The
official Elder Scrolls forums have word on a newly discovered bug in the
recently released PC version of the
Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles expansion pack that basically renders the
game unplayable after a certain amount of time:
A very serious bug has been found with Shivering Isles that will render the
game unplayable in many ways after about 50 to 120 hours of play (better FPS
means bug hits earlier). The bug will occur regardless of whether you access SI
content or not.
The bug is thoroughly confirmed on the PC. It is not known whether the bug
affects Xbox users as well -- it is reasonable to assume that it would, but
might not hit until around 150 hours of play assuming 30 FPS on Xbox.
While the situation appeared quite bad initially, a patch mod is now available
for the PC and a tool is available to repair savegames that are affected by the
bug or that are likely hit by it in the near future. Moreover, there is an
official response from Bethesda:
Regarding the issue in which Form ID's are being used at a high rate in the
Shivering Isles content; we are aware of the issue and we are currently looking
into a solution. We appreciate your patience, especially from those of you
affected by this issue, as we carefully work out a fix that will correct this
problem without adding any new issues.
