Skyrim Lag to be fixed in next update on PS3

PS3 lag issues finally getting a fix in next Skyrim update.

The next update for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will finally remedy the lag issues that PlayStation 3 gamers have been putting up with since launch. Bethesda claims to be addressing the lag issue in the upcoming 1.4 update, which will roll out to the consoles later this month.

The ongoing complaint from PlayStation fans about the lag in the game has been a pretty big thorn in the side of an otherwise great game. We'll have to wait and see if any other issues crop up after the update is applied. Remember, an earlier update pushed to consoles started making dragons fly backwards, so its pretty much a crap shoot at what might happen to the world when this latest patch releases.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released this November, and Bethesda has revealed plans for DLC in the coming months for the game.

How about they spend a little less time on that dlc and a little more time fixing these issues quicker

  There have been more patches than DLC’s.
  Bethesda hasn’t even announced what the DLC is going to be; not specifically anyway.

I’m over 50 hrs, save file is over 10MB and I’m having zero lag problems.

  I was the same until I got over the 70 hour mark and got close to 15MB in save files. Now all it does is lag and I can’t deal with it any more.

  I really don’t have an issue, very minor lag after hours and hours (like 8-10 hours of continuous play), god how easy it is to get immersed in this game, that 8-10 hours just fly’s by for me.

  Oh and I probably have well over 200 hours, I have 3 charactors and 4 different save files I made on my own, never the less the auto saves.

i’m 100 hours plus and the only time i ever experience lag is when i have just fast travelled and its for about 30 seconds or less when the new area loads, its weird how some people are having major lag problems and (lucky) people like me have had no real issues.
I’ve only hit 1 of the usual bethesda quest bugs as well, usually a lot more than that.

My save file is at about 13mb now, and I have about 120hrs of gameplay. Lag started not a long time before this, but turning off the autosaves seemed to fix the problem. I’m kinda glad they’re going to fix it, because I want my autosaves on just in case I fail at blocking with my Spellbreaker and some random mage decides to spam me with friggin ice storms.
