    I noticed some of the old save games from previous versions wouldn't load. before you go and delete them, I found I could get them to load if i started the game and loaded a save that WOULD load and loaded that save game. I then choose load again then went to an old save that would get stuck at the "smoky" part of the loading screen. The old save would load for me then if I already had the game running. I then would save over the top so that next time I started the game I could load the new save of the old save without having to load a post 1.2 save first. details...

    -start Skyrim
    -load a save that does work
    -after that save loads, open up the menu and choose load a save that would get stuck at the smoky part of the loading screen.
    -that save should now load.
    -with the previously unloadable save running, make a save over the top of it to make it compatible.
    -now when you choose to load the old save, you don't have to load another save first.

    basically, load another save game first. for some reason, some of my old saves would just get stuck at the smoky part and not load. either steam or bethesda's fault....

    guys just google skyrim rollback fix, and download from softpedia



    If you have Windows 7 you don't need to download anything,

    First, disable automatic updates in Steam, or put steam in offline mode
    Navigate to your Skyrim installation folder, most likely in c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\
    Make a backup of your Skyrim folder by copy/pasting it to a safe place
    Right click on the original Skyrim folder and choose Properties from the menu
    Click on the Previous Versions tab
    Find a version from before the 11-30 update and either copy/paste it over your original Skyrim folder, or copy/paste the two updated files (TESV.exe and Data\Skyrim - Interface.bsa) from the previous version into the original folder

    Steam doesn't care which version of the .exe you're running if updates are disabled. Personally I am rolled back to the release version so that I can make use of the extra RAM my 64 bit system has available without the need for a third party .exe

    This stupid patch makes the game unplayable or unenjoyable atleast. =>I can't pick up anything up from dead enemies at all! Is this fixable or do I have to wait for next patch?

    That's why you need to offline Steam.


    It was offlined. Now its firewall blocked as well so it can't happen again.

    Just to be fair: It´s not Steams fault if Bethesda messes up!
    Only thing you can bless Steam for once in a while is Steam is not available at the moment... but that´s about it.

    This crap we are having right now, i clearly Bethesdas fault. Never thought i would put these developers on my personal Watch out!-list...
