Hi Everyone
 
We know that people are waiting on more patching to fix issues they are having with Dragon Age II. We have said previously that we are working on patching for all 4 platforms (PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3), but we have not yet given any detail about what this patch will contain nor when it will be available. We greatly appreciate your patience as we work to fix issues with Dragon Age II and ensure that these fixes do not introduce new issues to the game. To help keep you updated on the status of the next patch (the first patch for PC and Mac Dragon Age II can be found HERE) we wanted to provide you with a more detailed message on the next Dragon Age II patch.
 
BioWare has prepared a patch for PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. We are currently testing the patch and are submitting it for certification with EA, Microsoft and Sony. Certification is where testing teams outside of BioWare confirm the fixes we make and ensure that no new issues are introduced. We continue to test the patch during the certification process to ensure quality. Once the patch has passed certification, it is then released to the public. We do not have a more exact ETA of when it will be available to you, but when we do know when it is available, we will let everyone know.
 
We cannot reveal to you the exact contents of the patch until it passes certification. We can say that there are more than 100 fixes including gameplay, quest and platform specific issues. We can also say that the implementation of auto-attack on both Xbox 360 and PS3 is included. When we can reveal the patch notes, we will let everyone know.
 
BioWare is dedicated to continuing to support Dragon Age II. We thank our community members who have helped our team fix issues by providing details and reports on the problems they are having. We appreciate your patience and your support.

soooo... why aren't the PCs getting a beta patch like last time?

the 1.01 patch had very little depth; the changes were minor and to systems that would not affect users. The 1.02 patch, conversely, is quite large and has changes to very volatile areas of the code so we want to make sure it goes through all the hoops before its mass distributed.

The PC patch is not being held up by the console ones, they are all being certified independent of one another.

Meaning they won't all come out at the same time, but when each one is independently certified. 

Right?

Correct. (technically they still could, but it would be a coincidence )

[Luke Barrett]

I will (re)confirm that this will not be delayed due to the status of the console patches.

Any chance the patch will be out before April 30?

Considering you need to launch DA2 to redeem that nice ME2 download Bioware has offered, that'd be swell.

Yes. It will be out long before the 30th

Please try to keep the discussion on topic (I'm looking at you, framerate people <_<).

As for the patch, it's out of our hands now so it all depends how quickly the 1st partys certify it. That said, based on my experience with such processes, I would say while it's *possible* that you could see it this week, next week is much more likely (and I'm 95% sure it won't be over the weekend)

Aren't you the "first party" for the PC patch?  Isn't the PC patch supposedly not being held up by the console certification people?

Depends on exactly what you consider 'first party' I suppose. We (BioWare) have to send all 3 platforms through certification with EA and the console ones also have to pass Microsoft and Sony, respectively, as well (this happens simultaneously).

So in other words, while the PC version has to go through less certifications, since the cert teams are all working in parallel, the PC patch won't necessarily be released any faster than the console versions if EA cert takes the longest.

Correct. Typically the PC one goes through much faster but it's not always the case. I'm actually checking every few hours to see if it's out yet just in case (though I suspect someone on BSN will know and post about it before me somehow )
