spoonsinger Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Weird problem with Meresine. Something has renamed her to Kloavov and annoyingly if I meet her in one of her inn stops, any save after that is corrupt, (i.e. CTD on load). To get around this I killed her remotely with console, then entered the inn she was in, whereby her name was now '1Premade2Meresine3Kloavov' (* as image). If I save it there, then the save is corrupt, (i.e. CTD on load). If however resurrect and I recruit her, then save it's fine to reload, but her name is now just 'Kloavov' again rather than 'Meresine'. I've done the obvious search in Xedit, performed name search in the console, done a grep on all loose script files, searched for the name 'Kloavov' in Google and Duck Duck. Nothing. Anybody got any ideas on 'Kloavov'?

Or has this NPC worked fine previously, with that overhaul installed?

Have you tried disabling that before meeting the character? Or has this NPC worked fine previously, with that overhaul installed? Nope not that. Save is 226hours and 4 minutes long with only a couple of generic esl flagged esp's tagged on the end of the load order in that time. As said searched with xEdit already. Just looking for leads on the name 'Kloavov', because that would probably be the clue. Also the '1Premade2Meresine3Kloavov' looks like something which is being generated by code, (i.e. concatenated string), so maybe a script in a BSA, (because I've grepped all the loose ones). I think it's probably one of those you know the answer or you don't things. Cheers anyway.
spoonsinger Posted February 24, 2021 Author Posted February 24, 2021 And the answer is...... "KS Dragon Overhaul" - Original Mk1 Version. Specifically Magic Effect ksDragonNamingEffect which is attached to ks_DragonCore spell which is attached to updated version of standard perk crDragonResistNPC "DragonSkin". All well and good for dragons except that perk is also attached to 3DNPC Meresine, So she keeps getting renamed with a randomly made up name. Well not keeps, because as soon as you meet her all subsequent saves will be borked. So two points to take from this 1) Look in weird places for weird problems, 2) If you are still using the original KS Dragon Overhaul mod, probably not a good idea using it's dragon naming feature. (Obviously only put up if someone searched, and got this link) for a problem they might have and might fit their observations).
