detreborg Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone, I have Installed Dragonborn few weeks ago and started to play the new story line. Unfortunately I experienced a serious glitch in a Temple of Miirak quest which is blocking my progress. I couldn't learn the new word of power from the wall in the Sanctuary (the room with the dragon skeleton pinned up to the wall). The screen didn't blur or went darker and my character just stood there. The Sarcophagus with the Gatekeeper couldn't open as well. I have tried to use console adding the shout manually or use the "tcl" command to hit the gatekeeper and lure it out.It worked only for a few minutes until I came to another problem. Once I managed to get to the room with the black book and started to read it, I wasn't able to list through the pages resulting in no cinematic with Miirak and another dead end. I solved this problem using console and "setstage" command again ( already knowing it won't probably end well...) After I left the dungeon and traveled to the Skaal village with Frea, CTD followed shortly after. Doesn't matter what I did or tried (loading game again from previous save, etc...) But... The best part came later when I decided to give this DLC some time and wait first for few Updates. So I loaded my old save game before even entering the Solstheim ( like I already had few CTDs, game freezes while traveling there with the ship for first time )... and decided to finish some side quests in Skyrim first.( Finished main quest before entering Dragonborn) ....Occasionally I wandered to some cave with a Wall of power inside, when I was back in Skyrim, and witnessed the horrific truth.....I couldn't learn new words even from Vanilla Walls resulting in same problem and CTD few minutes after I stood in front of the stone or moving out of the dungeon, etc. I know I'm using a lot of mods but not so many like I used to have before complete uninstall of the game and setting up everything again because of an issue which led me to make whole game from scratch again..... ( Just for info: I'm using NMM,SKSE,BOSS and other utilities keeping everything up to date, etc.)The problem is that none of my mods I'm currently running describes this kind of incompatibility (BOSS neither) That's why I'm asking here on Nexus forums how to fix this issue as I'm really desperate and have no Idea what to do (except wiping everything again) Have you experienced this glitch as well? Or are you able to give me straightforward answer to this before I will have to post my list of all mods?

Proxxor Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've been having the exact problem as well. I also use NMM and BOSS and many mods, but none of them should cause issues like this. I find it annoying how buggy Dragonborn has been. I do have a sorta fix for the Temple of Miraak part, basically what I did was I left the room with the word wall and back tracked through the dungeon a ways. Then I came back and the world wall activated, but this doesn't always work for me. I was exploring random caves and I came across Benkongerike, so I continue in and there's a word wall at the end, but it doesn't trigger even with my sorta fix so.... I just hope Bethesda gets some fixes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detreborg Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks for the response I'll definitely try that out. Anyway I'm still hoping for better solution... It can't be that only 2 people run into this problem so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detreborg Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think there is a problem with the scripts....was testing few things and found out that it takes ages for some scripts to trigger ( resulting in no quest progress, NPCs won't appear, stucked in cinematic, etc) and if they trigger too late the game will just crash because it can't handle them anymore. It's just my guess.... @Proxxor: This workaround didn't work for me. But I managed to get through that part anyway...as I said everything just triggered later, that's why I came to the statement above.... So another question...Is there a way to refresh scripts in game? P.S. don't come up with "pcb" as it does almost nothing and isn't related to scripts ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detreborg Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Ok, problem solved. Started a new game and went directly for the Dragonborn quest after I finished "the way of the Voice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashiniri Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Word walls work fine for me, but I can't use black books. I have alot of mods, I dont know why any of them would conflict with black books though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
