Because it looks that way to me, don't worry about pointing me towards any fixes, I am doing that at the moment.

From other posts it looks that way and I certainly didn't see the amount of problems I have now before, though I

think I have improved it somewhat.

I have stuttering, some lag at times, and definitely a lot of freezes. I rarely had any of that before 1.9.

Less lag but more freezes.

Lag, freezes, glitchyness- you name it, I've experienced it with 1.9. Definitely not one of the better patches.

I think I've solved the freeze problem by clearing cache and it only appears to lag for several seconds at outdoor loading zones which is aggravating but I can live with it. Much better than the freezes. This was on my old character which has gone into semi-retirement. I'm hoping I won't have the same problem on the rogue character I'm thinking about starting. For one thing I've got my DLC's on a stick and don't plan on loading them till I want them. This hopefully will help as well.

What platform are we talking about?

I have 96 active mods and my game is running better than it ever has.

360. My character on PC is running flawlessly. I'm taking a break ATM but running a rogue is tempting me.

Edit: Even though it's a lot like my originl character which gives me pause. If I strictly limit him though it could be fun.

Weren't those already there before this patch?

Yes, but not as often for me.

I am on 360. When 1.9 came around I started a brand new playthrough with a fresh install starting with a new save file #1.

For the first...mabey 60 or so hours of gameplay (up untill say level 35 or so) the game ran smooth as silk, not a single issue. I was truly impressed, and of course, thats when the problems started...sigh.

I kept getting the random wilderness freezes all of a sudden. Luckily though, clearing the game cache cleared this up for me. Except oddly enough, I had a random wilderness freeze 5 mins after starting play again after clearing the cache, which led me to believe that it didn't work. I have not however had a single wilderness freeze since (like 200 gameplay hours later). Knock on Ebony...

The only lag I experience is in Helgen Keep after clearing out that room of Imperial soldiers. Y'know, around the lever? Must just be me

Mine's exactly the same as usual, fortunately.

Definitive yes.

No, I had them on the Xbox 360 long before the 1.9 patch, the Dragonborn DLC was the point at which my game attempted to self destruct. Lag, stuttering, areas not fully loading, endless loading screens and a lot of freezing. It was easy enough to temporarily fix, by clearing the system cache, deleting everything and starting fresh (game, patch and then DLC), but a permanent fix to the problem would be nice.

Only two of my characters had trouble when the Dragonborn DLC was added, my original character (over 1300hrs) with a save file of 19mb and newer but still long played (over 600hrs) character with the extensive journal list of things to do and a 15mb save file when Dragonborn was started. The third character started with the 1.6 patch had no trouble, other than the one he was created with, game ran just fine with him, he was only a lowly character of 65 hours with a measly 7mb save file. The 1.9 patch has actually extended the time it takes now for the game to need a spring clean, that and dropping a journal I got stuck with is the only benefit I have seen to the patch. My second character who never had self spawning dragons now has them all over the place, I preferred not having them. My original character who had only just managed to get rid of all his dragon problems, now has them back again even worse than before, he cannot even visit walled towns now in safety. And a few other things went wrong for my original character.

I have already had to do a spring clean twice since the 1.9 patch.

My PS3 character has had no trouble, with anything, she was a Christmas 2012 baby started under the 1.7 patch, has Hearthfire and Dragonborn (Dawnguard is on hold) and nothing has broken, even with the new patch. But again she is a lowly level 23 character of only 54hrs with a 6Mb save file. I expect to get a lot of playtime before she has trouble.
