Again, I state that the easiest fix to this problem for people such as myself who haven't updated yet is for Bioware/EA to pull the freaking patch until the fix is done. How hard is that?
that would require common sense, and someone to do something, which sadly doesn't exist anymore really

Seems that way. I mean how wasn't pulling the patch the first damn thing they did upon finding out what a mess it is? Just seems like common sense. That way anyone who wanted to could just uninstall and reinstall without the screwed up patch as well.
Philocrates, the workaround to *defer* the Patch is about the same as the workaround *for* the patch (pending the hotfix, assuming you absolutely must play within the next 24 hours or so and simply cannot wait AND are using a PC).
The amount of fixes compared to problems arising from the patch don't, prima facie, appear to justify some of the blatant histrionics and negativity that have been posted in the last several hours since the patch was released.
That said, I am cognisant that this is ultimately an anonymous internet forum, and well.. internetz.

So ruining personalized characters, ****** up the graphical options, making the game virtually unplayable for some, etc aren't big problems to you? I shouldn't HAVE to do a workaround that appears to in some cases not work and not fix every issue. This patch was ridiculously broken. It doesn't take a genius to say, "Hey let's PULL THE PATCH WHILE WE WORK ON THE FIX".

Agreed, it was too much especially when Conal was here in the midst of the sh-tstorm responding to people shouting insults at him.
Bioware just came out of the closet (finally) and got hammered by that hard, ok sure, the patch was borked, but here was a guy trying to help everyone out for fks sake! Oh well, it's mostly died down now since the workaround and news updates.
Have anyone had a black screen that freezed to the point of completely shutting the computer off but still leaving it on? Or BSOD? Only after the patch though
Edit: Also lag on the menu and in game. Have to restart PC to go back to normal. Reaaally lagged
I can understand that it's a frustrating experience, however the symptoms you have described - and the information you have provided are somewhat spartan for a productive response, in my opinion only - would suggest that Conal's Manual Hotfix work-around would address your problem. You simply may need to tone down the manual setting lower than Ultra - as some other posters here have advised.
The workaround involves opening up Origins, Right Clicking ONCE and then Left Clicking "Game Properties" and typing
-ShaderSystem.ShaderQualityLevel Ultra
in a box that pops up (note again, from how you are talking I'd suggest that Ultra be replaced with High).
This process takes roughly 30 seconds for an average user if that - again, in my opinion only.
I don't feel that this warrants such a tirade, nor does it appear to be "ridiculously broken". If you are capable of Pausing an Origin update to defer the patch then you are most likely able to put through a manual workaround.
Just in case, as per Conal's instructions (which are more than adequately comprehensive) ensure that your Mesh Quality (under Graphics Options) matches the level you type into the workaround box.
When the hotfix is posted, simply do the same process but instead delete the text - this isn't hardcore C++ programming we're being asked to do here and takes much less time than posting on a forum repeatedly.
Best of luck and I hope your experience improves.
rofl I thought my being forced to play on low to even get the game not to crash or lag as often was bad now it's lagging and crashing my computer even ON low setting. And then the temporary fix for the hair mesh doesn't work and it remains the ugly plastic hair too. Seriously, please get your act together and make it so that some of us haven't wasted loads of money to buy and import the game only for a product that doesn't work :\
Sorry guys, i cannot share your negative thoughts on the patch. For the first time i was able to play 7 hours straight without a single crash!
I honestly think that Bioware have done well and the patch is doing a good job!
Sure, the graphics are somewhat.. reduced, but the shiny hair thing isn't so bad! I take from that, that this patch is meant to be a temporary solution. My guess would be that there is a major game update on its way, perhaps in March or April?
heh yea... it is...
You mean you got this thief armor (I don't know what they're all called, sorry) when starting as a mage?
I always got the mage armor when starting a new game as a mage, but with Patch 2, I started a new game and got the thief armor (as noted, it magically morphed into mage armor at the bridge). It's the first time I've ever seen this.
No I always got the outfit called the mercenary's coat. It's specs would change depending on class but not the actual looks.
I had NO issues before the patch, now I do. They are minor tho and so far have not been an issue. 1) First of all I just LOVE the way the hair looks. I created a new character and her hair is still shiny but more natural looking and softer looking. However I had no scars under the scars on creation. The tatoos and everything else seems to work fine in creation but no scars. (let me know if it is on my end). Had scars before. Have not logged into my one created before the patch to see if her scar is still there. 2). While talking to Varric in Haven in the beginning of the game after the initial Chantry scene, his right leg kept looking like it was buckling under him or like he kept stepping in a hole while standing there talking to me. 3) the one I think is the worst is this one. When you first start and the box pops up (to let you veiw something) It used to say use ctrl. Now it says ConceptMenuAltView. So far I have found nothing that is a game breaker but will let other issues be known. I have read some of the "RANTS" that people are doing and feel we need to give them a chance. This is a massive game and how can we expect it to be perfect every time. I used to test mods in DAO and even tho we THOUGHT we had caught every problem someone else would ALWAYS find something, no matter how small, wrong. Everyone sees different things. I have NEVER liked any other game series more than all the Dragon age series. I love Inquisition and cannot wait to see what, if any, DLC;s etc they add on to it. (side stories, more romance, etc, would be wonderful). Just seems that some people have to have something to Complain about.
Must be my system because I have not had the crashing that others have with the new patch and I have not, YET, had any of the other issues, but will keep my eye out for them.
Small things, sure, a software that big running in so many different combinations of motherboard+GC+CPU of course it will have "minor" issues, but so far, DAI problems aren't "minor", it really looks like it skipped totally QA control, I just can't understand how something so widespread like the metallic hair past the team attention
Oh boy. Some poor schmuck on reddit got REALLY bad luck.
Weren't they happy with the ugly women? They had to make them ugly AND old? Come on guys, listen to the community!!!!
BTW, this thread is pure gold!!!!
But it's the green one, not the one in the new screenshot, right?No I always got the outfit called the mercenary's coat. It's specs would change depending on class but not the actual looks.
So I suspended the patch download at the suggestion of these forums. But what I'd really like to know is if the displeasure with this patch is justified or simply the typical bashing this forum is known for.
Given how much negativity towards the game itself has come about these last few weeks, and considering how much I disagree with that negativity, I'm thinking the latter. But unforutnately I don't know for sure...and there's no going back after installing the patch.

IDK YOU TELL ME BRAH. NOT LIKE THERE IS CLEAR PICTURE EVIDENCE.
But it's the green one, not the one in the new screenshot, right?
It sounds like that was the intended behavior, then. I simply assumed it was class based (since this new outfit looks like the default appearance for medium level armor). (I actually quit after starting because I thought the game had selected the wrong class.)
Yep the green one.
Yeah I'm pretty sure the green was intended across the board for everyone. You get the different class armors after the prologue.

200% justified
Wolfbrother and Philocrates, that's a screenshot of the Mesh issue that was addressed and fixed using the manual workaround as per Conal's latest post and referenced in posts throughout the last ten or so pages of this thread and my last several posts.
In other words, the hotfix FIXES that problem PROVIDED that the instructions are followed exactly. I've capitalised the caveats here as this does require end user responsibility and the acknowledgement thereof.
I'm not sure how else to further attempt to assist you here - I'm getting the impression of willful ignorance coupled with an almost congenital negativity and this isn't going to change no matter how much people try to help.

I think you're missing the point that we shouldn't HAVE TO DO A WORK AROUND and even then said work around does not fix ALL of the issues that this patch brought about.
So for someone like me who had ZERO issues before this patch(Never once crashed, no party banter glitch, ran perfectly smooth at high settings, etc), I refuse to even download it. They need to pull the patch. It's that simple.
I think you're missing the point that we shouldn't HAVE TO DO A WORK AROUND.
And you won't have to do a workaround as soon as the hotfix comes out.
Just so you're aware, that's not the hot fix.In other words, the hotfix FIXES that problem PROVIDED that the instructions are followed exactly.
I think that the gtx 660 may be cursed or something. I realy looked forward to this patch or hotfix or somthing in between but it still crashes my game with white screens , blackscreens and DX hung up. Maybe this was not a fix or a patch or something in between, it may be just a " shut the f... up something to pay us more time" thing.
