Unofficial List of Bugs introduced by Patch 1.2

Post » Thu May 24, 2012 7:11 pm

I thought it would be a good idea to have one easily searchable thread instead of having 100 threads made by people reporting the same bugs, especially for the UNconfirmed bugs that I'm seeing, so more people can keep a look out for them. I understand there's one-super-mega Patch 1.2 thread, but there's no bug list in that thread -- it's all scattered across the relatively huge thread that's a pain to search through. People need to know this information to judge whether or not they should update, and unofficial fixes if they've already updated.

Note: For all bugs, even confirmed and "not a bug", it can be beneficial to the developers to post your experiences in either this thread or the Unofficial Patch 1.2 Thread (found here: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1300359-unofficial-patch-12-thread-6/). Just don't make a new thread unless it's a totally new bug.

Confirmed -- Either through extensive testing or from independent confirmation from a bunch of sources.

Unconfirmed -- Conflicting reports, etc.

Not A Bug -- Not really the fault of the 1.2 Patch.

Confirmed
  • Elemental and Magical Resistances no longer work. The SKSE plugin has an unofficial, unsupported fix for this. You can find SKSE here: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1302434-wipz-skyrim-script-extender-skse/ , and a method of testing here: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1299511-testing-dragons-and-elemental-resistances-for-pc-users-on-patch-12-need-unpatched-people/

  • Bookcases can forever eat books, especially ones in your home. (Not yet confirmed if this only happens with existing bookcases.)

  • Dragons can start flying backwards and generally be unkillable in this state. It seems to occur only with dragons that are scripted to spawn (quest dragons), as self-spawned dragons don't do this.

  • Treasure Chests (from Treasure Maps) are no longer spawning in existing games, and/or have vanished. Note that some chests don't spawn until you get the associated treasure map!

  • Multiple problems with controllers and keymaps. There's an unofficial, unsupported quickfix by replacing controlmap.txt here: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1298537-having-trouble-with-your-360-gamepadfix/page__st__20__p__19561742#entry19561742

Unconfirmed
  • Reports of textures being a lower resolution than in 1.1 on the same settings.

Not A Bug
  • Disappearing main menu is almost always caused by third-party mods incompatible with Patch 1.2. Vals Smithing / Fletching Mod infamously causes this in Patch 1.2. It's a good idea to always disable all mods if you have trouble with a new patch, just so you can see if that causes it. There's an updated version of Vals Smithing / Fletching Mod on Skyrim Nexus that may have a fix. Remember, we don't have the CK yet, so some of mod-making has to be guesswork.
