Unofficial Starfield Patch

I can confirm it. It's out of position for me too and behaves the same way. It seems attached to the whole moving portion of the lift, but is not positioned correctly.

They are off by a full floor as they sink into the ground, so the dev must have thought the helper 0108F99D was set at ground level instead of second floor when he placed the reference. I moved them up about 14.8Z, but they are persistent, so I won't be able to be sure until the next NG for functionality.

Can you send the fix module my way for additional testing? I have NG+'d recently and have not been to Va'ruunk'ai yet.

Here are both CK ESP and ESM Small, but it's not going to fix it.

Very strange thing going on and I'm not sure exactly why yet. Attached the ESP and Small ESM anyway so you can see what I was originally trying for until I looked into it further.

Duplicate dummy Activators that are set to Non-Interactive, opposite of parent 011580A7 marker. They both have the same exact coordinates as the Interactive button activators. While standing there and enabling 011580A7 via console, with my mod enabled, the buttons now go a full floor above the top floor, so 2 floors up. The only difference is I am not coming out of where you go through all the crap with becoming one of them in that cave. There is a human elevator 10 feet behind it with activator 0108F9A6 that takes you to the same exact destination and is enabled right from the start, so I have no idea why the cargo elevator is disabled. Anyway, setting the dummy, non-interactive buttons to opposite of parent 14 and the interactive buttons to enabled parent 14, along with setting the original coordinates, the buttons actually show up in the correct spot. So, I'm at a little bit of a loss as to why this is happening. I haven't gone through the cave yet but will try that soon and get back to you fellers.

Non-Interactive buttons: 011580A7, 011580A8
Interactive buttons: 0108F9AF, 0108F9B5
Enable marker: 011580AA
Physics helper: 0108F99D
Human elevator button: 0108F9A6

A word of mention, when I originally found where the elevator mounted buttons were going, I hit the button on the ground level while the elevator was up and sprinted over to where they were hovering. They did go through the ground and I did TCL to verify they were indeed down there. Those buttons are only visible one way because of the mesh.

Went through the cave and completed The Promised, Broken. That end quest enabled the normal 011580AA marker and the buttons remained in the correct place with 14 as a parent. This tells me that the physics helper 0108F99D seems to be fine. I also see why the elevator was disabled, as I went back before talking to Ekris to complete that quest and there was a Citizen working on the button on the ground floor, which was disabled. So, enabling this elevator from the start is not the final solution. I'll just keep 14 as parent on mine until it can be figured out.

Edit the first reply, I had a copy and paste typo. Enable button is 011580AA, not 011580A7. Supposed to read "Non-Interactive 011580A7, opposite of parent 011580AA marker" and "While standing there and enabling marker 011580AA via console"

Sorry for the confusion.

Follow Up:

On a test going into the next NG+, I simply set the activators parent as 14 instead of enable marker 011580AA with NO position changes. Obviously they werre available immediately, but oddly the buttons remained through the whole questline correctly positioned and never changed. I'm a little at a loss as to what changes this when left normal marker as parent as it almost seems like an engine level problem.

Beta states the following, so hopefully they fixed it:

Addressed an issue with the buttons on the lift on the Mourning level in Dazra.

This has been fixed as of Patch 1.15.214.
