Falling through carpets...

Psycho · 08-01-2002, 02:54 PM

I'm jumping around constantly to raise my acrobatics, but I have to save every couple of minutes because I keep falling down... especially jumping on carpets seems to trigger it, but I also fell when jumping on a bridge.
I've had it happen to me with the original file, the 1.065 update and I just had my first fall with the latest patch installed.
Is this a known 'problem', or is my system playing tricks on me?

This has happened to me only once or twice and I'm playing w/o the patch or any mods. It is a recognized bug, at least I've seen it mentioned before in this forum. I thought the patch was supposed to fix it.

I seem to get stuck on stairs or people more often. The non-enchanter mage on the top floor of the Vivec guild is standing right in the middle of the interior doorway that leads to the stairs. I always save when I try to get passed her because I sometimes get stuck. I think I'll kill her once I become guildmaster.

Falling through floors is a bug that has existed in Elder Scrolls games since Daggerfall. It happens to me especially when I'm exiting caves.

Falling through floors/walls/ceilings is a problem that will exist in ANY 3D world as huge as Morrowind.

Yes, it's probably extremely easy to leave a small gap between floor polygons

Thx all... at least I'm not the only one, and it has nothing to do with my system being 17th centurisch.

I get knocked down, but I get up again, yeah they'll never gonna keep me down.
I'll conquer Vvardenfell... even if I have to reload a 1001 times.

(oops... already did reload that many times

)

ah yes getting stuck......just like the old days in ARENA. It was great when the monsters got stuck in the walls and tried as they might to come after you, poor little guys(trolls, wraiths, deamons), they could just not get out of the wall. Poor sorry lot.........had to put them out of their misery all the time......nice to know in some shape or form things haven't changed........so much for the advancement in technology.

Falling through things will be less of a problem if you don't constantly jump a lot. Same goes for getting stuck.
