This one is not a bug, but instead a limitation of the CPU-bound physics/shadowing implementation in the game.
If that's indeed the case, they should put a 60 FPS limit into the code itself. Why even allow players to run at more than that if it breaks the game? |

Sack up man, its fine  A save backup is all you need and takes about 3 seconds to do. Yeah I caved. I'd thought it might be a big download if I wanted to revert but apparently just disable the beta and it'll effectively run another small patch.
There's a performance improvement that's occasionally noticeable without any FPS display, though it ran great before (Ultra at 1600x1080 on a 2500K & ATI9850). Most of the fixes seem to be quests I'm not at yet. Not running any significant mods though folks seem to be saying the bigger mods are getting updates out already. |

Although I could just backup my saves, run steam backup and give it a go. Worst happens just opt out of the beta and restore the backups.

Also the combat system could use some major fixes.
The combat could always be better I suppose, but compared to Oblivion this combat system is about a trillion times superior.
I actually ENJOY fighting in Skyrim. I pretty much hated it in Oblivion. The magic system is a major improvement and I find I can actually work out tactics for fighting things.
Its not Darksiders or Prototype, but its still fun. Granted, I'm only level 16 and fighting in 3rd person...so maybe that makes a difference. When taken along with the rest of the game, I think combat in Skyrim does its job decently enough. |

Their virtual bouncer wouldn't let me in (404'd after putting in a DOB), this is the correct URL:
http://www.bethblog.com/2012/01/23/now-on-steam-beta-update-for-skyrim/
Same link as in story blurb (unless blue already updated it).
Er, yes, so it is. Maybe Blue updated it, or more likely I'm going senile. When I clicked the link, the virtual bouncer asked for my DOB and then forwarded me on to what was supposed to be that page, so I guess there was a bug in that. |

Very nice. Bethesda's support seems to improve with time rather than degrade; a welcome oddity in the PC gaming world.
^D^
Makes it easier to justify supporting a game if it's selling bazillions of copies I suppose.  |

It won't 'break' SkyUI, but some features won't work until SKSE is updated
SKSE is already updated.
I just want the creation kit so I can put a satchel on the alchemy table in Proudspire manor.
I just want the CK so I can fix that broken ass house in Windhelm. Also the combat system could use some major fixes. |

And when do we get really hi-res textures for the PC?
Talking to a dragon a few feet away makes me want to puke all over my screen.
And I'm not even mentioning the amazing 1994 Doom-style pixely enchantment table! |

I guess it helps if you compile the exe with optimizations... You took the words right out of my mouth!
I am keenly aware that one of the biggest mistakes is early optimization, but one should probably do it by the time the software is bumped to 1.0 and golden. |

Apparently this patch boosts performance so high the author of Skyboost is declaring his mod dead. Nice.
From the forum:
1) Place of test: Dragonsreach overlooking the tree (how original...)
2) Running over 1 GB of texture mods, gameplay mods, and some shadow tweaks
3) Rest are Ultra settings
vanilla 1.3 --------> 23-24 (LAME!)
SB r4_test1 ------> 35-36 (Alex, I love you man!! Please continue with SB!!)
beta 1.4 -----------> 44-45 (Oh yes, your eyes are OK)
Damn, that's impressive. (or rather, it's sad how poorly optimized Skyrim really is...)
Still, kudos to Bethesda for FINALLY realizing "Hey, if the community made a patch that actually works, maybe we should just make it official?"
That only took them 10 years to work out.
