Quest marker/Compass is bugged?

[DaniTheHero]

I've been playing skyrim Special edition for a couple of days now and i've noticed a very bothersome bug.

The quest marker/compass is exteremly broken for me. Most quests aren't even appearing on the compass at all, and the ones that do , most have the marker completely wrong.

For example if my quest is to enter a specific cave, i could be looking directly at the cave but the marker points somewhere else , while pressing M and looking at the map does confirm that the cave infront of me is the correct place.

The only mods i'm using is the unofficial skyrim patch and achievmenet enabler.

Too many active quests tend to bug the markers out. This was an issue in the old game as well.

Even having two quests acrtive doesn't fix the issue. they either don't appear or they do appear but guide me towards a wrong location.

Fast travel to the location you are currently at, they quest markers should be fixed, it sounds like you've just jumped off a mountain after exiting a dungeon or jumped off the roof of a fort, instead of going back through the dungeon so the quest marker is still pointing you towards the top of that mountain/ fort.
Save and reload, fast travel and maybe even just unactivating the quest then reactivating it should fix it.

I had a quest to go to Shadowgreen Cavern to retrieve a book but on the map it looked like the marker was on a hill where the Thalmor Embassy was located. I think it is the way the map points out the northernmost places and is not necessarily a bug.

There are some situations there the marker confuses me.
For example in the dungeon where the marker shows a door in the direction of the entrance but on the lower level (especially in Falmer caves)
Then I use Clairvoyance spell.
With the exception of Fort Dawnguard (marker shows different ebtrance than the map) I have never found the markers bugged.

I'm on vanilla and I don't get the quest marker issue but I do get the map direction arrow fault where it point in a random direction to what I'm facng

I can't be the only one experiecing this issue, i've found a few complaints from OG skyrim online but no actual fixes.

Man you sure resurected this post haha.

Either way, i wish you good luck in finding a solution, since i never did.
Not like i'll play Skyrim or any Betesehda game ever again anyways.

just wondering, are you in the beta? because I've had this problem a few times. Along with having to save and reload for weather as well.
