Dammit, what now? I've been relatively bug-free, except for a couple weird floating minor objects (food and weapons in a marketplace, etc.) and the occasional CTD, which is no big deal because I save so often I have like 2500 for this one character.

But now I've got some dragon - a named dragon, no less - attacking me at night, and it's invisible, or nearly so. What - seriously? There's some bare little textures sort of floating in the air that let me see the dragon, and that's it. It's night, on top of that, and so I can barely see the thing. What the hell? Some of the bugs are just so stupid. I don't get how the dragons can be invisible just sometimes.

Gah. When's patch 1.5 due out again?

seriously? thats a new one!

Ha, thats awesome.

Never happened to me. Maybe try reloading a previous save or autosave?

Yep. Happened last night late, so I just said $%@# it, saved and went to bed. Came back figuring it would be right as rain after closing and restarting the game, but no dice. Still 95% invisible. Reloaded save, same deal. Haven't even downloaded the new textures either, because I've got a laptop with 6 GB of RAM, but I'm not sure if the thing has an NVIDIA card or just a chip on the motherboard, or if it has any VRAM at all, and so I don't know if I can even run the new textures. So that ain't it.

Might have to switch graphical settings and see if some lower settings will make him visible.

I have an invisible named dragon's corpse, but haven't seen a live one yet

What do I have to hit to get a screenshot? I'll do a Steam screenshot and try and link it here.

its F12 on my PC.

Ok. I'm on PC with a 360 controller, but I think that will still work. Lemme see if I can get a shot of this guy.

Okay, that got it, but I don't see a link code. How do I share this thing?

Can't you just copy the address from the top of your browser?

I'm looking at in in Steam. That doesn't pop up in my browser, it's just in the Steam application.

Okay, figured it out. You can see the dragon Viinturuth in the middle as that mass of black stuff that is sort of outlining him. Not at all sure why he isn't fully rendered. None of the other dragons I've seen have this issue.

thats really bizarre.

That happened to me with a Dragon after I killed it. It was in Winterhold, right after the 3rd patch. I could NOT loot the body, nor could I capture the soul. It did not render the bones, just those splatters of blood.

Still, pretty cool for a live enemy.

It's weird enough, that's for sure. Plus, I just came out of a Dwemer ruin (Blackreach tower) and I heard this thing roar. He's named, but...

About damn time you found one - It just got back from over in Morrowind!

lol

Dammit, I hope this thing is fixed next time I load the game.

fans: complain about easy dragons
bethesda: makes dragons (mostly) invisible

see, betheda does listen to our complaints

lol

Yeah, and after centuries of silence it seems he's eager to hold a conversation or three with some mortals.

Urrr...this is still happening. I'm gonna reboot the computer and see if that magically makes things different.

I had this prior to 1.3 and no reloading will not fix it.

Urrrgh...things were fine just yesterday. Haven't had any problems. Dragons were fine even after the latest patch, except for this most recent one.

o well welcome to the .0000001% supposedly who has issues.

Enjoy
