The long awaited patch for Skyrim was promised to be released on November 28th for the consoles but PC gamers are getting a new patch until then. Patch 1.2 is slated for release on Thanksgiving and promises to feature new and major features. This new PC patch basically updates the game’s executable file and we should warn everyone that Skyrim won’t be compatible with the LAA fix – a mod to use more than 2GB of RAM – after applying this patch. Thankfully, all other mods and .ini tweaks are unaffected by this update.
This new patch for Skyrim comes with general optimizations related to stability and performance and will be auto-downloaded next time you start the Steam client. In addition, the game will now require Steam to run in the background.
Here is the complete changelog:
