Patch Release Information:

This cumulative patch will update all language versions of Dragon Age 2 for PC to version 1.02. Patch 1.02 includes over 100 major and minor fixes such as the bug where downed party members would not properly return to combat after being revived.


AMD and NVIDIA have recently released new graphics-card drivers. Using old drivers may cause Dragon Age II to crash, run poorly, or display graphics incorrectly. Please visit your hardware vendor's website for further information on obtaining new drivers

NOTE: Some plot fixes are retroactive, but not all. Players with plot-breaking bugs may need to revert to an earlier save, particularly a save prior to visiting the affected area during the current year in the game.

Mac users will update automatically upon launching the game.
