the game takes a few seconds more to transition an enemy to a 'dead' status after all health eliminated?

 

oh and these problems are very recent, i.e. since around the latest patch came out

 

thank you

also, I believe I have found the source of the issue. this isnt meant to discredit this mod maker, but SM Essential Kills mod seemed to be throwing off the game a bit. first time having issues with this mod, will continue to test. after I removed it had no more issues. will keep advised. I have informed SM kills mod author

Aye, it might be the mod you mentioned, if it's not patched to latest game version, bugs will occur.

actually now unfortunately after further testing I came across that this mod doesn't completely end it per se... but maybe the save is now corrupted due to the changes?

 

in general I have heard that there has been some killmove trouble after the latest Skyrim patch. I did find that all mods aside if I hit my attack key during the killmove it will animate but the enemy will immediately recover. Also vice versa
