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 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.

Awesome. Thanks.

[Fiery Phoenix]

Great news. Thanks!

I only have Mark of the Assassin left at this point, which I plan to get to very soon.

[bpsuite]

AWESOME!
Thank you SO MUCH, Bioware!

[Asch Lavigne]

Would also like to extend my thanks for the updates.

This is really awesome but I have to ask, does the romance banter for Merrill and other party members trigger properly after completing the "Malcolm's Will" quest in Legacy?

I know it is stated in the post that new lines of banter have been unlocked but since you mentioned only Fenris and Isabella specifically I was just wondering.

Wow. To be honest, I didn't think some of these issues were ever going to get resolved. Glad to see I was wrong.

Thanks!

The issues with the Fenris and Isabela banters occurred due to some strange and ambiguous syntax used in their banter scripts. This syntax has been made much clearer. as far as I remember, Merrill's banter did not have this syntax issue and should remain unchanged.

[Priisus]

Anybody knows how big (file size) the patch is?

Edit: Oh and thanks for finally fixing Sunder

Thank you for the reply, but I remember quite well that when I once brought Merrill along (romanced), didn't bring a sibling and Isabella is the one that spoke instead of her.

Regardless, I will check later on and report it if it still doesn't trigger.

I dislike not being able to tell people what I'm working on, but it does result in pleasant surprises like this sometimes. Thank you for your support!

I bought the last (?) DLC for this game right after I heard this. It's good to play this game again with a fresh mind, new content and a new patch.

[Dr Nilsson]

Thanks for the patch ^^. Now if we only could get a big "expansion pack" or DLC.

[Range Rover]

Thanks Bioware I knew you guys/gals would come through for us.

[LyndseyCousland]

Nice but nothing on the save import situation? It's frustrating that I don't have some way of changing those confused flags.

[TinkerKimmi]

My 360 account keeps telling me there's an update (version 1.03) but how the hell do I get it to update?? Any help would be appreciated...

[caradoc2000]

The 360 should update automatically the first time you launch the game after an update is released (if Live connected). If you are concerned about the title screen message, mine does it too and I've already updated.

[TinkerKimmi]

Ah so it's just doing it to confuse me!! That's a bit mean but there you have it... And thank you I think you just saved what's left of my sanity lol =)

[danteliveson]

Just started another playthrough!!

Thanks, I was just having the same problom.

[Wonderllama4]

so I assume this is the last patch we'll ever see for Dragon Age 2?

[Rockonslaught 1]

Thanks for never fixing the Wayward Son glitch yet pretending like you did!
