    Now that the HD Texture Pack finally finished downloading after 3 days, i cant Sprint when viewing First Person View, but i can Only Sprint when im in Third Person View.

    Im even running Slower in First Person View, but i run Normal at First Person View.

    How do i fix this.

    I’m no expert, but anybody who’s modded for while will tell you that a texture pack can not possibly have an affect on your running speed. It is just not possible.

    I know the running speed is determined by one of the entries in skyrim.ini (or the other .ini file, can’t remember it’s name), that might have changed somehow. I suggest having a look there.

    I fixed the problem, i was in Sneaking Mode. 😛

    What is strange and maybe its a Bug, is when i Mine in Sneak Mode, my Character is in Standing Position after he is done, but he doesent return to Sneak Mode.

    This is a bug, happened to me many times before.

    I think it has something to do with the sneak rolling.

    The only way to even own Skyrim is to have it through Steam, so, DAve, something makes me think that you are a pirate.

    I’m hoping y’all will release a full list of keywords and methods the new scripting language, or as full as you can, a sort of cheat sheet thing. From what I’ve learned of Papyrus so far it’s pretty straight forward, just some of the functions seem like things you would have had to known existed beforehand like .resurrect() or allowFlight(). Pretty straight forward but at the same time I would have never thought it was that simple.

    Also keep up the good work, you guys are brilliant and I absolutely love the creation kit so far,

    I’m having serious issues with this texture pack…I installed it through steam, (naturally), and when i launched the game, all of my internal textures look…wonky and weird, especially the shadows and light sources…almost…jagged and extremely low res. when i exit buildings i also crash. When i turn off the pack in the data files in the launcher, the game looks the same (generally…awful), but i won’t crash. Did I do something wrong? Is there a fix for this? I have no other texture mods that I know of.
