The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 1.5 patch may have gone live on Steam last week, but that hasn't stopped the Bethesda folks listening to, and finding, more issues with their popular action-RPG.
While console owners await their respective manufacturers to give a greenlight for the 1.5 patch to hit both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Bethesda has added an incremental update for PC players on Steam that fixes a number of new bugs that have arisen since 1.5 was released. Here're the main additions to patch 1.5.26:
- Fixed issue with frequency of first-person kill cameras
- Underwater effects now display properly
- Fixed crash when loading certain plugins (PC Only)
- Fixed issue where sun would not appear properly after fast travel
As noted, the console update has been submitted, so as soon as Bethesda announces any kind of delivery date, we'll let you know.
How is everyone else finding the new 1.5 patch overall?

The new melee kill animations mostly look a bit weird on my character though because they seem to be built for cutting weapons like swords and axes, but I use maces, so a lot of the the time its like my guy cutting someone's throat with the wooden handle of his mace and it just looks weird.

Only real major bug I've come accross is somewhere near the start of my game, just after I got Lydia, she got lost somewhere and disappeared and never came back, but I just went and grabbed a different companion and said f*** it.

i had this happen with janeesa. except i knew the cave she disappeared in. searched for fkn ages n finally found her underwater & she couldn't seem to get out. because she was underwater i couldn't speak with her to tell her to gimme my stuff ;p so i got a new mule, went back to the cave, arrowed janeesa in the water n got my loot back :D
i thought i had lost lydia once but it turned out i had accidentally killed her with a long range arrow. i went back & searched along the path i had last seen her on n found her body next to a dead frost troll i had shot from a distance. got my loot back :D

I've got some roided up hulking woman from the tavern in Whiterun now, and kitted her out with a full set of exquisite dwarven armor and weapons. I had a tonne of the dwarven metal ingots cos I had been through the dwemer ruins in Markath and melted all the priceless artifacts I found down into crafting materials. I even went into the Dwemer museum they had in Markath and snuck around picking the locks on the display cases and melting their relics down too. I'm like an anti-Indiana Jones or something.

The fact I can't even look at a character screen is completely stupid, especially when there is only 7 things max you can equip at any one time anyway. And don't even get me started at how the game gets paused to go into a menu to select a different spell / weapon / drink potions / use scrolls etc... it just seems so unecessary.
