Good to hear the 360 is late on this patch – I’m sure as hell not letting it download til it’s reported as not game-breaking.

And there’s nothing in the notes about fixing the House of Horrors quest bug on the 360. Fail.

5142

They also really don’t want to fuck up and make things worse. Awful lot of people have this game now, on an awful lot of weird PCs.

Aaaaand whoops, ninja edit, I hadn’t actually read the last page. Looks like they DID fuck it up already. Sigh. An insane part of my brain wants to write a Bethesda-like rule system in some kind of certified programming language, to prove that changes don’t conflict with one another. Probably not even possible, but I shudder to think of what their spaghetti rule code might look like now… there has to be some kind of better way…

Writing myself an urgent email now to remind myself to disable Steam auto-updating for Skyrim – I am having too much fun with it just as it is, I want to avoid regressions much more than I want any fixes.

5143

Unfortunately, I’m at work and I left Steam running on my home PC. I’m pretty sure it’s going to update before I get home. Ugh.

5144

So do we have any actual confirmation the PC patch causes problems? Or is it still speculation based on the PS3 issues?

5145

If you log in from work it should kick you off your home login. If you can’t login from work, just post your login name and password here and I’m sure somebody will be more than happy to use that information to access your account.

5146

Yes.

5147

Ugh, I use my atronach a lot and it often gets into the line of fire, so this hurts my character a lot. Like others said, I guess I just have to hope for a quick turnaround on a PC fix.

5148

I am surprised they went ahead with the PC rollout despite the reports of problems on both PS3 and 360. Surely it would have been better to hold it rather than release it anyway?

5149

According to UESP, the patch has been removed and verifying game cache restores 1.1.

5150

I’ve been holding off playing Skyrim in anticipation of this patch. If its just dragons flying backwards and resistances broken, I might be able to live with it if it means the mouse issues has been resolved.

5151

Mouse issues?

5152

Well, the patch has been removed anyway… at least Steam didn’t attempt to patch my game when I just started up the service. Let’s wait another week and play some long-ass Heroes VI scenarios instead!

5153

Verifying didn’t seem to change anything for me. I think the UESP article is mainly referring to the consoles, where you can delete just the patch data it downloaded.

5154

So are you saying that your Steam installation had already been patched to 1.2?

5155

I just booted my PC up and Steam downloaded something Skyrim related. If they’d pulled the patch then I don’t see why that would have happened.

I haven’t fired up the game to see if anything has changed, though.

5156

Yeah, after the verify the executable version is still 1.2.12.0, which is apparently 1.2 (original game was 1.1.21.0).

5157

I tried verifying the game cache (got 1.2 update earlier today), and while it definitely downloaded a file, TESV.exe still shows up as version 1.2.12.0. Not sure how the rollback works, if it really happened.

EDIT: Gosh, that’s what I get for not refreshing.

5158

Yeah like mouse movement being tied to your FPS.

5159

There is a way to check. Fire up the game and see if magic resistance is borked.

5160

UESP says:

Clearing the game data, and downloading the patch will now give you the 1.1 patch.

REINSTALL TIME WOOOO
