If crossbows are not in the base game of TES6 I'm gonna be pissed

[QUOTE=Mr. Jelly;43667247]If crossbows are not in the base game of TES6 I'm gonna be pissed[/QUOTE] Crossbows are a transcription error.

[QUOTE=Askaris;43667325]Crossbows are a transcription error.[/QUOTE] Huh?

engine limitations

So, I seem to have an interesting glitch due to having way too many mods installed. The horse-drawn carriages at the beginning of the game, which carry you to the execution, are bugging the fuck out. Well, actually the horses are the ones bugging out, since they keep trying to climb the nearby mountains in their quest to reach the chopping block. Assuming I can get some recording software working, and my framerate to not chug horribly, I might try and record it.

I hope, for the next game, Weapons and armour start looking more realistic and are mostly based on real designs. Or at least realistic considering the materials, as most of them are stronger and some of them are much heavier. The fashion 'armour' of skyrim, for the most part, didn't look that good in comparison to real stuff. I hope glass goes back to being like it was in morrowind though. A transparent and hard to work with material. I also realy hope they get rid of the chosen one for every questline bullshit and go for a more modest 'climb the ladder of the guild' with a few interesting comrades/rivals in each guild

Bah. I crash every other time I save, and I've already installed that CTD and ENBoost thing, it doesn't really do anything for me. I'm just going to start another character.

Activate those after escaping from Helgen and you should be fine.

Yeah, I ended up starting a new character and it CTD right after. I'm so infuriated that I've lost a good amount of time on my saves. I might just do a fresh installation and just take it from there.

Using that ENB crash fix thing acually caused me to crash MORE. :/

I got my on-save-crash fixed by doing that "Save, kill yourself, save, reload" thing.

I would try that, but I'm crashing when I save.

Why do some people bother making shitty-ass config menus for their mods if they won't even make them work? I was really liking Immersive Creatures but then I get my shit pushed in by a Master Draman Skeleton with a 3 second cooldown unrelenting force shout, even though I [I]specifically disabled[/I] all Draman related shit on the menu. [editline]25th January 2014[/editline] And I want to go to the mod's page to complain but as always, the Nexus is down.

[QUOTE=Chilean_Wolf;43669662]the Nexus is down.[/QUOTE] this implies the Nexus was up Is there any alternative?

[QUOTE=kepper;43668480]I would try that, but I'm crashing when I save.[/QUOTE] Try to rename your skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini in your Documents/My Games/Skyrim folder, so that Skyrim can regenerate them. Sometimes it fixes everything, and if it doesn't you can rename them back. Also, in the BOSS log, check the recognised plugin section, it warns you if something you use needs a patch or is not compatible with other mods in your list. [QUOTE=_Maverick_;43669897]this implies the Nexus was up Is there any alternative?[/QUOTE] [URL]http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/files/category/119-skyrim-mods/[/URL] Not as big as the Nexus, but it has some neat stuff.

I've already done the skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini thing. I ran BOSS and saw there were just a few unrecognized things, but they were disabled. There were no conflicts that I could see, just a lot of the "use TES5Edit."

I doubt it's the cause, though, because they've been dirty edits since long before this problem started.

Trying to set up battlespire again... akatosh protect me etc :v:

Where did the emperor live if all of Cyrodiil was jungle?

I doubt it's the cause, though, because they've been dirty edits since long before this problem started.[/QUOTE] I just tried doing some TES5Edit fixes; The game loads a wee bit faster, but I still have a problem with the CTD. I've removed more than half of my mods in an attempt to find out what the problem is. I think the next thing I'll try is seeing if there is some kind of script that is causing an issue. I've also done a savegame bloat cleanout, but it didn't change anything.

[QUOTE=Cor Angars;43670954]So it was supposed to be a jungle during morrowind too? Where did the emperor live if all of Cyrodiil was jungle?[/QUOTE] The Imperial City was still there, I think they just changed the terrain. Also as Tiber Septim changed the terrain, it was a long time before the events of Morrowind. [editline]26th January 2014[/editline] Of course due to the breaking of the dragon I'll be completely wrong and it'll simultaneously be in both the present and the past or something

[QUOTE=Elspin;43671389]Crashing again at equipment/magic equipment selection unfortunately. Anyone here played battlespire and fixed this?[/QUOTE] When I get on my desktop I'll check to see if I still have it installed, had it working well last time I played.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;43671556]When I get on my desktop I'll check to see if I still have it installed, had it working well last time I played.[/QUOTE] Thanks, really appreciate it. I really wanted to try out the multiplayer business with a friend but the crashes give basically no indication of why they're happening and the game's not popular/new enough to get a solution with google [editline]also[/editline] I did find this quote related to my exact issue someone else is having but I'm not quite sure what they mean [QUOTE]Hi... Yeah, the game works perfectly now in DOSbox 0.74. I just told the game to use it's own frame buffer technology and there I went, off to kill demons. [/QUOTE] that's basically the whole post, no information on how to do said frame buffer technology switching, so I guess I'll look into this now

Not on my main comp yet, but have you tried playing around with the dosbox config settings? maybe change the output from surface to opengl or ddraw or something.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;43672652]Not on my main comp yet, but have you tried playing around with the dosbox config settings? maybe change the output from surface to opengl or ddraw or something.[/QUOTE] Tried messing around with surface and machine type and such since some of the machine settings mentioned frame buffer in the dosbox config but there was way too many options to try every possible configuration and none of the ones I tried worked
