How to make Skyrim patch 1.4 work for you

Skyrim Everyday I'm Shufflin'

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
