Papyrus logs

I noticed while using the trace logging facility to diagnose some CTD issues in the Soul Cairn that my Papyrus logs were full of these messages:

From what I can tell, the game is attempting to process the idle actor events (play one of two songs) for this NPC a couple times per second on average...but there isn't an AI thread associated with him, so it generates these log errors.

I have 100k lines in my last log file, and 99.9% were repetitions of this. I have already completed the Dark Brotherhood questline, and at no point during my gameplay for this log was I in Solitude. I started in the Soul Cairn and was proceeding along the Dawnguard questline as a vampire.

What's also interesting is that I had used the console to kill, disable, and mark this NPC for deletion in a previous savegame. Upon loading the game and resuming play, there was a period of just over 3 minutes during which these messages did not appear. I presume that I crossed a cell boundary and triggered some script that began looking for this clown, and afterward these log entries started popping up about twice per second on average. --Rolandito (talk) 08:51, 12 February 2013 (GMT)
