SeraVerte Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I'm planning on purchasing Dawnguard soon, and just wanted to ask if there are any specific problems with the 1.7 patch.I ask this because upgrading to 1.6 from 1.5 was a pain, with animation problems, and what appeared to be numerous mod conflicts Edited August 13, 2012 by SeraVerte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xNodus Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 What danger are you afraid of? As in, losing your savegame or CTDs/missing animations or scripting errors? Personally I just started a new savegame with all my mods and I haven't had 1 CTD, which is heaven for me because I had gotten accustomed to my savegames getting corrupted every 2 days or so. I've been playing with the new patch and DG for about 5 days and it's been swell. No errors on my game :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yeah. The first five or six hours are great. I remember them fondly. That was about when the deep hurting began. Consider yourself warned. Me, I'm sticking with 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow56 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I went from 1.6 to 1.7 and have had no problems what so ever. Running over 30 mods. Just remember to get the latest version of SKSE for patch 1.7 if you have mods that require SKSE to work. As far as Dawnguard, I have not purchased that yet.

Deleted3507349User Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Updated to 1.7 and bought Dawnguard last weekend. The only problems I had were with a few mods that need to be updated to work with the new content. Only major boo-hoo is Containerized Favorites acting up. I see no reason not to go for them. Your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativelybest Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 1.7 caused a few problems for me. Specifically, I was missing combat animations (which I fixed with a mod) and it also messed up the game's shadows to the point where I had to turn them all off.

NoAardvarksAllowed Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Some people have reported various serious problems. For me 1.7 + DG has meant a bunch of weird little things, like the messenger guy started showing up in his underwear, raindeer/caribou not running but gliding along the ground, actors getting stuck in animations, etc. Nothing game-breaking, but sure irritating. Oh, if you consider stinkin' vampires trying to snack on you when out on a nice evening stroll a problem, you may experience some of that too.
