Tell us your views on the new patch

  • The 1.2 patch for Skyrim rolled out yesterday - and already I'm seeing a variety of opinions

    Some people have reported a significant improvement, others are saying that its actually made things worse and created problems where none existed before.

    I've already noticed one baffling change to the PC key mapping - the arrow keys no longer work, which means I have to navigate menus via the directional keys (WASD). Hardly game breaking, but a bit annoying when I'd got used to using the arrows.

    So, I thought we'd have a thread and a poll dedicated to how people are finding the patched game.

    Vote in the poll and let us know your considered views on this thread. I look forward to your insights!

    I installed the patch yesterday, with many misgivings.  I play on Xbox off the disc, and I have noticed no difference whatsoever.

    I patched my Xbox and then game looks beautiful. I thought it looked good before, but after they fixed the hard drive issue with textures, I was stunned at the beauty. Like I was rediscovering the game again.

    I haven't applied the new patch.  Have had no problems whatsoever up until now.  Hearing everyone else's observations, I think I'll just wait until they come out with a patch to fix their patch.

    Hey can someone please tell me how big their patch was? Steam is trying to make me download a 4.5Gb update for Skyrim! I live in rural Australia and out here my internet is shit, and I only get a few Gb/month for downloads. 4.5Gb is enormous for a patch, ...  more

    Had some major slowing down since the patch, mainly during combat. But other than that, nothing major.

    There should be an option for "haven't noticed a difference"

    Wow. I've been playing for some time now, and I've seen most of the reported new glitches. The worst part of all this is, the stuff they said they were fixing wasn't even fixed! I find more random dragon corpses lying around than I did before! Even more d...  more

    Xbox user here. I only experienced minor bugs with wonky lighting, box-like shadows and some low res textures (but they were few and far between) before the patch and now WITH the patch it all seems much worse! Now there are insanely annoying audio leveli...  more
