Well,
The patch has given us mixed feelings, but there are some things I will say that apply to the majority of players.
Firstly, the patch really did IMPROVE the frame rate drops on the PS3, so kudos for that Bethesda.
HOWEVER, the PROBLEM is STILL HERE (game still STUTTERS), along with some new ones, even some they claimed were fixed!
For instance, dragons still FAIL TO GIVE SOULS sometimes! Magic and Disease Resistances DONOT WORK ANYMORE.
Textures still have ISSUES WHEN RENDERING!!! Quests are still BROKEN, etc, etc...
So, we must recognize that the patch is good on some points, and made the game more enjoyable...
BUT LET'S NOT STOP FIGHTING FOR WHAT'S STILL WRONG!
We want the best experience possible with Skyrim!

Let's be constructive and discuss our problems, making it easier for Bethesda to fix them.

P.S.: I know that some people still have bad frame rate issues, lag, etc. and what I've said does not apply to everyone.
That said, let's do our best at making it easier for them to do new patches. It's what we all want.

Indeed.

The lag improvement only lasts a while. It soon resorts back to lag after a couple of hours

I'm waiting for my first paycheck to come, Bethesda clearly never tested the PS3 version, and "hired" us all to test the game for them. So where's my paycheck?

Among with other issues! We need to keep working until our version is at its best.


Sometimes I feel this way too...

Caps lock is a valuable rhetoric strategy, as evidenced by the first post.

Yeah i know this isnt the proper place for this but i dont feel like starting a topic on it though i do feel like an elaborate explanation. anywho theres a bug with onmund the nord follower from the mages guild at a certain point he decides he doesnt like to fight and becomes an avid pacifist yea its a glitch check it out if your inclined and if you've experienced this problem give a proper tag i just feel obligated to say somthing you guys seem to have everytihing handled

Punctuation ftw. Also you would have been better off starting a fresh topic about it. With punctuation.

All redeeming features of this patch have turned to zero. Nada. Zilch.

Bethesda wasted EVERYONE'S time. No credit should be given to them for ANYTHING. The biggest favor they can do right now is recall every single PS3 game sold because they are so incompetent.

im lazy get over it

I think the best course of action for Bethesda to take at this point is to recall the PS3 version of the game and rewrite the coding or hire a seasoned PS3 coding company to help. Patching a broken game of this magnitude is like putting band-aids on a gash in your arm, it will slow the bleeding the more you put on, but at the end of the day you still have a gash in your arm.

Getting bored of Skyrim

Wow never seen this before... I'm actually doing the quest to retrieve a staff for Enthir that envolves Odmund right now...

I agree with everyone else. Recall the game, give me a refund, not a copy of the 360 or PC version. Outsource the project to people who know PS3 architecture, and in a couple years, a less buggy PS3 version can be released with all of the DLC the 360 version had for $19.99 in the greatest hits section.

lemme know if you get the same glitch i started a tag for it "Onmund the pacifist" so hopefully they fix it

Ok I'll get back to you.

I mean a game this size its expected...but here is the real truth about the patch...The reason why it takes longer for the lag to finally set it is because they lowered all the textures turned off AA blooming ect...basically the things that made the game beautiful are turned off..So there answer was here is the crapper version and guess what PS3 users we don't care were not going to actually properly code it for ur system and have some of the delegated process go to the cell chip to ease the GPU nope were just gonna turn all this stuff off...

There u go guys its fixed ur happy shut it up...thats how they feel and how much they care....if you think am wrong go play fallout new vegas after the last and final DLC back to regular game unplayable froze every 5 mins 0 FPS and that was me just turning the game on...I can be understanding on something large scale is bound to have issues..but when its a almost 4 maybe 5 year issue and its the same issue in all the previous games which means there aware of the problem THEY JUST DON"T CARE...They just go hey thanks Microsoft give us ur money for delayed DLC yes we will develop it for your system and port it over because if we don't ur evil and won't let the game come out on ur system....

FYI Microsoft is evil and ruins the gaming world and thats why ps3 users always get the shaft except for certain cases I.E. exclusives...Microsoft basically told developers if a game comes out on ps3 first or we get DLC first they pull the content and game from being put out...oh well all they care about is they got our money and they did

Well if that's the truth they're covering it up because Gstaff said there were no graphical changes.

It's not the last patch so chill...

The game is more entertaining than any other I've ever played...
Then the lag hits and I restart.

My frame rate improved after the patch, but now the drops seem to be getting worse...

Gah! This is such crap. I'm frustrated with this game. Now, whenever I play I am so anxious that I am going to freeze when I:

Open my inventory

Open the map

Go to save the game

Enter a new area

See a bunch of stuff going on at once, e.g. two giants and mammoths like near Whiterun.


F. F. F. F. F. Ffffffffffffuuuuuuu

Basically not going to play the game anymore until it is patched again. So many quest bugs and environment glitches it's unbelievable and makes the game unplayable.

Exactly so if you can't wait till the next patch comes just wait for the GOTY edition.

[I'm about +70hrs in and my save files are at 12MB.]

The one main reasons I was excited for the release of Skyrim was that I figured after 5 years and 3 other huge RPG games (Oblivion, Fallout 3 & Fallout NV) they would finally work out the stuttering, frame rate and freezing issues.
SKYRIM is proving to be the WORST ONE OF ALL! I have put more hours than most into this game. (Lost my job recently) So I can say with confidence that the new 1.2 patch has made my gaming experience worse. Much more "stuttering" and the system freezing has become more of an issue. Also the issues with magic enchantments no longer applying when fighting strong opponents (or all). What's the deal with that?!! How did that get through QA? Are the guys writing the software testing it?
Their games are massive, creative and well thought out. However, instead of making a game a user can put 300hrs in, why not make it half that and produce a game that runs smoothly. Bethesda is coming across very unprofessional.

Oh I'm really annoyed about this situation...
