Skyrim & Steam

[vometia]

It's not exactly comprehensive; then again, I had problems with numerous issues mentioned, namely projectiles never disappearing, messy dragon corpses, "mouse sensitivity" (let's hope this is the thing where you have to click on something several times only to have something else happen) and the key rebinding being totally mucked up. Having ESC exit menus instead of tab or whatever other random button or mouse-click will probably be nice, too.

Shame it doesn't mention all the other numerous embuggerences.

Randomly, I downloaded the pre-alpha of Wrye Bash for Skyrim today which revealed that the update.esm had never actually been activated. Sigh.

The game treats Update.esm in a special way. It doesn't need to be activated.

I duno about you, but 40MB of memory usage while idling isn't exactly "no footprint" to me.

I dunno what your Steam is doing, but in offline mode mine clocks in at 7,612K (according to Task Manager). In online mode, it sits around ~11,000K.

I'm randomly reminded of my first computer, which had 32K to play with. Well, when I say "32K to play with", it was usually closer to 20K by the time its operating system and the display had claimed their share.

Latest update seems to be providing quite a lot of entertainment value. Except for the people who've actually tried to use it...

Indeed. If you haven't yet updated to 1.2, DON'T. Unless you LIKE there being no elemental resistances and/or your dragons never being within melee range.

I realize that with Steam this may not be possible since it's "don't update me" option rarely works as advertised, even in "offline" mode. I'm still a happy 1.1 non-infected user and plan to stay that way until Bethesda goes and hires a real QA team.

I'm being very entertained NOT !!!

This is worse than a joke.

Okay that's enough bitching and moaning about Steam and the patches.

Thread locked.
