Anyone know?

Makes dragons fly backwards and resistance magic worthless.

Apparently it bugs up the game like crazy. I'm waiting to install it until they release a patch for the patch. Yes, you heard me right.

It was supposed to fix some sound issues and a few interface/keymapping issues and a couple more things I forget. Nothing major unfortunately.

I really am not in the mood for complaints or bickering. I just want to know what the patch does. My game has very little bugs, so I could care less what bugged up system your on.

@Big Iron on His Hip: Yes, go look at the patch notes.

@Phoss: That isn't necessary. He did ask for what the patch does, not your opinion on it.

But he's right. It makes your game buggy as [censored]. There's some improvement to the lag situation, but not much. Other than that, it messes up magic resistance for a lot of people, and for me has confused some of the hard-coded SFX so my character has steam spouting from his shoulders like a Dwarvern Centurion.

He told you what it does, so why did you get mad?

Yeah Yeah, go cry somewhere else. I'm too busy enjoying the game, and rather not spend my time with whiny spoiled babies.

I don't know where the changelog is. Steam just downloaded the patch for me automatically with no log. Under Steam Apps?

How lazy people are. The patch notes are easily available, and the forums are full of talk about the patch. Sloth...

Was it so hard?

Breaks your game pretty much. I don't play Skyrim because my internet is disabled so it can't update.

That's subjective. I'd pat Phoss on the back, telling it like it is. OP asks about a patch and expects a freakin technical journal with no opinion. This is a forum, opinions happen. People who don't like that can get off.

Dragons now use their fire breath as an afterburner to get around quicker, quite clever if you ask me.

Wow. I asked what the patch does. I don't care about your opinion on it. Otherwise I'm gonna get pages of whiny complaints instead of information.

My data folder has no patch notes. Just checked. Steam just dowloaded for me a few minutes ago.

Really great thing called google, stop arguing and do something for yourself.

Click on the link in my previous post, if you can manage that.

I don't even know why people are actually helping you...

They're telling you the patch potentially adds bugs to the game, and you're not just ignoring them, but also blaming the ones who are warning you. Who exactly is the kid here then?

Tell you what, go install the patch. And then if you see a dragon flying backwards, or that you can't use your arrow keys to navigate though menus anymore, or that you have no more magickal resistances, or other issues you didn't had previously, don't come here complaining.

As for the changelog, it's as easy as right button on the game on Steam - Properties - View changelog history. But someone as smart as you probably already knew that.

What a ddouche-bag..

They're not just complaining to complain, though. Plenty of people have reported issues with this patch, like dragons flying backwards and magic resistance effects not working.

And I didn't offer my opinion on it. I will save you 10 seconds of your own precious time.

Seriously, if you wont even invest 10 seconds on a search engine before starting a thread... :swear:

That was great.. i honestly have never rofled so much..

Within those complaints you'll find information.

OP, the patch is amazing. It fixes all the faults that went with the game. I now have no issues. I recommend you download it now. Makes the game even more amazing. Changelog is a list of changes which are available to be viewed on the hardware and software support forums. It does exactly what it says on that perfectly. Please enjoy yourself. I know I am!

Theyre hardly opinions. Theyre facts. For most people the patch seems to [censored] the game up more. For me it only ruined the community fixes so I guess im lucky.

protip: Changelogs aren't complete and what's missing is more significant than what's present. The information you decried is more informative than any publicly given information.

ps. You're a dull jerk.
