"Back Door" of Mehrunes Razor dungeon not opening

Post by MidbossVyers »

Typically, when I get the Mehrunes Razor, the "back door" of the dungeon will open. However, it is not doing so now. What could possibly have caused this? My load order is as follows:

Is that an animated door? How many hours?

Animated door, and I was hoping to fix the issue without doing anything weird. If I had to use tcl, I may as well just backtrack through the dungeon, which is a lot faster than going in. What do you mean hours?

When animation stops working (certain doors, flame flicker, visual spell effects act weird) past the 400 hour mark, it's a symptom of the a-bomb bug.

For this particular playthrough, it has only been 19 hours, but are you talking about in total?

Not likely, unless one of your mods advanced the cache problem. I don't recall anyone reporting it who hadn't also played a very long time on the same file.
