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!
