LargeStyle Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) As the title states, the camera keeps automatically going into 3rd person mode and I have no idea why this has just started to happen. Here's what I know.... Put it in 1st person mode and after a seemingly random period of time (between 1 and 60 seconds) it goes to 3rd person mode. When it switches to 3rd person mode it doesn't remain zoomed out as I normally have it, it always resets back to close up. It's not a controller issue - normally play with PS3 controller but it also happens with keyboard and mouse. It affects "old" save game files - even ones in which problem definitely wasn't present. However starting a new game and camera stays on 1st person. I mistakenly recently made a save or two while console command tfc or possible tfc 1 were active - but not playing with these save files at all. Just reinstalled Skyrim from Steam backup only couple of days ago, and just made a file cache check and all is ok. Mod changes I've made recently: added "Dead Body Collision Fix", removed all modded landscape texture files, installed IMAGINATOR. Running from newly generated SkyrimPrefs.ini and Skyrim.ini. So does anyone know why my game has decided to play up (and less than 24 hours away from Dragonborn DLC too)??!!!!?? Any help will be seriously appreciated. EDIT: More Info.... Just made a new and unmodded installation of Skyrim - all game saves made prior to today still have camera problem. Save game from todays "New Game" still works without fault. Even tfc is affected - use tfc and after a few seconds the camera just goes back to 3rd person and the player is controllable!

It's an archer type class at that ._.* I just made a new toon and let it sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargeStyle Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I'm doing archer playthrough too on level 49 now. I just made a new toon and let it sit.Er. what does this mean? As you're writing in current tense I assume you haven't found out what's going on with this bug and fixed it (?) Just for more information about this bug.... Once the game has automatically switched to 3rd person view it doesn't change / attempt to go back to 1st person again. It switches to 3rd person when it's normally impossible to do so - such as during conversations with NPCs. Horse riding camera is unaffected - works perfect. Tried a Skyrim.ini camera coordinates mod - new coordinates worked and were called upon when switching to 3rd person, but automatic camera switching bug still present.

LargeStyle Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's all sorted now (I think /hope). Here's another thread that I started for this problem that explains it further... My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bububuuu Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hi there. I have the same problem, but it started after I installed Dawnguard (via Steam, bought it, no weird patch or download, and even if I have quite a few mods, I haven't tried one that changes something about first or third person view). The view switches to third person after one to three seconds of first person. This wouldn't be a problem since I really prefer third person, but still, it can be annoying (like, you know, when you want to drag corpses around)...
