Buttercup Camera 229 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I dunno if Skyrim was like this before, but I only started to notice this now. Skyrim is an amazing game, never had so much fun playing a game in my life like this, but it's SO BAD optimized for the consoles and the patches did it worst! The Loading Screens take years to load, even with the Auto-Saves off and stuff! The games lag time to time... But it has been years since ir froze, thank god. The major problem are the shadows... I mean, they used to look good, then a bit blocky but okay... but now... they're awful! AWFUL! They moive by itself, they are really blocky... when I'm next to a light I only see square spots on my characters and that's so frustrating and annoying! I've seen older videos of Skyrim and the shadows looked so good... nothing like what's happening now! They seem to be completely still and then move a little then stop. Its like the sun in Skyrim moves across the sky in stages rather than constant moving. Is there a way I can fix this?! P.S - It's for the PS3....

Saber Lily 1,543 Posted January 22, 2014 Is this PC Skyrim? If so, your slave could be bloated and IDK how to fix that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already have all of the trophies, including the DLC trophies, but I can't stop playing it. I made another game and realize how glitchy it is and how SLLOOOWWW the loading times were. I play on the PS3 and I never had too many problems with it until now. It freezes a lot, glitches everywhere, shadows, and really long loading times. I don't know what happened, but I notice it too.

Hardrada 117 Posted January 23, 2014 The ps3 version was well known to be the most poorly optimized version; to the point of being unplayable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
