NPCs Attacking During Fast Travel Loading Screen

Since 1.3, we now get a loading screen after even the shortest fast travel screen. During this time NPCs behave as though we are there, and attack, guards question, and then attack. All without any possibility of us reacting.

Yea Im experiencing the same on my end after the patch.

This is happening for me too. That paired with the fact that this patch didn’t fix the one real bug I was experiencing means that the game is now worse for me post-patch!

Also “Password needs to be at least 10 characters” for the forum is stupidly arbitrary. Don’t make people generate long passwords that they aren’t going to remember.

i don’t think they attack, but they do start addressing you while it’s loading. they will come at you after you are loaded

They definitely attack. For me, the first few times they didn’t, but the last time it happened a guy was mid-swing when the screen faded in. It just depends on how far away they are, whether they’re afraid of you, etc.

Add to list of fast travel ‘features’:
-fast travel thru town with weapon drawn and get fined
-fast travel on horse and arrive looking 90 degrees off from forward (and horse head direction)

Same thing here too. I can hear them talking to me and attacking me :(, but my screen is black and loading.

Same here, sadly.

my armor was at 100% and after they attacked me while loading i hit my inventory key once i loaded and my my armor was at 80% after i just repaired.

yeah my armor was destroyed because of this and i almost died WTH!?

Same as well. As a result I am being killed by guards and forced through a loading loop

Same here .


was hit 5 or 6 times while scene loaded (before fade-from-black).

My armor keeps getting trashed this way taking hits and just hearing it not seeing it, also I’ll end up surrounded and any friendly guards are all dead. Didn’t notice this until 1.05
