Not sure if anyone else has been experiencing problems after the latest patch. Beforehand, it ran perfectly, the only problem I had was two crashes to desktop since I bought it in December - pretty stable by my standards.

But after the patch, I've gotten messages that my savegames were corrupted (which then worked when I left the game and re-entered), strange error messages in the game, and objects that I should be able to interact with, I cannot. Also, dragons die without disintegrating and giving up their soul, and word walls are empty.

Has anyone else run into anything like this since the new patch?

It sounds like the savegames may be corrupted as it initially said.....

As annoying as it seems, have you tried starting a new game to see if it still occurs?
Also have you tried the earliest possible saves available for that playthrough? (in hopes that not all saves are duds).
Have you added in any new mods? or are you using mods that may conflict with patch (or that just need to be updated)?

I'm not using any mods and I did load from an earlier save game. As far as starting a new game goes...forget it, I've gotten this far, I'm not going to bother. I don't have enough time on my hands to just start over again. Is there any way to roll back to the previous patch? None of these problems began until after it.

honestly don't know about rolling back, apparently you can run the game with the older .exe but that might not fix the issue. (if you do find out how to rollback totally let me know).

As far as the newgame suggestion goes, what i meant was to see if the issues still occurred or not, in other words start a new game find the nearest/easiest to reach word wall and see if it works. You could try downloading a game save from nexus that is past dragon attack on that tower near whiterun head over to one of the dragon and word wall places and checking that way, probably quicker than using a newgame.
I do understand the dislike of starting again (i am on my third 'playthrough' and have yet to finish due to quests bugging and corrupted saves).

Come to think of it have you used the verify integrity via steam and made sure that the game is up to date, only mention it as the dragon not giving souls was an old issue IIRC.

In any case Good luck.

I'm getting constant CTDs now. D:

After the patch my Breton became stuck in crouch mode- she can't stand up or sneak just crouch, and I can't get the sprint button to work- but that may have been a problem before the patch since I never tried it. I'm a newbie to all this.

Can't absorb dragon souls since 1.4 hit. Throwing it out there.

I am also having trouble with the game since the patch. I killed a Dragon (the one by the wall where you get the second word for the frost shout in the geothermal area of skyrim) and the dragon didn't burn up and give me its soul. It doesn't matter how many times I load the saved game prior to killing the dragon at that location the results are the same. Other issues I have had prior and after the patch are the occassional game freeze, and items disappearing when gathering off bookselfs or tables. I have no mods installed want to get through the game first in its original format.

Yes, that's the biggest problem I am having. Dragon souls not being absorbed, word walls not working, and problems interacting with objects. None of this happened before the last patch for me.

After 1.4 I get crazy lag and quests aren't completing.. I had a couple dragon souls not be absorbed and I keep receiving the "WETrigger myholdfactioncontroller blah blah blah" error... They need a hotfix.

Reverted back to old save.... Works fine now, no error.
