📋 About This Mod
I'm a big fan of the Player Headtracking mod by Maegfaer but had the issues where at some point headtracking would stop working and the character would lock onto something random and continue to try and look at it regardless of how far away. So I decided to dig into the script did a few fixes.
- Added variable check before calling RegisterForSingleUpdate(). This should fix the papyrus log spam and possibly the reason why headtracking would stop working at some point.
- Lowered RegisterForSingleUpdate time from 0. 01 seconds to 0. 1 seconds. 10 times per second seemed to me to be more than enough for update checks without being a performance hit.
- Fixed the "don't track corpses" flag so it works. Code was implemented in the MCM but no where in the actual headtracking script.
Installation might be tricky if your savegame already has the headtracking scripts embedded in it. You may need to uninstall and create a save without the scripts prior to reinstalling and patching to get this to work.
This is a small patch for Player Headtracking that fixes a Papyrus script error causing headtracking to stop working. It has 895 endorsements and 13,093 downloads, last updated in 2015. For players experiencing the RegisterForSingleUpdate() error, this is a targeted fix.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with 895 endorsements and 13k downloads – clearly helps a lot of players.
- Directly addresses a common issue that breaks headtracking, so if you're hitting that error, this is your solution.
- Lightweight patch – just drop it in and go, no complex setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Only fixes that specific script error – if your headtracking breaks for other reasons, this won't help.
- Old mod (last updated in 2015) – might not be compatible with newer game versions or other mods that touch headtracking.
- Requires the original Player Headtracking mod, so it's not a standalone fix.
For Skyrim players who use Player Headtracking and have noticed it randomly stops working due to that Papyrus error. If you're not experiencing that issue, you probably don't need this patch. Skip if you're looking for new features – this is purely a bug fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Player Headtracking mod installed first – this patch only works on top of it.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install – it should overwrite the old script automatically.
- Test headtracking in-game after installing; if it still stops, check your load order to ensure this patch loads after the main mod.
