Paralyzing an enemy with expert marksmanship immediately crashes the game

[Captain_Frag]

I've gotten marksmanship up over 75 and now, whenever my bow paralyzes someone, the game crashes within a second. I'll see the enemy go stiff and begin to topple over and then, boom, back at the desktop with an Unreal Engine error dialog.

1. Navigate to

%HOMEPATH%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\Config\Windows

2. Add this to Altar.ini (it is empty initially):

[/script/ue5altarpairing.voblivioninitialsettings]
PerkMarksmanExpertParalyzeChance=0.000000
PerkMarksmanMasterParalyzeChance=0.000000

This disables paralysis effect for expert and master marksman.


Btw the issue does not happen for everyone, only on some specific hardware

Thanks, this fixed the issue for me. It's odd too, it seems to be for specific enemies in the Shivering Isles more than anything.

Will keep note of this. Getting dangerously close to 75 Marksman. Only time I get consistent crashes is doing my time in prison, so I get an excuse to kill guards if I don't feel like paying them.

Note that it's not just your paralysis that causes this either. Some NPCs can have the perk as well (Dark Seducers did it for me once when fighting the Saints, as well as a Legion Forester fighting a bear) it seems that ANY paralysis on an already paralyzed target can do it Marksman is just the most common since it's like a 50% chance at level 100.

I've tested this out several times, both from Paralyzing with Spells, Staves, and a Bow. The only time I crash is when an enemy gets Paralyzed and they're flipping out, either twerking on the ground, spinning in mid air, or flipping out in some weird break dancing routine and I strike them again... boom, I crash. But if I Paralyze an enemy and they just fall to the ground stiff as a board, (like how it's supposed to), and I strike them... I don't crash.

I have had this same issue. I really took notice of it when I was leveling marksman with the "punching bag" prisoner in Deepscorn Hollow. I also noticed that if I waited until the green aura dissipated before shooting him or any other target again, the crash usually does not happen.

Can't wait to level marksman until it crashes

[lailaamell]

Its an issue if you apply 2 paralysis effects game aparently cant handle that lvl of power

[PocketYoda]

I had paralysis arrows and i haven't luckily crashed yet.

I've noticed this happening too. For me it didn't start until I reached Shivering Isles, now it happens like clockwork. The enemy gets hit, starts defying gravity randomly, then the game crashes.

Touch wood I have yet to see this issue and just hit 75 yesterday. So far all the shots that trigger paralyse have not crashed. Only thing I can think of is that I am not using upscaling as its prone to cause CTD's. It might be related to the skill crash if its trying to do an effect and failing to scale it properly or similar.

I think there is a mod to fix it

Make sure to remove it when a proper patch (if) is released

There is, but last i checked using the mod it break more stuff (traps to tell one) so make sure you read the comments on that mod to see if it still does side effects.

Now to be fair, i checked it over a week ago, maybe they updated it and fixed the extra stuff it broke.

yeah my crashes happen only in shivering isles, most of the time on the elytra(insects) but not for a second stun but when it wears of and the game says, "no, you can't stand up" and crashes, like 8 times this morning(saving after every fight now.....)if i kill them in stun duration, it's ok even if they lose gravity.. i really hope that gets fixed asap.....
