And people modding their games even broke it for consoles. Those bastards! :stare:

I used to have Steam in online mode, then i took news of the patch 1.2 in the knee...

Wow realy the patch svcks resistances are BROKEN and dont work which means with patch you can kill flame atronaches with fire, I would say that is not a good patch.

:rofl:

Hi there! My xbox 360 would like to point out how much of an idiotic post this is! Ok carry on!

Boo-ho-ho my 100% fire resistance broke so a backward flying dragon landed in front of me and breathed fire out of its [censored] and killed me.

How do you mod .ini files on consoles? How is it the users fault that a patch has caused ALL Magic Resistance in the game to simply disappear? Wanna explain that one?

Ah, so they are not bugs but features? in the next patch they should also break damage resistance and the rest of the enchantment effects, that way they would solve both "the game is too easy" and "smithing and enchanting are ovepowered" complaints :lmao:

One thing I want to ask: is this only being observed when loading old save files? (that is, characters started during 1.1)

That's Boo-hoo-hoo. Honestly, you people make me so mad sometimes...

Although this does seem like a set up for another piece of in-game dialogue...

"Did you see those Nords in Skyrim? They've got dragons flying backwards. Flying. Backwards."

Screw you, Hammerfell!

Except the backwards dragons dont land and if they do it often locks your console. In many cases the glitched dragons follow you preventing fast travel and causing npcs to run off breaking some quests. Its obvious you havent played with 1.2 installed.

Broken resistances/weaknesses is 100x worse than almost everything fixed in the patch. With the exception of the PS3 performance issues, nothing on the list of fixes for the patch were game breaking bugs. Resistances and weaknesses are a fundamental game mechanic, them breaking is a big deal and people have the right to be upset. Though some people do overreact a little bit heh. Not being able to resist damage when you have resistance for it is a game breaker. Textures not looking as pretty as they should in some places is not, it has no effect on game mechanics or gameplay.

I havn't experienced any horrible bugs with the game exept for floating weapons, flying mammoths, and dragon crashes (Going at an incline) are extremely buggy. I have not encountered any crashes on my 360 yet. The textures are perfectly fine for me (I have heard complaints about texture being reduced when installed) and always have been. And a few glitched quests that are startable but their not game breaking. I have not encountered any game breaking bugs as everybody seems to be whining about. The game has less bugs than I thought it would when it first came out so I give Bethesda a thumbs up.

For the people who are whining about this bugs/glitches...
They will be fixed, its not like Bethesda's not doing anything about it. They are probably just as occupied trying to make DLC as they are fixing bugs. And in my opinion I'd rather have DLC come sooner than a patch...

I've had no problems so far. :confused:

:shakehead: Glad to see the new fans Skyrim brought in.

No you obviously haven’t played on the Xbox without the update. I fought 4 dragons today 2 at the same time (multiple times as they managed to kill me) and had not had these bugs. But to me the prospect of seeing a dragon fly backwards seems rather amusing, what end do they breathe fire out of? Skyrim is nothing in comparison to previous Elder Scrolls games but at least it sort of works now.

Are you serious? You would rather they release more new buggy content before they fix the already existing buggy content? :cryvaultboy:

How can you tell? My Breton still lists her racial resistance as an active effect. What sort of testing has been done to determine that it's not actually working (if it's not)?

Better to keep your mouth closed and thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. Prior to 1.2, yes, I modded and tweaked my game up and down and it worked no problem. When the patch came and my game broke, I did a clean reinstall. Guess what? It was still broken. That's a fresh install, cleaned the registry keys, no mods, no .ini tweaks. Still. Broken. I get it working, and the first time I try to enter a city to make sure it's working (prior to mods and tweaks), it crashes to desktop.

Console users are experiencing problems, too.

This was an awful patch. Seems typical of games these days, though. Developers can't seem to make a patch without breaking the game all over again.

Yeah, no. Not a great patch. As said before, my battle mage that used to laugh at dragons and wizards because of magic and element resistance is now getting trounced. My game suddenly lags like crazy. Textures are not popping up. Awesome that dragons now fly right through things. But my wife finally gets to sleep lying still for once. Yay

I'll say/ask it again since no one bothered to reply from the first page when I made this statement:

I'm sorry but I in no way should be thankful for this rubbish that broke my game more than it fixed it.

It didn't fix ANYTHING, it made the texture issues WORSE, and I'm experiencing lag NOW and I wasn't before.

I should be thankful for that? I want a detailed rundown of why I should be thankful for that.

Its confirmed. The resistances still list but do not apply at all. Ive confirmed it myself , go summon a flame atronach and cast a fire spell at it...itnow takes damage with 100% fire resistance. It didnt before 1.2

I didn't see a dragon fly backwards, but I DID see two of them do a bizarre spin since the patch, where they lay on their side in mid air and spun around really fast while using their breath attack creating a 360 blanket of flame/frost... if it didn't look so goofy it was pretty impressive the blanket effect.

This was on PC

Resistance is very very much broken.

Also for me, the stone gateway in Whiterun near the game gate, doesn't load when I'm inside the city. My textures don't seem to load right at extreme distances anymore either. Scenery that used to look amazing is now giant texture blocks of brown and white smudges.

My game has been very negatively effected by this patch, and worse yet, it was nearly perfect BEFORE the patch, I hadn't had a single major issue.

They need to recall this patch, cause it'll take longer to fix this resistance problem with another patch when it would to simply revert to 1.1

Blind praise is as annoying and beneficial as blind hate.

Is this being observed only on old save files that were started in 1.1? I'm wondering if these magic resistance bugs and crazy dragons are caused by loading an older save in 1.2.....
