Latest News for Patch *FIXING* and more...

Post » Sat May 19, 2012 5:53 am

Why post this here? It's for PC users only. PS3 users can't download it so it's a mute point.
Haha, you have no idea what an enterprising individual can do with the PS3, I mean, wow, no idea.

People will bomb twitter because they seem to get faster responses. We are still waiting an official post here regarding a lot of bugs, not only framerate issues.

OKAY NOW SOMETHING FOR FUN OR MORE......??????

sixy 'nvde Females' Skyrim Patch is Exactly What You Think It Is
(http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/225024/sixy-nvde-females-skyrim-patch-is-exactly-what-you-think-it-is/)

Slaying dragons and fighting giants only stays entertaining for so long, but this patch will add a sixy new feature to Bethesda's awesome RPG.

Somewhere, there's an unwritten rule on the Internet that every major PC title must have a nvde patch -- and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is clearly no exception.
If you're of the appropriate age, you can download the wonderfully descriptive "nvde Females" Skyrim patch over at Curse.com, where it's currently the most popular mod in the Skyrim category.
Also, you've got to appreciate the attention to detail. It's not just the human females that get to shed their restrictive clothing, but also the Argonian and Khajiit races. Because just doing the patch for the non-furries would be racist.

For the curious, here's some notes on the newest versions:

This mod removes the underwear from female characters, and adds what should be under the underwear. Just extract into the Data folder of the Skyrim installation.

NEW IN VERSION 1.2 (14/11/11):

- All textures are now high-res and seamless - Dirty and Clean version of the textures, with pubic hair and hairless versions of both - Argonian textures - Khajiit textures: Default version (two nipbles) and Alternate Cat version (8 nipbles)

NEW IN VERSION 1.3 (15/11/11):

- New default Argonian texture without nipbles (nipbled version is optional) - Corrected belly button placement - Corrected nipble placement in .msn files - Removed some blockyness from .msn files - Corrected stomach colour


OKAY GIVE MY A BREAK....LOL..... :facepalm:

The first game I seen with this sort of patch was Wolfenstein.

If the patch doesn't work, could players be entitled to a refund as the game is not fit for purpose?

Quest: "Waking Nightmare" - entered the temple at the same time as Erandur and now he jumped further in the temple without making the wall disappear so I cannot follow him and cannot complete the quest. (Xbox 360)



Happened to me on the PS3 as well. All I can see on the local map is a mission marker well outside the boundary of the room.

I did this very thing, and got nothing more than a canned email response offering a possible solution that didn;t amount to crap.

here's the response I got back:

Hi Joe,

Thanks for contacting us. We recommend clearing your game cache prior to your play session as the game relies heavily on your system's memory.
a. In the XMB home menu, go to (Game) > [Game Data Utility].
Important: Make sure you select [Game Data Utility]. Do NOT select [Saved Data Utility], as this will delete all of your saved games files.
b. Highlight the game data utility file (i.e., name of a particular game you have been playing) you wish to delete.
c. Press the button and select [Delete].
d. Highlight "Yes" and press the button to confirm the deletion.
e. A message indicating the file is being deleted will appear.
f. A "Delete completed." message will appear once the file has been successfully deleted.

Also the game may lag for a few moments upon entering a new larger zoneas it will need to cache.

Please let us know if you require further assistance.

Best regards,

Chris Z.


--- My email to them
Just so you have an accurate count I too among many others are having the issue of significant lag and slowdown once my save file was over 6 MB Any by significant I mean practicaly unplayable

Just wanted to report, that so far, fingers crossed, this has been working for me.

I know you're trying to be helpful, but you should really read things a bit closer before copy/pasting a wall of text.

In the article you linked to ( well you linked to the front page of the website, but in the article itself ) they say "It’s not yet known what bugs this will fix". That list of bugs you copy/pasted is just a list of bugs that people have found in Skyrim that are being collected on a Wiki. There's no indication anywhere that that's a list of things the patch will address.
Troll.Please continue, my good sir. and let him post us news.GTFO

No Skyrim, That’s a Bad Skyrim!
Published on November 24, 2011 (http://www.it-networks.org/2011/11/24/no-skyrim-thats-a-bad-skyrim/)

Even though I’m only a little over 10 hours in to Bethesda’s amazing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, I’m fairly confident that it’s the biggest, most expansive, and most (I hate to use this word) immersive role-playing game I have ever played on a game console. The depth and variety of the things you can do in Skyrim is made more effective by the stunning production values — from the art to the music to the overall design of things — and has left me hopelessly addicted. To the point that my girlfriend may confiscate the PS3 if I don’t start paying less attention to the game and more attention to her.

But a game this big and diverse can’t be without some flaws. And while none of these irritations has got me thinking about rage-quitting, I still find myself occasionally shaking my head (and sometimes my fist) at the little things that are driving me totally nuts:

I can’t use weapons from horseback. – I know this is nothing new to the Elder Scrolls series, but it still drives me nuts. Not even a bow and arrow? The Mongolians took over half the world doing that a couple thousand years ago. Are you telling me these people can’t figure it out for themselves?

Swimming and underwater scenes look awful. – Sure, developers have to make some sacrifices when they’re developing huge open worlds; it can’t all look perfect. But the swimming animations, as well as the view underwater looks like a first pass at the concept. I’m not saying my armor-clad warrior carrying 300 pounds of battleaxes and scrolls and mushrooms should behave exactly correctly (hint: he would sink), but I would like it if the swimming looked a bit better than a cgi animation test from the late ’80s.

When I discover a place, the game doesn’t auto-save. – Yes PC users, I know, save often. But I don’t exactly have an F5 key on my DualShock, now do I? It would be nice to have an auto-save when I discover a place, or at least have it unlock permanently so that if I do die out there on the road somewhere, I can at least get close to where I was.
Enough with the [censored] wolves, already.

Swapping weapons and items is tedious. – The “favorites” system for your inventory is less than ideal. The concept of the radial quick menu may seem a bit over-used, but it is for a reason: it works.

My kingdom for a decent horse. – I guess they were this stiff and clunky in Oblivion, but that’s still no excuse. Bethesda should have gone out and hired whoever programmed the horses for Red Dead Redemption, then paid that person a load of money to make these horses move better. I’ve accidentally killed 3 already and as I said, I’m only 10 hours in.

What the hell happened to my follower? – We were in a fight, in a dungeon, which we won. I walked outside, fast traveled somewhere else…where the hell did she go? For the life of me, I can’t find my companion anywhere. I’m wondering if she’s stuck somewhere because I accidentally told her to wait or something, do I need to go back to that dungeon and look for her? Because if I do, I’m breaking up with Lydia on the spot. After I get back all my enchanted weapons she’s muleing around for me.

My companion keeps blocking me. – You know what, I really don’t miss her. Especially considering how much time she spends blocking doorways. I mean, come on Lydia! This relationship clearly isn’t working.

Can I get some better directions? – OK, I know they don’t have GPS in the alternate fantasy reality of The Elder Scrolls. But is my only solution to just follow a marker on the horizon that may signal something that’s miles away? How am I supposed to navigate the pathways to get there? If these people can shoot fire out of their fingertips, they can figure out a way to show me a more detailed path along the ground or something.

Another Bloody Post About Skyrim (But This Metal Reworking Of The Theme Is Awesome)

I’ll be the first to admit that the last thing Kotaku needs is another bloody post about Skyrim, but I honestly couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to post this incredible Metal-style cover of the game’s theme song. Metal as a genre took so much inspiration from fantasy worlds like the one Skyrim is set in, so this just feels oh-so-right.
Also, 331Erock is an amazing guitarist.

Someone has to get to work on a mod that replaces the regular music in Skyrim with all metal all of the time!

BLOODY HELL...THIS SONG IS AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skyrim Secrets: Guide On How To Get The Hevnoraak (Dragon Priest Mask)
(Posted on 24 November 2011)

Skyrim’s world is really a force to be reckoned with. And if you’re like us who’s obsessed on finding all the unique items in the game. You are already familiar with the Dragon Priest Masks. For those who are unaware, all of these masks are unique and they have special attributes (e.g: immunity to certain properties). Likewise, getting it means you should kill their bearer which is a Dragon Priest (independent quest). All in all there are eight DP masks but we’re only covering one for today — that is — the Hevnoraak (one of the most powerful mask in the group) which you will obtain after killing Hevnoraak the Mad.

Check out the video: http://pinoytutorial.com/techtorial/skyrim-secrets-guide-on-how-to-get-the-hevnoraak-dragon-priest-mask/

Skyrim Glitch: Get 100 Speech
(http://www.justpushstart.com/2011/11/23/skyrim-glitch-get-100-speech/)

If you are having troubles in raising the Speech skill in Skyrim, there’s a glitch that you can do to make it level up to 100.


Note: Doing this glitch might ruin the fun for you.

- Now, to level up that Speech skill, you must head to Riften.
- Go to Black Briar Meadery
- Talk to ‘Ungrient’
- Choose “Tell me About Mavan Black-Briar”
- Choose “Come on, get the truth off your chest” (Persuade)” (Keep on doing this until you get 100 on Speech)

As of this writing, the glitch hasn’t been patched yet. This will only work on consoles.

Unequip any armor, cloths and weapon, then go to sleep in your bed for 24h. If the arrow is still there, rest in your bed for another 2h. This helped me getting rid of the ice spike that stuck on my character.

Well my save file if i remember right looked to be between 8-9 MB and I aint having the unplayable framerate yet, dont get my wrong i am have framerate issues but it isnt unplayable when I start the game. Game works fine when starting it up but the longer I play and the hotter my ps3 gets the more the framerate issue becomes a problem. Since the patch is coming Monday from what I seen in this thread, should I just put the game to rest for now so I can continue to use my awesome Mage character? I got Assassin Creed Revelation to play still but with Skyrim being so awesome I keep neglecting the game. I only ask because I just got my character to be able to use destruction spells for free and this can only get better as I get expert and master destruction spells, I already plan for my next char to be alot more Warrior like than mage and if this char goes to hell because of this glitch I am just going to move on to my Warrior focused character. Only Questline I completed is College of Winterhold, which was my main goal for my mage character, so the only lost I would really have is not completing the Main Quest with my first character.


Also towards the people earlier in this thread mentioning the dead PS3 and lost saves on it, the Harddrive is removable. PS3 harddrives are the same ones used in labtops.

Well I got 2 of my skills maxed to 100, enchanting and smithing. So I am using dragonscale armor with enchantments that allow me to cast destruction magic for free. Last i saw it was in the 8MBs with very little problems, just framerate issues really when I play for extended periods of time. Character runs smoothly when first getting on, so if I just wait for the next patch my character should than be fine since its running mostly smoothly when first getting back on Skyrim everytime?

Like I said I dont wannna get to the point where the character is unplayable even with the patch, so since the character is still working great I should wait until Monday before I get to the point of no return where the character is screwed even with patch right?

Only benefit I have to having to start over with a new char is to keep myself from taking the wrong perks/ random ones because I was figuring out what was good lol. But I grind Smithy and Enchanting to 100 and I would prefer not to have to grind them again so soon after doing it the first time lol.

Oh and sorry for cluttering this awesome News Thread with questions, Thanks for getting the info that you got for us so far.
