Bethesda ‘Yo Dawg’ Skyrim Patch with Patch

Skyrim: Special Edition has been with us a few weeks now, and Bethesda has been doing a pretty decent job of patching things up in a timely fashion too. While the PC version did launch with heavily compressed audio, something that I hated given I game from a DAC and headphones, Bethesda soon had that patched up and in-line with the high-end audio heard on the PS4 release.

Unfortunately, it looks like the last patch caused a few bonus problems, but Bethesda has already fired out another patch to address these.

“The update provides fixes addressing noted concerns.” said Bethesda

Patch 1.2 Release Notes

• General stability and performance improvements
• Fixed issue related to using alt-tab while playing the game (PC)
• Fixed issue with water flow not rendering properly
• Fixed crash related to changing from werewolf back to human form
• Fixed crash related to reloading after changing Load Order of mods
• General bug fixing and improvements with browsing Mods

These follow on from the previous patch, see below:

• General performance and optimisation improvements.
• Fixed rare issue with NPCs not appearing in proper locations.
• Fixed issue with saves erroneously being marked as modded, even though no mods are active.
• Updated some sound files to not use compression.

To update to the new 1.2 release, you will need to right-click the game in Steam and enable the beta downloads, unless you want to hold out and see if they need to patch this patch too, you never know!
