Patch 1.5 Dragons screwd up again+other stuff

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:59 pm

Alright everybody,

hope everyones doing well and still enjoying skyrim.Now to the point.After i downloaded patch 1.5 on my xbox i noticed a couple of things/bugs,glitches.

1. Sometimes the dragons would slow down while flying.Their animation would slow down in mid air like they were in slow motion or something.After like 5-10 seconds they would continue to fly at normal speed.This happens with all dragon breeds from time to time....and it wasnt like that pre patch.

2.I noticed the animations of the Dragons are stuttering in short frenquency(only while flying)

3.Dragons are clipping tru mountains and into the ground.It seems like the AI has no idea what to do or where to fly.The dragons clippd tru stuff before the patch 1.5,but it wasnt like this before.

4.The Dragon animations while flying look weird and aweful sometimes...like they rotate around a pole when taking a turn or changing direction in flight.

5. The draw distance of the objects seem alot worse after i downloaded patch 1.5...sometimes objects like bushes or even building parts would pop in almost in front of you.

6. Some spells like ice wall or ice spells in general still freeze the game for half a second or even longer sometimes.Ice form shout especially..this shout freezes the game every time,so i refuse to use it anymore.I get the feeling its gotten even worse with the patch.

Well,with all the patches and updates,a dlc on the horizon...i hope Bethesda reads this and takes care of the damn dragon problems once and for all!
I love the dragons and they look great but the flying animations,clipping and stuff is just aweful.

Has anyone else seen this?

I'm on the PC, and all the dragon flying, etc., seems normal to me.

I don't run any mods/hi rezz packs, etc.

The last dragon I fought only refused to land until it saw a horker. Otherwise I've had no trouble from the 1.5 patch at all.

I have noticed some lag(almost seems like it's gonna freeze but after 5-10 seconds starts working) when I pause the game, I also ran into a dragon with the skin not loaded for the first time(dunno if that has to do with the patch or not).

Edit: also dragons REFUSE to land while your ontop of the mage college, that was the most frustrating half hour I've had in a looong time... and even worse that I had to give up the fight and reload.

That happend to me twice but i encounterd this bug before patch 1.5..but its like i said,they really have to fix the damn dragons once and for all...before releasing any big dlc they should fix bug like this...and more important quest bugs!

I was on the top of a mountin yesterday, one of the ones with a dragon wall. Honestly can't recall which one. The damned dragon flew into the side of the mountian causing a bunch of damage to the ground I was standing on and starting an avalanche. With my character surfing the rubble to his death.

PS3 version.

ps3 version: dragons are the most apathetic i have ever seen. half the time now they never come over to fight. i can chase them all over but they don't engage.


i am now just ignoring them altogether, much like Beth has ignored the myriad of bugs in this game.

Had 1.5 on my PC for weeks. Other than atomic nirnroots, no other issues.

But oh well if they dont release any big,super awesome DLC+ some kind of improved werewolves(werewolf skill tree hopefully) i wont be coming back for skyrim soon...probably switching to Dragon's Dogma for a couple months.

No major Dragon problems for me with 1.5 on any of my characters (major as in going backwards etc). Ive have had some clipping issues with Dragons but normally only when they are at long range as I dont think the terrain is actually loaded at the ranges you can see Dragons from. Ive also had "dive bomber" Dragons, you know the ones that like to do fly by breath attacks but instead of "flying by" they dive straight at the deck, clip the ground a little, then fly vertically.

But other than that they have been as good as gold. Especially as I have Dragonrend and a ubertastic bow to bring them down to earth with.
