Patch 1.3 in final testing phase

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 1:53 am

Idk why everyone is freaking out and crying. They really need to shut the [censored] up. Skyrim is amazing, and will only get better. As for the bugs well every bethesda game has bugs in the release. its probably just a bunch of 13 year old's playing on xbox/PS3 crying because their POS console keeps freezing, or some idiot that has a huge bottleneck and doesn't know what he is talking about and blames the game designers. Yes, I have had CTD's, but i am not [censored]ing. Just start up skyrim and load last save.

tl;dr this is a forum, if your not going to or not capable of reading then don't come here.



Imagine that you are a NEW Elder Scrolls player.

IMAGINE that this is on PS3.

Then imagine they played RPGs on the Wii before Skyrim... where games are finished on release, and not the year after release.

Release.


Once upon a time, a release date was the date the FINISHED PRODUCT was released -- not the beta.

Any word how long it will take to roll out the patch on the consoles?

Who cares, they have extremely minor issues anyway.

Oh god here we go again the old 'PC's roxxors and consoles suk' sniping from the almight PC elitists

Here's a fact, most maturee gamers, PC and Consoles, and please be sitting down when I say this... Ready?

Do not give a [censored] of your opinions.

I garuntee half the mature console gamers could probably afford to build a PC that will blow your machines out of exisitance, and I garuntee Mature PC gamers are facepalming at your elitist attitude.

Personally, I just want to discuss this game with mature gamers. Not spoiled trust fund turds who think use their PC's hardware like it was a 'member extention'

Grow up for god's sake...


I facepalmed at the way you look down on other people calling them elitists when thats exactly how you came accross and then you also consider yourself a 'mature PC gamer' I just think you sound like a stuck up fool tbh.

Skyrm might or might not win most GOTY awards.
Your post, however, wins worst post of 2011.

Just a bunch of personal insults, not a shred of an argument, all bundled up like clooged soggy breakfast cereals.

See, this is why I only go for the Captain. He stays crunchy in milk!

Allow me to fix every error I found with your post.

Oh god. Here we go again. The old 'PC's roxxors and consoles suck' sniping from the almighty PC elitists.

Here's a fact, most maturee gamers, PC and Consoles, and it would be in your best interest to be sitting down when I say this... Ready?

You first.

There is a difference between being an elitist, and then pointing out the flaws of a buggy game that should have been made for PC, where its true potential could have been explored. instead like the cowards in hollywood, and other entertainment industries they went the safe route. And straight up lied to us before the game was released about what we were going to expect.

So why are you here? Why aren't you playing? Some people have problems with the game and most people paid $60+ for it. I believe that gives them a right to complain. Since you don't seem to have any major problems or don't mind when you do have a problem then it shouldn't bother you that others are unhappy with their purchase. Talk about 13 year olds. That's exactly what impression your post gives. A little kid telling everybody else to shut up.

Awesome how every new topic, between pages 2-3, suddenly becomes a [censored] flame troll war of consoles vs PCs or a whining contest based on the premise 'I paid $60 gimme mah gamezors'...
with 70% less troll fat and destruction skills.

Ok they're working on it, we know that for a fact since they posted on bethblog. Hurray! Now sit down and wait.
It's an unfinished game, yes I agree it is.
Every new game for the Xbox has been unfinished for a while now, I could mention 5 easily but I don't know if I'll get censored so I won't lol... anyway you should be used to it by now.

I feel sympathy for PS3 players tho, they pretty much said they won't be fixing crap on it for a while, which is seriously worse than a kick in the nuts.

PC players, what the hell are you complaining about? Ok DRM svcks and Steam is from the devil but you have incredible mod communities out there. Surely every other modder out there must be working their back off (and will likely finish earlier than Beth at that...) to fix/improve every single detail of an already great game (damn you can craft stuff I can't, see details I can't, balance/enhance the game in ways Xbox/PS3 can only wet dream of)

And Xbox fellows out there, wave (some) glitches good-bye, we getting the patch and we get DLC a month earlier (ok that actually isn't that great but it's something we'll enjoy later - teasing others).

Beth is doing exactly what whiners wanted: communicating about what they're doing about the bugs. It baffles me that whiners STILL continue whine.

I hope this patch fixes alot because i'm tired of seeing all this crying about bugs. Don't get me wrong people should point bugs out but I don't see how bethesda orders all these complaints. I think people should point out a bug and instantly lock the thread i'm pretty sure that would be easier to help order them for bethesda and get them fixed not all this whining and sh*t (not intended at anyone in this thread j/s)

Once upon a time, a release date was the date the FINISHED PRODUCT was released -- not the beta.


It doesn't help that modern games are enormously more complex than games from even 5-6 years ago. You think past games for PC and consoles in the 90s shipped bug free? Hell no, and you're just ignoring the facts if you claim they were. DOS games, NES, SNES, Sega, games for ALL of those platforms were no stranger to bugs, some more than others. Looking back and claiming that past games shipped "finished" with no bugs is not only ignoring the truth, it doesn't even take into account the MASSIVE scale by which games are made these days as compared to their predecessors.

How long do you think it took to debug a large problem on NES Mario Bros for a team of developers? A day or two maybe, if that? Try that with millions of lines of code in a game environment where SO MUCH is interconnected and context sensitive. And many of these issues CANT be discovered with a few people QA testing, there are just too damn many avenues to take in a game like this for them to test every possible scenario in every possible order to check how A affects B when also considering the impact of C through Z and so on. The QA testers were always moving on to a new build, day after day after day, testing a new build to fix something or add something from the previous build, when unknowingly somewhere between build 500 and 501 something was overlooked and made it into the final master because there was not enough time to go back and thoroughly retest everything tested prior. When it was released to a massive audience, some issues were quickly discovered simply because of the sheer number of players hammering away at the game in their own particular way. Once those issues were discovered and Bethesda could see the symptoms, that points them in the right direction to patch but it is still a very delicate matter.

They are on their way to treat Skyrim to three patches in less than a month from launch. That update schedule is much more aggressive than how past TES titles were updated (granted 1.2 was a little TOO aggressive but they've settled on a good pace), and still the whining bellows forth, that it isn't fast enough and we need the game perfect NOW WAHHHHHHH!!!

ffs...

Since I'm on a PS3 and am not experiencing the lag problem (yes, I have all of the characteristics of someone who should have the problem already, but I don't), I am glad I'll get the resistance fix with 1.3.

Thanks, Bethesda! :celebration:

Weapons are still flying, don't know what bug you are talking about in Breezehome^^

Wow. Not even Oblivion had flying weapons >.<

I'm on the unpatched version on the 360 (using the disc, not the HDD), and my weapon racks can't be activated. This is a known bug that happens to some unfortunate players, but not all. Also, I've heard of a bug that makes the wall to the alchemy room disappear and the chest on the shelf in there lose its items, but it hasn't happened to me personally.

actually, I am not whining, just wanting more info. saying we are working on the ps3 is grand, but they are rolling out a patch for pc this week and mention nothing of what they were working on. so still a lack of communication in that regard

I'm not expecting much from a patch that was whipped together in week considering they worked on the actual game for 5 years.


I used to be an adventurer like you, until i tried to play a Bethesda game....

Actually, it was 3 years, not 5.

I hope this patch fixes alot because i'm tired of seeing all this crying about bugs. Don't get me wrong people should point bugs out but I don't see how bethesda orders all these complaints. I think people should point out a bug and instantly lock the thread i'm pretty sure that would be easier to help order them for bethesda and get them fixed not all this whining and sh*t (not intended at anyone in this thread j/s)

I actually think that there should be a sticky official thread about bugs, where OP would contain all the bugs reported so people know what's been reported and what's not.

I hope they fix the problems in Breezehome. And the floating weapons everywhere. But I'm not sure if that was already fixed in previous patches since I never updated my game, having heard of the troubles the patches caused. Has anybody experienced this?

Only real problem I had with Breezehome was that the weapons rack didn't even give me an option to place anything on it. Just an ugly piece of furniture now...

Exactly. I've only heard of other bugs causing the chest to eat items etc.
