I swear some people just believe EA is made up of corporate fat cats in suits with devil horns laughing evily around a huge boardroom table.

I miss the days where one dude eating cheetos and drinking Jolt would hotfix the game at 2:57 AM approximately 3 hours and 17 minutes after a serious bug was discovered. Sure, once in a while you'd get new problems. But the way it works now a lot of the core audience is either finished or mostly finished with the game by the time big issues are addressed. Having bugs fixed very quickly 95% of the time and making things worse 5% of the time is hugely better than having bugs fixes very slowly and only making things worse 1% of the time. Note: consoles are different and there are good reasons why the above doesn't apply.

Also, you kids get off my lawn.

I have a fellow staffer who has a buddy that works at EA. He wouldn't tell me a name or what level he works there at but he did tell me that they are just evil in every sense. From how they run the buisness to how they treat employees. This is just second hand info but he also told me that PC gamers aren't at the top of thier list. After hearing all of that, this all makes perfect sense. Maybe Bioware should change publishers if and when a contract expires.

EA owns Bioware. The only way they could change publishers is if another company bought them from EA.

Or if EA allowed them to go independent again - ala Bungie/Microsoft - but I doubt that would happen, as much as I want it to.

I had just finished the game last week despite the Isabella/Sebastian issues (I basically didn't touch their personal quests, where Isabella left my party). I also had to replay several areas over again due to other issues as well. I want to play several more play throughs, however I want to use both Seb and Isa , so I'm waiting for this patch before doing so.

I'm starting to feel withdrawal symptoms from going DA2 cold turkey

Awaiting patch for my DA2 fix.....

[IamNemrok]

LOL - yeah at work I'm listening to the soundtrack in my office.

We will get our fix soon

[Merwanor]

I have not played the game past Act 1 yet. I am starting to go crazy waiting for this patch. If it where not for Shogun 2 TW i would have gone mad.

There is a community made workaround for the sebastian/isabella conflict.  Note this is only a workaround, as it simply removes the friendship/rivalry bonuses from the game.  These bonuses aren't really that necessary, and you can definatly play the game without them.

I've just bought the game not knowing that i wont be able to max out the graphic settings on my GTX 570 until this damn patch is released. Theres no way im gonna start playing it on a crap graphics setting. I set it to DX11 'very high' detail and it went t*ts up:)
It seemed ok on just 'high' detail. But i didn't pay over £250 on a graphics card for just 'high'!
Oh well, hopefully we'll get it in the next day or two, in time for the weekend would be nice

[enigma8675309]

Be aware that when the patch does come out it may tank all of our saved games.
I do not know if this will be the case,but with a patch this big who knows for sure.
It would not be the first time that a big patch makes saved games invalid.
Just thinking out loud.

I would cry.

I would be really happy that Zevran loves my Warden again, but I would be crushed that I'd have to restart my perfect, perfect mage!Hawke. I mean, I already finished his story! Twice! If he breaks due to the upcoming patch, that would be eighty hours of gaming right down the tubes! *siiiigh*

I've already resigned myself to the fact that I'll probably have to play
all three of my Hawke's over again (completed one, got to act three
with the second, got to the end of two with the last, all using
different saves at the start of the game to see if that would make a
difference) if I want my romances from the first game to transfer over,
and I do. 

I DO like the game but...I'm not looking forward to doing them all again either, so I feel you.

That'd be a terrible thing if the patch invalidated save games. I imagine devs try to hack up the system as much as possible to prevent players from having to wipe their saves, so if the patch did that (intentionally), whatever they changed would have to be pretty serious.

Very unlikely that it would invalidate any saves. I wouldn't worry about it.

well they did say it was gonna be a pretty big patch and considering all the bugs in the game well...lets just say i'm not surprised this patch is big

Bad news for you, my friend, but you must have other issues. My GTX 570 runs game on highest settings just fine.

Make sure you have the latest beta driver.

[BlackMamba9000]

i got the latest beta driver but the game still stutters in very high resolution but i found a solution just leave the mouse on the skill bar and the fps will shoot right up to 40-60 fps it works for me just saying to help at least for anyone who's dying to play DA2

[vania z]

any chance we'll get patch on this weekend?

[Nazo]

It's more likely that a patch wouldn't fully apply to existing save games (i.e., to get all the bug fixes you'd need to start a new game.) Totally trashing existing save is very, very unlikely. It's the wrong type of game for that. (You see that more in games designed to be repeated, like Civ V)

And this weekend, I doubt it. It's easier for companies to release patches early in a week so that if something goes horribly wrong, they don't need to find people over the weekend to fix it.
