I've got my copy since 11-11-11, I know all the tips about how to improve the performance... and tried them all.
Some info about my system and circunstances:
- PS3 super slim 500Gb (78Gb actually in use).
- 14mb save game file size.
- Level 62.
- Autosaves OFF.
- All DLC installed, not completed.
- I've deleted all autosave files (Dragonborn ones) , cleaned the chache, reinstalled the DLC's, and installed the new patch. (I've repeated this process today reinstalling the game data).
- Waited 30 in-game days.
- Created a new save game slot.
- +12 hours of gameplay, so those old scripts can be replaced by the new ones.
My game worked " well " with 1.7 patch (I really think this patch did a good job improving the performance), a little bit worse with 1.8 (except for the extremly glitched Hearthfire) but still an acceptable performance with zero freezes. And now with this new patch, my game has become really unstable. The lag has appeared again, and it seems that the performance deteriorates as time goes on playing until it finally freezes. Exploring skyrim, every time a new cell is loading I got lag (1 - 2 seconds freezing) a lot of stuttering here and there to the point where playability results annoying, so riding a horse results just ridiculous. I can't travel fast without the dead body of a dragon, some times they are two, appearing in front of me causing more unstability.
This is a short list of all the problems I'm experiencing with this new patch, to not mention the shiny enchanting tables and items (now they are 90% more common than before), blurry textures, weird animations (I think hearthfire is causing this) and more...
So... thank you Bethesda, you ruined my experience again. Patches are supposed to be to fix things, but not to make them worse.
So basically we're again at the point at wich you got my money and all I have is a broken product.
I hope you fix this situation soon Bethesda. (excuse my bad english)
