Patch 1.04

[Sinophile]

As I've said, there was a two month gap between when I got bored of Awakening, and when I started Leliana's song, a lot could have happened between that time(I managed to pick up some nasty malware, and installed a few other games since then). Still, it could not hurt to back up your saved games when installing patch 1.04.

True... True. :thumbsup:

 

I always recommend doing so, and was very glad to have my automagic MS-Backup on an external drive the one time I didn't! (But that was an "Opererator Headspace and Timing problem", not a program/patch issue! ;D )

Well I see BIoware made a new patch but for those of you you haven't installed it do yourselves a favor and don't. I did and have already found a few nes BUGS.

 

In DOA the Lelianna companion quest don't happen now no matter what your approval rating is.

 

In Awakening Expansion:

 

1. When you are in your cell after being captured and Velanna's sister comes to your cell and talks to you. Before the patch she gave you a key which opened a Locked chest Just before reached the chest where the rest of your stuff is suppose to be at by Armass the merchantt If you used the Persuade option. You don't get that key with any option now.

 

2, There is suppose to be 4 Experimental SubJects and each one is wearing one party members stuff. There are only 3 one of them are MIA no where to be found. So my main charcter no longer has any of his Armor including the DragonBone Massive armor for which He had made by Wade in Denerim in DOA.

 

3. The chest for which is located across from Armass the merchant where the rest of your stuff is stored is Empty. There is nothing in it at all. So anything for which was in your backback will be gone.

 

I guess I'm going to have to do a full re-installation back to version 1.03 and see if I can run my saves from the Point of just before I enter the Silverite mines and see if it works out and can be corrected that way or if I have to start all over again from the beginning of DOA. Not sure if it will allow me run my saves in version 1.04 correctly or not but I'll find out.

Wow, sorry that you're having such odd results.

Haven't started over/gone back this far with DA:O since applying the 1.04 patch. Will do so after I replace my on-board sound-card (which I'm doing to test a possible fix for a different issue.)

Not true for me when I played it through, (twice) after patching to 1.04. She gave us the key just fine, right before the "Hurry, they're coming..." line.

 

2, There is suppose to be 4 Experimental SubJects and each one is wearing one party members stuff. There are only 3 one of them are MIA no where to be found. So my main charcter no longer has any of his Armor including the DragonBone Massive armor for which He had made by Wade in Denerim in DOA.

Sort of true for me, but not quite. While my companions' gear was found on three of the "Experimental Subjects", my PC's was found on another baddie altogether. Surprised me greatly, since I was expecting it to be like the others. (We did encounter the fourth ES, after already having recovered my PC's equipment.)

 

3. The chest for which is located across from Armass the merchant where the rest of your stuff is stored is Empty. There is nothing in it at all. So anything for which was in your backback will be gone.

Sort of true for me. In my first playthrough after patching, the chest was, indeed, empty. In my second, there was some armour (and maybe other items, can't remember) in that chest.

 

I guess I'm going to have to do a full re-installation back to version 1.03 and see if I can run my saves from the Point of just before I enter the Silverite mines and see if it works out and can be corrected that way or if I have to start all over again from the beginning of DOA. Not sure if it will allow me run my saves in version 1.04 correctly or not but I'll find out.

You should be able to load any of your saves made before installing 1.04 without a hiccough. I've done it with ones going back to playthroughs completed before 1.03 was released (doing some testing of different races in different situations.)

 

All that said, I sure hope you recover your stuff. Just didn't want to scare off anyone from trying the 1.04 patch who is experienceing the CtDs or memory leaks that it might fix, but which can make the game unplayable under 1.03.

In DOA the Lelianna companion quest don't happen now no matter what your approval rating is.

 

I patched yesterday after curing Eamon. I read your post today. I started my game, did the dialogue with Lelianna, did the fight in the woods and just now killed Marjolaine. The problem is not in the patch.

Well now I just went back to a saved game for which I made in Vigil's keep uploaded and added the last for coercion. Seems you need to have 4 in Coerceion in order to get the key. 3 won't work. Forgot I had for the last time I got this far. Also I must have missed something when I posted because I found everything this time and everything that Experiment things didn't have like my health, poultices and stamina potions and the like were all in the chest. So everything is good. Sorry folks my bad on this one here.

Anyone know if Qwinn's pack is really needed for patch 1.04, or if it's even good to have it installed at all for that patch? Thanks.

I'm running with 1.04 and Qwinn's FixPack v2. Qwinn's work fixes lots of things BioWare (still) didn't. Mostly broken plot flags / dialogue branches. Haven't noticed any conflicts so far. (But neither has he updated it for DA:A. E.g. Sigrun's Personal Quest is still busted if you do things in the "wrong" order. :verymad: )

And to think that I never knew that Sigrun had a personal quest. I do know that for some reason I can't seem to get "Oghren The Family Man" Cleared off the book and his Approaval is 67. And I've got it all done cept for the final battle which I'm getting ready to do.

I read on the BW that QFP was only for patch 1.03, is this information wrong?
