Everytime my person is about to do a kill move, the kill cam shows my person just standing there and nothing happens. It doesn't even kill the person, and this only happens with melee weapons. The bow and magic is fine, but with the dagger when I sneak up behind people my person slits their throat but it glitches and shows the person a couple feet behind me getting their throat slit by nothing. I do not know what's going on.

I also have this exact problem.

Yes, the problem seems to be limited to melee.

However
- This problem is not related to mods. I've had this problem since I recently installed the game on this computer (several days ago) via Steam.
- The problem sometimes (unpredictably) corrects itself when I restart the game from the desktop. But only sometimes, and even then animations never line up (I thrust my sword into thin air four feet away, and the bandit dies). This is not a proper fix, since I generally must restart and test half a dozen times or more before killmoves start working again.
- Mods specifically built for the 1.5 update that modify killmoves have not corrected the problem.


I am running Win7 on a Toshiba I-7 2670QM laptop (2.20 GHz) with 8G RAM and can provide further information if it will help.

Hopefully the mods that modify the kill moves for the 1.5 update correct this problem. I had just made a new character that uses the sword and shield, really excited to see the new kill moves.
Sometimes when my character does not do the kill move, he just stands there while the enemy attacks me.
