It doesn't appear that this update deals specifically with the reports of update 1.1 causing crashes across PC, PS4, and Xbox One. For its part, Bethesda has said it's investigating those crashes, but there's no word yet on when a fix will arrive or if any workarounds currently exist.

A previous patch for Skyrim's Special Edition fixed the game's audio downgrade issues.
