Saw someone earlier post that they had success by turning the graphics settings to automatic. I tried it because what the hell. I took the same party that i had 0 banter with in the Storms Coast to the hinterlands and they had 3 banters in 30 minutes or so, which is by far the most success I've had with any fix (sad i know). Don't knowwww if it works for anyone other than us two but thought i'd let you guys know.

 

I set the graphics to automatic and restarted the game. My journal wasn't cleaned out.

 

edit: 4 in 35 minutes...by far most successful fix i've done.

I'll try this tomorrow. Although I'm unsure why this would fix it.

Grrr this is so frustrating, i was getting banters until i went to the western approach for the first time now i go hours without hearing anything , it honestly takes all the enjoyment out of the game , running in those spaces without hearing anyone talk.

I hear Western approach is bugged for banter. Try a different area and see if it comes back.

I have , its bad everywhere for me now ever since i went to the Approach to do the Warden Mission.

Mine works fine on Ultra, except Solas and Iron Bull, Solas repeats the bit about Iron Bull being a mindless drone every five minutes. Gets annoying so, I rarely have those two together anymore. (Except if I need them both on a dragon. Then no one else talks because Solace won't shut up and IB just keeps asking him to let him have it. ANNOYING! I'd rather silence than chronic repetition. You said it once, remember it and shut up!

I've done both. Zero banter since new patch.

 

I'm encountering the opposite, tons of banter since patch 2 + hotfix

I'm sorry if this is old news, but has anyone ever looked into a relation between FPS and Banter? 

 

I did some changes to get my game into the 30's at least and capped it there too, and i got some more chattychat... I was playin with 18-25 FPS before   IKNOWDONTJUDGEME

 

...would also explain why auto graphics settings might help...

My FPS vary between 50-60 (more towards 60 than 50) and I get next to no banter. Mostly. But sometimes... :

 

Anecdote: I had absolutely no banter again yesterday when playing, even though I repeatedly IDLED in places for 10-20 minutes and switched regions just to hear some banter. I religiously clean journal/codex/inventory. Then, I Alt+Tabbed to Origin, switched it to offline, reloaded the last autosave. The minute the game was done loading, I got banter, 5 minutes after, again banter, and so on until I had about 6 instances of banter in about an hour of play. Seriously, WTH.... I bet I can't reproduce that, though, because that would be too easy obviously. I'm so far into the game that I feel that I missed so much banter already and want to start over, but... eh.

 

 

I keep cleaning codex/inventory/quests but to no avail. Tomorrow I'll try playing offline and see if anything changes, otherwise I'll just shelf it and wait for the next two patches before touching this game again.

 

Please share if it works and how you went about going offline (taking the PS4 itself offline or just disconnecting DA:I?). I have stopped playing on the PS4 because I couldn't bear the silence. When I last tested it, I got banter even when online, but I get no banter while actually playing so I don't know what's up with that.

Tried this morning, I disconnect the PS4, and ran around doing sidequests, changing the party three times. I got two lines of banter (one Vivienne/Varric, one Dorian/Blackwall) in over three hours. I cleaned the codex/journal/Inventory regularly. Nothing changed. The music still works fine, but that's it. I'm definitely going to put the game on hold until they decide to fix it.

[Tsunami Chef]

I switched the graphics settings back to what i had them before and the banter still seems to be working.

 

I've probably spent 5 or 6 hours exploring the wilderness and had 10-15 banters. TBH it's felt great and despite it only averaging out to 2-3 an hour, it is very noticeable difference from before. All i've been doing really is switching out party members very frequently (probably once every hour), doing the Journal thingy (not religiously, normally just when i enter/exit a zone.

 

I did notice that right after I recruited BLackwall, and hadn't yet talked to him in camp, I brought him out with my party for like an hour and a half and no one would talk. I went back to camp and talked to him though and next time i went out he started bantering with varric instantly..

I haven't tried since the hotfix. It's just too depressing.

[Hurbster]

Don't forget guys and gals it's not a bug - it's IMMERSIVE... 

[KealaFerret]

I can say for myself, pre-patch I had hardly any banter. I tended to load from my saves quite a bit, too.

I started loading from autosaves occasionally and started getting banter consistently. Since the patch, I've had times where I've gotten banter every 10 minutes, and a lot more commentary from my party members about things going on. I also have been traveling via the war room out of Skyhold (... Then having to fix the drums issue when I get back).

As one of the BioWare employees noted, some of it's approaching blood magic, hah. But for now it's working.

No wonder it's hard to pin this one down. Sheesh. I have been in software test for 15 years, and I actually have a lot of sympathy for those trying to reproduce this. There's a lot of factors. At work, I probably would have had to put it under a debugger by now, the randomness factor makes it so hard to know if it's not supposed to fire or is but isn't. Grar.

For those of us who have had luck with banter, is there post game banter after you've finished the main plot? I know no one has dialogue in Skyhold, but I have a few things in the hissing wastes I wanted to finish but only if my guys talk to eachother. I was going to fiddle around with a few fixes posted here, but if they're not meant to banter, it'd be a lost cause. Waiting for the fix then....

[Locklyn]

I have now had the same conversation repeat it self between Solas and Varric 43 times, is that banter or mad gibbering? What a sad state to release a game into, this will be the last time I preorder and start day 1 gaming. There is a wonderful immersive world down there but I am not experiencing it due to shoddy programming/porting

[Bizantura]

Since patch and hotfix, got lots of banter and music.

The devs have said they specifically made banter so that it wouldn't run out after you beat the game so I assume there is.

[EccentricCat]

So about this banter bug, can anyone give me their thoughts on a few questions I've had about it?  First, for everyone here posting their impressions (either no change in banter or hearing more) since the new patch, have you just resumed a previous save or started a new game?  I am very curious if you resume your old save, is it possible to encounter all of the banter that previously never fired, kind of like a backlog?  Or is too late and the chance to hear them is gone?

 

On my current game, I am about 40 hrs in, and I've shelved it for now as I'd prefer to resume when the issue has been fixed.  However, I am now debating whether I am better off restarting to maximise the chances of getting all the missed content or simply resuming.  Unfortunately, the details Bioware released about banter reads somewhat vaguely with no definitive answers. 

 

1: I started a new game post-patch (HFM: Human, Female, Mage).  In online mode, traveling around Hinterlands, I got 0 banter in 2 hours.  I later tried the same game in offline mode and got 7 banters in an hour and a half (I kept track).  

 

2: I really don't think the chance to hear them is gone as it seems - in my HFM game - I was getting the banter I had seen in a game I had created pre-patch.

 

Currently, I am playing a new game (Human, Female, Rogue) I created today with conditions: 

 

- New game

- Online Mode

- Same amount of time in the Hinterlands as my HFM

- Same party

 

I'm going to see if the game will trigger the same number of banters or at the very least close to.  

[Shimmer_Gloom]

Jumping back in. Western Aproach never has banter for me. Emerald Graves banter works as intended. It's refreshing. Definately something to do with the area you are in. Also, I don't use any 'tricks.'

I play the game regular. Except I make sure I'm offline. Once I started playing offline and started getting banter I've been doing it superstitiously ever since. Lol small price to pay for actually being able to experience all this content for the first time.

[Alya_]

any idea when the 3rd patch will be out? i want to play the game but i just can't without the banter 

 

 

Since patch and hotfix, got lots of banter and music.

 

 

 

which one? the war table travel? 

[Kevorka]

I only want to hear Iron Bull say it is a good day to die. Sera say blow they enamey to tiny bits.

[ronri]

I can't wait for the 3d patch. The lack of banter is   in an otherwise enjoyable game.

[Locklyn]

Want to know how broken Banter is? Post Patch Iron Bull sees dragon, fights dragon, wins and says nothing throughout. Way to go Bioware!

  i was about to ask about kinda exactly that, should the followers say anything when you face a dragon? I just saw and killed my first dragon, and the only banter was my character asking "eryone allright?" afterwards...

For folks with the bug, did it work for you for a while in the hinterlands before it eventually stopped? I'm in my 2nd playthrough and was getting more but now it's gone quiet again. I've heard rerolling new characters could fix the bug so I'm not sure if I got lucky this time around or I'll just get a silent crew like my first pt...

I think the worst thing about this bug is constantly wondering if it's broken again. I know it's supposed to kick in every 10-15 minutes, but I'm obsessing when it's quiet for 14 minutes :-(
