Troll much?

No. actually this was my first attempt at "Trolling" as i normally cant be bothered even posting. It appears i need to work on my method.

But what the hell, as i cant enjoy the game i might aswell get involved in the pointless conversations that are taking place here.

To my knowledge, no release date has ever been set for the patch. When they say something like "more details next week" that means a status update, and so far they're on track with that.

I'm still hoping for the steal/dog find bug getting fixed

any ETA on this patch?

Not only is this not a game-breaker, it's already "fixed" (
although not officially "patched") via Community mods such
Surango's excellent one found here: http://social.bioware.
com/project/2335/#files

I'd prefer Bioware focus their time to fix the stuff the
community can't (e.g. CtDs, broken plot flags and event
triggers/dialogue branches.) Only after it "works" right should
they try to get *everything" working right.

So Bioware should ignore the console players just because some bugs can be fixed for PC users? I'd much rather they fixed as much as they can, since I refuse to use community fixes since console players don't have that option.

There not just some bugs we are talking about crashing my 2000.00 dollar PC anytime I try to run the game. Do not try and make this PC vs Console.This is about a Major error that can cost up to 3 grand for some people. I have not been able to play at all in 4 months.

It's just the deal with PCs and the multiple configurations and hardware specs they are dealing with. It's easier to fix things on a closed platform like a console than to figure out all the hundreds (thousands) of various PC configurations you have to deal with.

My self-built, just over $300 computer runs DA:O and Awakening like a champ. I mean, there are bugs in the game that need patched still, but nothing that stops me from playing. I've never (knock wood) had it crash my PC.

Then why are the console versions lagging behind the PC version in fixes?

Because community modders are coming out with fixes for the small issues that will work for some folks on PC? IDK for sure.

As far as official, from BioWare fixes, I don't think they are any more "ahead" (but I could be wrong, as I don't play this game on console, just PC.)

The first 2 patches for PC iirc fixed a ton of issues still present on the consoles, The "patching code" would be placed under Q&A by Sony and MS maybe, as for the game data being replaced/unpacked by the "patcher", that souldn't have to pass Q&A from MS and Sony as it should be left up to the developers descretion to fix what they want.

Well, I know the 360 didn't get patch 1.02 at all.  That's probably what you're talking about.

The console companies have certain standards that they make sure everything adheres to.  Some of them are bugs they wouldn't allow on their system (Example: If the ground suddenly stops displaying if you rotate the camera to the right in a game, patch or DLC, it would be denied.)  Others are consistancies of the company (Example: A is for Accept, B is for Back.  If you use B for Accept and Y for Back, your game, patch or DLC will be denied.    (Incredibly annoying on a system where the B button is in the Accept finger position.))

Normally, if a game, patch or DLC fails this check, the company will send a report back saying why, usually listing lots of reasons.  Then as a developer, you fix those reasons and resubmit.  You expect to have to submit at least twice.  Part of this is to prevent this issue to begin with, of a game being released with so many inhibiting bugs that make it more frustrating to play.  Though the different companies will have different standards...  I suspect MS & Sony have lower standards than Big N due to the ability to patch later (which doesn't actually warrant a change to quality control IMO).  I also suspect this because I've played several games on my 360 that I know would not have passed Big N's quality checks (like this one).

Yes I agree the QAA would DELAY the patches, but it really shouldn't have much of an effect on the DA:O patch's outside of the delay (they shouldn't have to alter or reduce the number of changes per patch).



Anyways yeah, I've always not been a fan of Sony or MS consoles with regards to QA as like you said, they have a hard drive and can be lazy bastards to make cash quick and slowly, if ever, fix the game up to working.



I love Nintendo for sticking to the release once, never release again strategy as it forces companies to ensure there game works well else it will be forever broken. I think some Wiiware titles got updates over time but they are incredibly infrequent.

[Galagraphia]

I forgot to say: PLEASE  don't fix the bug with Anders' love! I really like that bug! That's my favourite bug ever!

[BrunoB1971]

Again being redundant...i am inclined to say that the patch "might" come out in or around the new dlc...remember that they still have to work things out, do a final test, package the files to make the patch plus send it out to microsoft and sony for their approval.

[BrunoB1971]

what would be nice in the next update is to seperate issues by consoles and PC because some fixes will not go across the board or are console or pc specific...would be a tad nice to break down the list...

The patch team is on a roll now.  The longer we wait, the more bugs they'll include in the patch.  We've waited this long, what's a few more weeks?? 

[Thandal N'Lyman]

My impression is that we're (finally!) geting a weekly update of (likely) patch contents, but so far no word at all on the anticipated release date. Just speculation by players based on history (with BW, EA, or other publishers). Most guesses seem to revolve around the announced July 6th release for the next DLC, Leliana's Song.

Here's hoping it'll come out before then!

Why am I reading all this nonsense instead of playing Awakening?

Could be because I need that /#¤())=/¤" patch to be able to play it, at all. :crying:

Victor's weekly patch updates are CONFIRMED patch contents.  They are in the process of addressing a large number of bugs which include Awakening bugs (thank goodness!!!).  As each bug fix passes QA, it is added to the CONFIRMED patch list.  That's why Friday is indeed a GOOD FRIDAY!!!   

Whether or not the patch is released prior to the new DLC will be dependant on the new DLC requiring it.  My impression is that this is the case.  Can you imagine playing Leliana as the main character and not being able to steal or detect traps??  These are the bugs currently in patch 1.03.  So, by that simple fact, I'm expecting them to fix those bugs (among others) in patch 1.04 and release it prior to July 6th.

I wish they could fix the bug where I purchased this game thereby causing seven months of gaming frusteration and wasted money. To do the damage that BioWare has caused this game as time went by it is absolutely unbelievable that they wouldn't release smaller patches faster to fix critical bugs. This 'wait and see and wait some more' crap is ridiculous. The only reason they're even releasing a patch is because they have no choice with the upcoming DLC. The patch is required to effectively milk us of our money (those of us who bother to purchase). As is typical of BioWare, this upcoming patch may fix some of the things we've been griping about, but more sh*t will get broken and this cycle will begin anew.

I understand the frustration, but they've established in other threads that patches and DLC come from two different teams.

Just by the timing of these announcements, I'd bet a dollar that Leliana's Song, since it has an announced launch date already, is going to come out first, with 1.03 still the latest patch "needed" to run the content (I'm not saying to run it effectively with all the pick-pocketing and what not, but to run it without the bells and whistles). Then 1.04 will come out. I hope I'm wrong, and the patch comes before the 6th. But I don't see it, considering what has been announced and what still needs to be fixed. But I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm proven wrong.

[Kail Ashton]

Patch is still most likely to pop up before the Leliana DLC on june 6th,m they have to do one just to add the DLC into the game anywho

LMAO, this is one of the funniest, most honest and common sense comments, here!!!

[Jkaura]

My guess is it will come around the same time as the Leliana DLC as logic would say they'd put the patch and the downloadable content through the verification at the same time to save hassle.

[MaxQuartiroli]

the earlier it is released, the better it is.. I am suffering a number of crashes to desktop which is near to enter in Guinness World Record.. This evening I had more or less 40 crashes to desktop in a 4 hour play session...

And before 1.03 I had no more than 2/3 crashes in an entire playtrough !!!
