So not that skyrim didn't freeze alot in the first place but now that I have the 1.7 patch downloaded it freezes about 3 times as much. I was playing about 20 minutes ago and it froze 3 times within 10 minutes of me playing and restarting the 3rd time the game froze immediately after loading my save. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I had just about 4 freesing times before patch 1.7
Now i have a freeze each 2 days. I play about 4 hours for each day. Yeah, patches are supposed to fix the game not to make it worst, but i guess is too much to expect from a mediocre studio as Bethesda anyway.
