List of Well Known Skyrim Bugs/Glitches & Their Solutions

[bjornk]

 

Maybe this is something else you can add to the list (http://www.loverslab.com/topic/42462-camera-zoom-not-working/page-2). Though, it seems to be a hardware related issue with Skyrim. I was looking up a problem but mine had to do with changing poses in tfc mode that causes my mouse wheel to not zoom in/out and my rmb lmb to not engage in magic or weapon.

Yes, I sometimes have that TFC problem too, never found a solution though. I don't think it's hardware related but I'm going to try setting bMouseAcceleration to 0 in SkyrimPrefs.ini and see if it fixes the problem.

These are my current settings:

bGamePadRumble=0

bMouseAcceleration=1

bUseKinect=0

 

This is of course a way to prevent it from happening, but I'm more interested in what we can possibly do to fix it when it happens.

We need a list of things to try when:

• Your mouse wheel stops zooming in/out
• You cannot engage in combat (cannot attack).

 

For instance, does switching to "Immersive First Person View" (and back) do any good in this situation? Or using a tanning rack, perhaps mounting a horse etc.? You may place one right in front of you using player.placeatme.

 

 

In addition to the problem above, these issues need a solution as well:

• You cannot choose a new spell/power from the spells menu or from the Favorites menu.
• The camera angle is stuck in one direction and attempting to rotate the camera around your character (using your mouse) rotates your character around itself instead.

I spam my left attack on my mouse when I find I can't attack. That usually gets it to have the character get the fight stance. 

 

This might be a Defeat bug on my end, though, and not work on other situations where one can't fight.

uesp.net has a huge list of stuff like this.

 

Some that I can think of that I've been hit with more than a few times...

 

• If you attempt to mine something while crouched, you might get stuck that way. Sometimes jumping will fix, sometimes not.
•  
• You can get stuck at crafting stations (especially enchanting tables) if you use the mouse wheel to scroll. This was supposedly fixed in either a patch or by SkyUI, but I still get it occasionally. Opening the console and typing player.moveto player will fix it.
•  
• If you try to use a power or shout while being staggered, it might fail and you won't be able to try again or switch to another shout/power for several seconds. I wish I knew how to fix or workaround this one because I get it constantly.
•  
• A creature or NPC that dies while ragdolled might become stuck in a rigid pose and not have an activator to loot or eat. A save/reload usually fixes, or you can select them in the console and type snpcw 100 and they'll finish the ragdoll and be activatable again.
•  
• Dragons sometimes spawn with a very low-res texture that only updates to normal when they die. Select in the console and type snpcw 100 and that will fix that.
•  
• Nearby terrain (especially the ground) will sometimes fail to load their full texture. A save/reload usually fixes this.
•  
• Braith is an annoying, obnoxious little girl. No known fix beside killable children mods. (kidding)
