Hi, does the mod still mess up dragon riding?

Can't wait for special Edition Port. This one of the best dragon mods!

There seems to be issues with Dragon riding still. Not 100% sure why as I thought I had fixed that.

Mod requires Dragonborn and Dawnguard. Other than missing one of these, I'm not sure what could be causing a crash.

I know I'm going at a glacial pace - and I appreciate the patience.

Just know, I am still here! I also intend to port this over to the Enhanced Edition at some point (This version takes priority, though)

Anyone else having issues with this mod? It keeps crashing my game and I can't find the reason. have both DLCs
Izzy 2 Nov, 2016 @ 12:20pm 
Yeah, this mod fucks up dragon riding. Just turn it off, do whatever you have to do and turn it on again (if you want). It won't mess up anything if you disable it for awhile while you finish that quest.

I'm having the same issues with riding dragons, it's making it impossible to complete the main Solstheim questline as you're supposed to use Bend Will on Miraak's dragon in Apocrypha and use it to ride to the battle with Miraak.

I can see if disabling this and the other mod makes a difference. That should at least let me finish the quest. If not... well that was a lvl 40 save, I doubt anyone would be happy about losing that...

Sorry to bother you buuuut...
Strangely enough, i'm having problems with dragon-riding and its linked to this mod, I get on and then the dragon flies off, while I float-sit in the air. Other then that this mod is great, but it would be nice if dragon riding worked with the mod.
Setnja 7 Aug, 2016 @ 10:08am 
I have a problem, whenever I want to get on the dragon, I'll sit a meter above the ground, in the air. The dragon flies, my character moves as if I flew with him, but remain in the mentioned position. Anyone have any idea what it might be? :steamsad:
It happened to me both during the campaign Dragonborn, and normally in space Skyrim.
I have a legendary edition Skyrim, no unofficial patch. I use several mods, no additional one, which would influence the dragons in a similar way.

Does this affect Alduin at the end of the main quest as well?
Niylark 5 Feb, 2016 @ 10:32am 
does this work with the "Diverse Dragons" mod? i don't wanna break my game haha
TravelingWater 3 Feb, 2016 @ 6:55pm 
I'm with Beema; Dragonborn, but no Dawnguard. Your requirements make sense; I just really miss the epic battles. Killing dragons is a walk in the park now, especially with a follower. Any chance of releasing an older version without the DLC requirements?
beema 3 Feb, 2016 @ 10:28am 
I have Dragonborn but not Dawnguard :-/
Kenomica  [author] 3 Feb, 2016 @ 12:34am 
Thank you for bringing it to my attention. @Beema - Do you have Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLC? These are now required for the mod (Dragonborn in order to fix the riding issue people were having, and Dawnguard to also give the Dawnguard dragons the same treatment)

It's the only thing I can imagine causing a crash. I'll continue to look in to it.
beema 2 Feb, 2016 @ 8:26pm 
As TravelingWater mentioned, this mod is now causing CTD after the Bethesda screen ever since the latest Steam platform update. I have no idea what that means.
TravelingWater 21 Jan, 2016 @ 7:12pm 
I believe this mod is now causing a crash on the title screen (directly after the Bethesda splash screen). It was working perfectly until the update on Jan 19. Did you change the requirements for the Mod to include Dawnguard during that update? That's DLC I don't want or need, but I was enjoying the hell out of your mod. Any chance of fixing this for those of us who don't have it? It's a freakin great mod, and I'd hate to uninstall it because of this!
PapiwA 19 Jan, 2016 @ 9:05pm 
Thank you too
Kenomica  [author] 19 Jan, 2016 @ 10:14am 
Patch notes are up, thank you all for your continued support. You guys are awesome!
PapiwA 29 Sep, 2015 @ 10:06am 
Hey dev, can you apply the fix that @Norwin found plz
Hinko 11 Sep, 2015 @ 2:30pm 
Mirak is still gonna steal my souls isnt he :<
Norwin 6 Sep, 2015 @ 4:20pm 
Kenomica (and other interested parties)- Great mod, I came from 'the other' source but... yes it (IS POSSIBLE) to fix dragon riding issue, rather easily. Editor ID DragonRace (FormID 12E82) needs to have "Allow Mounted Combat" flag set, that is it. Allows riding and targeting to work but beyond that there may be other tweeks that can/may/should be done. Thank you for your great contribution with this mod.
OneofakindKnight 12 May, 2015 @ 11:35am 
Sounds awesome, as I did sigh at the sight of a dragon. I'm not sure about buffing Alduin, though.... I've never fought him yet, but that sounds difficult. xD
Nami 11 May, 2015 @ 4:18am 
After i instaled this mod the dragons keep constanly atacking windhelm and any time i fast travel to a city a dragon flyes over it but does not attack anybody just fly by and disapears.
Kenomica  [author] 25 Apr, 2015 @ 11:31pm 
Hey guys, I am sorry for not posting or updating in a long time, this was always a hobby project that I honestly never expected to get so popular!

I am a father, and an indie game developer - so as you can imagine, my spare time is VERY limited! I still plan on eventually fixing the bug with riding dragons (IF POSSIBLE) and tweaking the balance, as well as adding in the DLC draggons, since the DLC has been out long enough for most people to have it.
ZoominSomin 25 Apr, 2015 @ 9:02am 
Does this mod still work even after what happened in our beloved workshop?
Yersinis Von Squeak 1 Mar, 2015 @ 6:42am 
Suggestion - Perhaps some options in the menu to adjust how strong they are? Like possibly make them even stronger or slightly toned down..I do think dragons were WAY too weak before this, but (not complaining that they are way too hard now) they kinda wear you out after a while, ie, looking for stuff for potions in wilds, oh hey a dragon, 10 mins later, fast travel to Windhelm, oh hey another dragon wants me dead
Batu 29 Dec, 2014 @ 11:08pm 
Something with this mod will/can prevent you from flying on dragons. It will leave you sitting in the air as the dragon flies off. DISABLE this mod and it will allow you to ride dragons. Mod Creator needs to fix this.
Frikster 27 Dec, 2014 @ 10:08am 
Does this mod work with tougher and smarter dragons?
OvO|Mexido 8 Dec, 2014 @ 5:44am 
Does this mod works with Smarter dragons ?
Blackfire Valkryie 27 Nov, 2014 @ 9:12am 
Great Mod here! the dragons are a threat at the vanilla level either way but making the Dragon Born Essential to the fight is just EPIC! Like the toughness of the dragons. after all they are the suppose to be the toughest fights out there.
Maverick 27 Oct, 2014 @ 12:21pm 
For some reason even after I have unsubscribed this mod (due to incompatibilities) it seems as though it is still active. The dragons are ridicuously tough (I am a level 40 and even with Novice on) and I still get the "Dragons are vulnerable" message in the top right corner. Is there anyway to fully take away the mod from my game or get rid of these side effects?
Alvas 15 Oct, 2014 @ 1:06pm 
does this mod conflict with the Dragon Loot mods?
Gentleman-Velociraptors 21 Sep, 2014 @ 12:49pm 
It is sad that dragons do take less damage from NPC's in the vanilla game, isn't it?
peajay64 7 Sep, 2014 @ 6:47pm 
THIS MOD HAS DESTOYED MY GAME!
Vanilla Fish 1 Sep, 2014 @ 2:35pm 
This mod does a fantastic job of making dragons much stronger while still being balanced and fair to the player, I'd reccommend it over any of the other dragon boosting mods I've found which, more often then not, either make fighting a dragon tedious or broken.

To the Author (Possible spoilers?): I can't quite recall and I'm not sure if you have fixed this yet, but Durnehviir durring his initial boss battle doesn't seem to be scaled while the twin dragons are. I assume it was purposeful or could've been difficult to modify Durn because he is a summon for the player, I'm just curious why he wasn't buffed. And If this mod does buff him, I apologize, I'm going off memory from some time ago before I took a break from Skyrim.
BlueVortex 18 Aug, 2014 @ 2:24pm 
Ah ok. That would make sense then. Thanks!
Kenomica  [author] 18 Aug, 2014 @ 12:00pm 
@EmeraldBlaze - it could be that the dragons you are fighting have spawned BEFORE uninstalling the mod. Some dragons spawn and roam the world long before you encounter them.
BlueVortex 18 Aug, 2014 @ 10:38am 
Anyway, interesting mod, but like people have said, it appears to not be compatible with Dragonborn. I liked how you added the shouts to the dragons though, sounded epic!
BlueVortex 18 Aug, 2014 @ 10:36am 
In response to my last comment, I've found that entering "recycleactor" in the console while the dragon is selected resets it to its vanilla settings.
BlueVortex 17 Aug, 2014 @ 7:56pm 
How can you properly uninstall this? I've done what it said on the Nexus and removed the data file from the computer as well as unsubscribe, but the dragons that appear in my game are still really powerful, as if nothing changed. What should I do?
Forsaken Buge 13 Aug, 2014 @ 3:02pm 
A dragon crashed into the ground and sense I got a mod with a lighting dragon from black marsh it killed all of my followers.
Vincent von Helsing 27 Jul, 2014 @ 4:48pm 
I mean, I've had a dragon fly away from me just to fight a Chaurus several yards away and it's stupid to chase down that dragon.
Vincent von Helsing 27 Jul, 2014 @ 4:44pm 
I have a wonderful suggestion, can you make the dragons stay around the player more often so you won't have to wait for a dragon to come near JUST to have a shot at him.
The Space Butterfly 23 Jul, 2014 @ 3:57pm 
Fought 2 blood dragons with this. Dear god, it was epic. They died. Also fought some bandits while fighting the dragons. They died too.
bostick189 19 Jul, 2014 @ 4:19pm 
lol its your funeral
The Space Butterfly 11 Jul, 2014 @ 6:12pm 
*Gets more dragons mod*

*Gets this mod*

Let the gates of Oblivion be opened! MWAHGAAGGGHAHHA!!!
MaeLSTRoM 8 Jul, 2014 @ 9:05pm 
well I'm pretty sure that, if we had dragon in real life, a single bite would've killed anyone healthy as fuck while fully armed. I mean, even crocodile's biting force measures up to 2200kg. A bigass dragon like that probably could chew concrete like marshmellows...
Lunariastachvresia 8 Jul, 2014 @ 2:06pm 
plz
Lunariastachvresia 8 Jul, 2014 @ 2:06pm 
can u make dragons fall out of the sky if you kill one midair?
John Kagurabachi 6 Jul, 2014 @ 8:46am 
Oh, so you only amped up bite damage by a little bit? Try telling that to my Dragonborn with 250 health who got KO'd by a single dragon bite at 75% health
oo8D 3 May, 2014 @ 6:17am 
This is my favourite mod of all time. Just adds so much more realism to the game.
