The new update for the PS3 at first seemed to clear up frame rate issues I have had, but as I kept playing I noticed at times it was worse than before and almost unplayable. They better make more updates to prolong good gameplay at later parts because I am not even a level 25 yet. Plus, I want the downloadable content so if they want more money it better be fixed. Any other PS3 players notice an improvement or not after the download?

The game runs fine now for me after the update (lvl 48) but I did notice a big downgrade in graphics. Lighting is a lot duller and water looks very ugly at a distance.

All they needed to fix was to clean up the savegame data (my save is 12mb with month old corpses still lying around), delete old corpses and don't remember every little thing you knocked over. It seems they only set the detail level to low and hope for the best.

You are joking? Already prepatched PS3 version looked somewhat bad, and they made it even worse?

What the hell. The patch is joke - fixed one thing broken 3 more....

I wonder if they actually fixed anything... Just had to quit again due to the game getting completely unresponsive again in Solitude. Less then 1 fps. Before that I was putting items away on the manequin in my house in Solitude, manequin went invisible. Put books on the bookshelf, bookshelf won't work anymore, books disappeared.

I managed to finish the thief guild quest line by a hair. The resistances bug made it almost impossible to get through 1 of the rooms on the final quest where you get spammed by magic attacks. Dead before you can count to 3. Greater ward did nothing, potions nothing, my 80% magic resistances ignored. Only spamming fast heal and running like hell worked. Used up my entire 600 magicka bar even with the vastly reduced cost I can cast fast healing at. The difficulty is totally inconsistent now.

After a fresh restart I can walk for maybe an hour before it gets choppy again.

Meanwhile I started a new char, see how far I can get in the main quest while staying lvl 1. Apart from having to run from a frost troll it's all very easy. Draugr death lords that can now 2 hit kill my lvl 51 char, are easily dispatched by my lvl 1 char with a crap bow. World levelling is awesome...

Oh well it's still fun to play when it works. Couple more days and I should pass my Oblivion play time.

Edit: next glitch. ps3 is currently checking and restoring the filesystem after the game locked up again and I had to shut the ps3 down with the power button. Is that standard since 4.00 or did something go badly wrong?

It happened after I had to walk back to Solitude since the "you cannot wait/fast travel when guards are after you" message would not go away even though I was far beyond Morthal already. The guards were paitently waiting outside Solitude for me to come back... I get the option, I'm with the guild look the other way 600 ish gold, pay of fine 40 gold, WTF? -> so I pay of the fine it loads and puts me back into Solitude, then I pull up the map and the game locks up.

Solitude is a pain in the ass.
