Before I down loaded the new patch, I saved my 86 hrs of play on an SD chip then errased all my saves on the PS3 and then down loaded the 1.2 patch. I then copied my save file back to the PS3, turned all of the auto save files back on, and played until I traveled and hit an auto save. I then errased the down loaded save and started playing the auto save. The game now plays considerably better 85-90 % less lag and the visuals appear to be much crisper, with a little more detail than before. I played 4 hrs non-stop last night with no complaints, or real problems. I now have 90hrs and 11mb saved with the new patch, and so I feel it's time to give the Devil his due. The patch thus far seems to be working fine, and I am playing on a 52" HDTV 1080i if that makes a difference ?? Although the dog was floating around in my house in Witerun last night !!
