Because it sure didn't fix my crashing.

The .dll thing worked great for me until the patch came along. Now it is broke again.

Also, I am sure this is steam, but I have played 6 hours total (the amount of time the game stayed running, other than that it crashes all the time) but steam says I have played 19 hours. Why? Because it counts having the launcher open as time played. DUMB.

So if you actually wonder how long you have played, well you will only know if you haven't ever left your launcher open.

But I would much rather have the game actually playable than have steam ount the correct amount of time played.

I'm sure hoping that SOMEDAY they figure out how to make the game playable for those of us that still CTD every time we even try to play.

The smaller, third patch was just to disable cloud saving, I believe.

Off topic: The thought of some online "service" monitoring how often I play a game doesn't settle well. Like it's collecting stats so it can pick which advertisemant to force upon me?

Third patch? I thought that there has only been two, so far.

You're right, 'cause there was one which replaced the ESM, then the smaller one. So the third .exe, 1.1.1.271, I mean.

Thanks. I have been playing in offline mode and thought maybe that I missed one.

Sorry to have gotten your hopes up. I'll bet they have a new patch soon though with a new ESM and .exe, then we get NVSE ^__^
