Was this an actual patch? Anyone know? How would I check?

Edit: File version says 1.1.21.0. What was it before? Also, the main exe (TESV.exe) says it was updated today in the file properties.

The only changed file was TESV.exe. There is no change log or readme :(

Just got it too.

It's no coincidence that the TESV.exe is 18.6MB......

I wonder if it's an emergency patch for the urgent issues (ie VSync.)

No entries in the product release and it wasn't a steam client update soooo.... hopefully we'll get some details on just wtf was updated.

Edited:
Obviously an 18.6mb can not possibly or very unlikely be a full patch that we're expecting but maybe there are some quick fixes / criticals on game breakers. That'd be a start at-least.

Well, whatever it is messed up Large Address Aware. I can't run the game at all now. /sigh

It was nice being able to play it without crashes.

Yeah I just exited the game and got the update, whatever it was.

Interestingly enough I didn't have to revert back to my original EXE (I did the FAA patch or whatever it's called)

Is anyone else not able to start the game anymore? When I click Play it just closes and reopens the launch window.

It was already version 1.1.21, so nothing special there.

Well it hasn't fixed what I consider the most embarrising bug for their QA department.
(audio crash on main menu because they're using the sound card's default format [192KHz], instead of the format their sounds are encoded to [44KHz]).

Yep that's it right there. So no more 4GB patch either. Oh joy.

That's definitely the version number it was before. So that didn't change. : scratches chin:
