[Attention] "Bug" list for the PS3

Post » Sun May 20, 2012 3:08 am

I want to start a list of bugs and glitches in the game so hopefully a patch can come out for the PS3. List yours and forward this thread to the staff so they can fix this please. I've heard of a Xbox 360 patch underway already but nothing about a PS3 patch.

- On some SDTV's the game zooms in and cuts off the text and compass
-Random lag moments which pause the game
-A lack of being able to adjust the screen size
-Hard to read text on SDTVs
-I think some of you have been having graphical/audio issues as well as installation issues.

Post what your problems are here, and hopefully this thread will get the attention of the right staff and work will be done.

Perhaps once a certain numbers of "bugs" have been posted I can edit them in this list for ease of reading.

Just to note, I highly recommend that in the display menu, you should be able to move the borders of the screen to fit the TV size.

From the start of Skyrim where the dragon first appears there was Purple Squares surrounding it. Now, everywhere I see purple squares... like when dust would fall from the ceiling in bleak falls temple i would see purple sqares.. also when I use the flame spell and its just in my hand i see the flame but there are orange squares around it.. also when i would attack the skeletons in bleak falls temple i would see purple squares around the slash i did.. BTW this doesn't happen in only Bleak falls Temple I just used it as an example.. Someone, please help! Oh and also, sometimes there is a lag.. like not too often but every 7 or so minutes it will stop for like 5 seconds and then go again perfect. Please help!

Here are some videos

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=3xT8M7V-320 --- you will notice when the flame hits the ground the purple squares that appear... this happens for multiple occasions not only for the magic.

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Npqco_P5LJw --- you will notice here when the flame is in my hand it shows squares around it

PLEASE HELP

Jarl of Whiterun is nowhere to be found in my game, and there are freezing issues in certain areas of the map like west of Whiterun just beyond the stone tower. My game at this point is unplayable main-quest wise

Mine is generally great, and I am more than happy with the textures. It's just started to slightly lag, and am worried this could be another FONV job. Please say it isn't so!

Text in general on SD TV's ranges from hard to read to unreadable.

My follower is stuck behind a locked door that requires a key, but i am fairly certain the key does not exist as it was part of a deadra quest. She is alive, but stuck behind the locked door, and will not follow on fast travel. I would really like companions to follow on fast travel no matter where they are. Or a way to get rid of your follower without talking to them so I can pick up a new one.

animation glitches when equipping weapons in standard stance. see my full post for exact details:

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1264562-animation-glitches-when-changing-and-equipping-weapons-anyone-notice-this/

i have come across some low texture issues occasionally but they dont really bother me that much. the flickering shadows are a little bit more annoying. would be nice if those were fixed.

*SPOILERS*


*SPOILERS WARNING!!*
In the quest "Season Unending" and "Joining the Stormcloaks" when both active I am stuck in a loop. My current objective for "season Unending" is "Talk to Ulfric Stormcloak", but when i did he said "Galmar gave you a job, go do it." It's a prompt to finish ""Joining the Stormcloaks". After I killed the Ice Wraith and returned to Galmar, my objective for "joining the Stormcloaks" became "Return to Galmar", but when i talk to him he says "I don't know how you convinced Ulfric to talk to the Imperials, it's worse than a waste of time if you ask me." then when i talk to Ulfric he says "Speak with Galmar, you'll be going on a little erand with him."

I can't progress in the Main Questline and I can't progress in the Stormcloaks questline. This bug should be addressed immediately.

Okay here is what I have experienced.

- Not absorbing a dragon soul when you killed one. ( Standing in front of it, searching it, taking the bones and gold from it, teabagging it, it wont work. Even loading a new save won't do anything... It is really getting on my nerves this one :( )
- Not show up the sale-menu form a conversation when you want to purchase something from a merchant
- On rare occasions there won't be a arrow/marker on the main objectives on the map (Re-loading save works, but still very annoying)
- Stuck on conversations, will unfreeze itself after about 3 minutes.

This is it, I have experienced more on certain quests, but have been able to figure out how to avoid it. I would post it if i rememberd, but unfortunatly I haven't. Hope they fix the dragon-soul glitch

Last night I spent a perk on Augment Flame 1, in the destruction tree, but it did not increase the damage of my Fire spells at all. I ended up loading the game a few times for various reasons, but they still did comparable damage to my Frost spells.
Today, all of a sudden, Augment Flame HAS applied, but not to everything.

Fireball 50 (up from 40)
Firebolt 31 (up from 25)
Flames 10 (up from 8)
Flame Cloak 8 (No Change)
Fire Rune 50 (No Change)



A discussion of Destruction with a fellow wizard indicates Shock (and presumably frost) have the same experience.

Before I begin, I apologize for my English.

Only three things.

1) When I use the magic, by favorites, and then remit the weapon. The weapon damage is not recognized. To resolve the problem I have to remove and replace the weapon.

2) [Spoiler] I visited the Shrine of Azura and I completed the quest. After I met a pilgrim and after talking with him, I received the quest to visit the Shrine of Azura. Now I can not finish it because I've done before.

3) Is it possible to have an indicator of oxygen, when i am under water?

The same issue as mentioned before, Killing a dragon and not being able to harvest the soul. I moved the dragon into a place that I will always know where it is when this is finally resolved.

Made me chuckle abit lol. But how will you know the body won't dissapear? I got so many things against me on my first playthrough glitch/bug wise i'm just going to do the main quests and when i'm done I will start a new one which I will be playing 100%.. sad really, but I cannot say the game is bad. Huge respect for Bethesda, only hope they will see this and fix it.

EDIT: I'm in Morthal at the moment and the guards constantly keep talking to me, just the normal sentences though, but it puts me in a conversation instead of just talking.
Killing him works.. be prepared for a 1000 bounty. Ooh and don't make the same mistake I did and go to jail with 1 lockpick.. Only got out the cell, could not get my stuff back lol. Reloaded a old save AGAIN.

EDIT #2: Made a new game in the hope I could absorb souls again, this time however I cannot search dead creatures/people

The biggest issue i have had is lag, but i have also had problems reading text in the game, and when i am being chased by enemies they wont go through doors and are reset when i go in the door and back out. There is also the issue of crappy audio, no oxygen bar under water, and not being able to hold things without putting them in my inventory (not a glitch i dont think, but annoying none the less)

Along with the SDTV issues I would add this bug/glitch/complaint

Put a single item into chest = Square
Take ALL items out of a chest = Square
(Whilst sorting my items I end up emptying the chest into my pocket)

Take out 1 Item from chest = X
Drink potion/eat ingredient with chest open = X
(Along with the screen size issue this ends up with me eating (instead of storing) stuff

The flashing blue/pale colored textures on characters/buildings and floors. The low-res smooth snow on steps/rocks and random freezing on loading screens. And no left hand equipping animations (don't know if it's a bug.).

This can be summed up into 4 words

  • Lag
  • Textures
  • Freezing
  • NPC's Disappearing

You're forgetting the screen zoom. I think there should be an option to implement manually changing the screen size.

Just want to add my list.

-In the quest for *spoilers* the thieves guild, where you have to forge the numbers in the record book of huelgens bunks or whatever it called, it won't let me actually activate the book. It just says press X, but nothing happens. I have tried reloading, but it looks like it doesn't work. Will have to try to abandon the quest maybe?

-Can't really tell if it's just cuz it's the console version, but sometimes the terrain looks very low texture and barren. Like there isn't enough foliage around. Idk, like I said, probably just a graphics capability problem.

-The game lags when I run it for a really long time. So far, I've had 2 8+ hour sessions in my 24+ hours of playing, and near the end it lags pretty hard. I could barely walk through riften or whiterun. However, after restarting the ps3, it works. Caching/RAM problem maybe?

-When I kill somebody sitting in a chair, they tend to fall right through he floor.

-When I exit a house, sometimes people just spawn right out of the ground for the first few seconds, almost as if the game was teleporting them into place.

-This really isn't a bug, but it seems like some dragons just lose interest in fighting me. One basically flew over me and just kept flying till it disappeared. Another just stopped attacking me in the middle of combat.

Anyway, those are the only bugs i've encountered. The only serious one is the quest bug, the others I can live with.

-Lag spikes, frame rate drops after around 4 hours of playing
-Sounds made by anyone other than my player sound compressed as hell
-Freezing
-Save size growing (now at 8337kb at 28 hours in)
-Arrows stuck in character

Here's the kicker:
I was doing the first real Storm Cloaks quest where you have to meet with Galmar Stone-Fist/a ton of other Storm Cloaks outside the Imperial fort thing.
Galmar attacked my horse (Shadowmere) and wouldn't stop, so I rode Shadowmere away to the woods about 500 feet away and walked back. Galmar then kept attacking me.
I beat him multiple times but he kept getting up to attack since he's an immortal quest NPC.
So I thought 'eh, will try it later' and quicktraveled away when he was on his knees.
Then literally every single NPC who I had to talk to for a quest began to attack me. This included everyone in the Companions, Dark Brotherhood, Thieve's guild, etc.

I tried to uninstall the local data and repatched it but that didn't work. Tried a new game but that didn't work either, got attacked by the guy's sister in Riverwood.
Formatted my PS3 HDD and then ran it just with Skyrim gamedata + the patch and it worked again.

Now my save crawls at a solid 5FPS and I can't get anything done.

(tl;dr every quest-marked NPC became hostile, had to format PS3 and resintall 2 times to get it to work again, now in my good save the game runs at 5-10FPS)
