The PS3 Version Of Skyrim Still Suffering From Massive Frame Rate Issues


I’ve been playing Skyrim on 360. Partly because I’m somehow managed to inextricably become invested in achievement points, and partly because my PC is a bit rubbish. So far I’m happy with my format choice, but those playing on PS3 are apparently having some major frame-rate issues — particularly if their game save goes over 5.5MB.

A patch was released (2.01) that was apparently designed to deal with the issue but, according to Eurogamer’s Digital Foundy, the patch only helps moderately. The issue still exists in a very big way, with frame rates dropping intermittently for those with a massive time investment in the game.

Which is a shame, considering that’s almost the major selling point of the game – a consistent universe you can get lost in for hours at a time.

Those interested in the issue should definitely head over to Eurogamer for a more detailed breakdown of the issue.
