fShadowBiasScale from 0.5000 to 1.5000

Worked for someone who had the same problem.

Thanks mate, that sorted it.

Which means that you will probably have to un-mod your game and start anew. Congratulations.

In terms of the roll-out, it was the same for New Vegas. Those DLCs will come to the other platforms shortly thereafter.

As long as it's not like Fallout 3/Oblivion where we(ps3 users) had to wait for about a year.

^ All Skyrim DLC is Xbox exclusive for 30 days, other platforms follow immediately afterwards. Look at this way, at least PS3 users will have 30 days of beta testing to decide if they will even bother with the DLC. I can't imagine it will be any different to the Fallout mess.

I know about the 30 day business, first thing out of Bethesda's mouth when they announced the game. But Fallout 3's took more than 30 days to make it's way to PS3, so I'm just hoping that the end of the 30 day "exclusive" is when everyone else gets it. Not wait 30 days, and then wait some more. I don't know how long it took fallout NV DLC to make it over.


In reality this whole "exclusive" DLC is a finger to the customers.

It's like selling two bikes to two different customers, and giving one customers both wheels, and then telling the second customer that they can have the second wheel sometime in the future.

Kind of like those Ally commercials:

Yea I gave up on it, too buggy lost a dungeon that took me days to complete. Last resort CK refused to load up just crashes windows everytime where I have to reboot.

I'm reading here about DLC and an expansion gonna keep an eye out as I dont play Skyrim as much.

xbox console kiddies, always get new dlc exclusively for awhile. I wonder how much Microsoft pays developers for that.

Yup, especially to the PC customers who have been keeping their games alive
all these years with mods.

I revisit mods/patches/updates whenever I start a new character, and I only play one at a time. If I get Dawnguard it won't be until it's been out for a while and I can see from online discussions how mods are gonna work with it (and how it's working overall). I would probably start a new game/character for it anyway, so it's no biggie.

I may not get it at all until a GOTY edition is released that includes all available expansions, or it becomes necessary to have it in order to add some later DLC that looks more interesting. Vampires and vampire hunting as the focal point of a new set of quests just doesn't appeal to me very much. OTOH, I may be swayed by the reactions and experiences of other people who are playing it, so who knows?

So far I only have a Steam account for playing the game. But to buy DLC, I would need to beef that up with a banking account, right, and my banking data on their servers, eh?

No chance that will ever happen. Dream on, Steam.

Maybe later, maybe as a collection with several other DLCs like Knight Of The Nine for Oblivion, they bring it out via DVD as well. And wasn'T it with Fallout's modules like that, too? First DLC, then DVD? Sure it was. I have the GOTY box, it'S all there.

If it does not happen, my money will happily stay with me.

They don't store your credit/debit card data unless you ask them to. Although the option to store the data when making a purchase is checked my default. I uncheck it every purchase I make.

FB users recently also thought that when they uncheck something, the company would not carry out the linked option. As we know by now, they were wrong.

Playstation leak, anyone?

Sensible data and banking data is something you should be extremely hesitent to trade via the web. And data-collectors you should not trust when they give you options - NEVER.

I had my credit card stored on PSN when it leaked, and nothing happened. And anyone who didn't have PSN store the credit card information was unaffected.
