Looks like 1.5 is out : V - Skyrim

Can you discuss your opinions on the new patch?

Well it broke Skyrim om my PC, now I have to wait for the modders to update and or maybe even remove some mods. So far I am not happy!

The Main Menu isn't showing up here. x_x

It's a DRM method for singleplayer games basically, but for multiplayer games it's really useful. And I can buy games 20% cheaper than in stores in my country even without any special sales. :biggrin:

If you're using SKSE, just launch Steam in offline mode everytime, there's a reason why this was implemented after all.

same reason my credit card really hates steam

anyway the patch seems to work smoothly no issues at all after a few hours of play , but is it my imagination but do the graphics actually look sharper than before

Had to go down a notch in the graphical settings again to run the game properly, my PC can't handle the grass shadow. But hey, it's still working and as long as some of the bugs are fixed, I am kind of happy. Still svcks though since some people can't even get to the menu.

What did we learn? Beth still svcks at patching. ^^

Console user here

Can anyone tell me about the new two-handed sword kill moves?

Haven't tried the new patch yet, but can the grass shadows be disabled?

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 11:53 am

does anybody know when this patch will hit the consoles?.

Not separatly. If your PC is not on the strong side, turn down some graphic options.

Well, I just popped the game open for a quick look around. Good news: nothing exploded. Also, the new improvements to the water visuals http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/504641629020911897/969AB25B76CA6422C3FCC31E6A21E096C9FA4345/

The not so good: there doesn't seem to be a way to disable the new grass shadows in the launcher. I'm hoping there's something in the ini. Also, I swear, every update makes the shadows in my game look progressively worse. :stare:

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/504641629020912986/727F01CED675B5D02E5BDDB6DEC0280ECC6C2016/ on semi-distant shadows. Check out the weird circular bands on the bridge's apex there.

That's with shadows set to Medium, everything else set to Ultra, no ini tweaks whatsoever.

FAQ, these are not working for me? Why? Still the old and i cant see [censored] underwater....noooooooooooo

Really nice, seems like a driver related problem, maybe 1.5 does not work properly with you VGA drivers? I can't imagine any mod would cause this kind of stuff.

Disable AA or roll back to previous driver (12.1) - It's a known issue with catalyst 12.2
More info http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1356797-catalyst-122-avoid/page__p__20456330

Thanks for the response! Rolled back to 12.1 and disabled AA until 12.3 is released. Worked a charm!

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 9:59 pm

^ You only need to disable AA if you use 12.2

12.1 still works.

Someone else with the underwater visuals NOT working properly. I still have a bright view when going underwater, and then I cant see nothing.

Here

But I suppose it might be because I still use the 1.4.27-exe. (I won't switch until all my important mods and Script Dragon have been updated!)

Question are the actual visuals of underwater improved or just when you go up the surface?

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 10:40 pm

Humblest apologies for yet another probably stupid question but:

If you have previously downloaded the beta 1.5 patch do I assume that the actual 1.5 patch doesn't get downloaded? Because it hasn't, is all...

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:30 am

The Main Menu isn't showing up here. x_x

After a quick reinstallation and cache cleaning it seems to be working again.

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:08 am

..Staying offline til they update the CK..

The CK updated at the same time 1.5 updated. Watched it download. Just to let you know.

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 10:59 pm

But what did the CK update do?

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 12:38 pm

couldn't tell you. I just saw it update.

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 4:53 am

Someone should create a video with all the new killcams.

all ok because beta is 100% this patch..... and that is something i don't like.

Deleted Local Content, re-installing it....brandnew bits...today I read an article about someone asking how old the water is...on earth...not skyrim. Silly question somehow.

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 4:46 am

Started up Skyrim to see the changes 1.5 made and I've got this.... http://s1066.photobucket.com/albums/u406/Podunk95/?action=view¤t=ScreenShot79.jpgotice the breakage of screen. The screenshot doesn't do it justice. Running on standard high settings as always with a few mods...never encountered an issue before...
literally just updated through steam now and started Skyrim to find fragmentation on screen. Not on loading screens or the menu though. Any ideas?
I have a theory its mods that arent up to date with the patch?

try this if you have an ATI\AMD gpu: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13071&navtag=file/images.php?id=13071&tab=3

Skyrim is set to not auto update, yet Steam decides to delete my TESV.exe and makes it so I have to download the update anyway, along with the CK.

Not cool.

This same thing happened to me, sooooo sick of Steam forcing me to update one way or the other. Just wanted to play Skyrim unpatched until some things like Widescreen Fixer and SKSE get updated for the patch. Now I get to sit around and wait while not able to play.
