Skyrim 1.8 Beta

[frihyland]

Skyrim 1.8 Beta has been released, its a small update that fixes some serious issues.  Unfortunately it doesn't update the CK to the new formats, so mod authors will have to wait in order to make/update mods that are compatible with 1.8 :P  Savegames made with 1.8 active will not work with previous versions (as usual).

Changelog

 

Bug Fixes

• General memory and stability improvements
• Fixed rare crash when using vampiric grip
• Fixed issue where Arnleif and Sons Trading Company could become permanently locked
• Fixed issue related to duplicate NPCs

Too bad it doesn't seem to fix Hearthfire issues.

 

 

It hints on the next DLC though:

Now, THAT would be awesome.

Solsthiem, dragon mounts, casting magic and shouting while dragon-mounted, new gear, wow. Seems like a real expansion.

 

Its apparently getting named Dragonborn.

 

I like that its an actual landmass expansion, and it makes sense, Solsthiem is quite close to Skyrim. It could be added to the map outright, although I assume theyll make it an island you 'travel to' and back like Point Lookout.

Bah, itll be a PS3 timed exclusive. 30 days.

 

Oh well, back to my 200 PC-exclusive mods. :p

I believe that's a reference to their releasing a DLC for consoles first, then for Windows 30 days later.

The only console with timed exclusivity was the Xbox 360 and the deal was just for the first two DLC.

 

Dawnguard isn't even out for the PS3 so I don't really know why he mentioned PS3 exclusivity for the new DLC. Hence my post.

 

 

 

So... :pirate: & and stuff.

Sorry I should have linked that and actually double-checked my sources, as it appears to be mostly a rumor at this stage based on snippets of code mentioning the PS3 in the beta patch. I first read it on Beth's boards in the latest DLC thread at the time and people seemed pretty sure of this because some of the gaming press picked it and presented it as an almost done deal.

 

So consider my prior post amended to "maybe PS3 exclusive". I guess until Bethesda confirms it, we wont really know.

I highly doubt that will happen. As others have said, they have yet to release any DLC on PS3 as they are having significant problems getting it to work.

[frihyland]

Actually the rumors are that they are officially dropping ps3 support completely because sony isn't helping the development and they are completely stuck. Again just rumors though.

[Valamyr]

Huh, well if that turns out to be true Ill have been extra silly to believe the first thing I read :D Theres that bit of code in the patch mentioning PS3 but that can certainly be meaningless/outdated.

I normally don't run beta versions but tried this one out... fixed my stability problems... not sure how. "General Stability Fixes" probably... lol
