My lag/framerate problem seems to have been solved in a rather unorthodox way. My game now freezes every 10 to 15 minutes while loading screens or waiting/resting. This forces me to reboot the system frequently, leaving me no way of telling if it would still run smoothly after 2 or so hours. I would gladly have choppy gameplay back to avoid system lock-ups!

I agree.. I have the same problem. would much rather have the constant lag back than the freezes. I get the freezes. Lag is gone for the most part until I hit a heavy area full of NPCs.

My game just froze in the middle of riverwood. Super lame. This never happened before the patch. So far my observations have been that the patch didn't improve my frame rate and brought me my first freeze.

Is there an easy way to roll back a patch? I can't play the game anymore. The freezing is unavoidable.

Uninstall everything. Re-install.

Does that leave my saved game intact?

My game did that before the patch. Seems to have been repaired. I could be wrong though. I only just got the patch.

This just started happening to us as well. Very frustrating.

I'm selfishly glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Hopefully this will get enough visibility to warrant an emergency fix.

I hope so too. That, and the NPCs deciding I'm not good enough to finish quests with. XD I just want to be the Thane of Riften, damnit.

this is happening to me too, freezing at random frozen 4 times in the last two hours my game never frozen on 1.1
