Major Problem with the Great Lift Of Alftand... Bug Report

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:15 am

Ok well I didn't see a bug report forum so I guess ill just list it here. I was in Blackreach, and every time, and I mean every time, I use the Great Lift elevator in Blackreach, my game totally glitches out, its not even frozen, well sort of my toon cant move no matter what I do, but the screen keeps fading in and out of black, like its stuck at the moment when you go from zoning into the next area, like the lift never quiet finishes going all the way up or down. Doesnt matter which end of the elevator I start at, when I get to the other end, it glitches like that, and I have to reboot my whole pc, cause trying to pull up task manager while its doing that fading in and out crap, it makes my game screen repop over my task manager window, so I can't even shut it down so end up having to reboot the whole pc. And I've tried it on 2 seperate playthrus, so its not a saved game corruption, it always happens on any character I play. So I'm just bringing this to the devs attention so that hopefully in the next patch they can get it fixed.

Are you using auto save?

If you are try turning it off before using the lift.

I think CCNA mentioned it on a thread, it seems to do the trick for me at least.

If you are not using auto save...I have no clue!

That's bad. :(

Lifts do that in games. They're prone to bugs.

Theres one in Minervas Den(Bioshock 2 dlc) that's a menace. You think you're going to leave after the boss fight, and it crashes the game while showing the load screens constantly. You hit quit game, the PS3 crashes and restarts.
Some lifts and doors do exactly the same thing in Skyrim.

The only thing I can think of is, delete the character, every single save.
And start again.
Bugs like that don't go away. It's attached to your character and will probabely reoccur. And spread.

If you don't have to use that lift, ignore it.
But if you need to, then deletion is the only answer, I think.

Maybe there is a PC fix for it.

Yea did that its not a character problem, I deleted my first character completely, every save and started a completely different toon, and it did it with that one too, so its a game problem, which I hope they fix soon.

Yea that helped, I went looking somemore and came across that post, it still glitches a bit, but after I turned off autosave, and mashed the walk key once the lift got to the top, it finally will let me out after a few seconds of glitching. Thx for the info tho, I appreciate the help :)
