Skyrim

Improved occasional performance issues resulting from long term play (PlayStation 3)

I have noticed this a thousand times over

I've only noticed improvement since the update, personally. The ESC thing is awesome, and I haven't yet noticed any of the UI bugs I had before, or encountered any new ones.

The PS3 savebug has been an issue since the start. Any save files over 5mb cause lag in the world. I haven't had any problems on PC though.

The 5MB thing is a myth. It just depends on how long you leave it on.

Well, if it fixes the infuriating button mapping issues, then I'll get the update.

Seriously, you can't play as a mage on PC because it becomes impossible to correctly map a spell to the hand you want to map it too. Sometimes it's left hand only, no matter what key you press. Sometimes it's the right hand only. Awful. I hope they fixed that, and also the complete LACK of being able to view and rotate items in the inventory. I have to squint my eyes to see the symbols on the dragon claws because I can't zoom in or move it around in the menu.

Installed the update on my PC.

Broke my install.

Can't play anymore.

On another note, they're releasing that Steam Workshop thing for Skyrim!

About an hour ago, my PS3 froze while playing Skyrim. I had to unplug the thing to turn it off, and then it gave me a "the HD may be corrupted" message.

Thankfully, it wasn't, but oh my god, I was prepared to seriously freak out if it did. Not cool at all.


I'm pretty much okay with losing my PC save, though. I was done with all the sneaky character relevant quest lines anyway. My character is no mage, and wouldn't do well in the Companions, anyway. Well, it's not "lost," so to speak, but I probably won't bother trying to get my PC install fixed since I still have the PS3 version that I actually bought.

I'm glad your PS3 (and Skyrim) are safe! You must have been distraught! Seriously... I can't tell you how many times my game system has broken and had to have been repaired. I was unhappy. But my problem ended up being a corrupted hard drive.

I haven't actually got to play Skyrim yet. Oh, but I will. Skyrim looks legendary.

I take it back. The rivers are screwing up a tiny bit.

Modding tools are coming out in January, yay

I reinstalled, and got the update working. It fixes awful PC bugs like not being able to equip spells in specific hands properly, and not being able to examine/rotate items in the inventory menu.

BUT it adds new bugs, like not being able to cancel the lockpicking minigame, and certain popup dialogs, like the "are you sure you want to be this character" one at the beginning of the game won't let you choose "yes" OR "no," regardless of what key you press, or where you click with the mouse. I only managed to get through by loading a new game and switching to my XBox controller.


Jesus fucking Christ, Bethesda, get your shit together.

Also, if you read a book, be prepared to take it. It won't let you NOT take it in 1.2.


I'll keep playing with 1.2, though, because that spell equip bug was absolutely awful, and at least they managed to fix that.

HOLY FUCK THE 1.2 UPDATE BREAKS FAST TRAVEL ON THE PC

So I stumbled upon a solution.

Download this mod: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=310#content

All it really does it add a text file deep in to the Skyrim/Data directory folder. It's meant to enable the 1-8 numbered hotkeys on the xbox controller, by adding a text file that remaps some controls and whatnot. BUT, if you leave the xbox controller disabled in the game's settings, it seems to unintentionally fix all the weird "tab doesn't exit alchemy/lockpicking" and "left click on map closes map instead of fast travel" problems. I guess it's because the game looks to this text file for overriding key assignments, and it fixes whatever those idiots at Bethesda fucked up when they made the 1.2 patch.

Hope this helps.

No issues here in Mexbox land. also malson, that's not a 1.2 thing.

seriously that's an issue here, people are running into bugs they hadn't yet and being all "OH MAN MUST BE 1.2"

I never said it had anything to do with 1.2, but I suppose I can see how you interpreted it that way. Like I said, I haven't noticed anything debilitating, and the minor bugs are no big deal. It's a Bethesda game, I knew what I was getting into. And was looking forward to it, for that matter.

no, you didn't. I'm just saying, every bug players encounter after the patch is being called a 1.2 bug

I'm pretty sure if a bug wasn't present in 1.0 or 1.1, but appeared in 1.2, it can be called a 1.2 bug.

"If I haven't seen it, it's new to me"

I'm not sure if you're even referring to some of the bugs I pointed out. I don't think you are, because you're too smart too just be plain wrong like that.

I'm not saying your bugs aren't 1.2, I'm just saying people are attributing some known bugs to 1.2 because they never saw them before hand.

Good to see Bethesda's games are still buggy as hell.
