Is the Xbox 360 update worth it? : V

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 1:12 pm

Skyrim is running very well for me (barely lags only in extreme situation) on Xbox except for the textures not always loading, which doesn't bother me very much. I have heard the first update introduces even more glitches. Is this true? Am I better off not getting the update?

Skip 1.2 and wait for 1.3
I'm still playing, and enjoying, 1.1

From this thread: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1300562-skyrim-what-were-working-on/

We all know this is a huge game, and everyone has a different experience. We’ll continue to do everything we can to make the game better and better for as many people as possible every day. We’ve also realized that with the millions upon millions of people playing Skyrim, we need to treat our updates with greater care. If we get too aggressive trying to fix a minor issue, we run a risk of breaking something larger in a game like this. To be safe, we are prioritizing code side fixes right now over data fixes. Quest and balance issues are usually data, and those will start rolling in a large way with the January updates.

Relevant sections highlighted for effect.

The Hardware/Software forum is broken down by platform, you may get a better answer in the XBox forum. I know they have stickies that talk about a lot of things.

Isn't 1.3 out, or is it only out on PC?

I would wait until 1.3 comes out, tuesday I think, then download 1.2 and 1.3, you will probably be okay then. I advise against 1.2 on its own though, it has added so many little bugs to my game, I'm restarting when 1.3 comes out.

If you want to be extra sure wait a few days after 1.3 and see what people say, it may have introduced even more bugs.

I don't know. I didn't experience any bugs with the 1.1 update, and I still am not experiencing any with 1.2.

I have 2 questions:
1) When exactly is 1.3 releasing?
2) I downloaded 1.2, and I hate the resistance bug. If i clear my hard drive from it will it get rid of 1.2 and i won't have to download it?

I'm on 1.3 (PC) and it fixed all of the 1.2 issues, so even if you hit 1.2 issues they'll be fixed.
