Character now showing as "Invisible"

[Sgt_Roo]

Doesn't matter how far I go back savegame wise, my character is now always showing as invisible..

Anyone else had this problem and know a fix please ??

Thanks in anticipation

UPDATE : Turns out it's the SPECTRE ring.. Took it off and back to normal - But as soon as I put it on again, straight back to invisible.

Weird that I was wearing it for about 5 hours and was still visible !

Thanks for your replies !

Same issue, but I noticed it after I ate a bunch of raw alchemy ingredients and now I'm in like a permanent chameleon state, partially invisible. Tried all kinds of things, nothing. Doesn't even show up under active affects.

I have encountered this and have 'fixed' it multiple times. Though I can't say any of these solutions are guaranteed.


I have a potion I make that gives Chameleon for a long time, something like 2-3 minutes long. It seems that if you load a different area, or repeatedly apply the potion Chameleon you'll be locked in this Chameleon state, without the benefit - just the visuals.

1 Solution is to use a Chameleon Spell, or a Chameleon Potion you find in a chest (not made), and let it expire. This one has been the most inconsistent for me but it does work.

The more consistent one is to Quick-Save-Quick-Load. That USUALLY resets it.

Another solution would be to go through the Shivering Isle portal for the first time. And, in a broader sense for this solution; you need to do something in the game that will 'reset' your character, visually. This can be a quest, such as Sanguine's Dreadric Quest, after you cast the spell.

Ok, I fixed it. Saved then exited game, and reloaded. Chameleon bug went away. Keep in mind, seems that if you use anything that causes the effect, you could end up bugged again, until you save and reload.

Edit: And sometimes, it just needs to be waited out. I have had something say "Lasts 326 Seconds", which is a lot longer feeling when you want it to go away.

If you start seeing you limbs and head appear, while you have the effect, close the game and restart; you're going to crash soon.
