@Tu'gan: I think, yes, ok i will let the kiddies to be first, cmon, to daddy.

Yeah don't get me wrong, it's the posts claiming the PC patch is coming out after the console ones I was referring to. I'm of the opinion that if the patch is done it should be released, but I understand that it might annoy the console users if we get it first.

why are you all acting like spoiled little children??
post-release bethesda's behavior has been impeccable.

the only problem here is that they released such an unstable mess in the 1st place. and this is inexcusable. it is also a rising trend these days it would seem.. heroes6 was/is virtually unplayable, sword of the stars 2 fiasco was even worse, rage on PC was horrible. all of these i say from personal experience. only recent game i can think of that felt polished from the get-go was the witcher 2. they even released version 2.0 recently, which made it even better.. actually, i think i'm gonna give skyrim up for now and go check it out

and stop [censored]ing about PS3 and xbox having it all peachy. my friend has the PS3 version and he's worse off than I am. the issues may not be the same but they definitely exist cross-platform.

Obviously you didn't play The Witcher 2 at launch...

How likely is it that they would finish all three patches at exactly the same time? I bet one of two things happened:

1. They delayed development of the PC patch to work on the consoles first.
2. They delayed releasing the PC patch until the console ones get approved.

Thank god Bethesda didn't delay the pc version of this game and released all three platforms together (unlike Batman:AC and AC:R). So, I'm not overly upset they want to release the patch for all platforms at the same time.

I'm personally thankful they are waiting until after the holiday to release it. I can't even imagine the uproar if some sort of game-breaking bug were to make it into the game before Thanksgiving and no one was around to fix it until the following week. You think there are whiny, entitled brats in this thread now? lol

Anyway, their record of post-release support is fantastic so I don't know what all the griping is about. Yes, they are aware a minority of their customers are having problems and they are fixing the game for you as fast as they can.

If The PC Patch is ready they should release it A.S.A.P.

1 Its not the pc users fault that Sony / Microsoft Have to Dubble Check Beths work Think they would of dun this b4 the 11/11/11 lol

2 there are still going to be loads of quest scripting problems that pc users would be able to report & get the next Bug fix going

Oh can you all just shut up?!

Believe it or not, this HAS been a smooth launch, and for being Beth, its a VERY smooth launch. I bet you dont remember Oblivion's launch did you? Or Witcher 2's?

Shut up already, almost no games have a smooth launch nowadays! When you make a game of this magnitude and release a bugfree launch, then go and complain. Sure, Blizz... erm.. I mean Beth, could have done a better job with both PS3 and PC, and I bet they've learned from their misstake for future reference.

Stop being so childish, its like you play in the sandbox and some kid stole your toy ffs.

^It's somebody's time of the month....

Lol at someone telling others to "Just shut up" while simultaneously scolding said others for being childish. Oh, internet you make meh lulz.

Get off my interwebz!

I'm just tired of the constant complaining. Let them do their job, they're only human after all.

Well there goes my entire belief system...

Yup... and I've been through all of those game's releases. Doesn't make it any less svcky though that this is the current state of gaming. I wont pretend to understand how this industry now works, but somewhere a bad president was set that made releasing unfinished games the norm.

Anyway, we all need to relax. As long as we know they're working on it.

I also think the original post is being poorly interpreted. I don't think he meant the PC patch was being delayed... and if it was that could be a good thing. Perhaps if they take their time with patch #2 than we won't be begging for patch #3.

Except The Witcher 2 was developed by CD Projekt RED. Some small random developer whereas Skyrim was developed by Bethesda, a huge developer with a long history of unstable, sloppy releases that everyone will blindly defend.


Like this guy. No matter how broken the game is at launch is for any number of people, it will still be a smooth launch. It doesn't matter if the bug list grows with each Bethesda release. It doesn't matter if some bugs render the game unplayable and has been apparent since previous releases and was foreseen by industry insiders. It's a smooth launch and a perfect release. Continue being fan boys. I like that they censor f an boys.

I would tend to agree with you but when there are major problems within the core game that would be on all three systems, like armor rating not calculating correctly,; that is not specific to different PC builds. that's a problem with the game because they didn't test those things correctly. those are fixes that should have been in the first patch and had better be in the upcoming patch. That's not difficult to correct as it's a problem with the core game calculations.

Now problems with crashes to desktop, graphic glitches and the like are completely hardware dependent. not all the issues and bugs are specific to the hardware. maybe you should read into some of the extensive bug lists people have posted before you tell someone they are wrong.

Uh, no. It's right up there with consoles actually, the latter only get special attention because they pay for it. Simple as.

Someone drank the Kool-Aid

I like to see your source on PC sales.

Consoles are largely standard to each other, one Xbox 360 is pretty much the same as the next, same with PS3, yes some differences in memory or disk size but generally the same. All PC's are totally different with loads of different hardware inside, so yes the PC is harder to patch for

Neil, you have to realize, in regards to some of these people... no matter what you do, sometimes you just can't fix stupid.

I haven't had any issues on my PC, but it's clear some people have had numerous problems. I can see why they are annoyed or very anxious to get the patch or to have the creation kit released. I would be too if my game wasn't fully playable!

People who are so mad at gamesas over this issue are forgetting one important thing: The reason you want to play it so badly is because it's an amazing game. There's just problems here and there that are hindering how amazing it is for you. Then they get on the forums and talk like gamesas is the worst designer on earth and they should be boycotted, etc. Why? "Because I can't play the game I love so much!?"

Getting mad at Beth for the bugs is like getting mad at a beautiful, sixy woman because she had six with you and it wasn't quite up to how amazing you wanted it to be. Yes, it's frustrating, but it's frustrating because you want her so badly.

What? Blasphemy. Up in here with your logic. We know that won't work. Logic is for the sheep. /Sarcasm

Frankly, I'm amazed we're seeing a patch so soon. They released the game to consoles, and prepared and released a patch that went live at launch. It's been 1 week, and they're saying they'll have a patch out in another 2 weeks? What happened to vacation time for the tester and developers after the inevitable launch-time crunch?

As for PC waiting for Console certification... really? We're arguing about that? They could have just said "Patch 1.2 scheduled for Dec 2" and we would have been happy to see them patching so quickly. This perceived slight because they mentioned the certification process is a bit... excessive.

Wow, someone call the CDC, nerdrage is spreading uncontrollably and a quarantine is desperately needed.


A genuine question for those complaining about patch release timing, how many of you have enough programming knowledge to offer a valid argument as to how long it would take for a PC patch to be made/deployed?
