Skyrim patch downloading right NOW (pc)

[JimboUK]

Putting back the original exe is only a temporary solution, we're going to be stuck with the CTD friendly new one when the 1.2 patch finally arrives.

This kind of crap makes legit users turn pirate. :(

SOO TRUE

Thanks for the headsup.

So they're basically making anything like OBSE impossible. Sweet. Thought those frigging morons ought to have learnt something from the success of witcher 2. But no. How sad.

I just got a new patch from steam. made my game playable again.

[Moonlightsong]

According to other sources only the exe was replaced. It is in order to prevent the game from running without steam. There is no change in version number nor in game functionality. The game's version number has not changed.

 

I find it ironic that they give Steam a patch before they give the game it'self a patch. There will be more no-steam mods to come, fear not.

so the LAA-disable and all that other stuff getting broken was a mistake?

If you let the new patch install and then make the resulting new exe large address aware, whether with CFF Explorer or any other method, the game will not run EITHER through Steam or direct from the exe.

If you just let the new patch install and then run the game through Steam, it reverts to crashing a lot.

Nice job, Beth.

Obviously anything related to games executable is broken and will not work anymore. So yeah, no 4gb memory anymore or anything else for that matter. And you can't really do that by a mistake.

 

Still wonder why I can't run the game at all tho.

Here is what worked for me. I'm on Win 7 Ultimate if it matters.

 

Go offline with Steam. Then right click the Skyrim launcher icon on the desktop. Choose "RESTORE PREVIOUS VERSIONS"

 

Should see your backups, choose the one dated prior to todays.

 

Game ran with fine that way.
