Bugged Corpse Masher

[Fast and Furious]

In Oblivion biomes the Corpse Mashers (elevator platforms in the towers) are consistently bugged in my game:
When I get on the platform and it starts lifting I stay on it for a while, then my character gets "kicked off" from it. I spent about half an hour to stay on one of these. Did it by pure luck and constantly jumping. This is a very annoying bug and I seriously considered using console command to fly up due to this. Please fix this!

Any fix for this yet? Stuck in the main quest in the Bruma gate. I don't want to use console commands as I want achievements. Thanks

Yeah, it seems like if you go out the tower, go back in and don't quicksave or save before stepping onto the platform, then you will stay on it long enough. At least this is what I experienced.

75+ acrobatics can skip any corpse masher segment in any plane of oblivion. Can also use a spell to buff it for rock climbing but base skill needs to be 75 for lava skipping. Water walk spell/ring also works.

Seems to kick off when changing weapons

Thanks, I ended up using a combination of many health potions to just run across the lava and then jump up against some pillars to skip that first corpse masher section.

Nothing but jumping constantly while going up worked for me

Weird... I've done about 20 Oblivion gates with plenty of corpse mashers and had no issue with any of them.

It might help to find out what you have in common with regard to drivers, settings or controls that might cause this strange behavior...

This is connected to FPS for me. Uncapped FPS, and I get the bug (also happened in a cage over lava in another quest). Once I cap the FPS to 60 it no longer happens. The screen tearing gets a lot worse then, so it looks better uncapped. So my advice is to change the FPS limiter when using the corpse mashers.

Go fast in the middle of the elevetor and stand still dont move your char or the camera

Same here. Extremely annoying. Nothing seems to make any difference. It's like a localized tornado in the middle of the corpse masher pushes you away. Hopefully they have someone working on this. The only workaround I've found is to download a mod which prevents the disabling of achievements after using console commands, then using the fly command.
