The real Skyrim PS3 lag fix may finally be on the way Smoking

Still playing Skyrim? If you are, then you’re most likely engaging on those fantasy adventures of yours through the lag-free comfort of a PC or a Xbox 360. PS3 owners, are most likely still busy hiking to Mount Doom to cast their cursed copy of the game into the molten magma, seeing as how a regular gameplay session has more breaks and stuttered action scenes than a dubstep music video.

But it looks like a ray of hope is finally peaking over the horizon, as Bethesda seems to have finally found a solution to the issue at hand for Sony sufferers.

When asked on Twitter to the status of the latest patch sorting that laggy issue out, Bethesda responded with:

 

@ we're addressing that in the 1.4 update planned for this month
@Bethblog
Bethesda Blog

Hopefully this patch can finally fix the issue at hand that the previous two patches have largely failed to do. For those of you who have just purchased the game on the PS3 console, remember, any save games exceeding 6 megabytes in size will bring the action to a grinding, stuttery halt, so go easy on the quick-saves.

In the meantime, lets hope that the PS3 audience finally gets the gameplay experience that they paid for, before some maniac suicide-FUS-RO-DAHS Bethesda headquarters.

    My lag only really started (and it’s not horrible) after my save file got to about 9megs.  But I only have 2 save files and I’ve disabled the auto-save feature.

  • http://twitter.com/JimLenoir James Lenoir

    LOL! I’ll only believe it when I see it. Bugthesda has dropped to new lows in my eyes.  Geoff, it really doesn’t matter how many saves you have, but it certainly matters the size of that save…

    what about another PC patch?
    I picked up more and more bugs as I go along

    I wish lag (not the right word, but it’s the accepted one for Skyrim) was my only problem. My save file is less than 9mb, & I haven’t been able to play the game since before Christmas. The amount this thing crashes is mind boggling. I’m lucky if I can get 10 minutes out of the thing before a hard freeze, & that’s with autosave turned off, which means it’s 10 minutes completely wasted + the rest having to restore the PS3 file system because the hard freeze has corrupted it. After deleteing the install files & patches multiple times, & restoring my file system twice I’m not putting this piece of crap near my PS3 until this patch turns up. If that doesn’t fix it, I’ll be trying to find a way to get my money back.

    Where is the god of mercy, Stendarr, now?  I am in the same boat as Kaden101.  Can’t play for 10 mins without a freeze up.  Bethesda fix this game!!  Game recall and refund, or class action lawsuit.. may come before they patch this unplayable fraud of a game.

    Get Dark Souls in the meantime , will make you forget all about Skyrim.
