Forum:Cannot find this bug listed

I can not find this bug listed anywhere. When i start up a game, be it new or loaded save, NPCs who are perform automatic dialogue (for example meeting up with lyon's when liberty prime is activated), or any similar type of dialogue/script will seem to "forget" what they are doing and be unresponsive. Occasionally doing a disable/enable or resurrect fixes them, if only for the next action they were supposed to do. This is preventing me from enjoying most of the quest based parts of the game, I end up having to use console commands to get past everything.

One example of this frustration is when starting a fresh game. (assuming the scripts don't lock up at the part where you are being born) Dad will be stuck asking you to come over to him in the play pen until i resurrect him. Then he talks to me, i have to resurrect again, then he leaves the room. When he comes back into the room i have to resurrect him again a few times until we finally go off to the next scene of the birthday party.

Everything else in the game works fine.

Is there any way to fix this? I currently have all the addons on the latest patch from the official website as of december 11.

Do you have any mods installed? If yes, they are most likely the source of your problem.

If no, then I would try reinstalling the game and patches and see if the problem goes away.--24.145.220.146 22:59, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

I've had these issues with and without mods, reinstalled quite a few times as a first attempt to fix this issue. 70.55.150.103 23:10, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

The problem seems to originate from playing with no sound card enabled. I was playing on an old server machine that did not have a use for sound before, and had no card at all (not even on-board). Installed an old lousy card and problem seems to have magically disappeared, shortly after the card seems to have died, and now the problem is back. Going to get a new one i nthe next couple of weeks to test for certain. 70.55.150.103 14:32, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
