Patch 1.2 Initial Impressions (PC)

Post » Sun May 27, 2012 6:03 pm

I was wary of trying the freshly patched game, as I'm sure many of you are/were as well. Here is a brief overview of what I found.

"Fixed crash on startup when audio is set to sample rate other than 44100Hz (PC)"
Verified. Tested the game with default sound format set to 24-bit 192kHz, no problems or audio anomalies. (the sound equalization overall is still the same old wackiness)

"Fixed issue where projectiles did not properly fade away"
Verified. My last save had a giant ice spike sticking through my torso, and has miraculously vanished.

"Fixed occasional issue where a guest would arrive to the player’s wedding dead"
Unknown, I have not had the opportunity to test this.

"Dragon corpses now clean up properly"
Unknown.

"Fixed rare issue where dragons would not attack"
Unknown, I haven't ever experienced a dragon stuck in reverse, and the two I've fought since the patch have both come right at me. (They still may fight other NPCs/creatures nearby)

"Fixed rare NPC sleeping animation bug"
Unknown, I have not seen this in the past and have not had the opportunity to observe enough NPCs falling asleep to comment.

"Fixed rare issue with dead corpses being cleared up prematurely"
Unknown, too early to tell I think. Although so far nothing seems to be vanishing.

"Skeleton Key will now work properly if player has no lockpicks in their inventory"
Verified.

"Fixed rare issue with renaming enchanted weapons and armor"
Unknown, I have heard of this bug but have been unable to replicate it (I've done a significant amount of enchanting)

"Fixed rare issue with dragons not properly giving souls after death"
STILL BUGGED, this may have something to do with encountering respawned dragons at word walls previously visited, and other factors.

"ESC button can now be used to exit menus (PC)"
Verified.

"Fixed occasional mouse sensitivity issues (PC)"
Verified. Even with Vsync disabled, mouse axis sensitivity is no longer effected by extremely high framerate (I'm assuming it works as well with low fps, but I cant reproduce 10fps)

"General functionality fixes related to remapping buttons and controls (PC)"
STILL BUGGED, changing hotkeys for favorites etc still do not properly update on the UI while browsing items and magic. I'm not sure what else this could mean, but the UI tooltips DO NOT update.

Thats all the patch notes affecting the PC release in 1.2
Feel free to update if you experience something different

Here are my basic hardware specs just in case:
Phenom II x4 @ 3.6
8GB G.Skill DDR3-1600
2GB EVGA GTX 560 Ti
Nvidia driver: 285.62

Sorry, but could a moderator please move this to the PC support section? I forgot I was in general discussion. :sadvaultboy:
