Bug - Cant sleep, enemy nearby

[Jan]

a bit of a report for the devs, a bit of an ooof for me.

i seem too be stuck in an endless bug where the gamer thinks an enemy is nearby yet im in a town inside an inn after paying for a room. cant sleep so cant level up. unsure when it happened so yeah, new save inbound :(

if anyone has had this bug and or knows a fix, much appreciated

Completely shut the game and reload? This bug was fixed by unofficial patches decades ago. Shame, they did not use a simple copy paste to bring tens of thousands of bug fixes to the game.

I’m experiencing the same exact bug. Can’t sleep anywhere, can’t wait, and can’t fast travel. Because I can’t sleep, I can’t level up. Total dead stop to me being able to play the game.

User error.

Just found a solution. Get arrested. For some reason, Jail time seemed to reset it back to normal. I just got caught pickpocketing on purpose. Good luck!

This bug was a common issue in the original as well. It was fixed by Oblivion unofficial patch for the original. Stupid that they didn't even think about including the fixes in that wonderful mod. It's a very easy fix so hopefully they will patch it one day.

Okay so I have the same bug. Except it’s the guards are always Aggro. How th do I get them to arrest me. Skyrim you would just sheathe your weapons and then the guard would take you in. Can you not surrender in oblivion? How am I to fix this issue if I can’t get arrested?

That's an original oblivion glitch. Enemies will follow you forever and glitch you out this way

To surrender in oblivion you hold block button and then try to talk to the person.

You can do this with any npc btw, and if they have high enough disposition with you, they will accept your surrender.

Just adding to this for those who encounter the same bug, paying gold to get a pardon from the sentence also solves the bug, so you can avoid going to jail that way
Just steal something in front of someone or attack a guard, pay a fine, and the bug should be gone!

in my case attacking was useless because all the guards were already "in combat", so I had to steal to trigger them. I advise you not to use the command console because there are some bugs on the remastered version that make all the AI related commands irreversible, I had to reload the save.
