As far as I know, no, other then saying they're working on it. In my experience devs state when the patch will be released when they're mostly done with it/done with it.
Well for some reason my last comment here has been removed so to bring up the point again I am now re downloading for the sixth time so far every time I've done this I've got about ten minutes further before a crash happens. I am now happy to say I am passed the main title 
, that was a joke I am not happy 
in fact this has been the worst gaming experience I've had yet.

Is tuesday the day of the week to expect patches?
Isnt there a certain day of week the patches come out? Regardless of game
I didn't know this thread existed as I rarely venture outside of certain areas of the forum but the Cassie romance brought me here. The actual romance/intimacy scene is bugged. It doesn't progress unless forced and then at a certain spot it freezes completely. That is asinine.
That isn't the only issue...there are sound pops, the game crashes and freezes TOO much. numerous scenes will not progress unless I try to force them to by pressing square. texture and graphic areas don't collate or populate correctly (at one point, Dorian's fabulous mustache is higher and thinner making him look SO weird yo). PS3 is my console. Physical copy. I pre-ordered...first time ever and every time this thing crashes I'm becoming more and more jaded. it ruins a LOT and there are no acceptable workarounds for a console. NONE. this needs to be fixed. This isn't just a few bugs and I honestly do not know how it was QA'd out the door or why. that is all I have to say on the matter.
(and I also greatly sympathize with the PC community as I hear most of them can't even play the game.)
Some have had game breaking issues however like the constant lagging and freezing : /
I'm in this boat. I get frequent system freezes after a fast-travel, and the PS button won't bring up the ribbon. The only issue is to reboot, then go through the whole PS3 system check cycle before I can play again. This really impedes the playability of the game.
Last night in the oasis I exited a dungeon with two party members holding veilfire torches and the famerate dropped to the point where it was stuttering badly (effectively un-playable). It took several minutes to bring up the radial menu and save. Upon exiting and reloading the save, the issue persisted. Going to look at the save files and see how far back I need to go… ouch.
This is aside from mid-air floating herbs, npcs clipping through objects during dialogues and a couple of pathfinding issues I've run into.
Last (newest) PS3 generation with a 500Gb hard-drive and no hacks or system mods in a well ventilated space.
I am a lifelong Bioware fanboy, so I'm sticking with it in hopes that a patch comes out "soon". However, it is trying my patience just a tiny bit, and if there isn't a patch forthcoming I don't know how much longer I'll stick with it.
I paid $70(limited edition) for this game...for this product. I feel ripped off. I feel I didn't get my moneys worth. Yes, you can patch and eliminate problems going forward...but that's GOING FORWARD. On LAUNCH day, this is a broken product. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for this. You're getting glowing reviews because people are reviewing this game on the consoles you spent the most time and effort on... PC and next gen. For the MILLIONS of people who still have their 360's...tough luck, right? You'll fix it when you get around to it, right? In a few months time it'll be all fixed, right? But for now...tough luck.
What I have seen on sites who sell the game in the customer reviews, they don't give lot of points to DAI on old gen versions. Even those who give point out that people should be prepared to bad graphics and some problems. Too bad that all game magazines and sites only use new gen versions. The new gen version of the game isn't really comparable to old gen especially graphic-wise. The experience is completely different.
That pretty much sums up my feelings on this whole issue Sylar 
I had such hope and excitement for this game and knew there would likely be a few issues, every game has them. But coming home after the midnight release to play that on my 360... I just felt very sad and disappointed. I would have rather them pushed back the release date to whenever they wanted if they could have just fixed the graphics and other issues that crop up on last gen consoles.
I still really love the game though! The characters, the plot, the creation detail! I just can't love it as completely because of the visual quality. It was hard enough to scrap up enough to pay for the game, there's no way I can afford an Xbox One and another copy of the game. I would be willing to just forgive and forget if Bioware could just offer a patch or download or extra disc or something to help fix these problems. Such as the low frame rate, clipping, selective muteness, game crashing, conversations freezing and low texture quality to name the ones I've been having the most trouble with.
Please Bioware, consider your consumers and fans on the last gen consoles.
40 hours, xbox 360, no major problems until now, Cassandra and Dorian dialogues freezing, need to skip and I'm not catching up what they're trying to say, sometimes it won't even let me skip. Will finish the game once and I won't play anymore until a patch is released. It's obvious it can run much better
I felt the need to make this post, even though reading through this thread I've already seen pretty much all my complaints cited and aired by others.
Dragon Age and Mass Effect are easily some of my favorite video game series. As a result of this, I have come to hold Bioware in very high esteem. No, none of their games are perfect. I remember the multiplayer of Mass Effect 3 causing frustration and headaches at times. But the issues present were because Bioware had never done a multiplayer component like that before, so it was their first attempt. Of course it wasn't going to be as smooth as Call of Duty or Halo...but for a first attempt it was pretty solid.
So, after waiting a LONG time for this game to finally come out(really the only game of 2014 that I REALLY wanted to play)...nothing could have prepared me for the utter disappointment I would find in Inquisition.
Was this game just not tested on the 360? Was there an impending deadline that couldn't be avoided? Was there pressure from higher-ups to get it out the door? How, on this planet we live on, could BIOWARE release THIS on the 360?? How?! This game is BARELY playable!! I've stayed in the multiplayer section because I was so disappointed with the horrendous looking single player. I would say a good 15% of all the multiplayer matches I've played couldn't be finished because of a game-breaking bug (keys for the next zone don't drop, enemies fall through the floor or don't spawn and the final zone can't be finished).
Yes, the connectivity is vastly improved over Mass Effect 3. You can get into lobbies MUCH faster and joining a game in progress isn't as slow either, so there are definite improvement. However...guys...what the hell is this? As a lover of this franchise and an ardent fan of your company you're breaking my heart and I'm losing my faith.

2014 game, nine year old hardware. It was a mistake for EA (I'm certain of this, given the huge install base for Xbox360 and PS3. I don't believe Bioware would choose to release a version that falls so far short of it's full potential) to release it on the older gen systems at all and expect it to be a quality experience. It's not something a patch can fix, unfortunately.
Not expecting it to be graphically even close to the new gen and pc versions,and to be honest don't care that much either- come to Bioware for interesting characters- just expecting it to play without freezing- crashing- disc unreadable error every ten minutes. Minimum requirement of any game ie that it plays!
I had some freezing in that scene and practically every time Stroud opened his mouth during the Warden mission. Just sit and wait for a minute or two and it will continue with no problem. Or, mine did anyway.
Ran into some more glitches with the ps3 version (Spoilers):
- In the western approach, the dialogue scene that plays after defeating the corrupt Grey Wardens is a total mess. 50% of the time I had to skip to the next dialogue because it wouldnt continue automatically and would just stop after each dialogue. And near the end of that scene, the scene simply stops moving foward at all and it just stops for like 2-3 minutes. I wasn't a rare occurence, I turned off my console thinking it had glitched out me and reloaded my save, until the 3rd time I decided to just give a couple of minutes and see what happens next. The same thing happened after the love scene with Cassandra.
- In the forbidden Oasis, the game all of a sudden made my characters and the world move in slowmotion or maybe it was lag. After several tries, I could finally pause the game and bring up the map without any lag, but when I went back to the game, it started going in slow motion/lag again. Had to reload an old save to fix the problem.
- Sometimes entering the War Room in Skyhold, the game will just glitch out and make the screen go dark. Dark, not black, I can still see my character and the door faintly.
- Game takes a bit time to render some areas and characters, especially in Skyhold. I've lost count of how many times I started a conversation where the NPC or squadmate face and clothes had low textures, because the games wasn't done rendering. Even though I had stopped for like 5 sec to let it finish rendering. Not just the npc's though, even the sorrounding areas at the beginning of a cutscenes if almost all black and white (cold colors), but will be fixed after a second or two once the game is done rendering that area.

Hey guys just reporting the experience i've had on my 500 gb ps3 super slim now that i'm 20 hours in.
So far its been smooth sailing besides the occasional texture not loading. The load times haven't been too bad as its usually been 30 seconds each time. It's only crashed once in the hinterlands when i was about 5 hours in but nothing after that. I think the game looks and runs fine otherwise for me. I did only get my ps3 a few months ago though so not much space is taken up of the 500 gb. I've been having a blast otherwise.
I'm sad to see others haven't been so lucky.

This is a reason for the graphics to not be as good, not an excuse for the basic code of the game to be broken.
If you read the first post, yes there is word on patch's, they will be patching and optimizing the technical issue's, as for the lag in the wide open area's with alot of activity, the PS3 can easily handle it, reducing textures is absolutely not necessary
All they have to do is optimise how the texture's load between and utilise the PS3 hardware better to pre-load those area's before you reach them specifcally in the memory stack
I have read every page of this thread. There remains some ambiguity as to what platforms and what issues are being patched.
Being offline improved it how? Less lag, better and faster loading textures, no audio issues, no glitches?
Texture pop-in is still extremely glaring. Lag is much improved. I only get lag in extremely large or busy areas.

Patch should still be able to fix bugs and clitches. There is many 2014 games that works just fine on old gen, it's just that BW seems to have done very heavy game for next gen instead of thinking how the game would play on old gen (atlhough they sell it to it too) and older PC's. I don't need games to be graphically top quality or be this big to be good so I don't understand the decision. They have designed heavy game that even on ultra on PC seems very demanding from what I have heard. That's what I don't understand, why do a game that properly works only in top-end hardware? That alienates lot of customers, or it would if they wouldn't still try to sell this game on old gen and PC's that meet mininum requirements.
Patch info here: http://forum.bioware...hes-on-the-way/
It seems there is 3 patches planned and first is coming quite soon.
Just been messaged by Conal Pierse for a full breakdown of what's been happening with my copy of Inquisition- let's face it trying to give a trouble shoot list to Mark Darrah on twitter was never gonna be easy... I mentioned at the end of the list of specs/problems I gave him that there is a lot of old gen guys who feel they are being ignored- so maybe that'll do some good and make them address us 360/ps3 people directly. Again I will await his and Mark Darrah's responses and let you guys know the outcome.
