Skyrim 1.4 PS3 Patch Still Has Issues For Some

Bethesda rolled out their latest Skyrim 1.4 update to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 late last week. In the hope that it would fix the major lagging problems being experienced by PlayStation 3 gamers. Unfortunately for some the correction seems to have been only a temporary fix and has left a number of PS3 Skyrim players still experiencing issues and lagging whilst playing.

Players on the Bethesda’s forums are still experiencing problems: “Guys, I’m sad to say that this fix is only a temporary one. After three hours playing the lag is back in full force, even worse at times.,” Are you still experiencing lagging issues? If you are make sure that you have installed the PS3 update as Bethesda recommends in their instructions:

The 1.4 patch for Skyrim includes many performance-enhancing updates for the PlayStation 3. A few important things to note:

1. To ensure the fastest jump in performance after applying the patch, be sure to first create a new manual save by entering the save menu and choosing “save game.” You should then restart your PlayStation 3 before continuing to play.

2. If you encounter strange behaviour while playing immediately following application of the patch, do not be alarmed – this is a temporary effect of Skyrim scripts correcting themselves after the update. Once this process runs its course, be sure to make a new save and restart your PlayStation 3.
