Archery arrow is way above the cursor
I had Skyrim for a few years now and I was always into archery. I know that the arrow flys a tad bit higher than the cursor and got used to it. I had to clean out everything in my Skyrim because I tried to install a enb and it kinda failed. So I have a fresh Skyrim and install every mod I had before. The only thing now is that the arrow flies higher than the cursor but it wasn't like before. It flys a foot higher than the cursor. I looked at so many other forums about it and ppl are saying to adjust the Skyrim.ini so the arrow hits the center but I dont like that. I like the immersion of the arrow above the cursor a little. I uninstalled all my mods to try if one of them were making it like this and I couldn't find it. I looked through the Skyrim.ini to see if any of the settings in that were wrong and they looked pretty normal. If anybody knows how to fix this problem I'd be so happy. I loved Skyrim and now I barely want to play because of this small problem. I tried for a whole day to fix it. Any solutions would be appreciated. Thanks. I have uninstalled all my mods and reinstalled them again. Still is glitched.

To sum up your wall of text, you are not complaining that the arrows hit above the crosshair, you actually like that because it stimulates the arc in archery. However your problem is that the arrows hit higher than usual.

Am I correct so far?

lol yea. Sorry about all the information there.

Going with Occam's Razor first, are you sure you are just not used to the default setting?

EDIT: A video/screenshot demonstration would be nice.

Pretty sure. The arrow should only go a little above the cursor right?

You'd need an external program like Fraps or MSI Afterburner (the first has a free trial version while the latter is entirely free) and then upload the resulting video to either a file-sharing website like Dropbox or just up onto YouTube.

I can't even load a save anymore. My Skyrim is so buggy for some reason.
ATiltedMango Sep 20, 2014 @ 7:33pm 
I got the save loaded and when I hit f9 the numbers turned red but it also said could not quick load because the save file was corrupted. Could that be the problem?

If you have any mods that change the speed of the arrows that will affect their trajectory. Do you have skre or abt installed?

It's worth considering that the arrows have a bit of an arc to them. Fire at close range, you should expect the arrow to hit high. Fire at long range, you should expect them to hit low.

I do cold knights. Could that be the reason? In the installation I changed the speen of them to 50% more

........................................................................................................................yes............................................................
Edit: I use SkyRe which makes arrows go above like you said...wouldn't happen to be using SkyRe would you? Or the indivual mod that does what SkyRe does...

Oh lol. Im stupid. I didnt realize that'd change the projectory. I thought it'd only affect speed. Thank you for the help. I'll change that
