Category:Troubleshooting

This is a collection of articles on troubleshooting TES IV problems -- gotchas, common mistakes, CS bugs, etc. The basic ideas and topics were originally discussed in this ESF thread.

The original list started back in February 2007 has grown to the point that it needed to be split into separate articles. These articles list of some common mistakes and their effects on players and/or the CS. Please suggest more ideas if you can.

Crashes - Common problems that may cause crashes (CTDs).

Debugging - When something just isn't working right, look here for possible causes and ways to track down the bug.

Performance_Problems - This section is intended as a place to list performance problems and tips, especially those related to scripting.

Fixing_the_AddTopic_Bug - Critical dialog bug fix.

Obscure_Bugs - These issues don't occur very often, and we don't even really know what causes them, but they hurt nonetheless.

Helpful_Programs - These programs can help a lot when troubleshooting.
