Dragon Age: Inquisition stability patch out for all but Xbox One

The first post-launch patch for Dragon Age: Inquisition drops today on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and PC, BioWare says in its blog. The patch will hit Xbox One "as soon as possible," the post says. This is Patch 2, following Inquisition's day-one patch, and it focuses on stability. BioWare breaks down the content as follows:

  • Stability – Various crashes, freezes, audio / voice glitches, and many stability improvements.

  • Gameplay – Conversations, quests, plot states, combat, UI, camera, controls, follower / enemy AI and path finding, exploits, radar, and search.

  • Multiplayer – In addition to some of the gameplay improvements listed above, multiplayer fixes also cover areas such as animations, game mode bugs, stat reporting, and stability / crash fixes.

  • PC – Numerous control and UI fixes, fixes to some hitching, improved Mantle performance, graphical glitches.

"Beyond Patch 2 we'll continue to release patches that focus on gameplay improvements," BioWare says. "We've already lined up a number of improvements and fixes we'd like to include in Patch 3, and of course we'll continue listening to you to make sure we're addressing your concerns." The blog post continues, "Patch 2 includes the first range of fixes towards addressing the feedback we've received on the PC controls; it cleans things up so you'll see fewer problems with the current layout."

Also improved with Patch 2 is the Banter system; BioWare goes into detail about how that works in a separate post. "We have also identified that in some edge scenarios, banter isn't firing as often as we'd like, so we'll be increasing the percentage chance of it happening. This increase will come after Patch 2," BioWare says.

Fun fact: BioWare named the above image "avengers-parody," and it appears to be a play on the after-credits scene in 2012's The Avengers.
