Stuck NEXT to wagon when starting new game

[Baguette]

As the title says, im stuck. Once i start the game, when the black space dissappears and says "presents", i am literally looking at a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shovel. i cant move or do anything but look around. i dont move and the horses are trying to push the cart like they are playing tf2. anyone know a way to fix this?

any mods loaded? the wagon is suppose to carry you to Helgan as a prisoner as part of the tutorial mission

[★Kelvy★]

Either graphic settings or mod like Helgen reborn

[Baguette]

no mods loaded that's directly towards Helgan. Also my graphics card should not be the issue since im running AMD 7970.

Try capping your refresh rate to 60HZ until after the Helgen Tutorial. I am able to use 120HZ without problems, but some refresh rates cause problems with the games engine.

What does LOOT show, list your game
I have a AMD 7900 series card and set at high
They are probable causes not an actual causes just stating some obvious reasons for it.

no problems here either, mine is 144hz and didn't have a problem with that mission start

It doesn't necessarily cause issues for everyone, but it is a known problem, although I think it usually manifests in the carts bumping/flying around due to the physics going wild.

i capped it at 60HZ already but its still setting me up outside the wagon. Heres a link to photos of what im currently having an issue with. (no mods from nexus mod manager but a few mods like Enhanced cities series. took out helgan enhanced cities just in case) http://imgur.com/a/IARG0

Might be worth trying to start the game with *all* mods deactivated (unless you have any that absolutely 100% have to be in the game from the start, for example I think Requiem doesn't initialise properly if you don't load it at the beginning, or at the very least before you go into the keep.) (Also, hilarious captions!)

I know of 3 sure fire things that will do this:
Bad immersive armors install
Having Helgen Reborn loaded up in a vanilla start
changing your animation mods around and not updating FNIS

I had this same issue with Helgen Reborn. My solution is to start a New Game, observe the bug, then Quit to the Main Menu (don't quit the whole game), and then click "New Game" right afterwards. You should then be inside the cart and everything should proceed normally from there.

That worked both of the times I've tried it, anyways, so it seems consistent. Something about scripts needing to be set to a certain state that isn't handled correctly the first time or something, I imagine... A strange 'fix' to be sure, but it seems to work for me.

I usually start the game with all mods installed, but with most mod esps deactivated until I enter Helgen Keep to avoid conflicts.

The only mods I have activated are the ones used for character creation such as Racemenu, Eyes of Beauty, and Apachii Skyhair. I also leave texture mods active since they don't usually cause conflicts except with other texture mods.

The only other mods you should have activated are ones that require a new game to work properly.

hhmmm i just tried your approach to solving this problem "camron bro" and it actually worked. I'm going to install my mods in a few at a time to see if it works (just in case). Thank you to all that replied to this c:

thank you.
helgen did this for me on SE.
And it was a long time since my oldrim moded playthroughs to combine the two (problem and cause).
i was on a 2 days straight troubleshooting, installing, Uninstalling game files, mods, changing loading order trial and error all the time because of (what I later found was the cause) the se been considered an AE version with the latest update and me installing SE files for AE needed for mods...then figuring all that out to end up outside of the wagon, trust me I was all ready to dizzy / burned out then the dragonborn at the opening scene to be able to think straight !!
Thank you for this small but critical info !!! feels like I dropped 60 psi form my brain steam pressure now, so calmed ! 😂

Running the GenerateFNIS app again worked for me. Thanks Shrap!
