Arniel's Endeavor is still broken. I am still trying to find the "final" converter. I had doubled casted the flaming spell and going back to a prior save is not an option. Any hints? If I went through all of my saved characters I would likely find more glitched quests such as The Forsworn Conspiracy where I went straight to Nepo and now Eltrys is dead and nothing happened. I think the patches so far were focused on code glitches with some quest glitches thrown in. So now it is time to fix quests. And then there is DLC to expand the game.

I've abandoned the PS3 version. I had spent 120 hours on getting a really good character, probably at least 5 hours of that on loading screens lol, and then came 1.4. It fixed the lag, but my game was randomly crashing every few hours. I'd had enough. I went and bought the PC version today and OMG, 2 second loading times and no annoying glitches so far. Unfortunately I gotta start from scratch though

I expect I'm not the only person to have done this.

If you haven't replaced the HDD then it's not a PS3, its a TARDIS

Making your horse rear up while being attacked by a wolf makes both you and the horse shoot backwards. Just had it happen and was able to repeat it twice.

You don't fall off the horse. it just sort of slides across the ground.

right sorry about dissapearing had a long weekend with my partner also both my macs are in the shop so having to use my partners laptop,
but yea so far with 1.4:

well im not having many problems its going well put in so far another 14 hours and i havent had one crash, or any major bad framerate issues, i still get the odd stutter say when attacking 4 or 5 enemies or when walking around in riften i get some choppyness near the shrine out side the secret entrance to the thieves guild, there appeares to be a glitched torch bug by that shrine for me, and as a bit of a test i was at winterhold and this dragon wouldnt land so i did call dragon and then after i could i did storm call so i had a storm going and two dragons fighting each other right near the college and it ran very smoothly so framerate wise its going well.
crashes not had one yet and i even turned my auto saves back on after a while to see how they went, but iv still to test the auto saves fully as i havent loaded one up yet, and yesterday i found a scripted auto save from sovrangard (i think time stamp and level seem right for it to be that) thats picture was only white and tried to load it to see exactly what it was and it hung on the load screen so gonna see if the auto saves work fully.
i still get dragons that are aggroed dunno about lag dureing dragons as im able to kill em with about 5 hits of my sword and i still absorb souls, on the note of killing dragons with my sword, quite dissapointed as alduin took two minutes to kill both times i had to fight him all i did was dragonrend hit him a few times with my sword, and boom no more health i was hopeing for him to be a challenge....
my house now works fully appart from the dagger racks in the master bedroom of hijerim but they havent worked since day one they just eat daggers and dont give them back, but the book shelves the weapon racks the mannequins all work for me quite happy about that really just annoyed one of my mannequins is duplicateing a item (it did this befor patch).
A bit of an odd thing about my bookshelves and i think it was because mine were bugged quite badly you see when i found out they were bugged i reloaded a save and emptied them all so i didnt loose any books, and it caused them to bug so that they were empty but the books still showed on the shelves and still had interaction options with the books, not that the interaction options worked mind, well when i started my save on 1.4 instantly a book shelf option opened i quit, clicked on all my shelves to see if they worked and to help it purge the bug as i found i had to go into the shelf to get it to get rid of the bugged in book images and now my shelves hold verry odd numbers of books most of them hold 22 but iv got some that hold the original 11 and some that hold 18 and one that holds 12 when they all used to be 11 book book shelves, when i fill them aswell only 11 books show on the shelves as an image so to read the other 11 i have to go into the book shelf nothing massive but i found it to be rather odd behaviour.
iv had no quest bugs at all since the patch iv compleated:
the bards college: panteas flute remains in my inventory however i had handed that in before the patch so i knew that wouldnt get fixed
but the drum and lute which i have had for ages and before getting the quests too removed with no problem when handing them in and i got my prize
the thieves guild: i am now the master with the master armour no glitches met (mind my stats log says i have done -1 quests for the quest line)
the mages college
the companions: purposely went out to get a normal ebony sword to batter vilkas with so didnt end up with any glitches or problems at all with this quest line not cured my self of wearwolfism yet dont see a point the not getting diseases is quite handy (again i noticed in stats log it says days as a wearwolf is 48 but iv only transformed twice so i want to know is that days with the affliction rather then the amount of days youve been in the transformed state?)
the dragon priest masks
the bugs in a jar
retearning to your roots
oh and that trasmuteing the mundane
im 3 trophys away from plat
followers appear to be improved it could just be mjoll though but iv noticed she doesnt run into me and push me about which always happened with my followers in the past she doesnt detect me when in sneak again this was an issue with followers in the past for me too, also iv found if she traps me in somewhere and i walk into her then back away a bit shell step backwards letting me out my followers never did this i used to have to try jump over them or something
now then for the bad
my first initial load screen when i load up a save is very long and i mean very long sometimes takes 5 mins
my other load screens are also noticably longer not as long as the first one but still too long one of them timed in at 3 mins
when i go to manually save and press X on save i have a period of time where the game is almost like frozen doesnt let me do anything or move up and down the options but remains on the start menu and takes 2-3 minutes before bringing up my save menu this is much much longer then before and is sometimes worrying as it sometimes takes longer then others and appears like a crash for a little while
game appears to access the HDD a lot more then it used to my HDD light always flashes or is solid on when on loading screens and when i click on save in my game menu and dureing gameplay when outside from time to time, even when i dont have auto save on, now not sure this is bad or good to be fair however it brings a little concern for me, due to the amount the game has crashed for me in the past i see it this way, the more its accessing the HDD the more likely that if it crashes the crash will result in a corruption message, casue those corruption messages only show if you turned the PS3 off while the HDD was being accessed and the PS3 has warned since it came out on all games that use auto save functiones that turning the PS3 off while its acessing the HDD can lead to corruption.
texture rendering i know its not a massive issue but its bloody horrid enchanting table tops are blue more often then they are normal and its not set ones either as the one at home changes each load screen between blue and normal, blackreach is just appauling those glowy mushrooms switch themselves off if i get to near to them which appears to be within 50ft and i mean turn them selves off theyll be all nice and glowy and look pretty like on xbox then ill get within 50 ft bam mushrooms go dark with a glowy like outline like the lightbulb died or something, shadows look like pixels, certain areas i can turn the under glow of snow on and off rangeing from wow thats bright to dull no glow just by moving back and forth just the other day while fighting a spiggon my image decided to do some spazzy flikering thing where the screen flickered between bright green and my game screen really fast (glad im not epileptic)
um this one has been happening since before the patch but its got worse everytime i quick travel what ever is in my left hand gets unequiped now usually thats a spell, but its quite bad when you dont notice its done it and you get into a fight and really need that spell in the past it has been the difference between winning or getting killed now not so much but its still annoying
inputs still drop out quite a bit especially when talking to people still having to press x 2-3 times some times to get it to read and its not my controller as it works on everything else just fine
thalmor embassy is still not accessible wheres the key?
and really i think thats it you know other then the odd gripe about the game like why can i only get 2000 septims for the elder scroll? i mean wtf? i have deadric armour that brings in more septims then that? also i want the abillity to remove quest items too as some of them the quests are done and would quite like them fro display like habs remains, and the placeing objects in your house and them getting trown about i want that fixed too now seeing as i have a lot of special one off items.....

I also had that problem....i simply saved the game to a new save slot.....then switched the game off, deleated all my old saves the reloaded....it now works perfectly fine.

How can you do this when the screen is locked on that menu? I am literal stuck on that screen, I can't exit or push start. I can only push the pshome button to quit Skyrim altogether.

All of my gear stored in chests at Breezehome has disappeared since 1.4 Not sure if my wife Ysolda has stolen it all or if it's a 1.4 bug.

My experience so far:

• My save file is 2MB down for 2hours now its up 1mb.
  
• The items from the bards quests (Pantea’s Flute, Finn’s Lute & Rjorn’s Drum) are still in my inventory and marks as quest items but the quest is long done.
  
• Killing the leader in Uttering Hills Camp is still not possible (there is a marker but nobody there)
  
• Still didn’t get Blood on the Ice (I walked away from hold to hold and back) Fast traveling to the farm outside the down) Still nothing.
  
• 
  I retrieved the Dwemer Puzzle Cube but I can’t give it to Delvin.

And only 1 freeze game after a 8h play trough there was some lag.

But I finally have my platinum trophy.
So maybe I will start all over again next weekend and see what happens.

So looks good this update xD

Hm, looks like your game crashed. I had the same message (I was somewhere in a cave at the time), I just pressed circle or x and the screen went away.

Hmm, this sounds promising. I loaded my 12 MB savefile, which had a level 46 character, almost done with the main quest line. I was in the College of Winterhold. I went out into the open, just outside of the college at the bridge where it connects to the town and saved. Lo and behold, 10mb. Wow.

Checked all the stuff at my houses, nothing missing. The manequins finally show the armor yay! I haven't been able to play a lot since the update so it's too early for me to give judgement but I like what I'm seeing so far.

Do not expect every bug to be fixed. Even some serious bugs. Bethesda has a horrible history with the ps3.


Look at the first line of this article and remember this bug was not fixed with the recent 5th anniversary edition of oblivion:

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Vampire_Cure#PS3_GotY_Vampirism_Cure_Notes

This is only a ps3 problem of course.


So if you become a vampire you can't cure yourself. You'll be stuck as a vampire the rest of the game unless you do a work around which involves switching a goty disc with a regular disc then re-inserting the goty disc. This bug has been

around since the goty release.


btw, the site the link will carry you to is a fantastic resource for all things elder scrolls.

Glad for you that that's working out. It's a shame they got your money TWICE, though.

Haha true. I don't mind so much paying another $45 for the PC version. I just wish they hadn't screwed us PS3 players over so much. It was particularly disheartening when I'd put so much time and effort into the PS3 version.

It still playes like fast slideshow (like a strobe). It is much better than before 1.04 but it is still very tyring to my eyes. inside caves and houses it fine but outside is still irritating after a while. My save went down fron 11 MB to 9,5 MB but has grown again in the last 3 days with worry's me. It is now up to 10 MB and will grow larger over time i suppose.

that is what I'm afraid is going to happen anyway. I've had minor lag and frame rate problems no matter where i go(new character). i wish they would just say to send in the game so they can give us a fixed and complete game, i have never thought a game company can make a game on a system without finding a way to make it work. thanks bethesda for working hard and making a good game but i feel i have less trust in you.

I mean it's a really good game, it's just to hard to let go of it. thats what makes it so awfull. I've played trough hours of lag before putting it aside. It's very frustrating knowing that i can't start over because i'm to far in. After 150 hours in and woking a 5 days a week job there is no way i'm playing it again. I dont even play 8 hour games twice. So why start a new Skyrim caracter without knowing for sure i don't run in to the same problems again. The lag had ruined a lot of the experiance so far. I also can't stop wonder if i hadn't played till my save file was 11 MB i would have less FRPS drops now. Mayby my save would have shrunk to only 3 MB if it got pached at 6 MB. I will never know for sure......

Very intersesting that you also have that strobe effect, are you talking about your TV actually flashing, or just severe lag. I'd love to know why my new TV is flashing from this game and my old TV didn't.

very funny, and yes i've replaced the drive with a 500gb

if they can fix the random crash this game would be so much better

I've had only a few problems like some items look all black, Like I can't see the detail in the item. For example the ebony blade is so black you can't see the insignia, also the iron shield looks dark.
The other problem I noticed is I can't see my Gold inthe inventory not that its a big deal but Just putting it out there. Last thing is A Ancient Dragon came after me he looked like a ghosty figure. Thats about the only problems I've noticed.

The framerate issues are still very much present beyond the sub-set of normal issues.

the patch was working fine with my old (broken) 300 hour game. but now ive started a new one to play a mage and its locking up at least once an hour (three times during the helgen attack alone).

its alot more prone to lock up after or near the end of a long battle.

npc's are also teleporting all the time. popping up out of nowhere or disappearing and reappearing five feet away.

the graphics are also alot more swimmy now. by this i mean like on the pc if u set your video card to predraw too many frames its slower when turning...like third person in oblivion.

...fog and lighting effects (npc torches) also slow it down alot.

1.4 has been a nightmare. Before 1.4 my game barely ever froze, and the frame rate was fairly consistant. After 1.4 the frame rate would randomly drop to near zero, the game started freezing with increasing frequencey, and now wether it is related or not I cannot get my PS3 to stay on for more than 10 second even in safe mode!

if you want to clean up the windhelm house you may have to go to the steward in the palace and he charges roughly 500 gold for cleaning up the murderers mess, nice of bethesda to not only [censored] us out of money for a broken game but when they fix it charge us in-game for the cleans ups lol
