1.4 Patch?

[gsmanners]

Okay, just tried SKSE 1.4.10, and that did improve stability a bit. Only had one crash over three hours rather than two just a little earlier. It's an improvement, so I'll take it. :happy:

Does anyone know when a new version of scriptdragon will be released for this patch i cant be bothered playing skyrim without my extra hotkeys lol

Come back a Week or 3 thats how long it takes for Bethesda to come up with a Patch since the CK is their Biggest Showcase right now.

Well, I hate to have to say I've never had so many silent and not so silent CTD's since the 1.4 patch. I've also had a weird issue at Falkreath where the game started freezing for several seconds, continuing and eventually having to be shut down via Task Manager because it stopped responding. That took more than five minutes to accomplish as well as whatever caused it was obviously a serious error. :wallbash: Strangely, I'd been back and forth to Falkreath and surrounding areas several times in the same play session doing quests.

 

The only mods I'm using are SkyUI, Categorized Favourites (all updated as well as SKSE although I see there's a new version since last night,) Weapons of the 3rd Era, a few tweaks like NoNPC Greetings and Essential Companions and a lot of texture replacers, but not world textures.

 

Something I did notice and may be co-incidental is the CTD's, except for the Falkreath issue, happened when I encountered enemy mages and or vampires. I have Marcurio with me and he's a mage, but haven't had issues with him at all and he's pretty aggressive magically speaking. :) I did also notice at least one CTD was when a mage cast Ice Spike. Their other spells, and they have quite a selection, don't cause any problems and I've never encountered this before.

 

The only constant annoying issue previous to this patch and which is probably still present, is freezing in the surrounding areas, south of, and inside Riften, but I haven't dared to try it with the new CTD issue. I've had that from the very beginning on both of my characters and it only happens after visiting the town, completely random and requiring hard resets.

 

I'm just about ready to give up this game until and if the Unofficial Patch team do their excellent thing because it's just not enjoyable as it is and I'm sick of having to spam SAVE so i don't lose too much progress. I will give it a go with the latest version of SKSE and see if that improves things though. I currently have 1_04_08 (non beta.)

 

I would have stayed with 1.3 but since I want to use the CK when it's released I didn't have much choice but to update. :(

^^ Delete your ini's. Problem solved.

Lol ... I love all these 'hate' posts for BGS ... It's like saying

 

"I hate FORD because the TOYOTA wheels I love don't fit any more! Someone created this completely unsanctioned plate which kind of made the stud pattern the same, but now that FORD has changed the stud pattern again, my wheels fall off! Damn FORD ..."

 

Yeah right, I'm sure BGS (or FORD tehe) would really love to help, but ...

If your comments were in any way directed at me, well yes, it's just as annoying as the fanboy posts isn't it, and that car analogy is way overused, utterly ridiculous and not even relevant to this situation. If you're going to use a quote from someone else to describe how you feel at least make it relevant. A car is not a game and would in fact be recalled if there were safety issues, and if the user did something to cause their own problems such as the tyres, it's up to them to fix it. Warranty voided.

 

However, in this case it's a computer game and yes, Bethesda are in fact responsible for fixing the bugs, especially the ones they knew about and admitted to before release. I agree the hate posts and the stupid "Bugthesda" tag is way over the top and unnecessary, but people are also getting very frustrated with this game, it's broken patches and enduring problems. Many people, not just the "haters for the sake of hating" have good reason to be annoyed.

 

@ Morwyn Kelm

I did delete my ini's and generated new ones with the same result. I've been around TES games long enough to know what I'm doing. Thanks anyway..that's also in case you were responding to my post and not generally. :)

 

A newly generated ini will do nothing as far as the Riften issues though as they've been there through many ini changes and several patches. It's either a bad script or other internal function causing the problem and is not specific to me. Google Riften crashes and you'll get a lot of results.

<Sheesh> By the Nine, lighten up buddy ... It wasn't directed at anyone specifically and I have had, and still have, my own slew of CTD's and bugs ... :rolleyes:

 

All I was merely alluring to was the people who are running third party, unsanctioned overlay's and scripts complaining that BGS broke their game.

 

On another note however, even after all the years it's been out, I still cannot play CoH all the way through without Gameplay Errors, CTD's, Freezes, Unfinishable Missions and so on, so BGS isn't alone in creating buggy games ...

 

Oh and BTW, I didn't COPY anything from anyone's post/s, the automotive comparison came purely from my own imagination and I personally have never seen it used in another forum post and IMHO it is a perfectly acceptable and relevant comparison in light of my original point, if you fail to understand this fact or refuse to accept my opinion without rancour, then I'm afraid their is nothing more needs be said ... So ...'Nuff said

It is sad to hear so many folks are having problems with the new patch update. Never in my history of gaming have I witnessed a game that has had so many issues with patches. Skyrim takes the cake on that one. I am sure some of the fault lies with mods developed for earlier versions of the game but the biggest fault lies with Bethesda. The only real stable patch they have put out that caused very few problems was 1.3 which I am still using and will continue to do so since I want to finish the game and be done with it. Another fault area is Steam since all Skyrim users are forced to use it and receive the update patches threw it. When I read that it is taking some folks 12 hours or more of download time to get the patch I wonder if some are getting a corrupted copy of the patch via the stream server? I am sure if Skyrim would have been a stand alone game not requiring stream some of the problems would not be happening. I hope Bethesda is happy. I for one am done with that game developer. There are other developers out there that produce excellent role playing RPG action games on the same plain as Skyrim that do not require Stream to function and do not have the enormous patch issues Skyrim is having. Wonder how many issues the upcoming CK will cause since it too will have to be run through Steam.

Uhh...seems i rather stay at 1.3 for now, with my spinning, sabertooth tiger corpses flying all over the place. :armscrossed:
