From Bethesda Blog

Beginning today, Steam users can download the beta version of Skyrim 1.9 title update - featuring Legendary new features (see below) and new bug fixes. For console players out there, we're hoping to release 1.9 later this month -- we’ll keep you updated when we have specific dates.

With recent changes to Steam, you'll want to take the following steps to opt into the beta.

  • Within your Steam Library, right click on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
  • Select Properties
  • Select the Beta tab and opt in using the drop box

If you opt into the Beta, be sure to back up your saved games or simply be careful not to overwrite your existing saves. If you decide to opt out of the beta program, your old saves will still work with the current release of Skyrim on Steam (v 1.8).
So what's in the update? Check the changelog below...

Holy crap, well, we've got our work cut out for us on the USKP update then. Looks like there's going to be some reversions to do :P

MASTERFILE: GameSetting 'fDiffMultHPToPCL' in file 'Update.esm' is not recognized by the current EXE.

Minor enough though that one can continue working without it.

Are Bethesda spying on you?

 

First they release a game then you step in and fix most of their bugs, so they release a new patch and you need to cut out most of the fixes you have included. :X   Sounds like to me that Bethesda do have spies out there. :P

I asked over on the BS forum, heard nothing, am asking here. What do you need us to look at/test for this beta?

 

I understand we cannot yet look at Source, so it will just be the patches themselves. Please make a list of things to check, and I'm sure we can divide the work up.

Although this won't be complete, here's a quick hand comparison of explicitly mentoned matching fixes:

  • Gallus's Encoded Journal
  • No Stone Unturned
  • Ebony Blade
  • Proudspire Manor key
  • Nord Hero Bow (68C57)
  • Purity (Alchemy) perk
  • Japhet's Folly
  • Gharol (Burguk's Longhouse)
  • Matching Set
  • Ancient Knowledge
  • courier (Bug #179)

All of that, and quite a few more things, I've already weeded out. I'm working on figuring out exactly which compiled scripts have been updated since the last time we got an update to the Skyrim Misc bsa file. That will have to be cross checked against what we have in the USKP.

 

It's probably going to be quite a bit, but not so much that it's going to take me more than the rest of today to get figured. Then it'll be a waiting game on the CK update so we can actually deal with it for anything we need to retain fixes for.

Here I was just starting to figure out what needs to be done, and it's already done. I bow to your speed, master!

Crosspost from official forums:

 

So, am I hallucinating, or does 1.9 break the Ancient Knowledge perk even more than it was broken already...?

Previously you would get a 15% bonus to your Smithing skill, and a 25% increase to your armor rating regardless of what armor you were actually wearing. It appears that, now, you will get a 15% bonus to your "tempering health" (this is the same thing that is doubled for corresponding armor and weapon types with each Smithing perk) regardless of crafting material, and a 25% increase to the armor rating of every piece of armor in the game, except Dwarven Armor. W.T.F.

I mean, I fixed this over a year ago (before the Creation Kit was released, in fact) and it's been in the patch for ages. How hard can it be to just copy it over?

At any rate I recommend someone confirm this and if I'm correct we just keep it as-is in the USKP. I can't say for sure until I see the updated script but looking at the new properties I'm pretty sure I know what they did and if so the current fix will overwrite it.

Or, maybe I'm hallucinating. I kind of hope I'm hallucinating.

 

Quick playtest confirms this. The rating on all my armor went up when I added the perk from the console, except for Dwarven which remained the same.

Cute. Are you sure though that what you're seeing isn't stacking against the USKP fix? The way the USKP fixed it was pretty much the same method they used - make a new perk and apply it.

Build 1.9.29.0.8 just came down the pike. No idea what it's fixed yet - hopefully the disease thing. Will be checking shortly.

Skyrim just updated the beta, 14 MB. Seems like the only thing that changed was the EXE, at least no other file has changed timestamp. I can't do a diff as I don't have backup of my beta testing folder.

Perhaps they need to adjust the patch a little for the upcoming CK update.

The exe update fixed the bug introduced by the 1.9 beta where some cured diseases would come back after reloading a save. There's also a beta for the CK 1.9 that you can opt into now.

Yep, disease bug is fixed. CK beta came down, and I'm weeding out the script changes that TES5Edit didn't have eyes on.

But look at what the perk does. And anyway I confirmed it by going and adding that perk in the console, on a character who hadn't completed Unfathomable Depths. It's broken.

Quite the mess. We can't utilize what the USKP had before since that was acting on a perk we created. Bethesda made their own version, so our fix has to modify that one now.

 

I'm hoping they'll see the post in the beta forum, but it may get lost in the noise. I'd much rather they fix this one themselves especially now that it's going to generate a massive exploit in armor ratings.

generate a massive exploit in armor ratings.

Not much more than it did before, except in the case of Dwarven armors.

I tested The Pale Lady that's mentioned fixed in the Official Patch 1.9 notes and it's not working. It's still broken, just a bit differently. Hopefully Arthmoor's fix in the USKP will work :)

Relax Arthmoor, it's worse than you think:

 

Not only is the perk completely broken, but the quest script fragment still contains (unless the CK beta is lying to me) the following bit:

 

Game.GetPlayer().Addspell(MS04Reward)
Game.GetPlayer().Addspell(MS04RewardNoDisplay,false)
Game.GetPlayer().ModAV("SmithingMod",15)

See the problem? They added the ModTemperingHealth effect to the new perk, but then they neglected to remove what it was supposed to replace, which was this hard-coded static increase to Smithing skill. So we will need to continue to have an edit to the script anyway. Although, I think we can avoid having to alter the properties on the script and thus the quest itself.

 

So this is what you now get when you complete Ancient Knowledge:

  • All your armor except Dwarven Armor is permanently increased in rating by 25%.
  • Your smithing skill is increased by 15.
  • Your "tempering health" is increased by 15%. Combined with the previous item you have an effective increase to Smithing of 30, in most respects.

I can't believe someone got paid to do this.

 

I will make a new fix for this from scratch, upload it as an update to my existing fix on the Nexus, then you can grab it from there. I think the footprint will be: edit the script, edit the (Bethesda) perk. I'll leave it to you to implement backward compatibility within USKP.

Ah, thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten about the script edit. That would have been pretty bad considering I took our clone of the perk out when Beth added theirs :P

 

Retro-fix is in place now too.

  • 2 weeks later...

Patch 1.9 has gone live. Be aware that the CK beta has *NOT* unflagged itself to go live so that may still update later.

We've put up another beta update of 1.9 today on Steam (v 1.9.32). This update adds one new fix:

  • Fixed issue with NPCs sleeping with open eyes

They've been busy.
