 I was just wandering whether a patch had been released for any version of awakening to fix the several bugs. I ask this because I just saw on the PS3 store 3 free DLCs for DA:O, and thought, when there's DLC a patch can't be far behind! Speaking of the new DLC, am I right in saying it can only be played on Origins and not awakening?

Thanks
Mike

P.S. I can't seem to find my DA:O disk and thats why I haven't booted it up to see if there was a patch.

No patch yet, what are the free PS3 DLC?

Ya I wish Bioware would respond with some sort of status for patch posts are everywhere on the forums asking for some status and Bioware doesnt respond to any of them or they throw up a dodegy answer such as



"We are aware of these issues and are working on them"



when really all bioware has to do is tell us the truth be it

"We made our money we dont indend to fix these problems your are SoL"

"We are working on a patch expect it in a month"

"Expect a Patch in Year"

"No patch will be made"

"We are waiting until the pile of problems get 6ft high before addressing them"



any answer at least lets us know what is going on but Bioware insists on leaving us in the dark with nothing HORRAY!!



cant wait to see the customer service/patchs for Knights of the Old Republic MMO as MMOs require lots of patching (this might be an MMO I will not play based off Biowares notorious patch/bug fixing history (generally taking forever if at all))



Sorry this turned into a rant just urks me that an amazing game can get slaughtered because of bugs not getting fix or address

[RurouniSaiya-jin]

Well, a patch release date relies on bug fixing and bug fixing can take 2 minutes, 2 hours, 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years or never in the case of the bug being too elusive.

[mycomwhiz]

while this I understand which is why there needs to be responses saying this



If bioware said yes so and so problem is being worked on its elusive and taking longer than we expect to fix prolly going to be a few months to fix



im kool with that as it is an answer to wat is the status of so and so problem



im not kool with

um.. so and so problem we are aware of...end statement



which is the usual answer that we get

[RurouniSaiya-jin]

Well, most of the work of fixing a bug is finding out what causes a bug to happen. If you can find out the true cause of a bug, you can definitely fix it and often in a fraction of the time it took to find the cause, unfortunately. So as you may have guessed, it's easy to go from "I've made no progress with this bug" to "it's fixed" in a small short of time. So, even if they say they are working on a bug, they can't really say they expect to fix it for some certain time frame.



However, if what you really want is a dev to chime in every now and then saying which bugs they're currently actively working on, I don't see why this can't be done. It's a reasonable request.

   I think this is the thing that annoys me the most about the whole situation.  During the RtO fiasco, one of the Bioware folx stated that he had gotten management to approve his keeping us up to date on what was happening.  We got a few updates and then a "surprise" launch of RtO.

   Then we start getting this massive amount of information from Bioware about DA:A, but again get a "surprise" patch, then a week later we get the much anticipated launch of DA:A with the attendant hoopla from the dev team...  And then nothing...

   It has been 3 weeks since reports of bugs and issues with the patch started pouring onto the forums, and two weeks since bugs and complaints about DA:A started pouring in, and the only word we have from Bioware is 'We are aware of such and so issue'.

[mycomwhiz]

Yea I think that would really be best if they at least gave us status on which ones they are working on so we at least know that much would put my mind a ease

[Maria Caliban]

No, there is no patch at this time.



No one knows when there will be a patch or what it will fix when there is one.

[Unseen_77]

DA:O is still is not fixed and needs a patch. So I don't have my hopes up that the expansion will see any patches anytime soon.

before 1.03 dao was very playable with very few large scale bugs. 1.02a fixed a lot of problems. the only major bugs after 1.02a was the load times and the dex bug.

[Crixt]

I don't know about ps3 but 360 definitely needs a fix.

[SOLID_EVEREST]

I'm waiting for the patch to stop my freaking sound and frame-rate drops...



I hope they give us a patch soon...

[worksa8]

This needs a patch soon, as it stands it's a waste of store shelf space,

If your a console owner that is- PC users have mods and such that fix several issues. I dont get this, if Bioware is working on a patch, why can users fix the issues in like a few days- when Bioware can't fix them for months?...

[Mr.DriftingDreamer]

One thing to consider is that BioWare is not only maintaining two games right now but they are working on (at least) two others. This means these people are busy busy. However, I am also gripping about not having a patch. Why can't they fix the little stuff first, and then move to the bigger stuff. If they're going to rely on patches to offer a finished product then give us a weekly patch until stuff is finished.

[worksa8]

The main game items not working should have just been fixed like days after release- not weeks, and sure as well better not be months.

[Wishpig]

Well, since my good computer died on me, looks like it'll be a while before I can play the game



Oh well. Maybe the patch will come out by then.

There will be no patches after 1.03.
All resources have been reallocated to Star Wars MMO. Dragon Age is effectively at the end of its lifecycle (it made money for SWKOTOR, now there's no reason to support it). Same thing happened with Champions Online.

Dude... you do realise their being developed by two very very diffrent teams. Totally seperated and independent. Sure, some switch over, and after Origins the team is smaller, but they still remain and have nothing to do with Star Wars.

Like Blizzard for example. You think the guys working on Diablo 3 or Starcraft 2 also worked on the recently released Diablo 2 patch? Nope.

Of course, with a new Dragon Age product on the way, they might focus attention on that.

Blizzard has a virtually unlimited amount of money and a product that requires very little creative maintenance. They can also hire a virtually unlimited number of monkeys with typewriters.

All other game companies have severe budgetary and personnel limitations, and Bioware is no exception. Of course they won't shout  it from the rooftops, but you can bet your ass people and focus have been shifted.

DA was vigorously hyped and served its purpose (made money), now it will be shuffled aside in favor of the MMO. The proof is in the pudding - or rather, in the DLC store. The game has always been buggy and half-baked, and 1.03 made things worse - yet all we get an April 1st special that probably took less than 16 man-hours to complete. And on the subject of patch, the silence is deafening.

No, Bioware isn't evil, they simply don't have the people to work on a project that has already been bled dry money-wise, when another much-awaited and hyped project is waiting in the wings.

the only problem with that theory is that the dlc team is completely different from the team that made awakening and the team that does patches.

[worksa8]

I wanna patch NOW! WAAHHHH T_T

[Mr.DriftingDreamer]

We're not going to get a patch, at least not any time in the next few weeks. If they haven't patched anything yet, more than likely, it will be a while.
