Report: Skyrim PS3 patch out in Europe [update: patch notes released]

@NPTran23
Well they never played daggerfall at least. Otherwise they wouldn't be crying out for VENGEANCE.

So far 1 broken quest out of like a hundred. Not bad.

@NPTran23,

you cant allow a video game company to hype the sh*t out of a game for 2 years, then release it...in this state of condition.

They should have pushed the release date down a few months ahead of November, and just have everyone in the company play on the actual full-version of the game, and test it for a few months before release.

Testing insues = bugs found.
Patches insue = no bugs.

Gaming Community IMPRESSED.

Bethesda is relieved of stress.

Learn from this, Bethesda!

@NPTran23

Fixed occasional issue where a guest would arrive to the player's wedding dead


lolwut?

@EechuTah
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I agree wholeheartedly. I don't think any company should get a free pass just because of the perceived quality of their games.

Maybe it's a PC gamer mentality, but before developers could patch their games for consoles if it shipped broken, it never got fixed. That was what made for a bad game.

I've been playing Skyrim for three weeks and I love it, but at the same time I hate that it has so many stupid bugs and glitches. Trying to experience a game and a story like this certainly is hard when it freezes or stutters or horses collapse through the world.

@HellFlyer
Yeah, that sounded like a great glitch when I read it.

@HellFlyer
They should add a hilarity toggle that unfixes this "issue." It sounds absolutely hysterical to me.

@darkinchworm Same here, I'm bummed it didn't happen at my character's impromptu wedding.

@EechuTah

I've put about 50 hours into the PC version and have had only one glitch, and maybe 8-10 random crashes.

I'm not sure what "state of condition" your product came in, but the "state of condition" of mine is just dandy and I'm loving it.

@jchan You call 8 to 10 random crashes "just dandy"!?

I've played gazillions of games for dozens of hours without them EVER crashing. That should really be the standard, don't you think?

@EechuTah
But then it wouldn't be a Bethesda game. :p

@Deadstarone,

I'm not sure why we are getting downgraded either.

Plus there are those stupid people who, even during a time then the other person/company (in this case Bethesda) is WRONG and GUILTY of something THEY DID (or LET HAPPEN), they come to it's/their defense like it's a member of their own family...even when it affects them.


I see this bugs/glitches issue with Bethesda like...

...a woman(Bethesda) who is pregnant(making Skyrim), who constantly smokes, drinks, does drugs, etc, and everyone is telling her "don't do that! it'll hurt the baby!".

Well...once the baby (we'll call him Skyrim) is born, it's sadly got some problems that it'll have for the rest of it's life (glitches, bugs, crashes, etc) and all the people in the room are angry at the woman for not BEING SAFE AND CAUTIOUS BEFORE HAVING SKYRIM, but, stupidly, they defend the woman (Bethesda) and say "well....she's a teenager! you can't expect a teenager to not smoke drink do drugs etc when it's pregnant!".

Bethesda did a bunch of stuff while making Skyrim. Now that it's been released there are tons of bugs, glitches, crashes etc, not only for Xbox 360 and PC, but also for the pathetic embarassing 2-day process of porting it to the Playstation 3.

Because of the mother's irresponsibility and laziness, while making a beautiful baby Skyrim, it was born and now it's got issues that's gonna need medication (Patches).

Maybe she'll have another baby down the line WITHOUT all these problems, issues, etc (SKYRIM GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION).


Thats *IF Skyrim get's GOTY.

@Trogdorwhore Yes you really really should, its great. I highly recommend it.

@Trogdorwhore

Bro PLEASE HURRY and buy this game....you will NOT regret it....I played until 5 in the am last night....and I had work in a couple of hours....Its gonna be that way for a VERY long time....I just cant get enough of this game.

@Trogdorwhore
If you dont mind having dreams about running though a snowy forest, then yes, you should.

@Trogdorwhore

I was frustrated and bored by both Oblivion and Fallout 3, so I never expected to even give this one a shot. I am so glad I did. I would recommend it to nearly everyone who plays video games.

@Klearwater Killer
It's already started happening to me.

@Zertoss

Do you have frame rate issues in the "Thieves Guild Base"?

It can't be my computer (580 with 8GB RAM, and Intel i7 2600k), and it only happens there.The frame rate probably drops by a little more than half, I'd say it drops to 25fps. It isn't that big of a deal, I watched my friend play it on 360 last night and it runs around 30fps for a majority of the game but I was just wondering if I was the only one that had this issue.

Other than that, I've had no issues other than 3 crashes.

Also, quicksave is the best thing ever. Oh and mods. That night sky one is amazing.

*First gaming PC, and first AAA game release*

@D3m0sthenes

My framerate drops to single digits the instant I load my game, no matter the location. The workaround I posted gets it back up to >30 fps every time and is the only thing that does.

I don't know if that will help you. The entire Thieves Guild area runs about the same as everywhere else for me.

@Zertoss

The LAA enabler made by someone not working for Bethesda seems to be the only way I can play this game without it crashing every hour.

Bethesda can rush to introduce a DRM patch that causes problems but they still can't get a patch out that stops the crashes it causes? Yet somebody not working for them can do it a day or two?

@Zertoss

I'll have to give that a shot, I honestly never see it drop below 60fps unless it's a load screen (30 always) or the Guild (25).

I will count myself lucky.

@LoneWolf18
Writing TES V instead of "Skyrim".... I see what you did there

@LoneWolf18
It's called "Skyrim"
Get with the programme.

@Undulation

It's called "program," get with the Skyrim.

Wait, what?

@LoneWolf18

Makes me wish I had a DS or SNES version of Skyrim to play. Complete with walking-in-place NPCs.

@Undulation

Ok, I aggressively use British English to assert myself as a not-American on the internet. I can respect that. But you're wrong in this case.

You use programme most of the time (i.e. "I picked up a concert programme" or "That's not scheduled on the programme"), BUT if you're specifically referring to computer software you drop the -me ending no matter where you're from.

So tone down the douchey Europeon superiority.

@LoneWolf18
The low-res logo reminds me of my Skyrim experience on my old CRT :(

@ArtofWar
You got lucky. Don't know if it's your model PS3, your save file is miniscule, or you haven't played it enough.

All it took for me was a save file over 6~7 megabytes and 45min to an hour of playtime before I had to restart the game.

It wasn't some "lol my framerate dropped for a few seconds" problem either, it was sustained choppiness that made the game hard to play. The only way to get it to stop was restarting the game.

@McPo Absolutely! Us peasants have to get this on console but if I had the rig It's the game to get. Especially when you realize how big the mod community is when it comes to Elder Scrolls.

@therain83

Flame on!

@therain83 You mean Microsoft platforms… I have a PC and Skyrim wont run on it ;)

@therain83
"The PS3 version came out of pure greed."
...Yeah, how dare a business try to make money!
Why dont you go Occupy™ a park or something.

@Ospov

Yeah, you played longer and there's more save files on yours or you saved more often.

@Ospov

Yeah, I definitely noticed that trend as well. My save files started off in the 3-4 GB range, they're slowly climbing to 5-6.

Sounds like the slowdown is going to be horrendous, I hope Bethesda fixes this soon. Seems like a similar problem with Fallout 3, I can barely even play the first expansion now without my ps3 freezing up or just having massive slowdown.

@Undulation

Really?

Bind the tab key to activate and see if you can pick up a book.

@weektor

So, to summarize, "No issues at all! Well except for that one time..."
