Most quest markers are not showing up.
Topic says it. Seems only a couple of my main quest markers are showing up. None of my side quests are showing, and like 3 of my main quests are showing. Anyone have any advice here?

My skyrim sometimes glitches like that. My fix is to uncheck any quest I have marked, save and restart the game. When I select the quest next time, the markers show up. You also might want to check for conflicts in the mods you have installed.

I've tried that and no dice.

Must be what I'm getting. Problem is without looking them up online I have no clue where some of the people I'm supposed to find are, and while to some people that's part of the fun (finding them), to me it's a terrible time sink spending hours just looking for the right NPC to turn in a side quest.

Did you click to activate the quest markers? On the quest screen you can select and deselect quests which turn the markers on an off for said quest.

Yes I'm selecting the quest I want to track.

Open your SkyrimPrefs file located in my games>skyrim Then look for bshowquestmarkers and if it's on 0 switch it to 1

This may be helpful to some, if it is a Misc. quest. Selecting the quest itself will have no effect IF the Misc. quest category is not clicked. The quest panel is broken into two panels, the left panel (with all the main quests) is the panel with the Misc subgenre; click that one to track ALL the Misc. quests on the right panel.

Sorry for "necroing" this thread to those that care about that sorta thing; but, thanks for this tip man. After 8 years I never noticed this specificity. I just happened to fire up a mod that falls under "Misc" and absolutely needs markers or you'll never find the pieces. I guess after all these years I just happened to have it checked when I needed it to be; so funny. :awkward:

Thanks, pal. :d2brewmaster:

Thank you, it helped me now XD
The problem for misc quest markers not showing is because you need to select "miscellaneous", not just the individual misc quests. It's kinda stupid.
