Specific Mining Glitch

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 3:33 am

Vein: Corundum
Hold: Falkreath
Location: A small isle in the Eastern edge of Lake Ilinalta
Triangulation Coordinates: Due E of Sunken Barrow - SW of Anise's Cabin - WNW of The Guardian Stones

Problem: After mining the corundum ore, the game locks/freezes when you move away. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after making it 80-100meters.

Testing:
1. Three separate characters
2. Locations of last Saves tried prior to lockup: Riverwood, The Guardian Stones, Anise's Cabin, Pinewatch, Embershard Mine, and Whiterun Stables.
3. Three separate characters with two separate Saves each. Six separate game freezes.
4. Occasionally I was able to make a Save after depleting the vein. However, continuing from that Save would also result in the game locking up. If I exited all the way out of the game (as in all the way to XboxLive), I could then restart the game, load the Save after mining and proceed with no problems.

Note: This has happened every single time, no matter the character played nor amount of time playing. So the system is not locking up from overheating.

Something's very odd about that particular vein of corundum ore. Or, perhaps, a nearby Slaughterfish? No idea. :shrug:
If this could be looked into for the next patch, much appreciation would be lauded on your person; Dev or Devette.
It is no major game issue as many other ore sources are known, but something is definitely glitchy with this location.
