Even after downloading the forthcoming version 1.3 patch for Skyrim, PlayStation 3 owners may continue to face the sometimes crippling-lag that prevents the game from being played for long stretches of time.
The issue has been well-documented since Skyrim’s release just under a month ago. As players’ save game files increase in size, lag becomes a more and more serious problem, particularly for those playing on PS3. The only solution is to restart the system often; in a game that players can spend hours at a time with, that’s hardly ideal. And, as many gamers see it, it’s an unacceptable workaround after spending $60 to pick up the game they’ve been waiting years for.
