Forums - PC Discussion - Unofficial Skyrim Patch promises to fix a hell of a lot of bugs/issues; beta might come this weekend

Tagged games:

 

You gotta love modders. Skyrim is full of bugs and issues, there is no denying that, and we’re pretty sure that Bethesda won’t be able to fix most of them. And since the company won’t address them, who will? That’s right. The modders. Kivan is currently developing an unofficial patch to fix the vast amount of bugs currently existing in Skyrim. The list is huge and can be easily compared with the ‘Unofficial Overhaul Patch’ that was released for Gothic 3 by its community. Oh, and Lydia can now be married. Hooray!
Kivan is hard at work and said that a beta of this unofficial patch could actually hit the net this weekend. Kivan will be shortly joined by Quarn, while modder Arthmoor will most probably added to the project at a later date.
And now, take a really deep breath and witness the changelog of this unofficial patch:

 

 

 

Game Mechanics Fixes

 

•NPCs will no longer drop weapons or shields as separate objects, as these are never cleaned up which greatly adds to save bloating and litters the gameworld (the items will still appear to be dropped, but will access the corpse’s inventory to be taken and be cleaned up with the corpse if left)
•The Absorb Spells effect of the Atronach sign, Atronach perk (Alteration tree) and Breton Dragonskin ability will no longer cause the player’s own conjuration spells to fail
•Being too overencumbered to run or fast-travel (except mounted) will no longer stop carriages from working
•The Purity (Alchemy) perk now has the correct pre-requisite of Snakeblood, instead of Experimenter
•Argonian players (who have permanent Water Breathing) will no longer gasp for air when surfacing

 

Quest Fixes

 

•Riftweald Manor, Mercer Frey’s house in Riften, will no longer be accessible before the Thieves Guild quest The Pursuit without console commands, as accessing it earlier and picking up his plans would cause the Hard Answers quest to not start and break the questline (removed a barrel 3FFE6 from RiftenWorld RiftenCityEast 43,-24 that allowed early access)
•The Thieves Guild ongoing job quest “The Numbers Job” will now correctly target the ledger in Haelga’s Bunkhouse (Riften) rather than a static crate that left the job unfinishable (won’t fix it if occurring currently; just cancel the job with Delvin and it won’t reoccur)
•Imperial Legates and Stormcloak Commanders in camps throughout Skyrim will no longer remain unnecessarily essential after the Civil War questline is completed
•”J’zargo’s Experiment” will no longer break if more than three undead are destroyed with J’zargo’s Flame Cloak Scrolls (the quest objective was to test them on three, but it’s easy to go over this)
•”Find Red Eagle’s sword” will no longer restart if it’s already completed by re-reading the book “The Legend of Red Eagle”
•At the conclusion of Tending the Flames (Solitude Bards College), Viarmo will no longer tap the effigy of King Olaf with a mysterious hammer that appears from nowhere and then be stuck holding a torch permanently afterwards (note that due to bugged idle handling he still may have his hand in the holding position after the festival though), and the effigy’s fire will now have its missing sound effect and flicker
•In Tending the Flames, when Viarmo presents the rewritten Olaf verse to Jarl Elisif, he will now read the correct line if the player chose “Olaf sacked it in dragon form (Persuade)” for verse 4
•Fixed Pantea Ateia’s Tending the Flames festival greeting confusingly linking into her own quest’s dialog
•After the Bards College Rjorn’s Drum quest is complete, Giraud Gemane will no longer have the “I found Rjorn’s Drum” option (he would repeat the same dialog again, although not provide the reward again; this bug was introduced with the 1.4 patch)
•If the three Bards College instruments are found before their related quests (Finn’s Lute, Pantea’s Flute and Rjorn’s Drum) the misc. quest objectives to find them will no longer remain permanently incomplete after the quest ends
•An unfinishable misc. quest “Investigate the Bards College” objective will no longer be added if the player talks to one of several bards throughout Skyrim and has already visited the College and started the Tending the Flames quest
•An unfinishable misc. quest “Speak to Verulus about the Hall of the Dead” objective will no longer be added if the player talks to Kleppr or Frabbi and has already started the quest by talking to Brother Verulus
•An unfinishable misc. quest “Speak to Degaine” objective will no longer be added if the player talks to Kleppr and has already started the quest to steal the statue of Dibella by talking to Degaine
•The unfinishable misc. quest “Speak to Degaine” objective will be also now be removed (failed) if the player starts the Heart of Dibella by talking to Hamal directly
•An unfinishable misc. quest “Visit the Shrine of Azura” objective will no longer be added if the player talks to innkeepers or wandering pilgrim Faldrus and has already started the quest The Black Star by visiting the shrine
•After the quest “The Blessings of Nature” if the player chooses the sapling option, the dead Gildergreen tree (Whiterun) will be properly removed
•The Attunement Sphere (3532C) and Runed Lexicon (3A3DD) will no longer remain as undroppable quest items when the Discerning the Transmundane quest is completed
•Haelga’s Statue of Dibella (21EA3) will no longer be an undroppable quest item if the player steals it after clearing her debt by other means in the Thieves Guild quest “Taking Care of Business”
•Gallus’s Encoded Journal (CEDA6) will now be removed properly from the player when Enthir takes it at the conclusion of the Thieves Guild quest “Hard Answers,” and no longer remain in inventory as an undroppable quest item

 

NPC Fixes

 

•Lydia (Whiterun housecarl) can now be married by the player
•The corpses of Ulfric Stormcloak and Galmar Stone-Fist will no longer persist indefinitely in the Windhelm Palace of the Kings after the Battle for Windhelm is completed (they were neglected to be given coffins in the Hall of the Dead as well which was also rectified)
•The Bandit Marauder at Valtheim Towers will no longer remove 200 gold from the player if successfully intimidated
•Legate Taurinus Duilis will no longer be locked out of the Morthal Guardhouse at night due to missing key assignements (both he and the door)

 

NIF Mesh and Texture Fixes

 

•Fixed the common decorative stoneware two-handled pots (ClutterRuinsRuinsPot01/02.NIFs) so that every instance of them in the gameworld isn’t tilted and slightly floating
•Created USKPSPatioWallColumn.NIF and placed two at the Thalmor Embassy (-20,27) to cover exposed hollow ends in fencework due to missing column pieces on the compound’s exterior wall
•Closed two seethrough gaps between the base of Belethor’s General Goods and the roadway near Breezehome in Whiterun (MeshesArchitectureWhiterunWRTerrainWRDrunkenHuntsmanBase.NIF) [note that the mesh name doesn't match the actual object]
•Closed a seethrough gap under the side door of the Drunken Huntsman tavern and a seethrough hole into the void by the base of the side door stairway (MeshesArchitectureWhiterunWRTerrainWRDryGoodsBase.NIF) [note that the mesh name doesn't match the actual object]
•Closed a seethrough gap above the doorframe visible from the subterranean entrance of the Whiterun Hall Of The Dead (MeshesArchitectureWhiterunWRBuildingsWRHallOfTheDead01.NIF)
•Removed a one-sided polygon projecting into the tunnel at the base of the Solitude windmill (MeshesArchitectureSolitudeSWindmill.NIF)

 

Item Fixes

 

•All followers will no longer have invisible Hunting Bows that can’t be removed from them that they would use even in preference to much better bows they were given; they will now be visible and can be removed from the follower normally
•The Sanguine Rose staff’s Dremora summoning will no longer fail if the player has the Conjuration perk “Elemental Potency”
•Completely filled Petty, Lesser, Common, and Greater Soul Gems will no longer empty when dropped or put in a container (partially filled Lesser, Common, and Greater Soul Gems will still empty and this is by design so that they may be reused if incompletely filled)
•Removed the description “Especially effective against undead.” from the Silver Sword (10AA19) and Silver Greatsword (10C6FB) as if one is enchanted the enchantment type, magnitude, duration and charge bar won’t display due to an engine bug (so that the player is still advised of the benefit against the undead, made a new loading screen)
•Corrected the Speed of the Ebony Dagger (139AE) from 1 to 1.3 to match all other daggers as it had the speed of a longsword (this also corrected 36 enchanted Ebony Daggers based on it)
•Changed the Elven Boots of Eminent Stamina (10DF88) into boots as they incorrectly appeared as a suit of armor (in the boots leveled list, has boots price and boots internal name so appears was intended to be boots but incorrect template was used)
•Gourds and Apple Cabbage Soup are no longer missing their sound effects when eaten

 

Placement/Layout/Ownership and other World Object Fixes

 

Tamriel (outdoor) Worldspace

 

•Moved the Khajiit caravan’s merchant chest (74355) which was underground near the Dawnstar mine (8,25) as it could be activated and looted through the ground

•The alchemy lab/crafting table (E68A7) will no longer completely embed in a Workbench when the Imperials are occupying the fort due to missing enable parent, and replaced the erroneous static/unusable grindstone BlacksmithSharpeningWheel01 (B409D) with a usable CraftingBlacksmithSharpeningWheel at Fort Amol (24,-6)
