BioWare’s latest title Dragon Age: Inquisition will be getting its second patch for the PC, PS3, PS4 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. The patch was expected to arrive on December 9th according to BioWare’s official blog post. Xbox One users will have to wait a bit to get the patch which developers promised will be out “as soon as possible.”

Patch 2 improves stability, gameplay and more

Patch 2 will contain “numerous improvements and fixes across the board” as well as the much-needed stability improvements. Here is an outline of fixes this patch will contain:

• Stability – Various crashes, freezes, audio/voice glitches, and many stability improvements.
• Gameplay – Conversations, quests, plot states, combat, UI, camera, controls, follower/enemy AI and pathfinding, 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 & UI fixes, fixes to some hitching, improved Mantle performance, graphical glitches.

The official patch notes should be out soon, but for now this is the basic outline of what the patch hopes to fix. Players can follow this thread to keep themselves updated on the games patches. The games developers have stated that they will continue to improve on the PC mouse and keyboard controls after Patch 2 is out.

Another problem that players have reported is a low banter between members in their party. The developers have also taken note of this and found that the banter isn’t firing as often in some edge scenarios. They plan to resolve this after Patch 2 by increasing the percentage chance of party banter firing. The developers also created a recent blog post to explain how banter and music work in Inquisition. In this post, they state that how often players hear banter is affected by how they play the game.

BioWare also has plans to add new features and content to the game that were not included during the launch due to time constraints. Check out our review of Dragon Age: Inquisition.
