XBOX performance drop : V

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:07 am

So i'm at about 80 hours played..love the game.

I'm noticing though it seems like i'm getting a very mild stutter now, it's often enough that it's getting irritating.

Could be it was always there but seems more frequent now, other games seem to do fine. I tried clearing the cache, doesn't seem different.

Anyone else having this problem?

Yes I have seen the same thing, and I'm about 85 hours in... I deleted some of my saves, and it helped mostly, but occasionally, still see framerates dropping in high traffic areas or events

Weird..do you have whatever the latest patch is? I don't have them yet as i'm waiting on a router, wondering if they'll make a difference.

Yes, I have the latest patch, 1.3.

Well that svcks, I guess I can assume this is permanent then heh.

Theyll constantly have updates that improve stability and performance throughout the next several months. Its just a matter of waiting for these updates. It's not breaking my game... Yet.

I'm at 130hrs and I do occasionally get a stuttering lag effect when there are multiple people fighting on screen at the same time. I've also had about 2 game freezes where I've had to reset my xbox. But other than that I've had no quests yet that I can't complete or any other major bugs or glitches that other people claim to have. And all my dragons fly and fight fine since patch 1.3

I've had the bug in riften where you can't get Thane and that's it. Other than that it's been fine, I'm just wondering if this is something with the game itself, my xbox or what..I mean there is a mild stutter even just running around from place to place. It looks about like the videos you see of PS3 problems only much, much less severe.

Same here! But I don't expect an update to fix this. That bug still annoys me to this day.

I had the same problem, deleted all but the last two saves on that character,( I started a new character) I try to keep less that 15 save points. It work's for the most part.

Hmm, I deleted most of my saves, but I know my wife has a ton under he profile, so i'll get her to delete some.

Thanks for the advice.

Sames happened to me. Noticed it after 1.3 was installed.
I'm not sure if there's a relation...

I have the same issues (stuttering, freezing), and this issue didn't started until after I downloaded Patch 1.3.

» Mon Jun 04, 2012 11:40 pm

Well, I have no patches as of yet, so i'm wondering if we are experiencing the same thing or not.

Did you guys install to the HD or no?

I noticed the drop of performance. Don't know if it's patch related. Doesn't seem as bad when the Xbox is fresh as opposed to being run several hours, or with as many saves in the memory.

The game is almost unplayable at the moment for me.. it freezes every time I try to go into the Dark Brotherhood place or the Companion place.. I dont want to pic up the main quest and so I am stuck..

I am having these as well, I am a hundred hours in. I was hoping the 1.3 patch would fix these performance issues.

That svcks, seems like it's gotta be the game right? I popped in Assassin's Creed 2, and Just cause 2, messed around with them both for a while with no decrease in performance whatsoever..i've heard alot of people mention that with the PS3 issues they were related to the save file being above a certain size, wonder if there are similar -though usually less severe- issues with the Xbox.

I had (almost) zero problems until 1.3 patch, now I sometimes get momentary freezes in magic-items-map menus and have had about half dozen times when game completely freezes and I have to reboot Xbox. Also get some stuttering once in a while which seems to go away if I quit game and then re-load. I have deleted all but maybe 5 saves although my daughter has a boatload of saves on her login.

I didn't put in the patch. I get the freezes also, but the x-box did the same thing with RDR and Fable III , if It's been on for more that 4 hrs. I used to listen to music( on the x-box) while doing house chores, had to stop that. I've had movies freeze... played Oblivion for 2 hrs, and then at the end of "return of the King" it froze up the movie.
