As I have a few days to myself I thought I would crack on with Skyrim, it’s just been patched so everything should be fine now, no backwards dragons, no dodgy quests, right?
Wrong.
Turns out that the latest patch on PlayStation 3 has a new bug; When your character enters water the game crashes and it’s time to hold down the power button and reset the console.
Bethesda’s solution: Delete your game data and reinstall the whole package including the updates.
My solution: Swear at Bethesda, throw Skyrim in the bin.
Thanks to gazo69 for the tip.

This was what I said in the forums friday. What a stupid mistake to make. Bethesda has made an awesome game, but damn does it have it’s faults

Presumably you don’t have to lose your save as well, just the game install? Bit of a cock up, but I don’t see it being too bad really if it is fixable with a reinstall.

If I delete everything, it’s ok?
I’ll take that.
Fucking annoying though, why can’t they develop properly?

Glad I just didn’t bother getting Skyrim.

they don’t test it on ps3 for sure, they don’t care about the ps3. Just like oblivion, the vampire bug, its so lame.
And then they release that anniversary edition and still have that vampire bug wtf…
never buy games on a sony console from Bethesda!

I can’t even remember what patch i started Skyrim on. I’ve only played 20 minutes so deleting and reinstalling isn’t a big deal for me.

I saw this on the Bethesda forums before I downloaded the patch do I did what it said and done a clean install and it works, 6hrs of uninterrupted questing. I agree their testing dept seems a bit s**t but I’m glad they’re supporting the game.

lol, there is no bigger joke in the games industry than Bethesda.
Erroneus
And that’s why I still haven’t bought Skyrim. Gonna buy it this summer when it’s down in price, I have plenty of time and hopefully a few more patches has been released :P
