Skyrim Patch Makes Dragons Fly Backwards

[Creator002]

What if you have Steam start when your computer starts up, like I do? Does this mean my Skyrim will either be fucked (from the patch) or unplayable (if the update starts and doesn't finish) regardless?
Damn, if so.

EDIT - Then again, I haven't had a problem pre-patch so far, so maybe I'll be lucky. Backwards dragons will be good for a little bit, even if just for a laugh.

Didn't have any problems pre patch, other than minor stuff that was negligible and a couple of freezes. Post patch I haven't really had any problems either, the game slows a little bit randomly but just for a second and not often, I'm running on a Xbox 360. I really hope I don't hit any bad glitches, so far I've been good, nowhere near how shafted Fallout New Vegas would sometimes leave me.

I got skyrim on PC, and this patch fucked up some shit for me aswell.

Sometimes texture for armor turns pink/purple and the crashes occur much more frequently now. My brother got even worse, his interior textures turns into some kind of grey blurry fog-walls. Neither of us had problems before.

 

[Awexsome]

Huh. And this is still considered the favorite to take Game of the Year awards across the internet? I was willing to wait on it at first as we waited for some fixes but after this patch it's glaringly obvious that the quality and polish nowhere near what such a highly regarded game should have.

 

[Right Hook]

Now we need a patch for this patch, and maybe a patch for that patch and still a patch for the problems that the original patch did not fix. Then the DLC is going to come out and we're going to need a patch for that, along with a patch for the issues that that patch brought up and...

Yo dog, I heard you like patches...

So we got a patch to go on your patch! So you can be patching while you patch!

Actually this exact thing has literally already happened with New Vegas, a patch to fix the game messed it up even worse, I was prepared for this.

 

[Furioso]

I say we occupy Bethesda studios until they agree to hire a testing team, they clearly don't spend more than a half an hour testing what they make

And Bethesda was doing so well...

So, the unpatched version of the game works leaps and bounds better than this 'fixed' update version.

Next time I get on Steam, I'm making doubly sure that thing stays away from my game. It hasn't bugged out on me once after hours of dungeon crawling and dragon slaying.

The game is not "broken" I have put 30 hours into 1 character since I bought Skyrim last week, and I haven't had a single bug that prevents me from enjoying my time in the land of the Nords.

This is what Bethesda do, they release an amazing game because they put a lot of effort into it, and they release it as soon as it is ready so the fans can enjoy it all the sooner. Then they keep putting more effort in until all the bugs are fixed. Long time Bethesda fans have to put up with more of it, but they don't complain. You might as well expect Activision to not be a money-grabbing industry-whore

Not sure if srs.

I only have one thing to say, and I think I'm gonna say it on behalf of everyone at Bethesda, even though I don't work there: OOPS!

 

[BehattedWanderer]

See, this, this here? This exactly? This is why I don't buy Bethesda's large open world games right out of the gate. I wait, until they've patched all they're going to patch, or at least until the consensus seems to be that the game isn't as consistently broken. I remember being excited for New Vegas, then cautiously reminding myself to wait until it actually smoothy operated. And it was worth the wait.

 

[Spawny0908]

Bethesda! Y U NO fix Sykrim?!?!?

 

[chstens]

Still not as good as the dragons flying as space ships glitch. That's some hilarious shit. The USS Dovahprise, captain on deck. Engineering, status report.

 

[Ranorak]

Anyone on the Xbox360 can confirm these bugs?

So far my pre-patch game was perfectly fine, no bugs at all.

so I rather not download it until I get some confirmation the bugs are really that bad.

 

[Mestraal]

Urgh, the disappearing mannequins are nothing new to me. That happened pre-patch, too. I wanted to make them pretty =[

But yeah, this comes as no big surprise nor disappointment. It's just the way the world (that Bethesda creates) works.

 

[anthony87]

I shall now tempt the fuck out of fate by stating that over the course of my....64 hours(HOLY FUCK! ALREADY???)of playtime I have not had a single bug aside from the occasional CTD.

 

[Kimarous]

That's the nice thing about not getting this game until Christmas; I get to avoid these irritable major glitches.

 

[Risingblade]

This is New Vegas all over again

 

[Matt Bruna]

I haven't run into any problems other then the usual 'Radiant AI' and path-finding bugs, on the ps3 here.


suppose, There was one time, upon helping someone defeat dragon priest 'Vokun' The NPC froze in place, and acted as if in battle.

After a spot of adventuring, they were following me again. So I backtracked to the dungeon, where there was now a big hovering arrow over the scroll they watned, which I had missed.


Despite the fact she stood 10 inches from it, she wanted me to pick it up and then hand it to her.

It's cool though, the whole adventure granted me 'call storm' shout.

 

[JamesBr]

Son of a *****! I had this happen to me not fifteen minutes after patching and I was wondering if this was caused by the patch or if I had not come across this particular bug yet. Good to know they're putting their patches through QA before release.

 

[YodaUnleashed]

Well the patch fixed my major game-breaking glitch whereby I couldn't continue the thieves guild quest, so I'm quite happy.
