No, not to me anyway. You might try using steam to re-verify your files and that should fix it up.

 

Don't forget to update your SKSE!!!

 

My Wrye Bash showed all of my saves as pink so I was really worried, but I was able to load my current save without any problems and the few mods I have worked just fine. Since I already was beyond level 10 a dawn guard agent found me in short order and asked me to join up.

 

Hope you get it fixed.

Cheers,

Greg

Anyone else getting a bug where the only attacks that work are power attacks? For anything else, the character just stands there. It's not even that the animation isn't playing, the attack just doesn't happen. I'm about ready to see if it's a mod conflict, but I'm a bit worried that my save won't even load if I deactivate everything.

 

Update: Bizarrely, the conflict seems to be with the dummy Update.esm that I've been using ever since Beth deleted it. Go figure. Guess I'll have to go through and edit the masters for all the files that depend on it.

What the heck has this got to do with Dawnguard?

 

The site seems to have been site down so no new version is around anywhere.

When did Beth delete update.esm?

 

well i had no bugs or problems for now

 

and alex updated SD since july 30

[sbire]

works like charm ... atm i have no problems with my mods and the new addon

 

 

 

only CK are missing the DAWNGUARD_English.STRINGS ...

[karagdan]

When did Beth delete update.esm?

 

A couple patches ago. It looks like it was only temporary because it came back when I verified the game cache with steam just now. Maybe it was just for me too.

Dawnguard was upped on thursday around 4pm pacific time.

 

for anyone who is getting or has gotten errors with SKSE, its because script dragon loves to fuck-up skse and screw many of your other mods.

 

closest thing to a solution i could figure out: http://abyssalgames.net/index.php?/topic/71-skse-scriptdragon-with-skyrim/

(let me know if you cant view as a guest)

 

you will need to search for both and delete them, or rename them...

[Serpentus]

I'm playing it and i have no bug at all for now. I must say that the quests are beautiful. Bethesda have done a great job

might be time to phase script dragon out, with the mods official site down anyway

 

only used it cause i liked to block while in spellsword mode

After a vampire thrall attack at one of the existing towns , go talk to one of the guards about it and you should pretty much get a Dawnguard quest thrust upon you

funny thing is that is not how the whole dlc started for me i never even saw a vampire attack till after i completed the vampire quest line and shot a arrow into the sun (maybe i was just lucky)

 

i started by having a dawnguard recruiter asking me to join in riverwood

[soljer13]

I got a problem that has me abit bummed out. I became a vampire lord and my nord didnt get her glowing eyes. at first I thought it was because of "The Eyes of Beauty" mod wich I disabled + deleted all textures, but still the Harkon-like glowing eyes are limited to certain npcs. A high elf has normal glowing eyes, my character has completly normal human eyes, and other female npcs wich SHOULD have harkon like glowing eyes have normal eyes. Serana has glowing normal eyes too.

[burt78]

Game is much better right nao - no crash 2 desktop, works with most of my CBBE mods.

 

BTW.Do not become a werewolf, because this fuck up your Vampire Lord perk tree( thanx god 4 saves).

 

Also, Hey sexy lady...

 

[soljer13]

ive been able to resolve my problem somewhat. Apparently every single vampire nord that isnt serana is being affected

[danund]

My eyes are fffffffucked. No glow, regular eyes most of the time except when they suddenly decided to freak out and invert themselves, at least I THINK that's what's happening.

[gaikerx]

There is no Japanese voice version?

[GodSmack]

dawnguard breaks vampire/lycan hybrids

meaning you cant be both anymore

 

im afraid to use the ring of hircine since it reverts u back to human for some reason >_>

[Huniken]

Dawnguard works with me no problems, with 130 mods online. I just hate the fact that whether you like it or not, your character is turned into a vampire as soon as you install dawnguard. It changed the eyes to ugly red where I had them set on a Naruto sage of the six paths eyes, lost my nice skin face and dragon tattoo as well

 

Went to showracemenue but with a mod NPC then game freeze and had to close it.....gonna try again with command screen.

 

How do you make your self normal and don't have vampire hunger and the need to feed anymore? I hate it, I hate vampires I'm gonna kill them all!!!!

 

/tgm

 

[Brucealso]

I wonder if Dawnguard will come out on a CD, would be nice.

[Aramyr]

So, if your eyes are fucked and not updating to whatever the base file is for PC VLs..which I imagine has to be pulled out of the Dawnguard files themselves, correct me if I am wrong; I did not have any specific eye texture file added anywhere I could find from my Steam download..if your problem is the same as I have with my Breton, they are stuck with one of the basic colors, and will revert to said color whenever you transform into a VL and back, if you just use the console to change them. For any of the humanoid races, the following headache should work: (haven't ever played a vamp Argonian/Khajit, so ymmv as a beast)

 

Best way to fix this is figure out which eye color file you are stuck with, and then replace it with whatever your preferred vampire eye is. Currently using Xenius' replacer that is up on the Nexus myself; think it looks pretty good. Hope this helps, though it can be a huge pain in the ass if you have a lot of eye textures at once and it is not very easy to figure out which of them is what you're stuck as. If anyone has a dummies guide for pulling the eye files from the Dawnguard.bsa, would also appreciate that since I take it that we can't actually share them. Curious to do a side by side comparison with Xen's. Heard a lot of people hate the PC Dawnguard eye glow, which doesn't look like the eyes NPCs have, judging by the player character Dawnguard eye screenshots I've seen vs how NPCs appear in my game. Haven't found a closeup though.

 

Entirely unrelated to the eye issue..has anyone else playing as a vampire had the problem with the vampire seduction power that I currently am and haven't found a way to correct? Power seems to cast and calm the target fine, but when pickpocketing the target at this point to feed, I don't even get the option and can only pickpocket. As a few radiant quests require the feed option, the console has thus far been the only solution. I take it that the Dawnguard main quest I am currently on also requires the power to be in proper working order, and it seems like the console may not fix it? Not quite to that part yet. I haven't/don't run any vampire race mods, so it's not something that simple that is breaking the power to begin with..

 

Edit: Oh, another very random DG bug I came across: the VL quest rings don't display in game when wearing an amulet of zenithar. Seem fine with every other necklace I've tried at this point, so I'm clueless here, too. Really frivolous thing, but if any of you notice your sweet ring graphic vanishing, it could be tied into other necklaces, perhaps?

[Liod]

You may have alreadytried this, but none of the female humans in my game were getting the Dawnguard Vampire eyes until I disabled Skyrim Sizes, I think any height mod interferes.

[Aramyr]

No height mods here..I think the only mods I have running that affect races at all are the obvious hair mod options, and prepatched extended color sliders. Guess I will try turning off the latter, but I doubt it'll fix anything spell related. Though I believe console can get past the issues with inability to feed on seduced targets, I would much prefer to find out why it's borked! Not running any spell mods besides FNIS, but disabiling that also didn't change a thing. Wondering if it could be something in scripts or another area, but I'm not well versed enough in this stuff to know as much as some folks here.

 

Edit: So, after reinstalling Dawnguard, it seems like deactivating prepatched races for extended slider colors fixed the eye problem. Though I think Bretons are bugged and use the wrong eye file, as I have clone of Serana's rather than the yellow look I've seen in screenshots. This is okay though, as her version looks nicer. ;D Still no fix for vampire seduction found yet, and it does appear that being in final stage of vampirism does get me attacked in towns.
