Map issue

[B4D]

Hi, I was hoping one of you could help me with an issue I've been having recently. I tried disabling all recently installed mods, but it didn't help and I have no clue why this is happening. Basically when I open the map it shows a first person animation of my character looking up to the sky and I get a weird map. The local map is completely fine, but the main map is unusable. Please have a look at the screenshots I took. Any help would be appreciated, because this issue renders my game completely unplayable.

 

General map:

 

Local map:

I can only think it might have been caused by the ENB or any other visual mods, but still can't quite figure out what the problem is.

 

Edit: I just checked it again and it seems like the animation they used to display the map in the game is the character looking down and the camera gets propelled up in the sky to give a bird's eye view of the terrain. it seems like my camera is just spinning the other way round hence it is trying to display the sky for me which is why I get the results posted in the screenshots. I hope someone knows the solution as without a map the game is quite unplayable.

I have the same issue after reinstaling my game. WTF.

[Ailsa]

I accidentally discovered that some the the Distant LOD mods change the map if you allow them to.  I had to remove all my distant view mods (2 of them) to get my map back to normal last night.  I hope this might be useful 

[romualda5]

Ok I found my problem and it fix my map. It was mod Faalskar- fast travel.

[B4D]

I have neither fast travel, nor LOD mods installed. Could an ENB do any serious changes in LOD? I have an updated picture though. If I open up the local map and then close the map and open it up again you can see that the character is clearly gazing at the sky as it is in the background.

 

Here is the screenshot:

If you guys can spot the problem it would save me probably at least a full day of installing mods and configuring them.

[B4D]

So after days of research I still have not come across a single thread on any forum detailing the same problem I have. I am absolutely clueless now as of what to do. All my mods seem to be working correctly and BOSS agrees with the load order, so at this point I'd rule out a MOD issue, also I have not installed any mods that would add new areas or change the map. I highly doubt outfits would alter the map. The only thing I will have to check later if it's maybe the Castle that AnK made that could cause something like that as I installed that mod as a resource for armor and clothing. It's quite annoying and I am not sure whether or not I will reinstall Skyrim if I can not fix the problem as I just don't have that much extra time on my hands. Thanks a lot to all of you, who helped. I will keep looking at this thread and PMs and hope for a miracle.

[renishi]

 I'm gonna hazard a guess here and say it might have something to with the skyrim ini tweaks.

 

did you download the ini tweeks from Nexus.......any map changing mod?

those ini tweaks in your file are the excate one's which come from a mod called

 

(Improved 3d world map and other skyrim ini tweeks)made by  FireHawkX

 

here's a post by another on the NEXUS site with the same issue,

 

Quote: also sometimes when I'm indoors or outside my map does'nt show up,

theres just a blank grey screen with map marker's showing, UNQOUTE.

 

It sounds like the same issue you are having.

 

I'm not sure what (unlock object map LOD=8) is but there are mentioned/referenced in another post there too.

 

I have three links to websites which have the same issue's as you have.

or Google (map issue skyrim) and it will give you links to the same problem. 

 

hope that helps.

I had this problem before, searched all over the web for a solution and found this http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26998/?

 

Hope it helps, it worked for me though.

Thank you, that's the solution right there. You saved me so many hours of tinkering.
