"Communication from Bioware is the fist thing that comes to mind Rob. My experience with this game has been the worst i have ever had, and feeling left in the dark didn't help - nether did EA tech support. Your post here is what id like to see more of."

"Two thoughts:
(1) It might help if folks could attach a text file of their system specs when reporting bugs
(2) Folks should indicate whether or not any mods are installed"

<-------agrees with these statements.

I have a problem that I can't seem to get an answer for.  I'm a big fan of the DragonAge games, to the point that I up graded my CPU to be able to play them.  I haven't had any real difficulties till now.  My problem is this.  I reciently purchased the DLC " Witch hunt" which requires me to upgrade to the 1.04 patch located here: http://social.biowar...page/da-patches .  Unfortunatly everytime I have tried to use this patch, (and I've tried just about everything) the audio on the game, only, fails.  Is there anything anyof you can suggest that can fix this problem? I'm running an AMD Athalon 64 CPU 4000+ 2.4GHz prossesor, 3GB RAM  and  Realtek AC'97 audio.

This isn't intended to be a tech support thread. It's more for posting suggestions of things you'd like to see fixed in a future patch for the game. You should consider starting a thread for your problem here instead:

I mostly only have good things to say about this game however there is one major issue I have that many others have had (theres even a thread about it on this forum). Whenever there is a large amount of enemies there is really bad combat lag, and what I mean by that is the framerate is perfectly fine and you can cast spells and stuff but it's as if the game can't keep up and if you cast an ability it doesn't actually take effect until 5 - 10 seconds later. Spells like shock or chain lighttning you can cast them and it but it wont actually show the lightning animation until 10 seconds later or so. Like I said it's as if the scripting can't keep up with the animations. Apparently it could be related to the memory leak but I've never really had a problem with memory leaks in this game so I'm not so sure it is that. People with many different systems have this problem so it's pretty well known and I think something to look into for the patch.

Awakening, or:  part II

Well, apart from the technical problems in part I, this will now express the buginess of Awakening.

I could make an entire list. Starting by this messed up codex page (various missing), great balance and talents issues, gift issues (Oghren, anyone), Quest issues (Rumblings from beneath and others), DLC importing issues and AGAIN: plot flag issues etc.; however, I found the wiki page for it, which depicts the issues far better than I could.

dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Bugs_%28Awakening%29

Don't forget (all bugs which _shouldn't_ be in the game):
- "Most powerful enemy slain" is blank when importing a character in the character tab. This also applies when importing to GoA or WH.
- Rune fixes www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php
- Vigilance and Valos Atredum mesh fixes. www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php There is no fix for the Valos Atredum, however this weapons' model needs to be fixed, as it faces in the wrong direction when wielded!
- Daisycutter: Wrong model used! dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Daisycutter (-> Trivia)

---------------------------------------------------

^ The above poster is right about the combat lagginess. But that's a problem with the technical site of DAO.
Also, there are various problems with the combat:
www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php and/or

Just to make life easier:

Well first, THANK YOU!

Second, if you are looking for bugs to fix how abou the Ancient Elven Armor Boots bug and DAA mine (missing all items) bug. One is just annoying, the other game breaking.

Ideally I'd love to see the Win 7 64bit issues that cause frequent crashes finally sorted along with the most frequently reported Awakenings bugs, it might also help to add the various issues/fixes found in these threads to the knowledgebase/FAQs held by EA over on their support site since a lot of the time that's where players get sent.

If possible it'd also be nice to see the DRM tweaked to allow for one time authorisation on DLCs since it'd remove the risk of another server problem causing days of frustration for players (and undoubted headaches for you guys).

Finally maybe adding something to PC players profiles for them to enter their system specs, that way you guys would have an easier time identifying common issues with specific hardware/drivers.

Good luck with it and congrats to RaenImrahl.

- [69449] Memory Leak issues
DAO:

- [69382] Ancient Elven Armor Boots are supposed to show up in the closet in the Lothering Chantry, but they don't. It's a PC only bug.
- [69383] 'Zombie fight' during Redcliffe Night doesn't fire in rare cases
- [69442] some properties not working on weapons/armor/etc? "weakens nearby darkspawn", "messy kills", "increases hostility and intimidation", "monetary gain", "healing received" ?
- various plotflag errors
- various conversation errors
(big thanks to Ejoslin who provided me with a very indepth list of both of these things)
- [69490] Rogue's 'Find Vitals' isn't working
- [69491] Warrior's 'Shattering Blows' isn't working
- [69486] Crossbows not gaining any benefit from attributes

DAO UE:

- [69451] achievement consistancy across locations
- [69384] autologin always has a "please try again" error, requiring you to re-enter your password
- [69386] can't upload characters/screenshots to BSN
DAA:

- [69389] If you don't allow Amaranthine to be destroyed companions who stayed at Vigil's Keep will be marked as dead in codex, even if they survived according to epilogue.
- [69485] Sigrun's Joining Issues
- [69390] If you have started or completed 'Law and Order', you cannot initiate Sigrun's Roguish Past
- [69483] Velanna's Joining Issues
- [69391] Silverite Mine stealing character's equipment indefinitely
- [69392] Dworkin takes all three Lyrium sands and only counts as one for 'Bombs Away!' quest
- [69422] Templar's Heraldry turns in to Redcliffe Heraldry when used
- [69423] Legion of Dead heraldry gives +20 all stats
- [69424] Rogue Warden is unable to detect traps (really?)
- [69439] barrier rune tracing cannot be purchased
- [69438] the vs.creature type runes are flagged as armor instead of weapon
- [69453] Anders' gift only gives one approval point
- [69425] If you use [Esc] to stop the ending, then you read the epilogue, you get a bug that causes the "killing the Mother" cutscene to play on an infinite loop after the credits.
- [69427] Chose to execute the Darkspawn that helped save Ameranthine, yet he is shown as alive in the end credits helping others
- [69428] Even after the Warden speaks to each of the three leading figures after their taking back of Vigil's Keep, the quest 'The Awakening' does not register that Mistress Woolsey has been spoken to.
- [69429] In Rumblings from Beneath: Despite Kendrick saying he owes you a reward, and the journal reporting that he did so the quest actually gives you no reward
- [69431] In Rumblings from Beneath: Despite both quests giving you access to the hatch in the Crown and Lion, this quest is only obtainable after you finish Smuggler's Run. If you complete Law and Order this quest will be unobtainable
- [69435] Oghren's gift ratings are wrong when importing from DAO
- [69453b] Velanna's Elven Trinket approval ratings are wrong
- [69437] Manual of Focus is awarding additional skill points for imported characters
- [69448] Random Encounter map issues
- [69447] Random encounters not firing easily
- [71511] When choosing to kill the Qunari merchant "Armaas" in the Silverite Mines, he still shows up erroneously at Vigil's Keep later in the game.


There are a few other things that are issues but most of them have easy work arounds such as a quick save/load. As for anything with model/art changes: afaik these will not be getting fixed (I'll double check but that was my understanding)

Hi Luke,

can you also add this, for DAO:UE

1) DLC Achievements - the achievements (and supposedly said items) are
unlocked in our online profile, but a "semi-unlocked" status in the
game. The icon is lighted up, has a date when it was achieved, but has a
status of Locked. Some achievements don't have the icon lighted up but has a date of when it was achieved. The effect is that we have to get the achievements
again before creating a new character or loading the items to an
existing one. Once the achievements are unlocked for the nth time, then
should save those new/existing chars.

2) Autologin always have a "please try again" popping out, and have to input the pw again.

3) Can't upload characters/screenshots (not a game bug, but more of a server issue i suppose?)

Hey Luke, would it be possible to make an automatic autosave immediately after slaying the mother and the harvester?

Please fix the Ancient Elven Armor Boots bug. They are supposed to show up in the closet in the Lothering Chantry, but they don't. It's a PC only bug.

Right now the only way I can get the full suit is to use a player made mod.

Thanks.

Yes, and to be clear, this is simply a list of issues we have on file, not a list of promised fixes. We still need to assess and investigate all of these, identify and implement potential fixes, and then test and verify any resulting changes.

This list is a very important first step, however, and we appreciate all of the help you've been providing. I know Luke has already been pinging some of you for more information about your specific issues. Save games, install logs, and config tool reports are a big help when it comes to tracking down some of the more elusive issues so please have those prepared and make them available where appropriate.

Another thing that would help is if you could verify the issues you're reporting with all community-created mods temporarily removed. Mods are great and most of them are perfectly safe but they are officially unsupported, out of our control, and can result in a range of issues that may be getting mis-reported as bugs in the game itself. As an example, on DA2, various users were reporting corrupted map interfaces after installing our recently released patch and it turned out to be tied to interference from a community created mod that added new icons to the dialog wheel. I doubt there are very many cases of this remaining on DAO but it's extremely helpful to us if you can rule that out in advance.

Thank you for your continued help and patience,
Rob

Just to add my concerns on the topic of fixes and patches.  After reading the list of catelogued feedback and basing this after Jean-Funk Van Damme's post, the Memory Leak(or CPU) issue was not updated into the list.  Im unsure if this was accidental or not, but something in the list did strike me:

If this is indeed directed at the memory leak(or CPU) issue, then sure, it does fix it temporarily but should a consumer really have to reload their game every 30-60 minutes to have their product working to a satisfactory standard?

*** What about the items that are supposed to add percentages to Healing Effects Received. Those never work as the formula starts at -100% and you have to have items that in total increase the effect over +100% to get any effect at all. Several of the very expensive items have this ability added but it's useless, thus making a very expensive item equally useless.

Just a quick update, I forgot to say that I uninstalled all mods and the combat delay is still there so it's definitely not caused by mods.

I know that importing a Warden who did the US into DA2 through Awakening works, but since you're looking into things, it could have been great if one could create an Orlesian Warden when importing such a savegame into Awakening...
It's not likely to happen, mainly because savegames are probably not designed to deal with two characters, but I thought it was worth mentioning...

Edit: Oh, and speaking of consistency, maybe Leliana could be spared in the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest... At least by suppressing any deathblow in the area... Personnally, I don't mind if her head can be cut off. It's just I found some posts whining about it, so I thought it was an other unlikely (and not critical) correction to mention...
