I do not know what I am doing wrong. Get knocked off my mount when I enter some cities but not others. It may even be some entrances but not others though I am not keeping track of things.

MMORPGs tend to have consistency with things like this so I am expecting it is a user error. What am I doing wrong?

    Is this in the list of known issues Zenimax has recognized and is working on? Does Zenimax have an actual list of known issues? I would have thought the "Dev Tracker link would have been such a page but it is merely a disorganized list of posts in threads.

    and thanks for the reply.

    I'm not sure if they have it on their list of things to fix, but you can report bugs in game by typing /bug in chat.

    The more people that complain about it, the faster it gets fixed.

    I agree that it's very annoying.

    There is an arch in the vampire area in Cold Harbour that kicked me of my horse the other day. 🙄

    Apparently some areas are mysteriously designated "indoors" and you auto-dismount.

    If only they could designate banks and crafting stations as "water" and then pets would temporarily de-spawn. It would be great.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Maybe they don't want players with a bounty to just mount and run past guards in and out of cities.

    Was using going through dark brotherhood line on several alts to take advantage of double xp, where once I could just mount past guards and do my sprees, I now get dismounted and have to get chased by guards.

    If they have a list of things they know about, they dont share it with the players
    So if they do have a list and this is on it, only ZoS knows

    It was probably one of the "performance" improvements making cities separate from the outside.

    Still, no reason to force us to dismount.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    It's an ancient bug necro'd back into unlife in a recent patch/update.

    It's probably been said before, maybe by me, that it will get fixed eventually. And then it will re-appear again.

    I think the last time this bug was 'live' was a few years ago and it took many, many months for them to almost fix it (Daggerfall gate was a noticeable exception to that fix, as I recall).

    It's not you. Being dismounted when riding under an arch or open gate, etc is not intended. I think they are gradually correcting the situation because a few places will no longer cause you to dismount. For example, you can (now) ride under the bridge that is near wayrest sewers without dismounting.

    .

    Some time ago Zenimax said they were working on them and asked people to report them. As they've not been fixed I suggest you also faithfully /report them all. Likewise all the broken steps that you have to jump up in U29

    This would make sense, however, Wayrest has a door that forces me to dismount that is right next to two doors that do not force me to dismount. I tested it just now and the doors I speak of are near where we pick up the quests to do dungeons.

    Thanks for all the information provided by all these good people.

    This isn't only happening when entering cities. There are lots of arches everywhere that are dismounting you. Noticed this while doing the Psijic questline and running under a few random, different sized arches.
