"Alduin approaches" bug

[Tryst49]

Just did a search and this has been an on-going bug posted here in 2013 and still not fixed.

I got around it by not moving the mouse during the cutscene but you miss a lot of the action since you have your back to it until Alduin lands and starts attacking, then you can move the mouse and turn around.

After all this time, I would have thought such a game stopping bug would have been fixed long ago. Typical that Bethesda have not bothered now they have moved on to other things, it seems that TES is not worth their time, even to fix a game stopping bug.

hard save your game before reading the scroll
exit game
start game
load save
read scroll

works everytime for me when i encounter this bug
tho it might not work for you first try might work after 2 or 3

just after cutscene, point your mouse on Alduin, open console and type disable, then enable. And it fix problem

But why should we HAVE to do these work-arounds after all this time? Bethesda should have fixed this game breaking bug YEARS ago.

lol you obviously dont know Bethesda then
they never fix bugs just rarely they fix the critical ones
rest of bugs modders have to fix or you have to use silly workarounds like this one i posted

None of the above worked for me, but I did find another solution that did work...

Open up the console and type in "enableplayercontrols", hit return and then walk around for a bit and Alduin finally decides to show up. Worked for me anyway.

It breaks the game by preventing the players to continue playing, therefor it is a critical bug.

It is 2020, and the bug is still yet to be fixed

Even with Unofficial Legendary Edition Patch?
I haven't seen this issue ever again when using this patch.

That's not the point.

There have been 2 recompiles since this bug was reported several times after the original Skyrim releasse. Yet, they never even bothered to correct it before recompiling to 64 bit Special Edition and again for the VR version.

They have left it to modders to create bug fixes for their game. In my view, that's not good business ethics and was also the reason I refused to buy any of the titles that came after Skyrim such as Dishonoured, Doom and Wolfenstein etc. They should support thier own games, not leave it to modders to correct all the time while they make more money with another pile of bugged garbage.
