Intro Cart Glitch

[Vyperhate]

For some reason during the intro I am stuck in the front of the cart, the cart in front of the one I am in appears to be empty and when we get to the gates they don't open and both carts just crash into them. I had this issue once before when attempting to manually install STEP. In that instance I deleted everything and started fresh using Wrye Bash and it worked fine. However now I'm trying to set up STEP on a friend's computer using Wrye Bash and the problem is occurring on this PC as well, despite having used Wrye Bash just as I did on my computer... I'm using extreme STEP and FPS is stable (this is an excellent machine, just built it myself yesterday)

 

Here are some screenshots of what I'm talking about:

Anyone have any idea what is going on? I'd rather not re-install all of STEP if I don't have to... It's rather time consuming as you're aware.

 

Thanks in advance for helping me figure this out.

When you say the FPS is stable, are you using V-Sync or a FPS limiter?

 

I know that high FPS (60+) in Skyrim causes the physics to go nuts, try using one of the above if you don't already.

[Aiyen]

Way too high FPS or too low will cause the helgen intro to mess up since it is rather delicate in the timings. Also if you activate a large number of script mods then you will get issues since the CPU cannot deal with the correct ones in the proper time causing issues with events not happening in the order they are meant.

 

Hence try to make sure you have between 20-60 FPS, and do not activate any mods until you are inside the keep.

Try using Alternate Start Live another Life       https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9557//? 

[Legionary11]

I'm having the same problem. Did you ever fix it?

[z929669]

Check that your timescale is not set too low. Timescale

 

Default timescale is 30.

 

EDIT: And Aiyen's not above is a good tip. Basically, time is a big factor and allowing for all scripting to complete. My guess is that timescale still may be the underlying issue for all.

[Legionary11]

Check that your timescale is not set too low. Timescale <= 10 can cause similar glitches in the intro sequence (and I assume any other automated sequences in the game involving lots of scripts and navmesh). Reset the timescale, save, load and revert back after said sequences are completed.

 

Default timescale is 30.

 

How do you do that?

[z929669]

You can set it to 30 or even 40 or whatever in the Bashed Patch process under 'Tweaks'.

[Legionary11]

Um, yeah. Can we put that crayon style?

[z929669]

If you use WB, then go to Mods tab, sort mods using BOSS, then right click Bashed Patch.esp and select "Rebuild Patch". You will see the options.

 

Otherwise, Google, "set timescale" +skyrim

I had this when i forgot to run FNIS before starting a new run through. The exact same place too. My character was stuck inside the drivers seat of the cart. No other NPCs to be seen anywhere and helgen gate would refuse to open when we got there.

 

But i re-ran FNIS and it was all sorted
