2 solutions to the PS3 Skyrim lag bug!

1. Format your HDD. I always said if you format your HDD you wont have this problem. Now it's confirmed bylegol1 and Atarikidx that this works.

ok listen everyone if you want good framerate on the ps3 version of skyrim its very simple , since this game relly heavily on streaming you must install skyrim on a defragmented hard drive ,the best wayto do this is to backup everything on a usb key and reformat the hard drive. i am 95 hours in the game and i have no problem at all . i hope it help .

and yes i am still ticked off they stuck that crappy area reset in my 360 version when it didn't need it.

all my dragon skellys, all the jarls food i kicked into the floor, all the bodies, the gourd i placed on the queen of solitudes throne all gone.

(to be fair the gourd may have been something else, she had a funny look on her face last time i saw her.)

Well, MS and Sony have been trying to make a PC out of thier consoles, is nice to know that they have made progress, now they are only 20 years behind.

At this point I'd say that's doubtful. 128 hours on the 360 and haven't experienced the PS3's problem.

Now I'm no Gordon E. Moore, but how exactly is defragging your HDD supposed to fix an issue chiefly caused by large save files and the PS3's limited RAM pool?

That is so sad.

So much for the pop in and play argument console gamers used. Consoles have become ghetto pcs.

I'm geussing this is the time where the Skyrim hype dies down ? :P haha

Considering the problem is with the size of the save file I don't see how reloading the game will fix the problem. The only way to fix the size is take stuff out of the game. Best thing a PS3 player can do is don't move stuff in the game. Keep inventory very small.

Thats just a bunch of DC I spend most of my gaming time on my ps3 but Skyrim became unplayable for me in about 17hours so I took it back and got it for 360 and haven't had a problem

AtariKidX would not be my most trusted source for information about a Sony product.Cherokee_Jack

What a joke. Bethesda shouldnt have released a broken game on PS3. I seriously dont understand how they get away with this crap. People rant and rave about COD and Activision, yet Bethesda releases a broken version of their game and everyone points the finger at Sony? Gimmie a break. carljohnson3456

[QUOTE="AtariKidX"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] Thanks great tip. It's a little annoying maybe but it's worth it to have a stable framerate. themajormayor

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="delta3074"]you realise that skyrim has a higher and more stable framertae on the 360 right? you understand that is the reason for the screen tearing on the 360 version of skyrim right? you DO understand how v-sync works right? let me explain, with v-sync on to prevent screen tearing you get a clipped framrate,with v-sync off (screen tearing) you get a higher more stable framerate, you also realise that one of the 'minor' differences between most multiplats is that the 360 usually has a higher and more stable framerate right? of course you don't, stupid question.delta3074

If you want a real solution here's what you have to do.

1. don't steal anything

2. don't pick anything up

3. don't move anything

4. don't kill anything

And you'll be fine.
