As is par for the course for the massive worlds created by Bethesda, Skyrim has not been without some serious, unforeseen issues. The 1.2 patch that went out a couple weeks ago was set to solve many of those issues, but ended up creating a whole new set of problems. Bethesda has been committed to addressing these issues in a timelier manner, and so far it looks like they are doing just that. The 1.3 patch went out for PC not too long ago, and today that patch has gone live on the Xbox 360.

This patch addresses the following issues:

General stability improvements

Optimize performance for Core 2 Duo CPUs (PC)

Fixed Radiant Story incorrectly filling certain roles

Fixed magic resistances not calculating properly

Fixed issue with placing books on bookshelves inside player purchased homes

Fixed dragon animation issues with saving and loading

Fixed Y-look input to scale correctly with framerate

Bethesda has been trying to keep a timetable where the PC patch goes out, and the consoles follow soon after. While the 360 has gone live today, there’s no word on the PS3 version in the States. The patch is available for PSN in Europe. According to the Bethesda Blog, information on the PS3 patch should be forthcoming. We’ll update when we get word. In the meantime, pour a mug of ale out in remembrance of the backwards flying dragon.
