Released for the PC on November 11, 2011, ''Skyrim'' is the fifth installment in Bethesda Game Studios' ''Elder Scrolls'' series. On February 1, 2012, the highly-anticipated ''Skyrim Workshop'' was released by Bethesda and Valve, once more allowing anyone to create customized mods and patches for the game.
 
 
 
Though the PC version of the game has received wide praise, the game is not without its (sometimes crippling) bugs. Fortunately, this is where playing the PC version has its advantages, allowing players to quickly implement fixes without having to wait for official releases from Bethesda.
 
 
 
=== Bugs ===
 
 
 
''Note: This list will grow over time, hopefully covering every known bug in Skyrim, as well as any known fix.''
 
# Main Quest
 
#* '''A Cornered Rat (''Quest ID: MQ202'')'''
 
::: '''''Bug''': When first meeting Esbern in the Ratway, the audio for Esbern's dialog does not play, the subtitles (if on) only flash, and he will not unlock the door for you.''
 
::: '''''Fix 1''''': By accessing the console (by default, hitting the tilde key [~]), you can simply enter <code>setstage MQ202 160</code> to force Esbern to open the door. However, this will ''not'' fix the audio issue with Esbern.
 
::: '''''Fix 2''''': If you grow tired of never hearing Esbern speak, and not being able to read his subtitles, you can manually extract the audio files from the .bsa they're stored in. To do this you need to download/install a program capable of extracting the files (such as [http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3117 BSA Unpacker]). Once you have the program, use it to extract all the files inside the <code>Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa</code> to the <code>\Data\</code> folder in your Skyrim directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim\Data or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapp\<YourSteamUserName>\Skyrim\Data\). The <code>VoiceExtra.bsa</code> is also located in that Data folder.<br/>Once extracted, the audio will correctly play, and the right triggers will happen that allows Esbern to unlock the door for you.
 
 
 
# General Crash Advice
 
#* First, verify whether the computer is stable.
 
#* For Steam versions, verify the integrity of the data files.  Crashes and graphical corruption are often caused by disk corruption.
 
 
 
=== Official Updates ===
 
 
 
As of February 1, 2012, the latest update for the PC version is 1.4.
 
 
 
=== Mod Information ===
 
 
 
New and existing mods for Skyrim are being added and updated frequently. [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/content/modmanager/ Nexus Mod Manager] is an easy to use, free tool produced by NexusMods.com. Download any mods you want and manage, install, and uninstall with a one-click user friendly GUI. If any particular mod doesn't work correctly with your install, simply close the game, open Nexus Mod Manager again and deactivate the failing mod. Some mods do not work 100% with others and may cause the game to crash or not load at all.
 
Also using [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/browse/?appid=72850&browsesort=toprated Steam Workshop] to get mods is highly recommended as you can choose any mod you want and next time you play Skyrim through Steam, it installs the chosen mods.
 
As of 7th of February players got their hands on Creation Kit which is the same program Bethesda Softworks used to make The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. You can install Creation Kit by opening up your Steam program, selecting view from upper left corner and then choosing tools from the drop-down list. Double click Creation Kit when you have found it from the tools list.
