So i have a bug that i've never seen until downloading patch 1.6

For the record this is on Xbox 360

It relates to shields. With the perk allowing you to randomly "Slow time for a few seconds" when your shield is up and someone is mid swing, it often time gets stuck in slow motion. To be more specific, instead of "slow time" lasting a few seconds, it lasts literally forever. I know what you're thinking "that sounds handy." I thought the same at first, but after a few minutes of running at the pace of two feet per hour, it got old.

Current remedies for fixing this? One is to find another enemy and keep blocking until the slow time block is "reactivated" meaning it'll last a few seconds (more) then finally come off. This works about 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time you literally have to back load to a point before the glitch happened. Saving the game and loading into it doesn't work, you have to load to a point before it happened.

Also when using these methods of "fixes" half the time the slow motion will be gone, but the screen/characters vision will still be blurred and gray as if in slow motion mode. Only way to fix this so far is to completely back load.

As this was my first melee character using shields i wanted to double check that it wasn't one unique case. I tried it on my lvl 60 archer, and lvl 71 spellsword, both have the issue. Curious if it is specific to my xbox/game copy i tried it on my Ps3, and half my characters had the issue. I reached out to my xbl friends and they say they have seen the same issue.

I want to get into shields, but it's such a pain in the A** to fix and happens so often that it's not worth it. Please fix?

This bug has existed since before patch 1.6, it also can occur when using the slow time feature in archery and I believe the Slow Time shout as well.

I heard about this happening before the patch was released but it never happened to me.

With 1.5 I had an issue where I got an ebony shield and I equipped it and I was not holding the shield, but I could hold up my arm like I was holding a shield and I tried hanging it on the wall and it would not let me do that either.

This needs to be in the Xbox bug forum. Ask a mod to move it for you.

i smell someone who is trying to earn points for the beta. On the 360, first post and this glitch has been around long before 1.6. You sir do not get points for the beta.

wtf is points for beta? like chance to get the beta? yeah i'm dyingggggg for that considering it's only 14 days away. trolling clearly gives a better chance at that.

anyways back on point. sorry if this is in wrong section, new to these forums (obviously). i've never had the problem before 1.6, then again i barely used shields till maybe a month before 1.6. Archery i used even mastered (lvl 100) with the slow mo thing and never had issue. slow mo shout i have used and still use, no issues either. only issue with "slow mo" in my personal experience(s) is only related to the shield. I started my fourth character (nother archer) after deciding the 6 skill points i had in block was a waste.

On a side note, i don't use slow mo potions so dunno if theres any issue there. again my only issue is with shields

I've had the game occasionally get stuck in slow motion from quick reflexes, pre 1.6, though it was only occasionally. The effect usually only lasted around 10 seconds, though I got an easy kill after being able to hack away at my opponent who was stuck in slow motion.

What the hell are you talking about? Everyone who is getting the beta has it already...

Back on topic, Did you exit the cell ( go through a door, cave entrance ect) whilst in or straight after the slow motion segment?

i had this problem on 360 off disc from day 1, no patches. im currently using patch 1.5? whatever patch the new kill cams were add. no kinect or later. i dont really find it a bad prolblem since it happens very rarely, but i notice it.

Happen to me a couple of times and I notice this usually occurs when there are more than one enemy using power attack. I have never got stuck in it for too long though. Once those enemies causing the slowdown dies, everything returns to normal after a while. I am on PC.
