This was never an issue for levels 1-30, unless i played for over 8 hours. now that i'm over level 47, i get about 30 mins in and the lags unplayable or it just freezes.
I'm guessing they never actually tested either of these sinarios on the PS3 version.
Probably has to do with file size and reading object data in the world.
glad a fix is coming.

Well, considering how long it's took them to take care of this I think I'll get this on Steam. They've treated PS3 customers as 2nd class citizens as far as I'm concerned.
Lets see...lag and freezing issues on Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and now Skyrim. Seems a bit odd they still haven't figured it out yet. Lessen the draw distance, use virtual memory via dedicated hard drive space (if split ram is the problem). Or, here's the idea, rewrite your engine or pay a team dedicated to the PS3 in the future.
Anyway, I was waiting on a patch for the Lag before I even considered Skyrim. I'm playing through Fallout New Vegas again now, dealing with the lag as I can. I'm not doing it again. I may just wait for the Skyrim price drop or eventual $50 all dlc inclusive pack.

And that's why I haven't even started Skyrim yet (and why I waited 'til x-mas to get it as a gift).
I simply CAN'T buy any Bethesda product until it's been patched several times.

I've put in well over 40 hours into the PS3 version and have not had a single issue. I consider myself "fortunate".
Well, we keep letting game developers get away with this...
I bet next console gen an Internet connection is pretty much going to be mandatory or else you are going to have half of your games not working, while the other half has missing content because you aren't able to redeem the packed in codes.

Let's use the gaming term "lag" the way it should be used: When referencing online gameplay packet loss issues. Even though every player regularly confuses "Lag" with "Frame rate loss" -- calling any performance issue "lag" is not appropriate. Besides, we all know when a game has frame rate issues it's called "chug" and when a game has online bandwidth issues it's "lag." Get it right. You sound like an idiot when you're dropping frames and calling it lag.
I just took a Skyrim break to play Uncharted 3 and now Arkham City which I got for Christmas. I'm glad I waited
Is it only PS3 players who are complaining? I've never been interested in Skyrim so I only just saw the game in action the other day at a friends place. He was running the PC version, and it stuttered like mad too. He just seemed to accept it as "that's just the way it is."
Great! Too bad I'm 99 hours in and done pretty much all the stuff I want to do. Maybe after the patch I'll go back and do some more random dungeons after the patch. Maybe.
After what happened with other patches i wonder how much it will fuck up the game.
i got bets on backward flying bears

"Shame a fix is coming so late. I would not fault anyone for letting this situation impact future purchasing decisions."
This! As addicted to Skyrim as I am, I will never buy a Bethesda game at launch anymore. I've lost count of how many times the game froze on me.
I really hope that this patch fixes things right. The last two seemed to fix one thing, break two other things and turn down the stability of the game.
Next game, be it Fallout or Elder Scrolls, I will definitely wait for the GOTY edition with all the patches and all the Add-ons.

Nice! It would also be great if they fixed the Markarth "everybody hates me" glitch where if you don't surrender in the temple, the guards will all attack you and you go to jail, only there is no way to get out of jail glitch.
I had to reload an earlier save and lost about 2 hours of game play and even now I can't go near the temple in Markarth. :(
Yeah, yeah, I should have surrendered in the temple, but it's WAY more fun to take out a bunch of guards first and try to escape! LOL!

I'm only just finishing New Vegas. After Fallout 3 I wasn't going to buy any more of their games until they'd been out and patched up. And I *still* get crashes and freezes sometimes. I would never buy one of their games day one.
200+ hours. This issue was entirely manageable if you didn't play it for like 5+ hours non-stop and kept your number if saves relatively low. I'd just quit out if I though I was going to not be playing it for an extended amount of time
Be thankful Bethesda fixes games at all these days, it certainly wasn't the case for the previous games they did. Morrowind was never fixed by Bethesda, only the fan patches.

Is the game really that bad?? I have the PS3 version, and I've been having fun with it so far. I mean, the game does get REALLY laggy, but that was only back in the first few hours of the game, and before my friend recommended turning off auto-save. That's what I would recommend to everybody.
REMOVE AUTO-SAVE!!
I know that Skyrim is a big game, and dying and losing an hour of game time because the game didn't auto-save is heartbreaking, but it's better to save manually anyways just so that you can always go back if you experience a glitch. In my experience, removing auto-save almost removed all of the problems with Skyrim. The game doesn't feel as slow anymore, the game loads alot faster, and the game doesn't lag as much anymore (still lags a bit, but now only lasts 1-2 seconds and not as frequent).
However, I'm still at 7 MB. I heard the game really starts fucking up at over 10 MBs, so that's probably why people here are mad.

Oh, that sounds good. I didn't buy this game because I heard the PS3 version was so awful, so now I might actually buy it (when it's $40 at least).
Unbelievable they didn't find this bug before shipping. I got it on Xbox because I read about this problem even though I'd rather play it on my ps3 because it doesn't sound like a jet engine taking off.
About bloody time. It can fix the "chug" all it wants, but will let me play this piece of shit for more than 10 minutes without hard freezing my console.
Will it stop me having to re-install the game & patches once a week?
Will it stop it regularly breaking my PS3 file system? I shouldn't have to go into the consoles system maintenance menu to fix it because of a game.
I stopped playing this nearly a month ago when it became unbearable. I'll probably go back to this when they "actually" fix it.

A couple of people have thrown it out there, but I'd like to reiterate before this misused phrase becomes comonplace.
It is literally impossible for Skyrim to have lag. Stop using lag in reference to graphical performance.

I got to about 140 hours, my save file was 16mb and it was just about playable for perhaps an hour before it just wouldn't work.
So i blasted through the end of the main story and lent it to a buddy.
He has no internets so i figure he'll have to bring his PS3 round to get this patch.... at which time I'll be taking Skyrim back to get back into it.
Also read a lot about the 50 level cap, got to about 45 and just finished the story... Apparently a friend of mine reckons he's at 52 and still getting perks and skills etc???!

I've taken a break from Skyrim because of this lag. After playing about 3 hours a day since it's release date, on my third week, I noticed the problem picked up after playing for at least 30 to 45 minutes. I like to let myself get sucked into the world and enjoy everything in it, which is hard to do in just half an hour. The lag wasn't so much a problem for me at first, but it gradually became annoying so I stopped playing entirely. Sucks because I love everything else about Skyrim. Hopefully, the patch will eliminate this issue...without ruining anything else in the game, of course.
@Sexualchocolate Yeah, I heard rumors of the cap being 50 as well, but I finished as much as the game as I wanted to by level 52 and was still getting perks like your friend. I've heard the true cap is somewhere in the 80s when you max out every skill in the game.
You know what the PS3 version crashes and lags, and for a time it is okay you can play past it. There are days were it crashes every 10 minutes and you just have to turn the game off for the day...but it is usually playable. But playable is not good enough.
The big ISSUE with the game is it becomes boring after awhile. That "awhile" for some people might come at seventy hours or eighty hours. For other people that boredom will start after one hundred hours, are for so dull people they might never get boring. Tasteless unimaginative people have no taste or imagination of better things in life - not a big revelation there.
When I played Oblivion and Fallout 3, I always came to a point where I have to say, "This game is so oatmeal-ish." People keeps saying, “Any game where you lose half an afternoon cannot be bad...it must be great, right? Nope, it just means it’s a game they allows you to putter. A game that just putters along not making enough of an impression to even notice you spent six hours getting nothing done and zero progress done is not a great game…it is a mediocre game that is inoffensive. Game of the Year? Hardly! Worthy of praise? Well is tax preparation software worthy of praise…
If people want to play such things fine -- I won't. I will never spend another dime to buy a Bethesda game, and I will never waste another minute of my day playing with 'oatmeal'.

'Addressing' ain't 'fixing'.
Everything from Bethesda on this issue has been a cleverly crafted PR statement aimed at avoiding liability.
After Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and now Skyrim all suffering from this same base memory issue for 10-ish years now...I have very little faith that they even know how to fix it outside of moving to a whole 'new engine'. (an actual new engine; not this re-branded but still fucking broken Gamebryo bullshit)

I waited this long, might as well wait until it hits the bargain bin. Hey, just like I did with Fallout New Vegas.
I had this on order for the PS3 when I first heard about the lag, but cancelled it to get the PC version. Reason I chose the PS3 version was Steam DRM. But I bit the Steam DRM and am glad I did. The PC version runs very smoothly with occasional glitches that are mostly humorous rather than problematic. So, it did affect my purchasing decision. As a PS3 owner, I never minded games coming a few months late if it meant they were better optimized and checked for bugs.
