I get killed by Falmers who are magic users. They just cast frost on me and my health goes down dramatically fast. It's ridiculous.

Guess that's why that frost dragons breath was kicking my magic resistance shield wearing ass all over the mountain.

Is this resistance the active effects, or the armor you wear? Because I'm a Khajit and I don't believe he has any magical resistance active effects, only probably armor with resistance enchanted into it. :sadvaultboy:

Bump, there's already a thread for this, "Game no longer recognizes my magic resistance after patch" started earlier. I also emailed Beth support and have yet to receive a response. The bug is confirmed and there is even a youtube video up showing how you can easily destroy your atronachs with their own elemental spell now.

Xtragummy: It is *all* effects. Potions, enchantments, race specific (even Vampire and Werewolf) etc. It extends to NPCs, enemies (you can ice frost trolls now) and conjured atronachs. If you're playing as a mage like I am, the game is sort of unplayable right now. Dragons annihilate me, heck, low level "novice" mages can kill me if there are a couple of them around.

I don't really use magic resist that much, but seriously this problem should be really fixed.

Well the problems are huge for a character like mine (pure mage). One combat tactic I use is to conjure an atronach and then use the corresponding elemental spell to splash damage on multiple targets without hurting her. Now I kill her in two shots. So conjuring is useless. Since I'm almost a pure mage, I have pretty low health and wear robes for the buffs, so I depend on those enchantments and resistances to survive any sort of real fight. Soooo... game currently unplayable for me. Great patch. At least before this I only had to restart every couple of hours. Now I can't play at all. And still no response from Bethesda via either twitter or the support email I sent in.
