The patch is in the state that it is (well, deplorable), due to Electronic Arts not aproving the funding to create a real patch. In such a situation, the company delegates 1 developer (for part-time only) to write a patch, as it is not cost-effective to commit more resources to a non-profitable venture. This is a standard tactic of the "renowned" publishing houses. DLC's can be sold, so they greately take priority over patches

have any solid proof on that or it's just your educated guess?

Because, yanno, there are plenty EA games that get patched promptly and with patches that actually don't create further problems.

"Blame the corporate suits!" is always easy, it doesn't always hit the mark, though.

Well, we all have the proof, considering that many problems have been corrected by modders. Any developer being let to work on the patch (instead of being shifted to the DLC department) could have fixed them simply by copy-pasting and adapting. By extrapolating this scenario, you get the answer.

Developer time is paid time best used to creating content that entails financial revenue (DLC's or DA2).

That's not proof. Just more speculation on your part.

Wow more or less 820Mb each DAO and DAA.



Steam is auto updating.

[AloraKast]

First of all, let me say Thank You BioWare for working diligently on this patch.  And thank you for the weekly updates! Those were absolutely fabulous, they let us know what you are up to, as well as gave us some insight into the whole process and just how much time and effort something like this involves.

Now, there don't appear to be too many issues being reported on this thread, which is fabulous.  I think I will wait a few more days to see if anything further develops, but so far things are looking promising.  I just might be able to experience Awakening, Darkspawn Chronicles and Leliana's Song, along with any future DLC that may come out!

I am a little bit concerned about your suggestion to remove Warden's Keep as a workaround to some armour graphic bugs? Worst comes to worst, I shall just have to endure those graphic issues, as I really have been enjoying all of the DLC I purchased so far (up to and including RtO... everything else has been waiting to be bought until a fix was in place to address 1.03). Also, I understand there might still exist a possibility of major bugs in Silverite Mine.

These things are the reason why I am still debating purchasing Awakening. I would love to experience a continuation of my Warden's adventure, however those few but major bugs remaining have me trying to weigth the pros and cons.  Think the best thing to do would be to wait a few more days and see more feedback from the players... Even if I decide against purchasing Awakening, I would still have to install the patch in order to experience Darkspawn Chronicles and Leliana's Song... Am still using 1.02a.

So I shall be watching this topic with great interest and, if any players have any recommendations, would love to heard from you, especially with respect to the bugs/issues still existing in Awakening.

To the people with the DLC issues....
Try going to your DLC menu and unchecking everything then rechecking it. This fixed the issue for me.

Thank you good ser, this worked like a charm for me

Can anyone confirm whether or not Sigrun's side quest in the city is fixed? For mine, the woman she is supposed to bump into won't appear since I already did the "Law & Order" side quest. Does 1.04 fix that?

She finnaly appeared for me after this patch, I'm not sure why she hasnt for you though sorry

Not sure whether Akiios is in the same situation you describe, Hammer.

From everything I've seen (I've not tested this yet specifically) I don't think that Sigrun's companion quest is going to trigger differently in 1.04.  In fact, the idea that "Sigrun's Roguish Past" can't be resolved if you follow the Law and Order path actually makes some sense....so this may have been Operating As Designed from the beginning.

[Matdeception]

One quick issue to throw in here, not sure if anyone else has had it. My 'blood' splatter effects, blood sprays, or anything of the like doesn't work. I noticed something looked different when I started playing, and that was one of the things I noticed.



I've turned the gore off, and on. I've performed killing blows with multiple characters. In all that time, I've seen 2 blood sprays, and my characters never get touched by blood.

For Authorization issues, just wait up to an hour at the main menu with yourself logged into your Bioware Account. It will eventually authenticate with the server. I assume console, Steam as well as PC users all use the same authentication servers resulting in a flood of authentication requests from users.

[Balder84]

Would just like to clarify.......



Are there still crashes in Origins, and are they only related to the casting of some spells?



also, do you guys consider awakening playable in 1.04? - as I pre-ordered it but never picked it up because I could not get through origins.



Otherwise I'm glade to hear 1.04 is an improvement.

Hehe, I love people who rush to install the latest patches. They're like lab mice and don't even realize it.

I'll be waiting for 4.0a or whatever the hotfix will be called. Kudos to Bioware for putting so much work into this latest patch though. I can't wait for the all clear to install it.

Bioware.

Without said people, there would be no new patch, stop laughing at them and applaud them for taking the initiative to root out any remaining problems that need to be fixed.

Yes it is bad that PAYING CUSTOMERS have to do the Beta Testing but do keep in mind it can't possibly be cheap to buy 10,000 different computer parts and the man power to reconfigure computers all the time to test every possible hardware configuration, neither is it possible to do that in a timely manner.

Then you have to test the majority of software/driver configurations... good luck there.

Hey victor, how about you fix the textrues on some of

Yeah, I don't think that's part of
Victor's job description. Any way, not extensively tested this patch,
but it's worrying that the crashing persists. I'm just waiting then for
this to affect me. If it does, I'm shelving this and just going with the
xbox version... very sad.

When I mean you, I
mean Bioware. Also victor, you haven't responded to a week old post in
which you'd tell me you'd answer me something. Not very cool on your
part.

Instead of being nasty you could have used the forum Private Messaging system to remind him. I doubt he will feel like helping you after you have been nasty to him.

Really??  First time I am hearing this.  It is listed as a bug, still, over at the wiki site (http://dragonage.wik...'s_Roguish_Past).  Can you explain, and does anyone else have any input here?

They were both quite playable before the patches.  I completed both with three different characters.  I never had crashing issues, but experienced a few non game breaking bugs like armor graphics, Silverlight Mines and Sigrun's quest....

AWAKEning was playable with 1.03 only some minor quest weren't working as should... and  "big bug" but on my 3 times playing it never found it (the bug on the wood)

[Bulgaroktonos]

Is anybody else having a issue where all the Awakening items have reverted to database item references or something?



Potent Stamina potions are referred to as something like 'grrx-0101-????-????'



Thoughts?

Why do you think I'm posting here? I've reminded all last week about something he'd say he'd do for me, he hasn't even the decency to respond and say "ok look, I can't do anything"

Awesome, thanks.

Let me say this....................."Just how many times can you beat the game?......Sheesh............Just because there is a new patch, does that mean you are going to start from scratch and play the game again? You're gonna end up with the same equipment and kill the dragon or the mother at the end. Just wait for Dragon Age 2 and don't worry about the darn patches.

Ahh, I see. There's a limit to how many times someone should beat a game before shelving it. Personally, I can beat it another 50 times and still not be tired of playing it. It's called enjoying a game. Believe it or not some of us do actually enjoy playing the same game repeatedly.


In other news, it appears this patch won't break my game like the last few patches have. I might actually be able to play more than 30 minutes without the game crashing once I download it. Yay!

[ZaroktheImmortal]

Okay, I installed the patch and now it says most of my downloadable content is "unauthorized" seriously what the hell just happened.

One possibility is that your firewall may be blocking net access for the new patched DAO exe.

[Gaxhung]

Hi Bioware,

Still a problem with the intro logo animation causing machine to freeze when program focus changes to desktop.

Here is what happened. My Zonealarm firewall asked for permission as game is loading up, it takes focus away from DAO to show a dialog box about allowing net access. 1st one ask for internet access, way at the start of loading, so no issues. The 2nd one asks about DAO accepting internet access from outside, this happened while the red dragon intro logo movie is playing. This caused my PC to freeze, tried this 2 times, can be replicated.

Easily solved by simply allowing access manually in Zonealarm before game launch. But please make note of this for DA2.

Thanks.

Well, it never had this problem before. And it looks like I'm not the only one having this problem. Seems like this new patch screws up the downloadable content.

[swordmaster2k1]

The release of this patch is MUCHO appreciated. However, I'm still getting some pretty frequent crashes to desktop at fairly random times. Anyone have any clues as to why?

[Gaxhung]

@ZaroktheImmortal

I was just guessing, I don't really know the reason for that problem. sowee.



As for my own perdicament, 2 PC freezes, and now not 3 minutes in Lothering, game crashes. I see nothing changed.

[Plagiarist]

I had an issue where the main menu was slowing down immensely, and at times frozen with the words loading flashing in the bottom right corner. It was solved by using Steam's Verify integrity of game cache option (right click game, properties, local files). Hope this saves someone a headache.
