Hello.
First of all I want to thank BioWare for such amazing game, please keep it this way. I haven't seen so good game for so long time. I appreciate your work! Truly! And please, don't change the course, you've made it perfect!
I've been looking for any information about today's game patch. Could anyone share with some details about an update?
What's even worse is that the reason given was that the future patches would include things to prepare for upcoming dlc. This patch only contains MP fixes. Seems more and more they are giving last genners the finger.
This patch: 3.2gb on PS4 in NA
Last patch: 2.14gb on PS4 in NA
I am not sure how any of those fixes listed would cause an increase of 1.1gb of patch size.
I am sure people have or will datamine shortly to find things we have added
By the way, will devs make the support for directX12?
I would say it is pretty unlikely but never know
Why was the patch only like 1.5GB on PC? Better patching tools?
Different file system:
Pros: Smaller on disc size, less maintenance
Cons: More memory cost, and slightly longer load times (which is why using an SSD makes a very large difference).
Basically why the PS4 game is ~42gb whereas PC is ~25gb (not completely the difference, since PS4 contains between 1-3 VO languages depending on the region, but PC is only 1(except for on DVD disc))
Thanks. I didn't realize the compression gulf was that large.
Its not really compression, but afraid I cant really say more than that
+This is not really on topic
Will we ever get a decent patch with SP fixes? With your companions not standing and watching my ass being handed to me during battle etc? Another MP patch feels really bad for someone who doesn't play MP. This things should really be separated. Add MP if you like, or something. But I would be happy with at least some fixes for SP from time to time.
I certainly cant make any promises, but ill just point out some trends.
This patch is being released with the descent, which (design wise and programming wise) nearly completely driven out of BioWare Austin (this was the first time they had worked on the game, except for a small amount that worked on the PC Beta). So it is expected they may not be the best to fix main game bugs (something something risky).
The patch before this came out with Dragon Slayer, a MP focused DLC, not sure what else I need to say on the matter.
The patch before that one was with Hakkon, which touched a number of SP bugs.
So, you can only patch SP bugs when SP content comes out? I'm sorry, but I don't see the logic there. You guys managed to do MP fixes alongside SP ones for the first few patches. Plus, there have been 2 item packs for SP if you want them to come out with SP content, one of which has some glitches that need fixing.
No I am not saying we can only patch SP bugs when SP content comes out.
I am sorry but I can not provide much clarification here, was just pointing out a trend that people can see based on information that is already known and not due to insider information.
So those of us who only play SP have to wade through multiple gigabytes of stuff that doesn't really pertain to us. The storage space on my console isn't growing to accept more and more such ballast either. No, sorry. I'm staying offline. I'll continue rejecting the last 2 patches.
Unfortunately there is no concept of SP patch and MP patch. The same argument could be made for people who buy the game for MP only and have to deal with the majority of the space being taken up for a mode that they will never be used by them.
You are welcome to reject patches, just a warning though if you plan on getting DLC they do require the patches
