Keep in mind that there is a chance this patch was not meant to fix the extreme framedrop problem.
They never really acknowledged it in the first place. Maybe this was something different and they are working on another patch.
However, like Vader would say, I find their lack of communication disturbing!

Well, the good news is that if they make another patch that will actually fix PS3 problems, it will be out next year at the earliest.





Wait...



...that's not good news at all!

Bethesda is one of the only game studios keeping it real.

In PS3 coding and programming? Hell no.

As far as trying to deliver a solid game Yes they are.

Please explain!

At the very least they tried and they did it quickly, so I guess I'll stop joining in the angry idle threats. At least it's now playable, but I think I noticed a change in the graphics too (although it might be because I was looking for one, I can't tell). A lot of games these days are released horribly buggy though, it's not easy to pick up on all of the bugs until you've had a lot of people test it in a lot of different ways, especially in a game this huge.

I wasn't insulting you. I'm merely stating that if what you want is a simple and therefore stable game, then a game of this complexity and scope may not be for you because the larger and more complex the game, the more that problems will persist. If you have no threshold for tolerating an error here or there, then simple is the way to go. These games that don't allow the gamer to leave the beaten path are much simpler.

I also did not tell you what to do. I posed the idea that the games may not be for you. It was a suggestion, not an imposition. Understand? Any rudeness was unintended beyond the desire to be direct. These games are so good, it's actually an honor to be able to play them. That sounds lofty, but I play a lot of games and this is in its own league. An entire world of immersion.


Again, we don't know how dynamic the problem is. Until I see the code, I can't tell you how nasty the problem is and why it keeps resurfacing. Things aren't always a one-to-one ratio of "there's a problem, now it's fixed".

Activision making Call Of Duty every year, EA releasing the same football game, day 1 DLC. All we have is like bethesda, valve, and blizzard holding it down for the hardcoe.

Actually, yes. What I said is 100% true you dolt.

I'd argue that, on any given day, Naughty Dog can code circles around 90% of the gaming industry. Not only can and will they out-code them but they listen to their community and often share their coding prowess with the industry as a whole for free.

I'm not even an Uncharted fan as it's not my style of game but, in the console realm, Naughty Dog is on a higher tier of operation than most everyone else in the industry.

I'm not sure what relevance your saying has to anything. No one's disputing the talent of the game's world designers, artists, and quest-designers. We're criticizing their programmers... in the section where programming is the only relevant issue... in the middle of a technical, programming-failure-related crisis.

From your perspective which is not a fact. Opinion =/= fact, nave a nice day. Oh the lulz.

I have a save which is 14MB and the lag was absolutely unplayable past 40 minutes, I've now been playing for about 1 hour and haven't experienced any of the lag I had done. While there is still some juttering taking place it's not harming my experience like it did before. I am only experiencing this in 2 towns; Riften and Solitude. Whiterun seems to be crystal clear and smooth, and the wilderness runs like a dream.

Hope you guys are happy with the patch like I am!

Hello my sons, today as promised I am here to create my topic.
Dind't I tell all of you that the patch won't fix a [censored] ? han ? Indeed I was right, the PS3 version is as [censored] as ever, maybe worse. Yes because after the new patch the PS3 version looks even worse now, graphics are damn ugly. (PC>Xbox360>Gamecube>Super nintendo> PS3).
Indeed, the score is now 3 for Bethesda (Skyrim, Fallout 3, New Vegas) and 0 for us... Happy ? I told all of you they gave ''Hope'' and look what we have now. We have nothing...

I did learn a lesson today and I think some of you did also. Never buy a Bethesda game again.

Again, try resting for up to one month in-game to allow all the cells to reset and all the unnecessary data to be properly dumped.

Quests may still be broken, but the lag should be gone.

Starting a new game would be the most extreme but probably the best solution.

Did you seriously just come here to gloat and say "I told you so?" oh how mature....

As for the never buy a bethesda game again I had already decided patch fix or no patch fix that I was not going to buy another game by them.

Bilzzard are the absolute masters at dragging a game out long past it's welcome.

First you said it was a week in game now it's a month? Oh and by the way the whole resting for a week thing only made my lag worse...

Lol could someone please place a lawsuit, or something on this company for ripping of millions of ps3 customers for giving us a unstable game... i don't want to return it to only get 1/3 of what i have paid.

As far as performance goes, this game is as solid as a stick of butter.

Don't mean to double post but if someone where to do this, i am sure that there would be thousands of people to support them. Idk how this works, nor do i know anything about law, but i am sure it could probably be done with as many people that are having issues...

Are people with issues starting a new game or not? Maybe you need to start a new game. I know patches are meant to be save game compatible, but sometimes if the issue is already present, you need to start again as its not fixable

At least this will mean i will be asking for a refund, as this proves that the game is defect which should be enough to demand a refund.

Is Oblivion a rail shooter compared to Skyrim? Because the PS3 version of that ran pretty much perfectly. At least as well as (though if i remember correctly actually much better than) the 360 version.
