PS3 frozen when trying to escape after killing mercer

Post » Thu Aug 23, 2012 5:12 am

Hey guys, I'm new here so yeah, hey all! :)
I was wondering if you guys can help me with a problem I have.
I love playing Skyrim, but I'm at a bit in the game where you are getting the skeleton key and where you have to kill Mercer, every time I kill him and the water floods the room, I can't touch the water or else my game will freeze, is there any solution as to how I could fix this? I'm playing on a PS3 too, and I know Skyrim on a PS3 isn't the best but meh, I love playing Skyrim but I can't anymore because I can't seem to get out of the room without touching the water :/
Any help will be awesome!
Thanks, Shaun :)

Welcome to the forum :smile:

What you are experiencing is the water freeze bug, you need to uninstall the game data and patch data, (NOT your save game data) reinstall and download the patch again then it should all be ok, full instructions here :-

If you aren't in the USA your patch version is probably v1.05 which introduced this bug, the next patch v1.07 is supposed to fix it but seems not to so people may still need to delete and repatch.

Welcome to the forums. Follow the above, you should be set. At least for that bug.
