Ya whenever I play it on my brothers ps3, the screen will go completely black then go back to the ps3 main menu. Does it after and before the patch. The game is a big P.O.S.

did you installed firmware 4.00? is this a slim ps3 and how much gb your hard drive?

you could reinstall the game by deleting game data utility of skyrim after installing the firmware 4.00.it's all i can say

i'm super satisfied with skyrim the way it is.devs are going to realease a patch 1.03 for lagging problem and they will do it for sure.i think skyrim is a great game.i'm beta testing it right now.unfortunatly i don't have a possible solution and i have some difficulty to test the lag on skyrim....

the lag seem to happen when staying and running in town.there are some data that we don't need in to ps3's memory.

also i've been asking myself,how about the data in and out of the data hard drive open and the share of data from ps3 memory and hard drive.this is something the devs most investigate.unfortunatly i'm a ex hot basic programmer and my dream when i was 15 years old were to learn private course of assembler programming.unfortunatly the life have taken me to an other path.

i have not enough money to go in school.maybe later cuz assembler language is a great langague for programming

tell me your firmware version,your hard drive ps3,your save game files size please.

if you experiencing lag issue tell me what do you think about the lag,when it appear.how long you play the game...

if you have ,in the pass,do some programming in visual basic,c++,basic,assembler or other you are welcome to tell me what do you think of that lags issues.

thx

waiting in town is not so bad if you put the hardrive to sleep mode from pressing start button on the quests log/stats/system board.playing 12 hours in line visiting 5-8 dungeon+going into 3-5 town by fast traveling and traveling the whole town each towns.yes the ps3 memory can't take some of the extra non-needed information in and out and THIS will begin to lag a lot

that work for the first 60 hours of playing...after that you will catch up with the lag issue anyway

mine was starting to lag a little bit but i know why it is lagging...

i'm a hot ex basic programmer and i used to debug my own game.compress the engine cuz not enough memory(128k).stock death data on disk 5''1/4...so on...

i tought that the game skyrim are so big and have so much information and data that it lag because of that.i have 20 gem with soul on them.40 different potion.i think the lag will be better when i will do free space on my backpack.i'm trying to take everything in dungeon cuz this is also a source of binary information.exemple a barel empty,the value of a variable is 0000 in binary coding or assembler coding.

don't forget that every dungeon you enter,the game save file will be bigger cuz it's a source of information and new data for the game.so on....

when playing i only looking how the game feel and why it lagging.i think the cache and the memory of ps3 is not enough higher to contain to much information.it is why poeple say that the turn off their ps3 to give a break.

the ps3 do not need break but memory refresh.i just hope bethesda will do something for the game.

damn i can't copy any link here.but it's what i have read:

Bethesda has updated its development blog, documenting the ongoing battle with Skyrim's PS3 lag problems. The news is... mixed.

"While the 1.2 update fixed the long-term play issues for most PS3 users, we are aware that is not the case for some," said the blog post."We've been reaching out to a number of those users to collect save games, so we can take a look at their specific issues."

Worryingly, the circumstances leading to the issue are not down to one cause. "Right now we know it's not one thing, but a combination of smaller ones that some folks are seeing, but others are not.

"Some seem to be the PS3 autosaving in the background (you can turn that off), some may be SPU AI updates, and some may relate to dynamic system memory allocation."

Unfortunately, there's not going to be a quick fix, either. "These fixes are not in the current 1.3 update that is in final testing, but will be in future ones. We understand how frustrating it can be when your game is having issues, and we thank all of you for your continued feedback and patience.

"Rest assured we take your gameplay experience seriously and will continue working on this until it's resolved."

this is my toughts.the save game files that become more higher and higher,they corupt the data drive.solution,restore your corupted hard drive on your ps3 with the 2 bibs start up.delete the utility game file(not your game save files),reinstall the game and the patch and maybe this will remove the bad lag issues.

if in the first case the game freeze a couple of time let go,the patch 1.02 or the last sony firmware will solve this automaticly

it's sad to hear this.i sympatise with you tough.i'M thinking like you,if i have problem with skyrim when i will play it i'll trade it and bethesda will be banned on my black list like codemaster is near to be in my black list for releasing a patch 1.02 on f1 2011 and now we have full of bugs.we need another patch for this one or i'll ban codemaster from list wish list.

blizzard entertainement is in my black list for now

forget it i've downloaded it from the net:)
