Here you are Sir

"A new beta update is available for Skyrim now. This beta updates your game to 1.5.26.0.5. (http://skse.silverlock.org/download/skse_1_04_15.7z)


QUOTE
BUG FIXES
Fixed issue with frequency of first person kill cameras
Underwater effects now display properly
Fixed crash when loading certain plugins
Fixed issue where sun would not appear properly after fast travel

Note: As we recently said in the latest Bethesda Podcast, the latest Creation Kit update resolves reported issues with navmeshing. Recently we’ve discovered a change made to 1.5’s executable for support of the navmesh fix caused CTDs for users loading mods. As a result, we’ve removed the executable change in this beta update.

If you’re experiencing CTDs as a result of Tuesday’s 1.5 release, we recommend opting into the 1.5.26 Beta Update. And for the navmesh fix, the team is currently investigating the issue.


How to join the beta
1. Log into Steam
2. Click on Steam in the upper menu
3. Select Settings
4. Under the Account tab, go to the Beta Participation section and select Change.
5. A drop down menu will appear. Select Skyrim Beta.
6. Select OK.
7. Steam will now restart. After Steam restarts, Skyrim will be updated to the Beta version currently available.

If you opt into the Beta, be sure to back up your saved games or simply be careful not to overwrite your existing saves. If you decide to opt out of the beta program, your old saves will still work with the current release of Skyrim on Steam (v 1.5.24).

If you decide you don’t want to run the Beta anymore, redo steps 1 – 4. At the drop down, select NONE – Opt out of all beta programs. Let Steam restart, and Skyrim will automatically update itself back to the latest released version."

Thank you Sir. Seems like they are not even addressing the problems that really need to be fixed atm.

They are addressing the stuff they know how to fix quickly. I'm guessing for some of the other stuff they have no idea what they broke, let alone how to fix it. :-)

They mainly released it to correct something they broke while fixing the Navmesh bug that was causing many systems to CTD when fast traveling and since that was a serious problem that they did not fix during the BETA testing before release they had to scramble to release a fix for it (IIRC it merely removes the Navmesh Fix so that it is back but the systems do not crash -- It was most likely not their plan to release a new BETA right now but they had little choice since they had already rolled out the 1.5 as a final patch and constant CTD's while fast traveling if you have mods installed could not really be ignored and Since STEAM forces everyone to patch the only way they could come up with to circumvent this is by releasing a BETA to allow people effected with the CTDs to rollback was to release it as a new BETA version to avoid Steam reinstalling the 1.5 version after users rolled back to 1.4 to get their game playable !!

How I can return my game to the next to last update. the 1.5 update caused my game this unique problem. description, no matter where my character is, his whole environment is surrounded by these boxes that remove all color. Such as the color of roofs in all cities disappear into sections this happens even with the ground, mountains, even those characters who use magic are affected by this bug or those with more knowledge in this area that I want it called.

In addition to this is my thinking that "steam" rather than force an update which obviously was not fully tested in different systems "PC" should hold, or at least offer the option to do a "roll back" to the previous update.

PS. my game at the time was affected by the new 1.5 update did not have any "MOD".

I will appreciate any kind of aid which help me get my game right as it was before the change.

They nerfed the 1st person kill cams? Damnit!! I was really enjoying them with my archer. I was getting them almost every single time I used the bow; mainly because my bow does some crazy amounts of damage. :( I iz sad nao.
