I was so happy to read that they've fixed the banter bug... Until I realised that most likely the fix will only be for the PC version... :(

 

I'm going to use curse now so if you're sensitive, or underage please don't read the rest of my post...

I HOPE THEIR ****** EXPLODES! AND THEIR **** TOO!  :angry:  :angry:

Nice to have you back Octarin!

 

Are you sure they are saying that patch 3 is pc only? I thought that they meant, this is what patch 3 will do for pc and they'll tell us soon what it does for console...  IGN- ( I know they're so independently trustworthy, but...) they said "You can view the full list of the upcoming fixes in Patch 3 for PC below. Information for the console versions of Patch 3 will be made available in the near future." So Bioware haven't announvced yet what's coming in Patch 3 for console. I guess that's when we'll learn if the major problems we have are addressable.

 

Now, as I think they already know whether they are or not, and haven't assured us they are fixable, well, I'm guessing that a) we're outta luck, or b ) they really want us to understand that in the future this is how all customer service will be...

 

EA/Bioware are a major company with tech support- EA Help, but no complaints dept. No number you can call, no manager you can complain to, etc. What kind of a way is that to run a business? I've never worked for a large firm that doesn't have a way for you to complain about their products or service. They want feedback from this forum, but absolutely no accountability. And that is diabolical even if they fix the game.

 

148 signatures- please everyone help to keep generating signatures, at least till we know what they will actually be doing for the old gen consoles.

 

"You can find a comprehensive list of the upcoming fixes in Patch 3 for PC below. We’ll release more information on patches for consoles in the future, so stay tuned for more updates."

 

What's not to get? more information on patches for consoles. not more information for what THIS patch does for consoles. it's not for consoles. they actively called it PATCH 3 FOR PC. Wishful thinking can only take you so far.

Most likely the patch 3 is being hold up by certification process for consoles. It's slower to patch consoles than PC after all. I have seen the patch being called all platform patch as well, I think we have to just wait some more for console version.

I am just curious how many people, who play on last gen (PS3 or Xbox 360 - like me), that experience freezes / crashes during auto / manual saves, save to the Cloud?  I save to the Xbox 360 HDD (not the Cloud) and fortunately have not had any issues with freezes / crashes during the gamesave process.  I wonder if "Cloud saves" could at least be a contributing factor?

 

I thought my save was going straight to my HDD and not to the cloud.  hmmm..

"We’ll release more information on patches for consoles in the future." Call me pedantic, but that clarifies things beyond supposition as far as I'm concerned. But anyway, at least they fixed something people wanted.

Not wishful thinking- I had only read the quote given by IGN- hadn't read that other quote or the notification that said 'PATCH 3 FOR PC' - if that's how Bioware themselves has worded it, then I guess you're right. You know me, I'm hardly one to think we're not going to get d**ked over, now am I? Since then though, like Panda, I have seen the patch referred to as an all platform patch as well, but only by 3rd party games magazines.

Does your quote come direct from Bioware?

Pretty sure that the patch will be for consoles too but just not that exact patch. From what I saw of the PC notes, we can assume that Banter bug will be fixed for all versions, some companion quests will be fixed (I can finally do Solas's quest) :D and some exploits like infinite influence from the skyhold merchant will probably be fixed for all versions. I doubt the console versions need a toggle for Walk/run.

 

I have my fingers crossed that some of the things that we have complained about will be addressed in the patch too.

It's the official Bioware patch notes. From Bioware themselves. Bioware mod the same one who replied here, made this post.

 

the exact link is this 

 

http://blog.bioware....-patch-3-notes/

 

so yes it's their own words. and i also saw the mod's reply confirming it as a patch for PC only in the PC community concerns forum/thread thingy.

You can contact support directly through here with specific issues and speak to customer service about your experience.

 

With regards to Octarin and others worrying that there's never going to be a patch for consoles, that's not accurate at all. Granted there's a certain reading between the lines with "PC patch 3 notes" but you are reading into it the wrong way.

 

I'm not at liberty to clarify further, but I'm sure some of your fellow forumites can (and have) clear that up for you.

Holy moly!  A response!  :)

 

Most of us have already tried discussing to the customer service reps on EA's tech & support board about our experiences with DA Inquisition on last gen.  It was the same as it was here, silence.

The man did say he's not at liberty to clarify further, personally I'm gonna just take the hint and wait. More than glad to give the benefit of doubt over here, but please don't begrudge our skepticism as unfounded.

I know he isn't at liberty discuss further.  Just saying that I, and maybe more of us, have already tried to get help on the issues on the EA board to no avail.  Gonna wait and see.

I have an 80 gig hdd, and I save there. Never even touched cloud. Haven't had the savegames issues personally.

 I also save my games locally and don't deal with the Cloud at all. I haven't had any issues saving, but have had issues loading saves. I don't load any autosaves any more as that proved problematic for me. I load only manual saves and haven't had any issues. Well I should say I didn't have any issues when I played the game. I have since shelved it until they can fix the other issues.

Sure, though I did not start threads just chimed in some of them sharing my own experiences with the bugs/crashes and inability to read the texts.  But really thanks for responding, btw! :) I am only going to link the ps3/xbox360 and the ones that I have gone to as it is relevant to my own experiences and forum surfing habits.

Most of the threads I was more frequent on were geared to wondering if and when a patch would be announced to patch up the problems that we are running into.

Hey there!

 

I apologise for my aggressiveness earlier (I'm just largely upset by the whole deal), but I was wondering if you'll be releasing a patch to increase the size of the subtitles and text?

 

Or at least, plan to. I know you're not at liberty to discuss the finer details, it just sucks being excluded from a game you've been hyped for for months and not being able to play it because you're as deaf as the day is wide and the subtitles are beyond the point of legibility.

 

Thanks for posting!

Horrifying.... simply horrifying.... :o the patch bugged the game worse by the sound of it lol! You know guys... I'm starting to feel glad I didn't get the xbone just yet and didn't get DA:I for the xbone just yet... I think I'll just take back the xbox360 copy, download and play through the entire Witcher series and whatever from the Divinity series I've missed, and then maybe in about I dunno, a year or so I'll get back to this, and see what a mess it'll be in, and decide then. I'm not sure... undecided.

From what I've heard they dropped the ball with patch 3 on PC but the one benefit of PC is that it can quickly be patched because it's an open platform. Hate for them to be the guinea pig but at least it's not last gen that's in that position.

We have been following this thread since the start and have been looking into the issues that players are reporting. I unfortunately do not have any updates for you at this time, but trust that we have been paying attention and looking into stuff.

We appreciate you all taking the time to let us know about what you have been experiencing and are working to identify issues and address them as best we can.

I'll give you more information once I have it, but can't really say anything more at this point.

This poor dude. Working so hard on a game only to have it released well before it's ready in disgraceful condition.

I guess same happened as with patch 2 then. Sigh, I wonder if they ever patch the game properly.

A lot of people on this thread have already spoken to EA Help. Customer service doesn't really feel like customer service if it doesn't supply a) an answer to a problem or b ) at least the promise to get you a manager callback with some form of an answer in 48 hours. I understand you're patching a game, and that's difficult, and it isn't simple to respond to every request, etc- so therefore you need a different model of customer service. However Bioware were silent about these old gen problems for some weeks- I'm not just talking about a blanket reassurance that vague problems will be fixed. I'm talking about giving us a) an assurance these specific issues will probably be fixed or b ) that they can't be fixed and that you will sticker the product with a warning that it may not work on older old gen consoles. We've been supplying you with info since the start of this process and I'm glad to see you're still collating data but we would have liked to get more feedback ourselves. For instance have you got even the roughest of timetables as to when the old gen console patch will be released? It's taken a lot of going onto public spaces to get a response from you guys. I know it was the holidays, but just some reassurance or a definite no earlier would have been nice. Also, if it is a definite no and these issues can't be fixed- then how about all those people who hung onto their copies and now can't get a full refund for a game that is crashing every ten minutes or so? Will that be addressed?

I'll answer to you over here instead of PM cause it's pertinent. I've found that being a realist instead of a happy-go-lucky optimist really helps with not getting horribly let down. I wasn't. I'm actually rather amused as to how they can manage to both be deathbed late with this patch and at the same time manage to make it break everybody's gameplay in a variety of new and marvelous ways. Personally I got Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga, one of Larian Studios' Divinity series games that I hadn't bought, and I am enjoying it thoroughly, much more than crappy DA:I despite the fact that it's a 2009 game, and the newest release, Divinity: Original Sin is out for some time now too (also fantastic).

So, a lesson to be learned dear boys and girls at Bioware, what matters isn't the month of your release, and I couldn't care less if November was more fortuitous than December, or how quickly you release the game, especially a multi-platform game with zero QA behind it. What matters is how fulfilled the player feels, and right about now I can tell you that at least half your customers are feeling q-u-i-t-e unfulfilled. Toodles from me then, I will be waiting a good semester to a year before getting the game and the new console for it after all. Till then, I'll return the xbox360 version I have and I'm more than happy to stick around here with my popcorn and watch the fireworks.

I couldn't have said it better myself. :)

Like many of us, I started out by posting my problems on the EA Help forum. I posted in threads centred on the problems with DA I on old gen consoles and when no one from EA replied I created my own thread, listing the various glitches and bugs that is ruining the game for me and the only replies I got was from other users on the forum stating that I was lying because their games worked, or that I was a moron for being stupid enough to buy the game for Xbox360 and that I should be content with the fact that it started. I've never posted on the EA Help forum again.
