Skyrim patch 1.2 out today on PlayStation 3, Wednesday for 360 and PC
PlayStation 3 users have been reporting severe performance issues with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim ever since launch, including a particularly nasty one that saw the game slow down to a crawl after extended periods of play, making it borderline unplayable.
Fortunately, it looks like relief is on the way as Bethesda announced today they’ve begun rolling out Skyrim patch 1.2 on PlayStation 3. A release on Xbox 360 and PC is expected to follow a few days later on Wednesday.
In addition to fixing the performance degradation for the PlayStation 3 version, the patch also adds in a few fixes specific to Xbox 360 and PC, including the texture glitch when installed on an Xbox 360, as well as a few general fixes across all platforms.
