A friend and I were comparing our copies of Skyrim side-by-side today. He opted out of the install, as he has the 360 version, and I (owner of the PS3 version, obviously) was forced to install. Unsure if that is the reason behind this or not... but I want Bethesda to be aware that it seems the texture streaming issue isn't exclusive to the 360. Often I've noticed that textures, especially on terrain and armor, are incredibly low-resolution (we're talking 64-era quality).

Anybody else have these issues?

I thought the textures on certain parts of armor (mostly hand gear) and on my iron shield seem out-of-place in how poor they look, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not.

yes i do too, when i load an armor its high res but then suddendly downscales to a really muddy low-res. ill see if i can upload some pics to show everyone.

It definitely isn't normal. Not only was I comparing the same equipment and locales to his 360 copy (his was noticeably sharper) but later that same set of armor would appear quite sharper.

uploaded two pictures to show

i will upload more later . The hair of the player also seems to downscale sometimes when you equip and un-equip a helmet

It appears you're having the same issue. I have a pretty full schedule this weekend and won't get around to playing Skyrim, but if you can, try and post an image of the terrain. That seems to be where it hits hardest. I've noticed it especially on rocks around the snowier regions.

trees also have this problem i think. but yeah the rocks also downscale. ill post in a couple of minutes

this downscale seems to happen during loading screens also.

here are some ground pictures

LOL

Pity it's true at times, as is a blizzard coming right through the walls of a structure, kills the immersion a little.

Suddenly, perspective. I had no idea Morrowind looked so much better.

Hmm no wonder why some things looked really ugly.

i don't know people but a have a different point of view here...my textures are sharp and the colors are vibrant....i am very happy with the PS3 version of the game....

i played 9 hours so far, i am level 4 and i must say walking on mountains and terrains are a blast...the night is a little to dark but a had no other problems with the game so far....

no stuttering so far or frame issues....(it seems indeed some places are above 30fps and some others a little under 30 fps but no real problem so far...)

i have all the automatic saves disabled and the display settings are on full RGB... (you can't imagine how deep and colorful the graphics with these settings are)
