Vulon Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 The amount of problems I've run into with the Dragonborn DLC is too damn high. After a month of not being able to progress through the quest line because of sheer broken-ness, a couple days ago I was finally able to proceed normally without a CTD. Everything went swimmingly until I began "At the summit of Apocrypha". First, I encountered a couple random CTDs. No biggie. Reloaded, managed to get to the part where I'm supposed to tame and ride the dragon with the ugly-ass texture, and I kept getting stuck in the air in a sitting position as the ugly dragon flew away. Now, I probably could have switched off collision with the console and made my way to Miraak that way, but I figured that might lead to more complications, so I stuck it out and managed to find an easy enough fix. "Huzzah!" I exclaimed, "Now I can finally rush off to defeat Miraak!" Not so, it would seem. The wanker wound up getting stuck in his ethereal form every damn time. Nothing worked. I tried killing him through the console so many damn times, and I reloaded the fight and approached it differently each time (adjusting difficulty, weapons, letting the ugly dragon do most of the work, etc). After an hour of immense frustration and overblown, unhealthy rage, I finally managed to 'beat' him when I hid behind a pillar, and went away from my computer and into another room to wallow in despair for a few minutes. When I returned, lo and behold, Miraak was suddenly in the air with a tentacle through his chest, and though I had utterly no idea what had transpired, I could return to Solstheim! Finally! Except more wankery was incoming, as I soon discovered the combat music was stuck in a loop. Not only that, but it was looping over the existing Skyrim music, making for an even more annoying experience. I tried reloading my save from the fight with Miraak and repeating the same method (remaining hidden to trigger whatever happened the last time around), but after a few minutes of silently waiting in seclusion for the jackass to get out of his ethereal form, nothing happened, and I ragequit and came here to b&@*$ and moan. But in all seriousness, I really would appreciate some help here. :I Anyone else experience an issue like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanGlvac Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I have the exact same problem. *censored*ing music keeps playing over and over and over again. It's driving me crazy. I tried stopping the music using the console, but (as I expected) it didn't work.Does anyone have a damn fix for this *censored*it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanGlvac Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yay! I found a fix! So, step one: uninstall the game (seriously), step two: install it back, BUT don't install the DLC yet. Step three: start the game and make a clean save (by clean I mean without the DLC). And finally: activate the DLC and voila! The music stopped! You will have to start the Dragonborn questline all over again, though. But believe me, unless you want to turn down the music volume, this is the only way to save countless hours searching for a fix. Hope it helps!!!

Vulon Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ughhh, I've already had to completely uninstall the game and start with a clean save once before, though...@_@Not sure if I want to bother with it again. After a combined total of 500+ hours on the PC and PS3, I might just settle for playing with the music off. As much as I enjoy it, I've pretty much had it permanently burned into my memory after all this time. Still, this sucks. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulon Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Update! So I might have possibly found a fix - if I can figure out what to do from this point. I re-loaded a save from when I was fighting Miraak and input the following into the console : Setstage dlc2mq06 550. It made Miraak dissolve, and I absorbed his soul and was able to loot his corpse, but...now I seem to be stuck, for the time being. The good news being, after I absorbed his soul, the music stopped! Bad news is, he wasn't impaled, so the black book to return to Solstheim never appeared. I tried inputting a few coc commands to teleport elsewhere, but they didn't work. I'll keep working at it. Update - 'coc whiterun' worked! Fast-travelled back to Solstheim, and everything seems to be working just fine now. :biggrin: Wish I would've discovered the fix earlier so I could have told ya, RomanGlvac. Bethesda really needs to get their s*** together. I can understand why they have so many bugs, overall, but honestly, I don't see how near game-crippling issues like this go unnoticed by the development team and/or any testers they might employ.

KiyaMM Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I had the same problem.. I even dreamt an entire dream with that d*mn music playing, because of not being able to find a solution... but I found it. Open console, type removemusic DLC2MUSCombatBoss and beautiful silence and local music is back.. at least it was for me. I have no idea if there'll be any bad things happening to my game now, but entering a fight, and getting the warning music worked fine for me so far.

BobbyB63 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 If you type in setstage dlcmq06 580 it will bring the black book up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
