Noob question: Keep getting knocked off of mount

Amottica

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?

Yea for some reason we get de-horsed going through some city gates now.

Its not you, its some glitch or something. Never used to happen.
I agree its annoying

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.

Pretty high up on the "annoying" list ...

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.

It's been happening for a couple of months now and it is indeed annoying. More of an inconvenience really, but yah an annoying one.

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.

Programmer: Hey boss do i need to fix the dismount bug everyone is annoyed about?
Boss: Nah just throw it in the 'Fix it later pile'
Programmer: but it will only take a se....
Boss: Ju ju just throw it in the 'Fix it later' pile, we'll fix it later. focus on blackwood.

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.

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.

It's horrible and I hate it.

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.
