The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim PC Performance discussion

Xbox 360 controller support seems patchy since th update. I'll not get a chance till later to try it out. I hope it's not borked.

It was working fine for me in the 30 minutes I played earlier (after the patch).

Resistances being gone completely explains why that mage in the cave part of that meadery for an early thieve's guild quest was wrecking me in like 2 lightning bolts though. I kept thinking he shouldn't be this goddamn strong, I'm only level 26.
 
So is there any way to stop the stuttering when looking at a light source in caves and such?? I get bad stuttering a slowdown when there are candles or lamps in a cave, it sucks. Runs fine when I get outside.
 
this is crazy, cant believe they released this after the issues the consoles had this morning.

Disable network card it is. Nevermind, steam wont let me start in offline mode. this really sucks
 
Load times twice as long. I never had texture problems till patch. Got utterly destroyed by the first dragon priest I encountered. Other then that things are fine so far. 360 controller still working.
 
Does resistances being gone mean my shield perk that lets me block 50% of fire/shock/ice damage is worthless? Or is it just racial / enchanted armor based resistances?
 
What happens if you change your character look using the console command?

Will any points reset? Anything glitch up? Will racist NPCs realise?

Sub, press the button to the left of 1 (to load console command) and type in tm. Type it in again to turn it back on.
 
Just wondering if anyone has this problem, but does anyone get a large FPS drop after playing for a while exiting to the outdoors? Game is smooth in interiors but when I exit to the outdoors I get a severe drop to 20 fps for no reason and the only fix is to restart the game.

If you stay the same race, your racial abilities will disappear until you go to the main menu and reload. If you change race nothing happens that I can tell, though I read it can get buggy if you're a werewolf when you transform back.

I have this problem too, I have yet to find a fix
 
Didn't Todd say they were implementing something to make patching faster? And the first patch took this long and broke more stuff. Hoorah.
 
Also, I can't seem to store items in chests now. The R key does nothing. Anybody else having this? I have some dragon bones and scales I'd really like to drop off...

Fucking Bethesda.

That sucks. Just read about it on the wiki.

Wanted a clean cut human but my cat will have to do. Don't want to restart 60 hours of play.

In other news, I tried loading the game again and Steam decided to update it. Decided to let it go through. My exe still says 1.1.21.

Fucking Bethesda.

My R key is fucked up too! I can't take all items, and I can't confirm racemenu changes like I did before. I'm using the pre-LAA exe too and it's STILL fucked! WTF!
 
No problems for me with this patch with the Skyrim4GB loader.

I do hope to see a Dragon flying backwards though, probably funny.
From the things I've read on here and reddit, I'm kinda worried about playing. I have backups though so it should be fine.
 
Blah.
I noticed Steam said it had downloaded something and I feared the worst when I saw it was Skyrim. I swear I had auto-update off.

Sounds like things are really messed up now... what a pain.
 
For non-skyrim-related reasons, i need to format my main drive tonight and reinstall windows. I also have skyrim symlinked to another drive that will not be formatted.

so when i get back up and running and reinstall steam, how do i make steam recognize that I already have the files? i really don't want to download it all again before I can play.
 
Jeez... the game really is not playable for me with a gamepad now. So I actually have to stop playing until they fix it. Fantastic.

Same for me, I worked the whole day and coming back home with this is just so lame. How can they even do this to their own consumers? If I select 'no updates' I mean NO UPDATES damn it.

Fucking pirates are having a great time right now and we're stuck with backwards dragons, how is such a thing even possible you ask? I say Bethesda.
 
Looks like I'm the only one with this issue?

You try checking the ini? First time I read this one even from reading other boards.

If you don't have it , grab the 1.1.21 exe in the OP uGrids section and re-patch LAA in. You also try 4GB Skyrim still?
 
You try going back to the old exe and re patching in LAA?

This does not work people. If you try going back and using the old-exe the "features" of the new patch still exist, including the broken R and Tab keys, the auto-move, etc.

Whole thing is broken hard on PC. Thieves can't use A and D to unlock doors anymore. WTF?
 
so after disabling vals crafting mod and playing for about 45 min I can honestly say

the game is running much better, in cities, outside of cities
graphics do look a tiny bit better

besides that, everything is business as usual.


so, uh, thanks bethesda!

Yeah I restored the old EXE + LAA, still can't store items in chest or hand them to my follower. I also can't tab out of the map. Haven't tried lockpicking yet.


Fuck it, I'ma go play BF3 or Arkham til Bethesda get their shit together. It's pathetic really...these bugs were apparent within minutes of installing the patch yet somehow their "QA" missed them...terrible.

I swear it works for me, I take that back then. I can't really preach that if its not working for everyone. So those who've patched are in this for the long run now. I know I can still launch the game with the LAA 1.12.21 exe though.

Gonna have to amend the updates section then.

I did get better frames in whiterun for the minute or two I was there... post patch
 
Am I the only one who hasn't done any modding because if it's going to take 30 minutes to get some mods installed and working I'd rather spend that in game? Hell, I haven't even installed Large Address Aware or anything.

One day I will, but for now, I'd rather be playing.
 
Fast travel doesn't work. Yay!

I had the same problem with fast travel along with the game menu not displaying after the update. I ended up deleting all of my ini files, reinstalling my mods, and everything was fine. N.B. I did not reinstall Skyrim Script Extender or Val's Crafting Meltdown. I am not certain but I think that Skyrim Script Extender was the problem causing fast travel not to work and Val's Crafting Meltdown caused my game menu to not show up. Again, I am not sure, but that's how I fixed those problems.
 
In addition to the problems I'm having with the controller, the magic resistance issue makes my atronachs useless when I'm using AoE magic. (._. ) Damn it, Bethesda.

Try setting "bFull Screen=1" in prefs?
Had to set this:

bFull Screen=1
iSize H=1200
iSize W=1920

Thanks. No idea what happened.

edit: I think it may be because the MO file wasn't updated (that's what I changed). Just checked the main skyrim ini and it was set correctly. Not sure why this happened since before the patch it was fine.

The only mod I have is the killable kids one, and it's not even active. I keep forgetting to activate it when I play lol. But no, there's no way I'm fucking with any mods yet. I'd rather wait until the game is more stable and the mods have been more thoroughly tested. I haven't had any crashes so I'm being very careful not to start them.
 
So even barring the fact that the patch itself fucked up a bunch of stuff, the notes still look completely sparse. I thought this was supposed to fix crashing to windows and framerates and things that mattered? At least guests won't show up dead to my wedding.
