Yeah, I've found separate threads for both SD and SKSE, there are still problems with both so I'm hanging back and watching what happenes. I have 9 SD plugins running so I really don't want to 'lose' them.

With you on the Steam/Patch thing - I've kept Steam in offline mode since 1.3.10 and I back up my entire game folder every 3 or 4 days.

this happened with me, kinda, i uninstalled all my mods, updated a few/reinstalled (via NMM) then everything was back to nice and buttery smooth.

Can someone tell me the file size of the patch? I'm not sure whether i'm downloading the new one or the beta.

LOL BECAUSE THEY MADE YOUR GAME RUN SMOOTHER

Or because an update was pushed without knowing...

I looked on the option menu in game and it says 1.4.21.0.4

Is that the most recent patch?

yea and water makes you wet , any other breaking news?

The problem is that some folk are setting steam to not automatically update and steam is automatically updating (skyrim) regardless that the user has set the game to not automatically update. Steam good? Steam bad? Both and niether apply in some peoples opinions. Opinion is opinion though and fact is fact - steam does not do exactly what you allow it to - or more correctly - steam does what you tell it not to do regardless of what you want and it is causing major headaches for some users.


Case in point!


Good point. The fact still remains that steam updates skyrim (for some users) even whe the user specifically sets steam not to update skyrim and this is causing problems for some users.


This is the issue here. We are forced to use steam for Skyrim but we are given two relevant options to counter possible problems. First we can run Skyrim with steam in offline mode - this works a treat. Second we can set steam to not auto update skyrim - this, evidently, does not work for some (or many) users as steam goes ahead with the update.


Just one - sarcasm is the lowest form of wit! (Often credited to - incorrectly - Oscar Wilde.) No malice intended - just that it is better to be constructive in your answer than to belittle what is, for some, a real problem.

In case people forgot, Steam forced you to install an update that makes dragons fly backwards. Automatic is not always good.

Enough of the steam this or steam that! This thread is about the new patch.

I have had little time to play since patching. That said, everything seems fine so far (sans any mods).

Of course, multi monitor support is still missing and as such I will need to wait for a modder to fix this! (Come on Bethesda - do the right thing for your multi monitor users.)

At this point, isn't that relativley unimportant? That, and the fact that it's only your opinion that they need fixed?

Hello LionOfNarnia, you dont have to reinstall or start over. I just do that to make sure am getting all the good stuff from the patch. In other words me just being paranoid. The patch installed itself over my old game and i noticed the difference right away with even smoother framerates and better visuals. When i noticed this i checked to see if the patch had come out and sure enough it had so eventhough i didnt have to reinstall i did.

Another thing that told me the new patch had been installed was when the pop up boxes with the first time tips were popping up again. Also my shadows were now set to high with no loss of framerates which is great and really makes a difference adding that extra depth to the world.

I wonder if anyone can answer me. I am currently unable to be Thane of Riften because I visited my house first and all that so will that be fixed in my current save?

How do you see which version you have? Where will you look to see if the C.K. is available to download?

Can you tell me to which mods you are referring at when speaking of skyrim, if there is no creation kit still available?

Lame, i see nothing there about fixing the glitch where you cant cure yourself after completing the companion quests.

On my mage it seems that with Ebony Armor up (and all the perks) and only 100hp I seem to be able to survive hits a bit better. I was still seeing, though, that a draugur death lord was still able to consistently one shot me with an ebony bow and arrows. Maybe the ebony armor spell is a little bit more effective?

I'm now getting worse performance, but it seems to be worse in interiors which is stranger.

They've still not sorted out the odd shadows either.

Can someone test followers? See if they level with you now? It's not in the changelog but as the last couple patches indicated, they do more than just what they put in the changelog and it seems like it would be a simple fix.

Where is my mounted torch fix?

So I just want to apologize for possibly jumping the gun on the patch. Apparently, it was a beta version of SKSE for 1. that was causing the CTD issues, at least for me, and they have already released an update.

The sound issues seem to have magically gone away by themselves, though I am playing a different character now. So, possibly the sound glitch is related to a corrupt save and not the patch?

Also, If I uninstall RCRN post-process injector by aLaaa (version 1.6) the major stutter issue seems to go away also. While this wasn’t an issue before 1.4, and this seems to fix it now, I would rather deal with it than revert to vanilla colors! =P

So, overall only minor issues, and the performance does seem better for the most part.

someone check to see if they fixed the texture issue with nightngale gloves not displaying the proper skin tone on the fingers

It basically means it has better performance when you play for a certain amount of time. Some people couldn't play for more than 3 hours before hitting alot of lag or frame drops making it unplayable. This is saying they addressed those issues where you can play longer, and I suppose it will also address the file size performance too but not 100% on the latter.

So when is this bad boy dropping?

So you're complaining because your game is running smoother?
It's amazing the things people will moan about on this forum.
