I haven't noticed resistances not working on the PS3 version.

I like the game a lot but this is pretty annoying, that's why I save so often, the difficulty is uneven at times. Everything could be going well, next thing you know your dead.
Me too. I was super hyped and was really enjoying it. But there are just too many good games for me to spend time on this buggy mess. I haven't played it in over a week. Didn't even bother to get the new patch after I read some of the comments on how it doesn't fix it in this thread.
Now there are even more bugs. I'm done with this game. It will be the first game in like 20 years of gaming that I trade in. As much as I enjoyed Morrowind and Oblivion, I may just be done with Bethesda.
My standards are higher and my time more limited now. I don't have the time or the drive to put up with unfinished products.
I'm sure I'm going to miss out or whatever, but it's not like there's a shortage of good games that'll take up my gaming time.

picked up a copy hearing the save bug was improved to the point I will probably not notice it.
Now I see the patch caused a bunch more problems.
God damn Bethesda I want to play your stupid game. STOP BREAKING IT!

They don't, your atronarchs die if you hit them with their own element.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
That's a clever test... I was wondering how I might test it out and never thought of that.

Man really glad I decided to hold off on buying this. Built up a black friday backlog of all the releases I missed this year. Will hit this next year.

The patch improved the framerate significantly for me. My savegame was around 13MB and went down to 11MB post patch and I can wander around the main cities without it resorting to a slideshow. It's not perfect by any means, but at least it's an improvement.
It's definitely hard locking on loading screens far more often though. 2 steps forward 1 back I guess.

Yea, been holding off on playing too far into my copy since launch for the 360 texture bug to fix via patch. Now I have to unplug my console to avoid downloading this new broken patch just to play??
Trading my copy in. I'll snag the inevitable GotY edition next year that hopefully gets this shit sorted out.

Bethesda gonna fix the patch with another patch soon.

Jesus Christ. This is ridiculous. I had little to no complaints about the PS3 version before the patch, but now my framerate is fucked. And now as I'm typing this, I'm going into about 10 mins on a load screen. Model is still rotateable, facts are still being presented, but the game refuses to continue.
Brutal that all versions are borked now one way or another. Came across like 3 backwards flying dragons today and couldnt get a single one to attack me. They'd start flying normally then hover and zip backwards across the screen at mach 1. Whenever I get close the same fucking thing happens. How the hell do I get them to fight me now? Anyone else come across this?

Framerate in dungeons are getting pretty bad after this patch, feels like the 20's.
eurogamer always putting out another quality article, shows the very slight improvement from the 2.01 patch. Watch 2nd Video

someone was suggesting that bethesda disable triple buffering since that would free up a few megs of video memory.

This is not the impression I've been getting.

My policy on Bethesda releases is to wait for a GotY version, so I get DLC for free along the inevitable patches that actually make the game playable. Working great since Morrowind.
Probably fixed for those who don't play for more than 4 hours at a time, because mine craps out at around 5. :/

Well, they at least seem serious about fixing it. Who knows if they actually will, but at least they're not ignoring the issue like they seem to have been doing with the last couple of games.

Yep, most dragons I can't fight anymore, and resistances are fucked. Ice mages kill me in 1-2 shots now. I can be doing fine fighting a bunch of mage type enemies but if there's an ice one in there I'm fucked. I was having fun playing on Master difficulty prior to the patch. Now it's just way too frustrating to play.
I really wanted this game. But with the unpatchable issue for the PS3, can't justify spending the money.
Only way I'll buy it if Bethesda makes a statement that they are going to actually fix the cause, not just try to patch it, and the game gets a rerelease. And of course, I would hope they'd have a replacement program for those who have already bought the game.
However, we have a better chance of the world ending next December than this happening.

They are just going to say 1.2 fixed the PS3 issues and stick to it no matter what.

Same people who said the issue was fixed long ago, what they forget to include it with release? Sorry but I don't believe anything they say at this point, I hope I'm wrong though. I don't believe it fixed most users, or even any that have played long enough. They'll go for low hanging fruit to act like they care (turn off autosave lol) but they won't tackle the big sucker all the way at the top.
Well, that's promising at least that Bethesda is still trying their best to fix the problem. But if the problem is because of how the game engine interacts with the PS3 (which is what I have heard), the only way to fix it would have to rewrite how the engine works with the PS3. And I don't see that happening with a patch.
what I don't get it how they weren't aware of the problem in the first place. Didn't they test the product? If so, then I don't see how this isn't a case of simple fraud.
"While the 1.2 update fixed the long-term play issues for most PS3 users, we are aware that is not the case for some."

Considering previous Bethesda titles on PS3? Not so likely. Getting a refund from a retailer is problematic at best, but you might get lucky with a generous manager.

Understatement of the year?
Class action lawsuits apparently help, I mean it worked for PS3 owners of BF3.

Hey all. Found a potential ps3 stuttering solution. Makes sense when you think about it:

Restart the game every 40 minutes? I'd hardly call that a good solution.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
It used to take a week or so, but Infinity Ward has been pushing out MW3 title updates almost immediately after they're completed lately. I don't know if that means the process can be expedited, or if they have some sort of special clearance. I guess we'll have to see how long this one takes.
