In the Bethesda Blog, the developer wrote, ”While the 1.2 update fixed the long-term play issues for most PS3 users, we are aware that is not the case for some. We’ve been reaching out to a number of those users to collect save games, so we can take a look at their specific issues. Right now we know it’s not one thing, but a combination of smaller ones that some folks are seeing, but others are not.”
The developer went on to describe some of the non-fixes that PS3 owners are seeing, ”Some seem to be the PS3 autosaving in the background (you can turn that off), some may be SPU AI updates, and some may relate to dynamic system memory allocation.” Unfortunately, the 1.3 patch that is in “final testing” won’t resolve those issues.
According to the blog, ”These fixes are not in the current 1.3 update that is in final testing, but will be in future ones. We understand how frustrating it can be when your game is having issues, and we thank all of you for your continued feedback and patience. Rest assured we take your gameplay experience seriously and will continue working on this until it’s resolved.”
These issues may never be solved, due to the inherent technical shortcomings of the PS3, namely, the RAM allocation.
