SKYRIM!!! Patch may cause problems...

Not sure how it will work out on the 360 but as the man said in the article, if you are happy with how things are running right now you may want to avoid the patch for now. It is currently only out on the PS3 but an Xbox version is scheduled in the next few days.

It does however fix the HDD install texture problem*

I like that he's demonstrating the dragon issue while he's blasting it with arrows.

I played for about an hour last night, but didn't accept the patch as I haven't read what issues it causes yet. I want to get it installed to the HD to cut those load times. I hate when I step out of a door to realize I need to run back in for a second- LOL.

Well, I went ahead and upgraded to the new patch last night. Mostly because I didn't want to play offline and therefor was required to update. I played all last night and never noticed anything wrong at all. Of course I have never really had a problem before. A few glitches here and there but I have never had a game crashing bug. Last night was no different.

To be honest, I never even read the link to see what the real problems are. And besided the textures issue when I had the game installed to the HD, I haven't had any problems either.

I downloaded the patch today and no issues with it. I played for about 2hrs and didn't notice any glitches or anything. I didn't try and fight any dragons so I didn't get to check for backwards flying dragon but all in all I didn't notice any problems.

Zal said he fought a Dragon last night and everything worked just fine. It engaged him and flew forward and everything.

Patch notes from Bethesda:

Improved occasional performance issues resulting from long term play (PlayStation 3)
Fixed issue where textures would not properly upgrade when installed to drive (Xbox 360)
Fixed crash on startup when audio is set to sample rate other than 44100Hz (PC)
Fixed issue where projectiles did not properly fade away
Fixed occasional issue where a guest would arrive to the player?s wedding dead
Dragon corpses now clean up properly
Fixed rare issue where dragons would not attack
Fixed rare NPC sleeping animation bug
Fixed rare issue with dead corpses being cleared up prematurely
Skeleton Key will now work properly if player has no lockpicks in their inventory
Fixed rare issue with renaming enchanted weapons and armor
Fixed rare issue with dragons not properly giving souls after death
ESC button can now be used to exit menus (PC)
Fixed occasional mouse sensitivity issues (PC)
General functionality fixes related to remapping buttons and controls (PC)

Sounds like a good patch. I have had some issues where my conjured arrows were still in caves months later, dragon corpses go crazy when I reenter an area, and had one piece of jewelry I enchanted and renamed disappear forever. This patch should fix those for me.

Can they "unfix" this cuz that's just f*cking hilarious. I'd love all my wedding guests to show up dead. No need for food or drink at the reception!

Looks like the major problems with 1.2 should be fixed next week and that more patches are to follow:

I rolled the new patch last night and didn't have any issues. i complete the Thieves guild questline, which was really cool. I think I'm level 33, and just started the smithing/enchanting so i should be ranking up quicker now.
