Bugs

•  PC   360   PS3  When equipping a mask and the Archmage's Robes together; both the mask and your entire head may disappear, showing only an empty hood.
  • A short term fix is to drop the Archmage's Robes then pick them up again.
  • Another fix is to store the mask in a container and then equip it directly from the container.
  •  PC   This can be temporarily fixed on the PC by pressing F5, quicksave, and then F9, quick load.
  •  360   Clearing the Xbox 360 cache will also correct this issue.
  •  PS3   PS3 users can also temporarily fix this by saving and loading.
•  PC   360   PS3  It is possible to equip this item while wearing a Falmer Helmet, Ancient Shrouded Cowl, The Jagged Crown and circlets.
  
•  PC   360   PS3  If any mask is given to any follower, over time it may disappear from their inventory.
  •  PC   To resolve this matter for PC, use the console command player.additem <itemID> 1, and it will add the mask to the inventory again.
