Dimhollow crypt button not working

[Felix]

whenever i press the button to start the puzzle with the purple fire thingies it plays the animation then nothing happens afterwards and no matter how much i press it nothing happens

[Felix]

ive tried console commands and reloading saves but nothing has worked does anyone have some specific console commands they can give me to help me do this?

[Felix]

ive looked at the usep forum and the same bug i have is there but i cant find the fix for it

Do you mean this bug?

"Upon pressing the button in the center of the room, the initial bit of purple fire will appear, but the quest arrow above the button will not disappear. The columns will move and there will still be vibration and whatnot when it's in the right place, but the purple fire will not respond. When all columns are in place, nothing happens."

Frankly, if reloading a save doesn't fix it, I don't think anything will.
Sure, you could skip it with console commands, but that would break all sorts of ♥♥♥♥ because there's probably a dozen scripts attached to it.

I've never had that bug myself, and in fact this is the first time I hear about it.

No expert by any means, but, can you view your save file with Resaver to see if there's script bloat ?

If there is script bloat, this can cause scripts to delay enough that they can never fire up. Papyrus scripts at work, this is what corrupts saves even in an unmodded game.

Resaver only deactivates those scripts, it doesn't remove them, despite what people believe, and those scripts can reactivate at any time.

Resaver is an ok tool, but it is NOT a permanent solution.

It's a permanent solution if you track down script bloat and next time you make a new game, you trim down on that, right ?

Completely right, it should be used more as an examining tool and not as a repair tool.
