jackoa19 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Hello once again forum, As I'm sure most of you would agree, Dragonborn is a fantastic piece of DLC. Whilst the content itself is brilliant, I have had numerous problems with major bugs, all that seem to point in the same direction, delays in script actions, here are a few examples of major problems. =======================SPOILERS BELOW============================= - During the battle with Haknir Deathbrand, after defeating the initial wave of crew members Haknir will not return and after no-clipping I can see that Haknir is standing alone in a small cell out of the map. - During the fight with Miraak one of two things will happen:1) I will be able to take Miraak's health down to 0 at which point he will not die, yet his health bar will not show and he continues to fight as per usual.2) After taking down a portion of Miraak's health he will spring to a location and either a dragon will land and nothing will happen or the dragon will not land at all. - After reading any black book the book only closes and I am transported around 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time it can take up to five minutes for my character to start reading the book and often he will read it randomly. I've tried turning on/off combat ai (tcai on the console) but it seems the problem lies in a delayed script. I've tried looking up these bugs elsewhere but I've seen no other reports of these problems other than point two of the Miraak problem. I have no mods that would alter scripts and do not use SKSE or ScriptDragon. Whilst all of my mods are purely graphical the only mods I feel COULD have caused this would be the "Frostfall" camping and survival mod and "Auto unequip ammo/arrows". I know we have a few Papyrus overlords among us, hopefully this problem is concurrent with a similar problem that has been experienced with someone else? I would appreciate any feedback or if not anyone to bump this topic if they are experiencing any form of script delay problems in Dragonborn.
ThatShipGuy Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Hi, I hope this helps: I'm experiencing similar delays also. In my case, I started noticing delays after entering the Temple of Miraak Sanctum (or thereabouts) on the main questline of Dragonborn. The swinging blades failed to cause damage to my character, and my character would not "learn" the first dragon shout. Upon reading the black book in this level, I was only able to successfully transport to the cut-scene once; otherwise the effect would delay, as jackoa has described. When my character finally took out the book and started reading, the HUD and controls would disappear correctly, as if entering the cut scene, but my character would fail to transport and thus be stuck there. In versions where I simply didn't read the book, the damage that my character had sustained earlier from the swinging blades would randomly apply itself to my character over the next half-hour or so. Similarly in the Bloodskal Barrow dungeon, the blade's power attacks would randomly spawn up to 15 minutes after I'd attacked. Other events such as the death of Karstaag had not manifested themselves by the time of my writing this (the body sits on the ground, unlootable, and the quest doesn't complete). Around this time, my machine started random CTDs, at first after a few minutes, and then progressively more frequently. Since encountering these problems, I've tried re-playing Dragonborn from a fresh/clean save - with the same effects (though no CTDs yet). I have a plethora of mods installed, though none that I know of that should affect scripts such as this. Certainly I've had no issues before now, but can list out the mods if required!
