Skyrim got patched, for the worse.
14 years ago
Skyrim got a new patch today. It was meant to fix a bunch of issues, but it seems to have caused more problems than it has solved.
There are widespread reports of dragons flying backwards and avoiding fights with the player, as well as elemental, magic and poison resistance no longer working, and various issues with the controls.
I haven't had the problems with dragons, but I've noticed that my resistances don't seem to be working. Mages and dragons are delaing me a lot more damage than they should be.
The real hassle for me though is what they've done with the controls.
I play with a 360 controller, and right from the start I switched the functions of the Y and A buttons on it so that Jump is on A and Activate is on Y.
Before today that worked just fine. Y activated and A jumped, but in menus A was still the main selection button, and Y mostly just served to favourite and unfavourite items.
However, since this new patch, A still jumps and Y still activates, but things get a bit confusing as soon as I have to interact with a menu. Suddenly it has changed so that I have to use Y to select my response in conversations. In the inventory A now does fav/unfav and Y makes me eat ingredients or equip items.
On the map I still press A to select a location for fast travel, but now I have to hit Y instead of A when I confirm my choice.
Worst of all though, the quests and options menus won't acknowledge input from Y OR A. I have to use Enter on the keyboard instead!
I hope Bethesda release another patch soon to undo all the damage they've done this time.
Until then I'll probably spend my time playing other games that actually work the way they're supposed to.

I play with keyboard and mouse, but I haven't played since the patch. I guess I'll get to see firsthand all the damage they've done :s
A new patch is on the way soon which will hopefully fix it all up again.
thanks for the heads up.
I got the 360 version so I'll wait awhile before updating it
