User blog:Deyvid Petteys/PS3 Patch Delay Explained

Bethblog released the the beta for patch 1.7 on Steam. Although with a myriad of fixed bugs, the patch is PC exclusive. Much to the dismay of console-players, specifically PS3 owners, the patch for mounted combat v1.6 will not be released until v.1.7 releases on consoles. However, v1.6 is rolled into v1.7. Longer wait, but bug fixes and mounted combat. Win some, you lose some.

To leave feedback on the beta, check out Bethblog's forums.

List of fixed bugs:
 * General memory and stability optimizations
 * Fixed crash related to new water shaders
 * Fixed rare crash related to dragon landings
 * Fixed logic error with loading screens from add-ons (Xbox 360)
 * Using vampiric grip and swimming no longer prevents swimming animation from playing afterwards
 * Improved recognition with Kinect voice commands (Xbox 360)
 * Kinect-enabled dragon language shouts for French, German, Italian and Spanish work properly (Xbox 360)
 * Fixed issue with Dawnguard Kinect-enabled dragon shouts for French, German, Italian and Spanish (Xbox 360)
