2.01? How is this at patch numbers >2.0 just over two weeks after release?

That's true.
That was a false patch to add DRM and negate a crucial fix that the PC community implemented. Bethesda disabled that.
This is going to be on ongoing thing for patches to come. Big games like this with tons of stacked quests will have random bugs. It just works that way unfortunately. Unless the game is in bug testing for 6 months solid .
Bethesda cares about their broken game after all.
We do this on PC so don't worry. Except on PC you can turn off more minute things to add increments to the FR which is why the PC is that great.
Every game does a version check at launch. Your location and the account your logged into is irrelevant, it checks the Title ID. If you didn't get a prompt to download when launching the game it most likely means the US patch isn't up yet. You have to wait till SCEA releases it.

Oh from having a crap PC I absolutely know this. Most PC games I end up playing at 1024x768 or 800x600 with absolute minimum graphics and even DX8 mode if it's available. Hell, I even played through Portal at 640x480 on minimum settings (except for being able to see into the next portal) just so I could get an average fps of just over 30.
That description is referring to network and input lag.

I really hope this is up on NA PSN by this afternoon, or tomorrow morning at the latest.
My game became completely unplayable Friday or so, when the stuttering was happening in dungeons, too.
So with the drop in save file sizes, does this patch reduce the time in which object position is reset, and dead bodies are cleared from the world?

They all have issues but we better be seeing that PC patch today or tomorrow. There are just as many bugs and quite a few unique ones on PC only. My main gripes are all technical right now- Un-optimized CPU/GPU scaling and RAM, grid loading or just better/smarter streaming, audio being broken, then the rest of the normal stuff like quests and such.
If I can get gains from Catalyst 11.11a/b of about the advertised 2-7% then I don't see any reason why Bethesda couldn't do the same.
I didn't notice any lower texture, but I had lots of problems with not loading textures before the patch. And now it seems like the textures actually load for me. So if anything the game looks lots better now!
Huh did they remove it? I got it hours ago.

I think it's placebo. The game is basically the same but less glitches now. For the record, PC texture pop in happens on PC too.
It's really funny since this has only happened for the last 10 hours and it's increased. Not every area but if I can start counting, then it's too much.

Patch 2.0 was the first day patch here in Europe.
Oh yes, much much better.
what? i still got nothing here :X
Happy the patch was put out so soon, hopefully PS3 players can enjoy one of the best games this year. =)
The severity of the bug probably placed the patch in high priority on Sony's cert process.
This really isn't the thread for this dude, there's a console performance thread for a reason. No need to be pissing other people's parade.
I'm curious to know if they really did sacrifice any texture detail.
BF3 had a 196MB patch IIRC, so I'm not so sure this applies.

Yeah that probably it. I never expected Bethesta to release a patch and just seeing the framerate get better makes you see everything in a different light.
Hrmm...I hope it will get that
quest with getting Roggvir's sister to go back to temple
Patch installed. Seems fine. Can't say if stuttering is gone as i'd never reached that far into the game. Texture downgrade as a few have mentioned looks bolloks, seems no different and as a few have pointed out, texture loading "seems" to be improved. Overall framerate again....hard to say withought going back and forth between 2.00

It could, but they won't bother.

I just installed the patch and walked around some towns and open areas, and the massive lag that made the game unplayable is gone. Back to my main character...

Good to hear, as we were having the same issues. Hopefully it hits the US in a few days.

wish they would release notes describing what exactly is being done to fix this. Maybe on Beyond3D or something?
Would love to know

Exactly. What the hell happened to patch notes! Console or not, it would be interesting to see the list of bug fixes and maybe some candid writings on how they fixed them.
That's sad.

Did they fix that house in Whiterun you can't get into after the Battle of Whiterun. I have to steal something out of there damnit!

Just played for one hour, and there is still a minor slowdown in Whiterun for me (worst offender before), but its not nearly as bad as before. Patch definitely helped. Might get worse in 1 or 2 hours again, but its definitely an improvement. Launch Ps3 here.

Well I have an 80gb BC-free model so hopefully it does something. I quit to the xmb every hour it seems.
