The nasty and potentially game-breaking bugs I'd like to never come up against again, DAO:

- the non-triggering nighttime zombie battle at Redcliffe;

DAA:

- the cell door that won't open and the vanishing gear, both in the silverite mine;

and DLC:

- unexplodable oil barrel at Alienage (Darkspawn Chronicles).

*** 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.


Hate to quote myself, but here is the link about the bug in question.  It basically ruins a dozen what should be great items in the game.

EDIT:  Have I said yet how much I appreciate you guys doing this?  Well, I do!

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?


No, it wasn't. I actually did put that on the list at some point but it somehow disappeared - it's back now, sorry for the confusion.

Anyways, SAVE/LOAD is a term that refers basically to just loading the area again in most cases. If it required a full restart of the client I would specify that.

Has it been specified that the vanishing gear in Silverite Mines is (seemingly) tied to the DAO DLC items that do get imported to DAA? And that currently the best workaround is to unequip said items, so they show up at the later point with all the rest of unequipped gear?

Yeah I read that the Ozamar Key to the City item was one that caused the problem, and of course who doesn't equip that.

Just for clarification, for the Runes issues, is it just that certain vs. enemy type runes arent working?

"Bug! There is a bug with runes vs. creature type (Cold Iron, Silverite) and passive resistance (Dweomer, Hale) Masterpiece and Paragon tier weapon runes. They are erroneously flagged as Armor Runes in Dragon Age: Awakening. Cold Iron and Silverite do not trigger either with melee or ranged weapons when inserted into armor slots. However, both Dweomer and Hale grant the resistance bonuses normally. "

or are there other issues in DAA+ with runes that I need to be aware of.

Yes. dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Novice_Barrier_Rune

Barrier rune tracings can't be bought in vanilla DAA.

Awesome, thanks. Im thinking I'll have all these issues filed by the end of the week and we'll be able to start working on solutions after that. Hopefully we can get a good chunk of these remedied, obviously it may not be feasible to do them all but I'll at least try to push that idea B)

I run DA:O Ultimate on Steam. I can't play it anymore because it constantly crashes. I've just built a new computer so no bloatware, viruses, etc. I have Windows 7 64 Ultimate, 8g of memory, Athlon X3 450, AMD 5830 GPU, AsRock 870 Extreme3 MB. Can't be my system that's causing the problems.

It's awesome to see you guys at BioWare giving the technical issues in DA:O some attention even after the release of DAII. I sincerely hope that a decent patch results from this.

I have a small issue if it can be looked into. My game was playing fine until I finished Awakening. After that I started a new game and now it keeps crashing. I started a new game with 1.04 and without Awakening been completed and its fine but not after finishing Awakening. I getting new parts so maybe it was memory issue but Dragon Age 2 plays perfectly. I get a lot of freezing/pausing - sometimes 2 in one minute and others it could be 1 in 2 hours. Another issue that seems to happen a lot to me is Uldred abomination appearing after I completed the Magi Circle quest. It happened once five times in one play through. The circle was saved but the abomination kept coming back . I having some problems with the fade. If I don't change back to my character form when I go to save a companion, I often end up saving my companion again and again. This sometimes happens three times before it is finally lets me move on. Last one why do the mages sometimes kill each other? I watched a whole scene where instead of attacking me all the mages killed each other! I just walked through and waited. It is very predictable and happens every time in the fade for me. I have no mods installed.

I got the Ultimate version and will check.

I wanted to ask if you're going to look into codes issues for Dragon Age: Awakening. The main one is with Arlessa Isolde and Connor quest (in codex it states that both/one of them died when you tried to save them -> http://dragonage.wik.../Arlessa_Isolde )
Another one would be with post campaign save for Awakening. It's causing a lot of trouble because you have to destroy Amaranthine or otherwise companions who stayed at Vigil's Keep will be marked as dead in codex, even if they survived according to epilogue.

I know it have little involvement with DA2 but wanted to start it with clear and "shiny" story as I wanted it to be... or is there any editor avilable that could allow me to change entries in my save? Would be grateful.

Far as I can tell, any DLC item equipped by either the Warden or a companion can trigger the bug, whether the item was imported or not.

That issue with the post campaign saves I'm going to push as being critical as it currently has ramifications in DA2 with Nathaniel. As for the other one, is it just the codex entry that is wrong or is there actually a plotflag that is getting set incorrectly?

I have got this bug. Is there any way to deal with it without loading my savegame before taking that buggy quest?

I forgot to mention: the crash when trying to open the door to defeat the boss in watchguard of the reaching. Reloading normally works but it is irritating to reload again.

Some talents/weapons/properties broken

- Crossbows don't have an attribute modifier. Is this intentional?

Shale's Rock Barrage -> Notes

- Find Vitals

- Shattering Blows

- Ranged Attack Speed Bugs

- This mod fixes two quite annoying vanilla DAO mechanisms
      --Automatically apply party buffs to new summons and resurrected party members!
      --Item set bonuses apply immediately when party members are swapped in! No need re-equip!

- Summoned pets deactivate after area transition

- What about some properties not working on weapons/armor/etc? "weakens nearby darkspawn", "messy kills", "increases hostility and intimidation", "monetary gain", "healing received" ?

- ... ?

From my experience, all the ctd ive been subject to is when its about to load another area, most specificly, leaving loitering or whatever that area is called. No matter what os iv been playing at or hardware, in 4 of 5 cases i crashes there, which is so irritating its also when i rage and uninstall :whistle:

I figured as much. But I happened to have a recent save. I only needed to redo the main alienage quest again.

In case anyone is wondering, I'm adding tracking numbers to each issue as I file them to make it easier to get additional information on each one later should we need it.

(please dont read too much in to the number order or if certain ones dont have a number at all, it doesnt necessarily mean I didnt file them)

Alright so I've got the list (http://social.biowar...37421/3#7215629) done for now and entered in to our system. I put the issue # at the start of each bug for easy reference point when sending me files and what not.

So, for now I just need output from the config tool for anyone having CTDs in Win7 x64 [69380] as well as those having the combat lag (not FPS issues) [69381]. To generate this file you need to use the Launcher and click the 'Configure' option (before hitting Play) this will load the config tool; simply select File > Save to generate an .xml wherever you want to save it. If you have this file for me, send me a PM and ill give you an email to send it to.

I'll get to anything else that we need as it comes up.
