Good news - Later today (March 1, 2012), we'll be releasing our third major update to Dragon Age II across all platforms. Full details and the download link will be posted on our patch page as Patch 1.04.

This one's smaller than our previous two, clocking in at around 25 fixes. Some of these address critical issues such as crashes or save game corruptions while others simply add to or improve the Dragon Age experience, unlocking a bunch of new follower banters in our Legacy DLC, for instance, or offering better handling of ambient audio when switching between followers.

Note that the BioWare Social Network will be experiencing some unrelated maintenance tonight. The timing's a little unfortunate as it will temporarily limit your ability to manually download the patch and comment here on the self-help forums. That said, we decided it was best to release the patch today regardless.

Here are the full cross-platform patch notes - enjoy!:

Dragon Age II 1.04

GAMEPLAY
  • The effect of the Sunder ability now persists properly when saving and loading the game.
QUESTS (SPOILER WARNING)
  • When Isabela is present in "Magistrate's Orders", Bethany no longer receives incorrect friendship or rivalry points for resolving Kelder's fate.
  • In "Magistrate's Orders", Carver now receives +5 frienship if Fenris kills Kelder or +10 friendship if the player does so.
  • Isabela no longer has a plot marker in the post-game save if the player failed to complete "No Rest for the Wicked".
  • Aveline's head no longer vibrates in "Finders Keepers" when conversing with the warehouse guard.
FUNCTIONALITY
  • Players who choose not to log in will no longer be presented with recurring Lost Connection errors.
  • Certain ambient audio no longer cuts in and out when switching between characters.
DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT - "THE EXILED PRINCE"
  • Sebastian's plot marker, if present, is now removed when bringing him into other downloadable content.
DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT - "LEGACY"
  • Players are no longer able to re-use the Memento of Legacy to access the Legacy downloadable content multiple times in a single playthrough.
  • Players now receive an item reward when completing "Malcolm's Honor" with Carver in the party.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing close to 200 banter lines between Hawke and the followers not to fire.
  • Fixed a case where certain follower banter wouldn't appear when playing from a post-game save.
  • Isabela's romance banter now properly checks to see if the player is still eligible for romance with her.
  • Fenris's romance banter now properly checks to see if Fenris and the player slept together but have not yet made up in Act 3.
  • A ghostly Bethany no longer joins in conversations from beyond the grave.
  • Sebastian and Anders no longer talk about Bethany or Carver as if they're not present.
  • Carver no longer mentions his and Hawke's mother after her death.
DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT - "MARK OF THE ASSASSIN"
  • We have fixed a save-game corruption issue that was occurring for a small number of users in the autosave immediately following the dungeon  capture scene.
PC/MAC-SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITY
  • Players can now disable the snap feature for area-of-effect attacks by holding the 'shift' key.
  • Improved resource loading and memory handling in conversation to address sporadic crashes occurring for some users. The bulk of the resulting crashes were occurring in the conversation after the Isabela sex scene in Hawke's Estate and a conversation with Aveline in the Viscount's Keep, after she was promised the job as Captain.
  • Improved handling of login, messaging, and authentication during periods of server disruption.
XBOX 360-SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITY
  • Improved resource loading and memory handling in conversation to address sporadic crashes occurring for some users. The bulk of the resulting crashes were occurring in the conversation after the Isabela sex scene in Hawke's Estate and a conversation with Aveline in the Viscount's Keep, after she was promised the job as Captain.
  • Triggered autosaves now number themselves correctly, ensuring that they're correctly loaded when players choose to "Reload last save".
  • Sebastian no longer gets stuck as a locked party member after the completion of his quests.
  • Save games will now load properly after switching between Xbox profiles.
PS3-SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITY
  • Sebastian no longer gets stuck as a locked party member after the completion of his quests.

That isn't the save corruption most people were experiencing and for the PS3 it didn't even touch (nor really mention) the save corruption everyone was complaining about. It's like you guys don't even listen to us about what's wrong...

We applied the fix across all platforms but I can confirm that this was to address the specific Mark of the Assassin corruption issue that some PS3 users have been reporting.

What exactly is this about? What "snap feature"?

When targeting AoE attacks, the reticle will stick on any enemy if the cursor gets close enough.

With Shift held down, it will no longer snap to targets, allowing you to aim at any point within range.

Does the server maintenance include login? The game tells me that the servers are down.

You know it's really great that they released a patch months (must be like 8 months...) later but it still doesn't fix other bugs mentioned on here... Guess support is dropped on those quest related bugs >.>

"It's not a bug it's a feature!"

EDIT: Appears I am mistaken, if what I read from disassembling your patch is correct, you've also taken into account several other issues that were plaguing the game. Sketch's quest line looks to be fixed, proper flag is finally set. Appears this covers a lot more than you're letting on!

Applied patch and now my Hawke has no body inside his armor and armor appearance is glitched. Yuck. And did you ever fix the "N-1" "go to" tactics glitch?

If you have mods, it may be that a mod is not compatible with the patch and, that is hardly Bioware's/EA's fault. Try removing your mods and see if that fixes the problem with the missing body.

Great, so now I have to play Legacy another bunch of times to hear the new 200+ lines of banter dialog??

Ah well, needed something to keep me busy until Mass Effect 3 :D

Exactly!  And I'd better be sure to make a Save named:  "Just Before Legacy" so that I can find it again,
since I'll no longer be able to re-play at will within the same continuing playthrough! Posted Image

Definitely have to do Legacy with each combo of companions and, I have to do it as a mage and a rogue at least, need Beth and Carver :)

HOLY CRAP,

that MUCH dialogue was missing in Legacy, and only now, after 8 months we get a fix? Sorry BioWare, I'm a little disappointed here...
Well, better late then never, and kudos for keeping support on a "half-failed" game for that long. :)

 Has the Zevran romance cameo been fixed yet? That's probably the most jarring import bug for me. :?

Sorry no mods. Pure as the wind-driven snow. Of course I'm playing on a Mac, so instead of "Bioware's/EA's fault," it might be Transgaming's fault. We Mac users are the bottom feeders!

And are you running it boot camped? Might need to update and re work things a bit. I'm not that great with Macs but, my granddaughter plays on one. She mentioned having to do something with boot camping to get it to work right.
