After some reading over here, I found the download location for the patch:

social.bioware.com/game_patches.php

I may be daft, but how do I reach this location form http://social.bioware.com/ ? I can't find any links to the download page. How would people find this patch? (Does DA:O have an auto-updater? It doesn't seem so... but still, I prefer offline patching.)

Patching DA:O to version 1.01 may completely break the game. It won't launch. To resolve the problem, you need to update the Microsoft C++ 2005 Redistributable Library (32-bit version) to the latest version. You need to use the 32-bit version (also called x86) for an 64-bit system too, because DA:O is 32-bit, and uses the 32-bit library.

The update is over here:

www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx

After installing it, DA:O will lauch again. Bioware, please put this link onto the patch download page too, because this is almost impossible figure out. I don't know who did, but it is the solution if the game breaks because of patch 1.01.

handy having a link to the patches. Only place I'd seen it was in threads, though once it's been out for a bit longer I'm sure more permanent links will appear

it's located in the "My games" tab under your picture to the left... under "Game Patches"

If you place your mouse cursor over "My Games" in the menu under your avatar, a new menu will slide out, at the top of that menu is "Game Patches". Clicking on that will take you straight to the page containing game patches! ;)

EDIT: Forums are very slow, only saw the op and 1 reply, but now there's 2 more replies apparently about an hour old! That link in the menu has been there for a few days now, or at least I first saw it a few days ago. The way these forums are running crawling, it's hard to access anything.

I'm curious why there's no option to patch from the game launcher. This system worked just fine in the NWN series.

Possible. Dumb, but possible.
