No. It doesn't even have to be in your Skyrim folder. Just keep all of the unzipped files in their own folder and just open the exe there instead of opening through steam.

Cool, I'll try that, thanks mate.

major game breaking glitches mean major game fixing patches and bethesda did this in a week

ROFLMAO!!!!! Post of the Week!!

Never really had any problems before 1.3, now after the update im frequently crashing to desktop. Usually happens when fast traveling or enterin/exiting areas

I noticed that to.

Ill never understand that mentality. Does it really matter? Really? Do people really get that elite/arrogant/naive persona because they play on a certain platform? Frikin sad. :facepalm::nope:

1.3 patch notes:

-Fixed bugs caused by 1.2

Thanks. I was wondering how to figure that out myself.

Huzzah! RetarDragon bug has been fixed.. Along with bookcases lol..

Hey! I take offense at that! We're not all human beings. I for one am a highly intelligent Grizzly Bear sitting at a computer.

And I'm pretty happy I'll finally be able to update my game soon. Playing on the 360 and luckily read about 1.2 before patching. I'd like to be able to install it to my Harddrive finally.

I hope they eventually fix the other housing issues. Weapon racks, wall plaques, manikins... :bowdown:

Will installing it on the hard drive not mess it up this time? I didn't see that as one of the issues addressed

How do you hold the controller?

YAY!

Bookshelves are still kind of broken. Some of them dont open.

This. A thousand times this. And also the Wabbajack they hit your machine with. You never know what you'll get from the patch. Hard to top backwards flying dragons screeching at the speed of sound away from you but I have faith!

What a joke this company has become.

LOL, the first thing it did for me was crash...

Edit:
Oh, also, installing it to the 360 actually caused it to glitch out some Textures originally. They said they fixed it in the 1.2 patch. but I didn't see it worth the download with all the other bugs.

installing on the harddrive has never been an pc issue...
this is a pc patch
so technically it was never broken

Also the exploding items, the random item movement in your home.

Also when you touch something in another location things move in odd places like under a table set positioned under a table and items being below the surface of the ground.

This patch is a DISGRACE.

7 fixes total and 3 of them revert 1.2 fixes? Get to work Bethesda. Start fixing your stuff. GOTY? Over my dead body.

I really wasn't having problems on my PC version of Skyrim but when the 1.2. patch came out, the posts were so scary that I never got it. I started a game on my PS3 and that's the only place I ever saw a backwards-flying dragon; the rest were normal and the game worked great.

I now have my PC game up and running again with this new patch and everything seems great. I went to the hot springs area (Bonestrewn Crest is there) and looked for a dragon but I think that may have been one I fought before the 1.2 patch. I'm not positive but it may have been the one that fell into the water and didn't incinerate so no soul absorbed. No biggie, there are plenty of dragons. So anyway, my game looks fine. I don't think this patch addressed the key remapping issues though, did it? I still had to revert the control key back to R to use a soul. By the way, my mouse works fine but it always did, no issues there. I hope everyone gets the fixes they need as soon as they're available. Thank you, Bethesda, you make awesome games.

:tes:

Wow, they don't fix the fact that no quest begins for me after Diplomatic Immunity, even though I emailed them and they said it will be in the next patch, but they focus on this bookcase glitch, stop rushing your patches Bethesda and fix the bugs that won't even allow us to continue the main quest!

One does not measure a patch quality by the number of bullet points in the patch notes XD

is teh patch out for 360?
