Eurogamer Warns 360 owners not to Install Skyrim

Looking directly at that picture you wouldn't tell but apparently Eurogamer claim that Skyrim has texture issues if installed to the 360 HDD. The higher resolution textures stall and don't load properly yet running from disk they stream fine, the PS3 version is unaffected however, which required a mandatory install.

Installing to a USB drive also didn't help as they also found out the game completely ignored the drive and tried to run off the the system's drive and DVD instead - removing the  core drive meant the USB drive worked but only for 15 minutes until crashing

Sykrim's official forum was updated with a post

Skyrim uses a lot of dynamic streaming systems, including textures. We've seen a few reports of certain textures temporarily scaling down on the Xbox 360, and not scaling back up. We have verified that this issue does not occur when playing off the disk and when the game is fully cached (not installed).
Skyrim makes heavy use of the Xbox 360 caching system, and caches over the normal course of play while in menus or interiors. This cache can be wiped when other games are played or when the user manually removes it. We're working on a solution in the next title update for those who have installed the game.

Oops they did it again.

Hacking major games developers seems to be the new cracking the pentagon for many out there this past year. We've seen Sony hacked multiple times, Nintendo, Sega, Epic games and even our beloved Bethesda and Bio-Ware. Now the latest target is Steam. Many of you may have noticed things have been acting a bit funny for the past 24 hours and the forums are 'under maintenance' yup, hacked.

Valve have yet to give any official statement yet, but luckily for us, a Reddit user  managed to get a screenshot of the forums before they were taken offline. Apparently many Steam users were also emailed the same blurb.  weather or not any account details have been taken are unclear at this time.
