Razthemystic Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/3580/article/bethesda-announces-day-one-patch-for-skyrim/ No game is without a patch on the first day of release these days, and Skyrim is no exception. Bethesda has announced its plans to release a patch for its upcoming RPG for all three platforms—the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3—upon the game's release. Nothing is known about what the patch is set to contain, but it will, without a doubt, fix bugs that otherwise managed to make it into the release version of the game—presumably ones too late for the company to fix before sending the disc off to the burners.

anandus Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 You'd almost think they'd do it on purpose to get to version 1.1 on 11/11/11 :P But either way, I always encourage patches. Games (especially the size of Skyrim) are never 100% bug free, so the earlier a patch the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xochen Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 lol nice a patch on the 11th, also makes me grin even more over those who are dl'ing it right now, hope it is something lot bigger than just minor bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cire992 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Well you can't expect them to just sit on their asses after the game goes gold. They start working on patches and dlc when they finish the game, not when we receive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltreU Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I hope the bug fixes are just for small things, I definitely won't be able to get the game patched that day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rennn Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I don't know why everyone hates patches so much; fifteen minutes (on the high end) and you can go back to gaming, only you'll be playing a higher quality, less buggy game. Sounds like a great trade-off to me. As someone said before me, they start work on patches as soon as the game is done, not as soon as we get it. We should be thankful Bethesda is committed to supporting the game after launch and fixing problems even after they have our cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceryury Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I hope the bug fixes are just for small things, I definitely won't be able to get the game patched that day... Steam doesn't allow to run unpatched games if it detects that there is a patch available (ie. if you activate it and it "sees" the patch you must download it before you can launch the game).

Tweetybird Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm all for the patches, especially when they actually fix things and not make them worse. Whoops, there I go hating on EA again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
