Issue #35017: DLC1WE05: Vampire and death hound corpses not cleaning up

 
For whatever reason, the vampire and death hound in DLC1WE05 aren't being cleaned up properly after leaving the area. When checking the console it shows that the quest is at stage 255, which should indicate it has shut down. This is odd because it appears that the script calls DeleteWhenAble() on both of the actors, though it's possible I'm missing something. Unfortunately, this issue breaks the world encounter spawn point at the location where they spawn, at least until the cell completely resets (usually at least 10 game days). A number of similar issues with world encounters were fixed years ago by removing the "run once" flag, but this particular encounter doesn't have it enabled, so that can be ruled out.

This has happened several times recently, so either it's just the game being stupid or there's a bug in the quest script(s).

is it possible the ussep script for that wasn't properly compiled?
Try recompiling this.

Assuming you're talking to me and not Arthmoor, I'm not entirely sure how to recompile the file and then what do after doing so. Going to guess it's not a simple matter of placing it in my data/scripts folder.

Not for that, but here's a compiled one where you can do exactly that.

Okay, thanks. I'll have to see if that makes a difference in whether they clean up if I happen to get that encounter again. The two NPCs in the existing one that broke still don't clean up for quite some time, which would be expected since whatever change you made likely isn't retroactive.
