The Skyrim 1.4 patch for PS3 has just landed, and heading the bill of changes was the much-awaited PS3 lag fix.
However if you want to get your game working as smoothly as possible, Bethesda has a few hoops you’ll have to jump through. Here’s the official word from community manager Nick Breckon:
- To ensure the fastest jump in performance after applying the patch, be sure to first create a new manual save by entering the save menu and choosing ‘save game’. You should then restart your PlayStation 3 before continuing to play.
- If you encounter strange behaviour while playing immediately following application of the patch, do not be alarmed – this is a temporary effect of Skyrim scripts correcting themselves after the update. Once this process runs its course, be sure to make a new save and restart your PlayStation 3.
There were a host of other small changes, but the lag fix will definitely be the most important for gamers.
