Dont simply ignore this bethesda!! Your game is masterful and has lots of PS3 fans playing it right now, but this issue shouldn't go unnoticed.

We all expect you to release a patch fixing the overall performance of the game... be it on your 2nd patch or your 3rd, but don't just sit around and ignore this problem! You barely spoke about the issues fallout 3 had on the PS3 version.

Speak out people! and let our voices be heard.

If they are making a patch it will take time. It takes about 2 weeks for Sony and Microsoft to approve a patch, which doesn't include the time it takes them to work on the patch and put it together for approval. Unless they already have a patch in the pipes ready for approval by Sony, it could take several weeks before the next patch. I too am hoping for a patch because I have the lag on my 120GB slim with 63 GB of free HDD space.

I agree, I took the game on the 11.11.11 and all I can say is that the game is good BUT IT LAGS OMG. I am very disappointed by the lags...If they don't fix the game...they will lose a lot of people... I hope they will fix the probleme, but if they don't I will see theme as thieves nothing more...

Not to sound negative, but every game running on this engine has had the same lag problem. If they couldn't patch it then, they probably can't patch it now.

Sigh...

so its best to keep our mouths shut about it and let bethesda just dance at how many good reviews their getting? I rather speak up than be laid as a fool without no words.

I think bethesda is already aware of this issue but they should be pressured into knowing how badly it is.

Tluav Boy If what you are saying is true than...Bethesda would once more have stolen a lot of PS3 users...59.99 per PS3 it is a lot...

I just mean that they've never even attempted to fix the lag-save issue before. I doubt that they'll even try now.

They are obligated into providing the best kind of experience to every gamer.. be it 360, PS3 or PC.

Talking like that never got anyone anywhere, so lets just deal with this issue now rather than leaving it alone.

I payed over 150 bucks for this game(collectors edition) some pay more for the standard edition in other countries, why should they be ignored?

I bought the Collector's Edition as well. I'm not saying that they shouldn't, I'm just talking from experience: they probably won't...

Bethesda never patching FO3 was what made me wait on release day to purchase Skyrim. I went to a friend's house and got to play Skyrim for a few hours and right away after stepping out of the starting cave I noticed framerate drops. It was literally BAM! Here's Skyrim! (Oh and it's full of bugs lulz) So I'm glad I waited to buy Skyrim and I won't be buying it until Bethesda fixes their game.

I hope they won't ignore the probleme.

First they have to figure out what's causing the lag. I don't have lag, you guys do, so the answer is going to be a complicated one.

Look at it this way, do a Google search for "Skyrim PS3 Lag issue." And look at all the gaming websites that are all over this issue. If the gaming sites are all over it, then that means Bethesda is under some serious pressure to fix this issue.

Can you guys be more specific on what type of lag you're talking about? People are mentioning low frame rate, but I assumed the OP means something like a delayed response between moving the controller and the game responding. I noticed the delayed response when playing at my friend's house on his big TV, but now that I'm playing at home on my 23" monitor it seems like the lag is much better. I guess it's still there a bit but it's not bothering me.

What size are your latest saved game files?

I just had to quit my game the lag was so bad. I'm also down to only 3 saves now, and it hasn't fixed the problem.

I think by lag most people mean when the game 'Stutters' literally the screen freezes for a few milliseconds, constantly. This seems to get worse for me the longer I have the game running. In the cities the game basically becomes a slideshow after extended play time.

I dont think by lag most people mean framerate, which is also very bad in this game, but I kindof expected that to be honest.

5353 KB. So far I'm 28 hours in at lvl 13. Having no issues apart from the odd fps drop for a few seconds as a city loads. After 1 to 2 seconds I'm free to run/sprint around any city without a prob. I don't know why my copy is so blessed *shrugs*

I have 3 saved game files each at 6,343 KB.

The problems have gotten so bad my game is unplayable.

mine did and iwent back to gamestop because the people there they gave me the one w/o the premium map so i traded in for one with it and it seemed to fix itself for 4 hours and then it froze on me so i curently have it turned off to cool down a little but the people at gamestop say its a problem with the servers this answer seems almost right because i have a freind who doesnt have internet and his works perfectly but i am not sure

If tomorrow they have say nothing about the lag for ps3, I will return my game for a refund.

This is really rather serious... i have yet to see even 1 simple response from them regarding these threads about lag.

i know even one simple we are working on it would keep me optimistic for like 3 weeks

Actually me too, I made sure to purchase this at a place where I can return it for a refund... fool me 3 times

Unless they come up with a way of patching the memory leaks it wont be fixed. Sadly gamebryo is a bad engine, it always has been, especially for anything but c#. The PS3 uses its own variant of C coding, which while works good for the ps3, and is really only there to stop "other people" making games for it, (you have to sign a damn agreement just to be in the same room as a development kit for the thing) it makes cross platforming a nightmare, especially when you work for the Xbox first then port.

Fixing this completely isnt going to happen as its a third party engine, a dated third party engine at that. The company no longer advance gamebryo and are instead working on their next engine. As such beth need to find a way of stopping this caching issue and to clean up as well as they can behind them. This may mean longer loading screens but im fine with that.

However, none of this is easy, or particually quick.
