Bioware’s Luke Barrett has confirmed via the official Dragon Age 2 forums new details for the upcoming patch 1.03. While the patch 1.02 included over 100 fixes, Bioware is already hard at work further polishing the title and working out any major known kinks before releasing DLC.
“Be aware that knowledge of an issue doesn’t inherently mean that it will be fixed in the next patch,” wrote Bioware’s Rob Bartel. “We still need to prioritize the issues list, reproduce the issue internally, and finally identify and implement a suitable fix.”
“Not all bugs survive this process but we’ll do what we can. The sooner we’re tracking the issue, however, the sooner we can begin that process.”
Those experiencing any difficulties in patch 1.02, can post comments about the issues in Bioware’s thread here. Check the current list of 1.03 updates below:
General Issues
– Import Issues (Awakenings; re: Approval levels)
– Import issue with Zevran, Alistair and Morrigan (all)
– Olaf’s Armory – Chest is invisible. Can still be interacted with, you just can’t see it. (Act 3)
Companion Issues
– Carver goes from Grey Warden to Templar in act 3 during Best Served Cold hostage scene
– Isabela doesn’t switch to her alternate outfit after the romance scene (requires using makers sigh to fix currently)
– Companions lose upgrades when they switch outfits
– Fenris’ Dog conversation (Black Emporium) is not firing
– Merrill’s ‘Mourning’ quest at the beginning of Act 2 is auto-completing. This quest is not supposed to be in the game so for now just disregard the message about it. (it does not affect your game at all)
– Varric’s ‘Friendly Concern’ conversation trees are not firing for any LI except Anders currently
– Sebastian Vael – Despite having friendship maxed, his companion power does not show as active on his Abilities page (the bonus is working, however)
– Anders’ rivalry dialog doesn’t trigger (friendship instead) during endgame after the ‘chantry part’
– Anders’ Tevinter chantry amulet turn-in does not give the appropriate reputation modifier when in a rivalry
Quest Issues
– ‘Who Needs Rescuing’ quest still broken
– ‘Sketchy on the Details’ doesn’t clear from the journal upon completion
– During ‘Demands of the Qun’ Aveline’s guards are aggressive if you go to the docks at night
Combat Issues
– Varric’s Disorienting Shot doesn’t disorient (for more than a split-second)
– Modal abilities that should be exclusive are stacking if you toggle two of them on quickly
– Hawke can become immune to Injury occasionally
– Magic Resist is affecting Haste (causing the duration to be shorter, essentially resisting your own buff)
– Issues with Gravitic Ring under certain circumstances
