Unofficial Patch 1.2 Thread #6

Post » Thu May 24, 2012 9:10 pm

I can't use chairs or benches after 1.2. Nothing happens when I try to activate E to sit down.

Dragon bodies are still spawned in Whiterun when you walk in/out of loading zones.

The A button on my 360 gamepad no longer words after the 1.2 patch on PC

It works in game (ie. I use it to jump) but when I go into the menus....nothing. Can click on something to fast travel to, but can't hit A to go there, or cancel; just get stuck on the black box. Can't go to any of the options menus, can't select anything to save or load.

Essentially, with gamepad, the game is entirely broken now for me. I'm not running any mods outside of some texture replacement.

Game seems to be okay with mouse/keyboard, but I don't want to play with M/K......has anyone else seen a fix for this yet? Help?
Yea, this is broken in the 1.2 patch. It would be one thing if the buttons for the "accept" and "cancel" actions just moved around (I still don't like that, but at least you wouldn't get stuck) - but they completely break if you remap them.

There is a separate thread for controller issues, and I posted a tweaked controlmap.txt that restores the controller interface menu mappings back to how they worked in 1.1. You can get it here:

I don't know if this has been posted yet but the treasure chests from the various Treasure Maps are not spawning since patch 1.2.

As soon as I finally balance my y and x axis for the mouse, this patch comes out, autodownloads and screws up game.

I was 50 hours in, now I'm too frustrated to try out the game anymore. Been a HUGE fan since Morrowind, Oblivion's enemy-player-lvl-balence garbage let me down, and now this is too.

Anyway my 2 major issues are

- Mouse Y and X axis are unbalenced, again ( Y is more sensitive for me apposed to way less sensitive before )
- Lag!!!.... Like seriously guys, your 2 gig limit thing might have been good for the LAST GEN of games, but I have a decent rig, I'm running on medium settings and still getting choppy ass gameplay. My comp isn't even running at 50%.

I guess I'll wait for a patch to fix the patch. I toughed it out this far, but I can't handle it anymore.

- Sound bug, there is a constant back noise since the new patch, some sort of annoying low buzing


This, there is a horrible audio tearing in the background that inadvertently came with the audio bit-rate patch.

Just want to add that I'm unable to play the game until this is fixed, it ruins the entire experience.

What pisses me off the most is that the first patch they release forces you to use steam.

So then everyone is forced to update because you have to use steam to play.

and now my game is completely broken.

STEAM and Bethesda svcks. A deadly combo.

In about a half hour of play with the new patch, I've had the the following problems:

-- 3 random CTD
-- 1 CTD when waiting
-- 2 CTD when fast traveling

-- Most importantly, stealth seems to be almost completely broken. I have a character with 100 stealth, multiple stealth enhancing items and Muffle. Prior to the patch, I could walk around largely unnoticed, even in bright sunlight. Now, hiding in the bushes, at night, unmoving, I'm noticed by virtually every passer-by. This renders this character pretty much useless, so I'll be shelving the game in the hopes that the next patch fixes this.

On the bright side, most of my issues with key-bindings were fixed.

As far as hardware...

Steam decided to autopatch me AGAIN after I had set the settings to NEVER AUTOPATCH! (That's twice now since first day install!)

Level 55, playing on Master, getting one breath killed by dragons because elemental resistance doesn't work for me. I drink a 97% potion before drangon engages me, full bar of health gone and I'm dead.

I haven't tried the book shelf yet, that seems to be a popular bug. Haven't seen dragons flying backwards yet... PC is stable, no CTD issues, no key or mouse issues. (Didn't have these problems prior to the forced 1.2 patch)


ugh....

PS, I'm running a clean install, no mods at all...

After the patch I now get wonderful coloring and rendering problems that I didn't have before and it is taking up all of Riften. I get a nice shiny Purple color on walls, items, chests, armor, and NPCs. So fair I have only seen it in Riften, but I don't know were else it will pop up at.

After the patch the first dragon I killed yielded no soul. i haven't tried yet to see if they actually fixed the 44100 Hz bug.

Found a glitch in one miscellaneous quest (the Love book.) Possibly because I interrupted a conversation and tried to pick it up again.

I'm getting the bookshelf issue, but that's about it, as far as the most talked about stuff. Have killed elder dragons and many mages without any trouble, no CTD since 1.2 (so far), no probs with fast travel, no backwards dragons. Archery and sneak both at 100 and work fine. No problems with mouse other than the Y axis is still slower than X, has been since day 1, looking up or down is still a chore. Haven't had any noticeable quest bugs. My game is still clean, no mods.

I'm having issues with followers not updating their level and/or skills. Checked Aela when loading my latest save to play, her sneak was around 40 and marksman was around 60? I used console to disable/enable and checked again, and her skills were improved. Sneak was 80's, marksman was 100. She stayed that way for the remainder of that play session. Also having issues with her inventory getting full of hidden items. Appears to be multiples of her default gear. This happened with Lydia too. Have to take my items from her, then do a removeallitems to clear her inventory. Then she's good to go for a while longer.

Installation of patch 1.2 has broken Markarth Guards (I can no longer speak to any of them. Haven't tested other town guards, though) and caused the dragons to fly backwards and become stuck in the sky, often without playing any flight/flapping animations. Not had any lockpick issues, sound problems, nor CTDs. However, I had better overall performance before Patch 1.2 than I did after.

Is it possible to downgrade patches?

(if you want a summary read the second half) Since day one there has been bugs. some didn't break the game. however also since day one i could only play the game for a hour maybe two if im lucky, Before the game crashes to desktop, with no error messages. Finally i came up with a solution that worked. running the exe without steam. I played for many solid hours without glitches or bugs(didnt see anymore purple trees) save for a few small ones that didnt bother me. then just a few days later, a small patch was released that prevented me from playing without steam. now the same issue i had at day one. that being the crashing to desktop with no errors, still happens and more frequently then before. Now i can get only a few minutes of game play before crash. Then i stopped playing and started again to look for what is going on with this game. I found there was numerous people having the same problem. just about every forum i went to someone had the the same issue. and many more agreeing that they are experiencing the same. so i couldn't play the game as nobody found a solution that works. then i hear of patch 1.2 is coming. i figure this is a major issue it will get fixed then. It comes out i download it and now not only does the same issue still exist the game gets worse. Now we got backwards flying dragons not only that but now they dont engage in combat at all(at least not with me) ? Now im literally fuming at this. i cant play the game at all to where it functions. And i dont see anywhere that the company even is working on this fix. i hear there fixing everything but this. like i said i can go to just about any forum and see this issue. it is very frustrating not to even have the issue acknowledged. And there maybe some post i missed. however youd think something as serious as not being able to play the game would have highest priority. Ive spent more time looking for work around to play the game then i actually have playing the game. And it being almost a month now since release i have to ask where is the fix and support here?

Big issue/summary

Game crashes all the time with no errors.

game is unplayable. Now even worse before all patches.(purple trees came back in 1.2.)

Game frame rate dropped drastically. it feels like im playing with a strobe light at times. actually makes me want to vomit.(yes this is a pc version. And im running the game with nvida gtx 260. so i know my comp can handle this.) never was a problem before patch 1.2.

ive verified all files and reinstalled the game. and all drivers are up to date.

Sometimes it wont even allow me to fast travel it just closes the menu on me when i select a place.

where is the support to fix all of the issue's that are not small like the ones i mention?

Could you include regression instructions at the head of the post?

i.e. what files do we have to back up in order to revert to 1.1 if 1.2 causes too many issues?

The advice on pref/ini files is helpful, but obviously not the same thing.

Also, you might want to qualify the pref/ini information with folder locations - I believe there are some vanilla files which, if deleted, will prevent the game from resetting to default.

Thanks.

The only problems I've seen so far are with my 360 controller:
-The A button no longer works correctly, sometimes it doesn't do anything, and sometimes it behaves as if it was set on turbo.
-Also while moving between the different menus with LT and RT, whenever I get to the quests tab if I press RT button the map opens as if I just pressed X (my controls were set to default).

Other than that, I haven't experienced any crashes or texture problems, though I've yet to encounter any dragon so I can't tell if those are bugged.

Skyrim is now unplayable. I have just come out of Volskygge at the top of the mountain, and the fight with Volsung is a lunatic slow-motion dance, jumping around all over the place. Everything is out of whack, the mouse sensitivity is crazy. Very laggy and uncoordinated.

To get the cursor to point to anything in the menus is extremely tricky.

The arrow keys still don't work. You can't play a game under these conditions, it's a trial. And with something like Skyrim you want to be immersed and not have to think about computer stuff.

This has all happened since the 1.2 patch.

From the beginning, though, right from 11.11.11 all voices have NEVER been in sync with the characters' lip movements.

I once had a dragon half buried in the ground and sill quivering after I had killed it, its ass sticking up in the air.

Also, dead creatures in water keep splashing and kicking.

Often I can see graphic outlines in the ground, I don't know what the technical term for that is.

I was enjoying the game a lot until 1.2, now it's hopeless.

I disagree with most of what you're saying, but I do agree about the mouse sensitivity is acting like crazy now and yes the mouse behavior came with the 1.2 patch. :)

The arrow keys is working in the latest patch and all you need to do here is to reassign your keys in game settings in the game menu (where you save/load your game) in-game.

A creature that are still kicking and splashing in the water was also in the previous patch.

I didn't notice the lip sync with the NPC lips movement. :shrug:

Issues after the patch: (playing without mods)

(all in all the game is completely unplayable)
- can't confirm any ingame dialogs (applying poisons, closing books, improving weapons etc...)
- can't fast travel (left mousclick closes any menu???!)
- quick menu (Q) doesn't respond anymore
- dragons no longer land on the ground to fight me in melee combat...
- Skyrim crashes:
when I change locations using one of the carriages
when I get close to a settlement
out of the blue with no obvious connection to anything
- my character no long levels up; the skills still increase but I get no level-up dialog
(- and probably many more...)
All in all, those damn patches have made the game unplayable, great job Beth!

Have you tried removing the ini and loading it up again? Have you tried to verify the game cache?

I have two games here, and none of them have any of the problems you describe (Except an occasional dragon flying backwards). It pretty much seems like you had some sort of an interface mod that corrupted the game after the patch.

I noticed that potions and magic items that boost the one-handed skill are not improving dagger base damage following the 1.2 patch.

They still result in base damage improvement for swords.

I′ve got the german version of Syrim and since the patch I′ve a problem.
I think, you would call it "fast traveling" -> it doen′t work.
When the window appears, that says "do you want to travel fast to...?" i cannot click "yes" or "no" or anything. Even ESC doesn′t react.
At this point, I just can kill the game with the task manager...
