I've never had any lag issues on my now 190 hour save file. But I always had problems with the game hard freezing my PS3. Last time I played was about 6 months ago, froze after 10 minutes so I just put it back on the shelf. Before buying this DLC I was reading that the latest patch had solved a lot of issues. Excited to finally get to play the DLC I purchased the content, downloaded it and booted up my save file.
Within 5 minutes the game hard froze. So I force my PS3 off and loaded it up again, after 10 minutes I get to Windhelm and right after being attacked by the cultists It freezes again. So I shut it off and load it up again, this time having saved right before entering Windhelm, go in, get attacked, take the note, save the game, leave Windhelm, 5 feet away from the boat to Solstheim. Freezes yet again. So I load it up again and before I can even get there. Guess what happened? And again, same damn thing, the moment I get a few feet away from the boat the game freezes.
5 Freezes in under 20 minutes!
I had freezing issues before, but nothing like this, it would happen maybe once every hour or two. I don't want to start a new save file just to go through the intro only to find out that it freezes on me when I try to start the DLC, plus I like this current build. This should not be happening, this game has been out for over a year now.
If you had issues with this game before, DO NOT BUY THIS DLC!
I was a fool for giving Bethesda my $10 for their failures knowing damn well that they wouldn't have fixed a thing. They don't deserve your money.
