Update: Bethesda says update 1.8 is now on Xbox Live. "When we have more information on it’s release for other territories (and the PlayStation 3), we will provide an update."

-------------------------

Original Story: Bethesda is still patching The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The latest 1.8 patch entered beta and is now available to download through Steam.

Below are the bugs being addressed in the update:

  • General memory and stability improvements
  • Fixed rare crash when using vampiric grip
  • Fixed issue where Arnleif and Sons Trading Company could become permanently locked
  • Fixed issue related to duplicate NPCs
  • Fixed rare issue where exterior door would not open properly

This update will later arrive on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Bethesda says.

    As many issues and quest-breaking glitches this game has had, it still is one of the most fascinating, immersive titles I have ever played. Then again, I didn't play it on PS3, thankfully.

    Can't wait until they fix a lot of the Dawnguard bugs.

    when the ps6 and xbox 390x690=269100 come out skyrim will still be getting patched.

    I'm not saying they didn't put a lot of work into what they DID get done, but you don't release a game in the condition skyrim is and use "oh it's a big game" as an excuse. If you're working on a game as big as this you hire more play-testers(you KNOW they noticed these bugs before release since most of them were obvious from the start.) and you take as much time and delay it for as long as you have to in order to ensure you're releasing a complete, POLISHED product. I want to make games in the future, that's what I'm going to college for and I'd rather my games never see the light of day than release one like this and say it's finished. Sorry for the block of text.

    Bethesda is squashing some bugs!

    Lol I just ran into the duplicate NPC bug. It was terrifying. First there were 2 of them, then three, then four. Then I'm off on the road heading to Windhelm, I see a man fighting a spider, I kill the spider, go to talk the NPC. IT'S THE SAME GUY!!!

    Arnleif and Sons Trading Company is permanently locked on one of my character saves. I was wondering why but now I know that it's a bug. Thanks Bethesda. Keep up the good work.

    I hate how people always give hate on bethesda for not fixing all the bugs I mean a game that big takes more than 3 years to make without all the fixes, if you want them to come out iwth a bug free game then it would take alot longer so give bethesda some credit for creating one of the biggest open world games out there
