The bug that is gamebreaking for me is the save data system... say you start off a game and played many hours on it.. then you created another character and it autosaves over your main file. making you lose a save that you've worked so hard for.

I know there is a way around it but it is really inconvenient for everyone who has experienced this

Hello Bethesda,

I have Skyrim on the Playstation 3, I really love the game, but found some issues.. sadly.
Hopefully they can be fixed with a patch ^^?

This are the issues i found in the game.
? Textures load often very bad, blurred low res textures appear in stead of normal high res textures. Where?: Ingame, loadscreens and in the menu inventory. Not only a Xbox 360 issue!
? Lag, al lot of lag. For example: When there are much npc's nearby and environment is complex.
? When playing a mission with a companion, the companion walks very strange, stops a lot while I walk nearby.
? Some water textures are popping while walking in the water, and turing the camera at the same time. In Whiterun, the water gutters turn into black white doing this.
? Dynamic shadows are very blocky. Often it looks extremely bad.
? Some npc's look like they are not functional right. For example: Hod in Riverwood, hes staying 24 hours inside his house. Maybe this is a bug to?

Hopefully these issues could be fixed. Thanx a lot Bethesda.

The main problems ive come across on the PS3 is :

Serious lag in some areas

When trying to look at someones inventory after I've killed them, I start dragging them around

The thieves guild mission, I'm supposed to meet Brinjolf at the ragged flaggon but when I get there hes not there, I got back to the marketplace and it looks like hes doing the distraction again with all the merchants around him, I cant talk to him ask he just says he cant talk here, I've tried doing loads of mission and then going back but nothing has worked, I'm really disappointed as this is one of my favorite factions, does anyone know how to fix this? or will I need to wait for a patch?

For the inventory problem, I believe it's because you're holding down X. At least that's what holding X is meant to do.

Yes, I experienced it aswell... had 26 hours on it, and because I could not absorb dragon souls which is a real gamebreaker for me, I tought I made another character and spend my time there until they patched it. And when I tried to load my old save....it was overwritten and NOT BY ME! And now even my second save is breaking with bugs and glitches :'( I cannot talk to people and they wont talk to me unless I steal something or try to kill them, I cannot search dead bodies from creatures/animals/people. So basiclly the action button won't work on NPC's, I can still open doors and steal stuff. Sigh... have to make a third one now..

Corpses disappearing after being beheaded

- Lag in cities.
- Lag when switching weapons.
- Major lag when traveling with a companion.
- Lag when traveling with a compainion "waiting" for me somewhere.
- Lag when there are multiple enemies or NPC's on the screen.
- Lag when fighting dragons.
- Long loading screens.

I can't get weapon rack or over the door sword display in Whiterun's Breezehome to work. I've never gotten a prompt to activate it or seen the activation prompt (like on the bookcase) even though I have weapon in hand and readied as though I'm going to attack. The weapon displays just don't work for me at all.

I've also fallen through the world once in one of the first dungeons I was in.

Oh and I have a picture that I took of my t.v. screen showing my character holding the piece of metal at the blacksmith forge and the molten end that she is supposed to be hammering and quenching is backwards so that she is hammering and quenching the non-fiery end.

Frame-rate issues frequently in Whiterun... enough to make it a little jittery at times and laggy.

Major lag in Whiterun.

Started a new game and that is just a lag fest too with frame rate drops to top it off. Music jumps in places also.

I really love this game but I can't play it in this current state.

Hey guys, Skyrim was running fine for me last night until all of a sudden i tried to open my magic menu, then the game and my ps3 froze. I've restarted my ps3 many times and each time it still freezes, all of the other menu's work fine (items, skills) I even started a new account to see if the magic part of the menu was just broken but it worked fine on the new account I started.

I tried to load the autosaves but they were also corrupted, I'm not sure what happened, nothing out of the ordinary occurred and Its only for the magic menu on the one account.


Thanks

Fix the dog companions. They always push you around. It's annoying.

I am currently on the quest "The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller" at the point where the three stones are supposed to light up in order to open the 3 gates and retrieve the horn, but the stones do not light up or do anything at all. I have tried every possible course of action aside from starting a new game to get this quest to work but the stones will not react for 3 days now and I cannot finish my game.

There is no in game solution such as me missing a part of the quest or anything like that, the stones simply do not work.

I sometimes notice the water turning purple, mainly in dungeons, unless that's meant to happen.

Also 'Season Unending' and 'Joining the Stormcloaks' quest clash making you unable to continue the story line

I have a few issues:

- The screen seems zoomed in, e.g. it cuts off half the weapon and casting hand. I also feel like I can't really see as much as I'd like too.

(Glitch) :

- Mannequins move around and when equiping them with armour or clothing their bodies disappear.

- Armour and weapon racks seem impossible to use - It's so hard to store weapons, infact, it's an absolute pain storing anything if it's not in a container... nightmare. After Oblivion, I would've thought this would've been made easier. I give credit to the new book shelf system but everything else is so much harder with regards to house decoration.

Lastly,

Is it just me or do you leave no visible tracks when walking through snow? I'm amazed by the graphics but a bit confused as to why nothing leaves tracks in the snow.

I have the same sort of issue as Kitira my D pad is not responsive half the time when I open a menu. If I scroll using the joystick then the dpad starts working. Makes using the menu a bit annoying. Besides that no lag for me. I bought the collectors edition. If that makes any diff.

I'm having exactly the same issue, stated in my above post. It's a right pain

I'd like to point out a couple of major glitches that I found whilst traveling around Skyrim. These bugs were found on the PS3 version.

- First, after purchasing Vlindrel Hall in Markarth and completely furnishing it, I noticed that afterwards I would walk into my house and find all the items and what not that were placed upon the numerous shelves and surfaces within the home were no longer on those surfaces...it almost appears as though someone walked into my home and completely ransacked it. Items all over the floor.

- The mannequins that supposedly hold and display sets of armor within your home dont display them properly. The mannequins literally disappear when they are outfitted, however they are still able to be selected.

- When killing a person that is either sleeping in a bed or sitting in a chair, sometimes they will glitch out of place and be lying under said object (chair, bed).

- Enemies or objects that are found floating in water will appear to have a constant "splashing" effect...almost as if they are being constantly dropped into the water.

- And finally, getting hit really hard by a giant has the potential to send you flying miles above Skyrim.

-The game looks worse than Fallout 3.

I really think some disks are faulty...

My friends save file exceeds 7mb and he has no problems whatsoever.
My save is at 3.5mb and i have no lag... BUT, the left side of the map is broken for me.
I cannot access it in any way.
If i use a carriage from Whiterun to any of the Northwestern Cities i will arrive, but as soon as i start moving the world is gone...
Like really missing, unfinished u know... And if i try to run across the line where there's no world anymore i get a message"U can't go there" and i'm stuck. Have to reset PS at this point.
If i travel on foot from Whiterun going west everything goes fine, until i reach the point of Fort Greymoor, past that point the game starts to stutter like mad, then the world will dissapear and same stuff happens.
Tried completing the Dark Brotherhood questline, everything goes superb, untill i exit the Abandoned Shack, which lies in the western part of the world, gameworld goes missing, game starts stuttering till it hangs and have to reset PS.
Whenever i wanna go to the western parts of the map this happens, game keeps running superb as long as i don't cross the line past Fort Greymoor (vertical line across map from that point).

Tried 3 different times, 3 different new games... same stuff happens all over again past same points...
No matter how far into the game i am, no matter how large my save file is, no matter which level i am...
Nothing matters, just when i go to the western side of the map game crashes...
I even tried at the start of the game, get to Whiterun ASAP, do nothing else, and take a carriage to Soltitude or Morthal or Markarth...
Same stuff...

- On some SDTV's the game zooms in and cuts off the text and compass


It's not just SDTV's - I have an HD ready Samsung and I have this issue - started a thread here

I found a bug earlier tonight. You can equip the Falmer helmet and the Otar helmet at the same time. Not sure if this works for any other helms.

At one point it made the Otar helmet and my head disappear and all that was left was a floating Falmer helmet.

Hey i think i got the same problem, and i might have the solution. It wont make it playable as it should be, but its something. When i couldnt scroll with my d-pad through the menus(weapon, skills, magic etc) i started clicking out of frustration L3 and R3 randomly for a sec or 2 while moving the sticks at the same time. Surprisingly this worked for me. Now on my system, atleast, i figured out that its enough (90% of the time) to just click L3 + R3 simultaniously and then i can scroll to switch weapons etc. Hope it works for you, its still an extra pain in the ass action you must do before you can scroll in menus. But its better than nothing.

I have little to none FPS issues, just only when i use shouts. Its like it has to re-load the graphics etc for it everytime i use it. Other than that i have yet to experience disruptive bugs. I did encounter a invincible troll in a cave yesterday. But when i re-entered the cave, his 'cheating ability' was removed and i banned him.

Playing on a week 1 Fat.

here is what iv come across so far on the UK addition of Skyrim mine was a pre-ordered game
1. the second quest from the mages college ie the Under Saarthal Quest first task there collect the artifacts i go to collect them so i collect the first two rings but cant collect the third ring or the amulet hanging on the wall because the gates are already up... so iv tried to get around by using a telekinesis spell to call amulet over and that wont work either... so i cant do the finish the mage college quest
2. i noticed that when you walk into the dark brotherhood when uv completed the quests Astrid talks to you the you have to talk to her again and tell so you can continue on with the conversations but listen to everything shes said all over again
3. why are the dragons easier to defeat than the mammoths and giants its something that really makes me wonder
edit
4. bunny running under water and not drowning
5. the dragon mammoth- right i saw the shadow of a dragon on the floor looked up and there was a mammoth flying in the sky it land moved like a mammoth cept it breathed blizzard or watever it was and then when id killed it turned back into a dragon skeleton

?
? Freeze ups that are unrecoverable , must eject the DVD reboot PS3 …NOT Good at all this is the ONLY game I have that does this ! (It happens at any time but I think mostly when it tries to auto save)

? NPC’s that join you on quests, they seem to get really confused when they come to a bridge, the try and go around it, even going into the water, then doubling back to the bridge.

? No way to keep track of a NPC that goes with you on a quest, couldn’t some developer have put one of the little quest arrows on the NPC so we could track them?

Just so everyone knows use Save game often! like every few minutes if need be, at least you won't loose as many things and game play time.

Does anyone here have the Collector's Edition and is having problems?
My copy didn't arrive yet and i am already freaking out.

I WANT TO PLAY SKYRIM!!!
