Still NO patch??

[HandsomeHolland]

Still no patch about fixing some FPS/crash problems? Are they bussy with it at all? or is it just this is it and we are done?

[mrwibble]

No one knows. It's fairly likely they are given the obvious issues many people are having, but nobody knows for sure. Meanwhile, the internet keeps churning out threads asking, "Where's muh patch?! I need muh patch, dagnabbit! I demand Todd Howard come to muh home and personally patch muh game!"

It'll come when it comes. Or not.

You can do a few things in the meantime:
- Search for mods with custom ini files that trully affects the game (most don't change anything substantial), those that remove lumen from the game have the biggest impact, but the game will suffer visually
- Search for texture swaps of landscape that are half the resolution of the original game, most textures are way to big and unecessary for those gamming at 1080p or 1440p, if you find these, the fps will increase and so will the loading times due to the lower vram requirements.
Note, using default resolution textures or even bigger ones is just a waste, especially if you don't get up close to said textures or use any other graphical technice that decreases overall quality, like upscallers.
- play with the graphic settings until you get something you like and makes the game smoother

Yes, a patch is recomended, it's clearly holding the game back from it's full potential

Devs are fully aware but do not care as long as you don't refund and do not vote down game.

Part of me wished Todd will get on social media just to post "nah, I ain't patching anything" lol

It'll be patched once they have something ready. Meanwhile, if you have an issue, ask here and we will try to help troubleshoot it.

No one knew Oblivion Remaster was coming, either. The company wants our business. It will come.

[Sourjack]

Yeah what a joke, i dont think they care to fix anything. people need to stop supporting games that run like crap on the best hardware.

There's no incentive to patch the game, especially when you still have shills defending it's poor performance.

[AsianGirlLover]

Well, seeing as how they already have your money, there’s not much incentive to rush. Maybe wait to see player reviews before buying next time?

I personally expect software companies to test their software before it is released.

All software companies do in every industry EXCEPT gaming. Crazy, isn't it?

Even Microsoft Windows and Linux, as complex as they are, would have acknowledged and attempted to fix the issue by now. What's this developer's excuse?

Maybe they're not shills. Maybe the game performs ok for them. Just a possibility (I'd say it runs well for me, but then you would accuse me of being a paid up Beth shill).

In my opinion, if you are concerned about the lack of a patch after five weeks then I would advise that you just stop playing the game for now until one drops. There will be a patch of some kind at some point but Bethesda's extreme lack of communication skills (a.k.a. blatant ignorance) means it is anyone's guess as to when that will be.

I've stopped playing the game now on PC and PS5 Pro (the console version is just as poorly optimised as the PC version in my opinion) and will continue once a patch drops that hopefully addresses the open world traversal stutters on both platforms, as well as fixing other bugs unique to this version of the game (such as the bizarre jerking animation glitch when mounting/dismounting the horse for example).

I've played around 50 hours of the game so far and I admit I've mostly enjoyed my time revisiting one of my favourite games again. Third-party mods have helped keep the PC version at least moderately playable compared to the travesty on PS5 Pro. However, I am extremely disappointed that the game was released in this state and with the lack of feedback from the developer. What irks me more is that Microsoft/Bethesda announced this game then shadow dropped it the same day! You only do that if your product is in a polished and finished state...
