Skyrim Multi-Monitor User Interface Fix Discussion

THIS GAME HAS CAUSED ME MORE GRIEF THAN ANYTHING ELSE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED IN VIDEO GAMING.
No Crossfire, then AMD releases a patch that is supposed to provide scaling for 6xxx cards in crossfire. I have dual 6870's BUT I GET NEGATIVE SCALING, 24 fps + mega microstutter in whiterun vs over 30 with single card.
I got over that and decided one card could do the trick for now, and then I sit down to play and BETHESDA HAS F%#@ED IT UP.
I want my money back so I can buy a game that ACTUALLY WORKS.

So it looks like it'll be back to mining veldspar on 3 screens?

LoL, Yes, I believe I will.

Anyhow, There are some 1.1 Installs floating about on the net. Will try fixing it like that

Yup, 1.2 screwed up Hayden's fix for me as well. CTD as soon as Skyrim tries to load. Tried the 1.1 TESV.exe and I'm having the same problems as everyone else. Fast travel doesn't work and the menus are screwed up (read a book and couldn't get out of the book screen, had to hit ESC and quit to the main menu).

Rage.

Hey Guys,

Check out this link if you want to fully revert back to version 1.1 (Windows 7 users only)

Revert back to Version 1.1 (Win 7 only)

Also I think its time that we raid the Bethesda forum again and keep bumping the eyefinity/surround thread so it's in the moderators view.

I understand it's a longshot at this point to get a developer off their a$$ to get something implemented and patched but I think there's enough users in this forum to help make a difference.

Edit: Almost forgot to Thank all the users in this forum that have helped make triple gaming possible for Skyrim (Hayden, Helifax, Thales, and others). I look forward to your new updates :)

Thanks guys,

Does that revert to 1.1 guide do anything at all for those of us who already started up Steam?

Since Steam doesn't actually listen when you tell it not to autoupdate...

God damn Bethesda.

boink · Post by **boink** » 01 Dec 2011, 01:43

well well, How surprising...

son of a...

I've been playing Skyward Sword for days, and just now decided "let's enjoy some Skyrim for a bit!" Launch Steam, and instantly see Skyrim updating. son of a... I specifically told it not to autoupdate that game! Steam and Bethesda both are really getting on my nerves.

Anyways, I suppose I will continue playing Skyward Sword instead of bothering with Skyrim until I see a fix from you, Hayden. Sorry that you have to work on this so much, but I appreciate immensely. I'll be tossing more donations to you.

And the people shall remember you only as "Hero."

so win 7 isnt showing any previous version for me...

Is there anyplace I can download the 1.1 version of the game?
or atleast the relevant game files that were changed in 1.2?

Are you sure you clicked on your Skyrim folder? It was in Program Files (x86)/Steam/steampps/common ?

Worked for me, now to see if the 4GB patch with HaYDeN's fix works again.

boink · Post by **boink** » 01 Dec 2011, 02:12

Not everyone has 'Previous Versions' cranked on for all locations. I included, I have previous generations turned off. I do however have my entire steam folder backed up on my NAS, but I believe it was the straight 1.0 version. Ugh. I'd rather just keep posting and emailing bethesda while I wait for Hayden or Halifax to do bethesda's job.

EDIT: if you want to turn Previous Generations on, right click on 'Computer' > 'Properties' > 'Advanced system settings' > 'System Protection' > 'Configure...' next to Configure restore settings... > mark the radio button 'Restore system settings and previous versions of files'

Bummer.

Seems to work just fine, so I lucked out. But now I have to stay in Offline mode until the fallout has cleared...get it? Fallout? |(

I am seeing the same thing as everyone else.

CTD on start with 0.3, 0.4A, & 0.4B.

Hate to say it but again we fall back to HaYDeN to save us from the awful menus.

My rig running HaYDeN 0.4A with 1.1:

I set my game to "do not automatically update this game" and it didn't and hasn't. Everything still runs and works as it did.

You know whats really funny? I have a buddy that runs 1 monitor, 1680x1050 (probably the most common display resolution), and 1 GFX card, gtx560 (also mainstream) and he pm'd me saying that now whenever he tries to start Skyrim the game launches to the black start menu with the dragon emblem, he clicks on Continue and the game minimizes and then relaunches back to the start menu and he said its an endless loop.

GG Bethesda, breaking the game for your core PC audience, let alone us...

I'm just glad my game didn't update.

Oh Bethesda just what are you playing at.

Anyone would think they were sabotaging the efforts of the modding community deliberately. But that can't possibly be true because that implies that the actually give a dam.

When will they realises that you have to work with and not against your customers. Time for us to shake things up a bit. Here is the link to the their contact us page.

http://www.bethsoft.com/eng/contact_email.php

Select " customer services" and lets start spamming. Everyone on this forum should send one message each day until such time they either fix the game or allow us to do so.

I'm on about email number 5 with them. Every time I get a canned response back about making sure my drivers are updated, to verify my cache, etc etc. Thanks for reading my emails, I can feel the love for your customers. Last $60 I spend with Bethesda.

Most annoyingly, I had set mine to not automatically update. I checked multiple times to make sure it was turned on. Updated anyways. Great work, steam.

EDIT (just so I don't make a third post): you can post on their blog as well: http://www.bethblog.com/index.php/2011/11/30/skyrim-1-2-update/

Its not hard to imagine the turmoil inside the company. It was either a breakdown of their QA/release process, or insidious bugs introduced by rushed code, not fully tested.

I guarantee they have probably already figured out the guy responsible for breaking it and his days are probably numbered if he is not already gone. Game shops don't take care of their developers. And its probably not even his fault. His manager was cracking the whip, he was the only one to step up, and now he's as good as dead.
