Not sure if this has been mentioned before - I stopped playing the game after getting Sigrun, since giving her a gift triggered the "+100 approval but still neutral and stuck that way forever" bug. I patched the game and resumed play, but Sigrun still hit the +100 approval bug even after patching. I didn't give her any gifts, but asking her to become a Grey Warden got her stuck on +100. I'm guessing that because Sigrun was already in my party before I patched, that is why the bug still occurred?

Edit:  Hmm, it seems like completing the Amaranthine quests plus not restarting the game causes this error.  Oh well :(

You have to begin a new game.. They said that allmost  the fixes brought by the patch don't work on pre-existing game that you began before patching

Can anyone confirm if Shale's Rock Barrage is now working? I know when I had 1.03 installed, the rocks never came down to hit the enemies. However, I no longer have my saves from then, so I can't check this for myself yet.

New game with new character and 1.04 patch: Sigrun quest still won't trigger if Law and Order is completed.

Bioware, are you even trying? Do you realize that people care way more about companion quests than the generic "slay the bandits" quests?

i can't install the 1.04 patch. it says
'an error occured applying the 1.04 update to your version of Dragon Age: Origins [36]'
can anyone tell me the solutions? thx.

I ran into that problem when I reinstalled & didn't clear my directories beforehand.  Here's how you fix it:

1. Back up any saves/MODs you wish to keep to another folder [optional].
2. Uninstall your game.
3. Delete the directory that the game was installed to as well as the BioWare folder in your My Documents folder.
4. Reinstall Origins.
5. Reinstall Awakening if you have it (if not, skip this step)
6. Patch with the latest patch.
7. Restore any saves/MODs that you backed up before uninstalling.

OKAY THANKS FOR SCREWING UP BIG BIOWARE!!!!!!!
I just installed 1.04
then uninstalled and reinstalled the game to get it to register on the game that the patch went thru (i also reinstalled than after i reinstalled the game) and now it wont download my old DLC on top of the DLC I JUST BOUGHT!!!! (the whole reason I updated the patch in the first place) so yea thanks bioware thanks alot

I JUST WANT TO PLAY MY GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.  Make sure that daupdater.exe & daupdatersvc.service.exe is allowed to connect to the internet through your firewall.
2.  Make sure that the daupdatersvc.service.exe has started while playing your game.  If it is not starting, you can start it manually from the Services shortcut in your Administrative Tools.
3.  I've found that the download/installation process of your DLC progresses much faster if you lower the priority of your game so that the updater server can take advantage of more resources.  To do this:
3a.  Press Ctrl+Alt+Del.
3b.  Processes tab.
3c.  Right-click on daorigins.exe > Set Priority > Low.
3d.  Once the download & installation of your DLC is complete, change the priority of daorigins.exe back to Nomal.

mildmort 2/3 or my DLC yea i could play with 1.0 but the hole reason i downloaded the patch was because i just bought return to ostigar and it said i need 1.02 and since it wont just let me download that i had to uninstall and reinstall my game then reinstall the patch to get the game to register the patch and now it wont even download the DLC

I personally reverted back to 1.02a when I ran into these kind of problems.  You can get it from here.  Don't expect to be using any DLC that requires 1.03 on this patch, however.

Is 1.03 a pre-requisite for 1.04??

Or is 1.04 a standalone 'cumulative' patch?

I think it's the latter but I'm not sure.

It depends; if you just have Origins installed, you can just go straight to 1.04 without any other patches, but if you have Awakening installed as well, you will have to have patch 1.03, since there is no way to install AWakening without it.

HELP PLEASE, CAN NOT FIX!
After installing the update for Dragon Age Origins, for the Xbox 360, I am unable to load ANY of my saved data for ANY of the campaigns I was playing. The Xbox will to go the loading screen, appear to load all of the data, then when the "spinning dial" is suppose to expand and the loading screen, "with all those helpful tips", is suppose to fade out it freezes, and stays on the loading screen. I cannot go to the xbox dashboard, and after 5 seconds the music also stops.

BASICALLY IT FREEZES WHILE I AM TRYING TO LOAD ANY SAVED DATA ON THE LOADING SCREEN!!

On one campaign I have put 49:41:39, And I am about to defeat the arch demon. PLEASE HELP!!

So far this patch has lowered the number of crashes. I'm still crashing about once every hour though and I don't think its my system as this doesn't happen on any other games.
SPECS are : AMD phenom II x3 720 : 4 gig ddr2 ram: Crossfire ATI Radeon 4850's using catalyst driver version 10.6

You're in completely the wrong place.  There is some info in the "patch release for XBox" thread in this forum, but most of it seems to be in the XBox technical support forum.  The devs appear to have confirmed that yes, there is a real and significant issue for certain XBox variants.

Installing the expansion will update the game to version 1.03, regardless of what version it was before - there is no need to install the 1.03 patch after doing so.  After installing the expansion, you can install the 1.04 patch and you're good.  1.04 does not require patches to be applied before it - it includes all fixes from previous patches.

It seems to me that this is an announcement forum, not a troubleshooting or bug-reporting forum.  I only know this because nobody from Bioware has responded to the numerous questions posed regarding the expected/hoped-for fixes that are not present in this patch.  I suggest you take your complaints to the appropriate support forum for your platform.  At least Nathan Willis has attempted to respond to some problems people are having.

As for this fix in particular, it is one of many day one bugs that continues to be ignored by Bioware.  Another such issue is Find Vitals.  It is beyond my understanding how bugs of this nature - those that fundamentally *break* the very content that the expansion promises - don't merit Bioware's attention.

Sort of like having companion quests that can't be completed if you follow the logical progression of the game (going to Amaranthine first).  Or not being able Warden-ize later companions if you choose the leg with the only S&S companion first.  Or that Oghren is impossible to advance to max-bonus if you import because of diminishing returns carried over? 

I'm glad that they've addressed a few glaring issues, like not being able to detect traps, but I'm so worn out of having to play through Awakening in a completely illogical manner in order to experience all the content.  And yes, I have posted on the technical forums, too.

Still no details about the various missing quest rewards, e.g. Shaperate.

Thank you Bioware. I've been playing non-stop since the release of this patch and hell it seems you've got it right this time, the game is more stable and faster, its like a new engine, although the CPU is still utilized 100% even at the menu. Anyway, no more CTDs for me, I reloaded various save points and no lag at all. Thank you again!

I've now completed Awakening again, this time after starting a new game with patch 1.04. I only noticed two bugs:

1) Duncan's Dagger had a copy of Duncan's Sword in one of its rune slots. (I hear this can also happen with Cailan's armor, but I didn't bring that so I didn't see it.) I gather this is a pre-existing issue with some items imported from Return to Ostagar and not specifically related to patch 1.04

2) My Warden still didn't get a letter from Zevran. Is it meant to turn up in your inventory to begin with, or do you get it some other way? They did meet up again in the epilogue, though, so I didn't mind too much :).

That might be working as intended, and not a bug (as the wikia notes, the name of Sigrun's quest suggests that showing a zeal for law and order might make her less inclined to reveal it).

Funny, the patch seems to have worked for most people as far as crashes are concerned, for me it's just creating a whole bunch of issues where i had almost none before.
Game freezes, stuttering video and audio, game manages to crash my videocard drivers...
I could go on, but i've given up at this point, because even after reinstalling the game twice, and reinstalling and updating all possible video and audio drivers it still crashes and stutters like mad.

1) Yes.. this was a pre-existing problem.. When you import character sometimes there are weapon's of RTO which have other objects in their rune.. But I trust this is a very rare bug because you are the second person here who had this problem.. The other one was me in one of my three playtroughs...

2) For your letter check your Codex.. You should find it into the "Notes" if I remember well.. I found my letter from Leliana there...

Except for the fact that it works fine on Xbox regardless of completing that quest.  It's only on PC and PS3 that the quest won't spawn.  And all it takes is having the quest in your log, not completing it - at which point you haven't yet sided with the guard.  Some people have also encountered this problem when starting Smuggler's Run, and others have had the quest glitch if they give Sigrun a gift before taking her to Amaranthine.  The suggestion that it's due to Sigrun's reticence to discuss her past with a Lawful character is just a community-created explanation.
 
With the number of times that it's been brought up on technical support threads, no one from Bioware has yet stated that it's working as intended.  I have explicitly asked for confirmation from Bioware tech and got nothing.  I can't imagine they wouldn't make a statement somewhere.
