Ironworks Forum New Patch 1.04

Dragon Age: Origins 1.04

Note on Installing Awakening to a version of DA:O already patched to 1.04 [PC only]
If you install the 1.04 patch prior to installing Awakening, you must run the 1.04 patch installer again after the Awakening install is complete.
There are Awakening specific resources and other assets that will not be patched in properly unless the 1.04 installer detects that Awakening is present and as such will not install those additional resources. In addition, the pre-1.04 installer that comes with Awakening may revert some 1.04 files back - this would result in a game that is apparently missing many of the fixes included with 1.04, while the game config tool still reports it as the 1.04 version.
In short, if you plan to re-install DAO and Awakening at some point in the future, we recommend installing DAO, then Awakening, then latest patch. If you plan to add Awakening to your DAO install, we recommend installing Awakening, then always re-apply the latest patch.

  • Blood talents from the Grey Warden Base premium downloadable content now work properly in other modules.
  • Installing new downloadable content no longer leaves the ôOther Campaigns selection grayed-out.

  • Damage statistics are now being updated properly on the Inventory screen when weapons are unequipped.

  • Screenshots were being uploaded automatically on the PC by default on new installations. This no longer happens.
IMPORTING CHARACTERS
  • Importing a character to a new module from a save game that did not have the hero in the party caused the game to crash. This is fixed.

Default Re: New Patch 1.04

About time!

The pickpocketing bug was a major problem for me (I almost always play rogues) at first but I did find a mod that fixed it. Importing a character to Awakening and having them show up in their undies and with no weapons was a fairly major issue however.... I will have to give Awakening another go with this patch. Can't see anything in there about fixing the Silverite Mine bug (ie. not being able to get your equipment back!) tho, that was a fairly major one - even if there was a workaround it was still an unacceptably bad ****-up.
