    @SynthPotato the issues with Starfield and Creation Engine was that *everything* was treated the same way interior spaces are treated in Fallout and Elder Scrolls. I have way less of an issue with loading screens when theres a full open map to walk around in between.

    Yesterday, Bethesda broke modded versions The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (2016) by releasing a new update that enhances mod support for consoles on Steam. The purpose of this is no doubt to increase that sweet, sweet paid mod revenue where they get to keep around 70% of every sale while they continue work on their next game, presumably thanks to the leak of the name The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel creating additional buzz and bringing new and old players back to Skyrim. Anyone who is using SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender) supported mods who has gone through this before already understands what a pain it is to deal with these updates. First, SKSE must be updated to support the new Skyrim binary. Next, all mods that depend on SKSE to work must also update their mods for the new version of SKSE. This process tends to take months. In the meantime, heavily modded games cannot be started and attempting to launch them generates an error similar to this one I got yesterday evening. So the next best workaround is to use Steam to downgrade Skyrim to the working version. I have seen a third party app out there by the name of Reliquary that purports to do this for your automatically, however it requires you to enter your Steam credentials which is a great way to get your account hacked. It is much safer to do this manually. These are the steps I followed to do so: 1) Right-click on Skyrim SE in the Steam Library pane, select Properties. Under Updates, change Automatic Updates to "Wait until I launch the game". 2) Exit Steam so that the application is completely closed, no longer in the taskbar. 3) Open a command prompt or terminal and launch Steam with the -console tag. If on Windows it may first be necessary to navigate to the Program Files folder with the Steam executable. Alternately you can modify the shortcut and add the -console tag there before launching the game. 4) The newly launched Steam window should now have a new column labeled Console. It is a blank window with a small form textbox to allow entering commands. 5) Type the following commands, one at a time: download_depot 489830 489831 8442952117333549665 download_depot 489830 489832 8042843504692938467 download_depot 489830 489833 1914580699073641964 6) Wait for each command to complete the download, which can take several minutes. Once finished, the console window should tell you where the files where downloaded, such as in my case (linux desktop): ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/content/app_489830/ 7) Go to each folder listed in the console and copy the contents to your Steam Skyrim installation. If you're not sure where Skyrim is installed, you can use Steam to open it. First switch to Library, then right-click on the game in the left column and select Manage, then select Browse Local Files. 8) To prevent Steam from automatically upgrading the game again, make the file "appmanifest_489830.acf" read-only. This file can be found in the "Steam/steamapps" folder. 9) To be extra-safe, only launch Skyrim SE via your mod manager or by using the skse_launcher.exe included with SKSE.

    @JamieMoranUK They do cost more you're absolutely right but there are some successful live service games out there Just look at Bethesda and how long they've done Fallout 76 An elder scrolls Online those games have a ton of players Sea of Thieves did at one point I'm not sure what it is now

    @NOTimothyLottes Ratchet and Clank is the only modern Sony game that interests me, none of what they're doing these days is attractive which is mostly GoW and Spiderman and a billion live service flop... My taste is largely fulfilled by XBOX which is RPGs like Starfield, Avowed, OW2, Clockwork Revolution, and hopefully a frickin Elder Scrolls game soon

    @Hybrid508 @RinoTheBouncer Nah **** that. I Grew up playing Spider-Man games on other platforms. Didn't stop Sony from worming their way to Spider-Man exclusivity by leveraging the MCU rights. -Spyro -Crash Bandicoot -Fallout -Elder Scrolls -Banjo-Kazooie Should all go exclusive. Sony set the precedent

    @Grummz Yep. CDPR have caused problems for Rockstar with Cyberpunk and Bethesda with Witcher 3. I think it's why GTA 6 and Elder Scrolls 6 have taken SO long. The developers don't know where to go with their franchises. Lack of innovation.

    Xbox doesn't have an exclusives problem. I think it has a trust problem. After years of “play anywhere,” what does bringing back console exclusives actually mean for Xbox's future? And if Fallout 5 or Elder Scrolls VI were Xbox exclusives… would you buy one? 🎮 What do you think?

    @TESOnline How about fixing the exploits and glitches ruining PvP? You are losing players. I know it’s an old game but you still want your money every month on time. It’s impossible to fight a group of cheaters using the armory glitch to acquire every mundus stone in the game. Shame

    Some people are all talk well, I put my money where my mouth is as it pertains to Sony #Playstation There are a number of factors that led up to this. It's clear that Sony doesn't give two 💩 about their customers. Sony should be on alert however because their arrogance could backfire from a business perspective longer term. They think we don't have options but what have they really done this gen? - They chased live service and it failed miserably. - Concord? failure - Marathon...not the success they wanted it to be resulting in major layoffs at Bungie - Bluepoint games? Gone - They could have been working on a Days Gone sequel but no. - Wasted 3 years of Naughty Dog development time on a Last of Us MP and then cancelled it. - Horizon series MP - who asked for this? - Relied on remasters to compensate for the lack of first party releases - Started pulling digital movies from their stores and customers lost access - Announced no more physical discs by 2028, meanwhile while quietly shrinking available physical inventory in the market. I could go on and on... Look if Playstation is your ecosystem, that's great! I will never, ever criticize someone for their gaming tastes and what works for them. But you can't possibly defend any of the above and you can't really question why people are disenfranchised not only by Sony but the industry in general. So, I'm going retro and with XBOX for my ecosystem. I love how they have play anywhere, backwards compatbility, rewards, cheevos, etc... I'm a fan of Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Gears so it's more of a fit for me. Yet, Last of Us and Marvel's Spider-Man are two of my fav game series but I can still play those on PC so...there ya go! I always say, my decision and desire to express my decision should be inconsequential to you. End o' story. Peace, Dirk @xbox #xbox

    @HazzadorGamin @JezCorden problem with ips like fallout and elder scrolls is if they make it console exclusive it will kill the games sales as those games sell so well because its on literally everything.

  • FinalBoss_io
    FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported

    “The roadmap is unaffected” lands a little differently when 3,200 people just disappeared from the larger machine around it. Maybe Elder Scrolls 6 really is still on track. Maybe Oblivion Remastered still makes its Switch 2 window. But players have heard this line enough times to know what it usually means: the plan on paper survived. Whether the capacity survived is a different question. That’s the trust problem with studio reassurance after layoffs. Not that every statement is a lie. That a roadmap is only as real as the team, time, and priorities still standing behind it. A game doesn’t get delayed because the PR wording was off. It gets delayed because fewer people are left to do the work. “Roadmap intact” is nice. Show us the shipped game.

    @kidthewiiz @NikTek Is there no way to middle ground it for something like Elder Scrolls 6 to fix their city population issues that people complained about in Skyrim? Have your run of the mi interactable NPC count and backfill with these shallow NPCs?

  • ag_gobby
    Gobby (@ag_gobby) reported

    It’s a Nexus-created problem (at least for Elder Scrolls). Modding IS complicated because of possessive mod authors. If something has dependencies or conflicts, mod packs are still prohibited so the user must spend hours resolving it. This was discouraged pre-Nexus **********.

    @bethesda Dear ZeniMax Online Studios / The Elder Scrolls® Online Support Team, I am requesting that my account be temporarily disabled to protect against potential theft. However, despite providing all necessary documentation (invoices/purchase receipts, answers to questions, and my personal information) definitively proving my ownership of the account, the lack of concrete action for days has become unacceptable. Your disregard for security protocols, the prolonged delay despite providing all necessary proof of ownership, and the lack of a satisfactory response are causing significant difficulties. As a player and customer, the continued unfair blocking of my account completely contradicts your understanding of customer satisfaction and service quality. My account is now secure and my hosting is fully verified, therefore there is no longer a valid excuse for this delay. My request is clear: I demand the DEHAL of the block on my account and the uninterrupted restoration of access. Otherwise, if my complaint continues, I will be forced to pursue this matter through customer rights courts and higher authorities. I would also like to state that I expect an urgent disruption to my file due to recent support issues and the events that transpired on the same day. I request to participate in the necessary competition.

    @lastchalice @XBOXTIMDOG And that's exactly why Xbox should make Elder Scrolls and other non-live service games full exclusives. If they go all in like the 360 era, Sony is cooked with their 1sr party network in shambles, most 3rd parties going full multiplatform and player trust dissolved.

    @JBishie They need to fix that storefront before they expect pc players to use it. Even still, when games were exclusive to EGS, PC players would just skip them, saying “no steam no buy”. They may grab the latest Elder Scrolls, but most PC players will skip Xbox games if this is true.

    @Opethftw @pcgamer Got you talking about it 9 years later. The dev team of 76 is a studio that works specifically on live service games. It’s not people in bgs that could be working on the next elder scrolls or fallout.
