Glitches, bugs and freezing

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 10:03 am

Wether this topic should be in general discussion but I play Skyrim on a PS3 so I felt like its kind of fitting here too, and all the more attention it gets the faster (hopefully) Bethesda will fix the glitches I and many others have experienced.

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

First off, the houses in the different cities are glitchy as hell. Since the last update (I dont know which version it is now, 1.2 or something. Just look at the date of the post and maybe you can figure it out) the bookshelves have been glitchy for me. I place books there and when I try to replace them they get stuck and is still visible on the shelf but then I cant activate it anymore and thus its unusable.

Also the mannequins (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Proudspire_Manor. Havent tried those in http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Hjerim yet and I will get to that) wont show the armor on them, they work for a moment when I reload the game but then they turn invisible but the gloves/gauntlets, headwear and boots is still visible. Weapon racks dont work correctly anymore either, they kind of "eat" the item and you'll never see it again.

And now, the house in http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Hjerim, its involved in the quest "http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_on_the_Ice". When you're done with the quest and you can buy the house there's supposed to be an option to "clean up" your house when you buy the decoration upgrade from the steward, if you dont do this there will be blood on the floor and a bloody chest and in the sacrifice room where the Enchanting and Alchemy laboratories is meant to be located the sacrifice altar/table will still be there glitched in the bookshelf and bodyparts will still lay on the ground which you cant pick up to remove.

Second, This freezing problem is not much of a problem anymore, froze only once today (which is an improvement, lol). But I havent tried those tips I read about the before like turning off auto saving and clearing the harddrive (although my PS3 is fairly new and I havent played too many games on it yet, but there might be stuff I can remove anyways). But if you, Bethesda, could try to work on this that would be real swell since the hard resets is sadly taking a toll on PS3's all over the world.

Another place where you (Bethesda and users) can read about glitches is the http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki, basically every page has a bug/glitches column so it could be worth checking out if you want to know about more problems.

Skyrim is the first Elder Scrolls game I have played but im not new to Bethesda's work, I've been playing alot of Fallout 3, New Vegas and Brink. But I found myself feeling like a young boy on christmas playing Skyrim so hopefully these glitches and bugs will be fixed in a near future so the gaming experience will be even better!

there is a section for hardware/bugs. There is also a section for spoilers as well. Might get better response there.
