Feel free to add to this if you want. So far, I can confirm a couple known issues here.

PC Issues

PC 1. Skyrim was not designed to be played with V-Sync off, and as such framerates beyond 60 FPS can cause major physics bugs and flashing water (accompanied by severe slowdowns). If you wish to not use V-Sync, you will need to limit your FPS using the FPS Capper tool.

ADDENDUM: It has also been confirmed that disabling V-Sync in the game using the iPresentInterval=0 tweak will cause the game calendar to gradually become De-synchronized with the clock, resulting in day turnovers at gradually later and later times. I have checked and it appears that 10 AM is when today becomes tomorrow in my game, and that can cause severe problems for AI schedules relying on a certain day. This cannot be fixed or worked around in any way.

PC 2. Skyrim has an audio bug, and often crashes if you have your audio setting too high. So you have to reduce your computer's sound quality to fix this:

In Windows 7:
Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound
You will see your default sound device. Click it, then click properties.
Go to the Advanced Tab, make sure the default format is set to 44.1Khz 16-bit.
Hit Apply/OK, then run Skyrim.

In Windows Vista:
Go to Control Panel > Sound
Find your default sound device (the one that is checked). Click it, then click properties.
Go to the Advanced Tab, make sure the default format is set to 44.1Khz 16-bit.
Hit Apply/OK, then run Skyrim

PS3 Issues

PS3 1. After approximately 20 to 30 hours of gameplay (to be more precise, once your savegame file size eclipses 6Mb), the game's framerates in exterior environments will drop significantly. There is currently no fix for this, Bethesda will need to address this one themselves.

Xbox 360 Issues

XBX 1. Installing the game to your hard drive introduces a bug where a large number of textures are not scaled properly, and appear at a lower resolution than they should. You can uninstall the game from your drive and play off the disc to prevent this. Patch is pending.

Aravi's game was crashing whenever we approached Valthium Towers. I removed every mod, and it still crashed. However, fast traveling there seemed to fix the problem.

I don't know if this is a bug or if this is supposed to happen (please let me know if this happens to you as well), my character is about level 18 right now, I have the whole Breezehome package with the upgrades. One day i come in and staring at my empty bookcase is a skeleton-ghost. It turns out it is Potema, which at the time i had no idea who she was. She was not in attack mode but not talking either. I sleep and she doesn't bother me, just stands there in front of my book case. Is she pissed off because I always passed up reading the wold queen? or is this a bug in the game? and I never have even seen any quests related to her although I have read up on them just to verify who the hell she was. and just FYI, she DOES attack if I attack her, but only if I attack, otherwise she just stares at my book case, until i get close to her, then she looks at me... typical of a malfunctioning AI... but is it?? I am NOT running any mods at all. I have just plain vanilla Skyrim installed...

UPDATE: Even stranger, when I reloaded my save game, the ghost still there, now comes up as an Imperial Soldier in my house running around and acting like an Imperial Soldier would but clearly is the same ghost. When killed, even weirder, she has all the inventory of an Imperial Soldier... and shows on my guage during combat as Imperial Soldier as well. Actually, Lydia who was hanging out upstairs was the one who actually killed her... but this didn't happen the first few times... its got to be a bug right?

wow, that is obviously a bug, and a creepy one, too! I've done those Potema quests a couple times with a couple different characters now, and have never seen her outside of these quests.

Me and my characters have witnessed some pretty weird compassion in Skyrim, though. Floating weapons is the most harmless one. I'll just be walking around and there will be a weapon floating in the air. Sometimes, it is possible to grab the weapon and put it in Inventory, other times it cannot be removed. I think this is an Xbox-specific glitch, I never saw this happen in my PS3 games.

Much more scary is there have been a couple times when my PC was attacked by an invisible NPC. There is no Chameleon in Skyrim (right? ) so this has to be a glitch. The game malfunctions when trying to draw up that NPC, can't do it, but the NPC exists and can attack anyways.

I've seen the floating weapons glitch, it seems to be where we've left dead NPCs.

Does this remind anyone else of the old woman from Ghostbusters, in the library at the start?... ...

Pretty weird bug there...Never heard of that one...

Although the other day I was in Markath and I'd just had a letter from a Courier...Just as he left, I waited for some hours until the shops opened...No, not very RolePlay, but this is me...(See elsewhere for details )...Aaaamywho, when the game came back from waiting, the courier was moonwalking down the wall from above... ...



Also...*Waves to Osirisgothra*...Welcome!!... ...

Wow. Moonwalking NPC, eh? I'll have a mixture of goosebumps and laughter if I ever see that.
