Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Technical problems [General discuss] Patch 1.03

Ok. Confirmed. That is good!!
Any news about the date of release?

I dunno, but approx. @ the end of November.

Okay, it's December, where's the patch?

I said approximately. The cause of main issue still undiscovered and unfixed, so, no reason to release a patch.

Shit....
But what the hell...?
We are talking about professional programmers or noobs?
Nobody knows why the game FAIL. Nobody knows how to make a patch or fix...
I am vere dissapointed, if we haven´t a patch at this moment, probably we wont have any patch, never.
What a shit of developers...
And, Kein, you said: "No reason to release a pach" ¿nop? I think that a patch is totally required, I dont mind how...but the program is a shit, and it doesnt work. With PC that reach the RECOMMENDED System.

Noobs...This is not Bioware, this is not EA, this is not OBsidian...

Mass Effect still doesn't run perfectly on everyone's PC and Neverwinter Nights 2 is unplayable on new systems. Larian is competent, it's just that not all problems have easy solutions.

It is very hard to find and fix a problem if you are unable to reproduce it. IIRC someone from Larian did say they were working on getting a computer that experienced the loading problem.

The game has not even been released yet in North America, so I hardly see how it is past the point of a patch being released.

Kein meant there is no point in releasing a patch until the main problem is fixed, not that there isn't a need for a patch.

Dont make me laugh. NeverwinterNights 2 runs perfectly in new PCs. May be, with the Win 7 there are some problems, but this game is continuous updated, and it will be solve soon. NWN2 runs perfect with new proccesors intel quad.

If they really want to solve the problems of Div. 2. They will do. No doubt.

Weird, i'm running the game and having a lot of fun. Apart from stuttering and the ocasional crash or infinite loading screen (like 1-2 every 1 hour), its a very enjoyable game.


Also playing DA:O and i always get a laugh from those ridiculously low-res textures they acidentaly shipped in the PC version.

It apears bad things happen to either very small companies (larian) and very big ones (Bioware).


The patch will come, have patience, in the meantime play something else or be more social in this weeks lol. just chill dude, a game is not worth all the rage and suffering

The solution for infinite loading screen seems to be a crack, yes as yor ear, a crack
A lot of people with this issue can play with a crack (no with Spanish version because no specific crack for it is avilable)

So, for me (i´m not a programmer) that problem is with Securom
Use the logic Larian

It´s anoying for me and other to have the original game for a long time and still unable to play one minute!

Oh, c'mon guys, have a patience, why so REAG? The patch will be released soon.
But if you can't wait... well, you always can get your money back, buy german retail release, use language hack and be happy! :P

God listen to you, Kein...
The game (Divinity II) is good, so the impatiente is high....Thats the consecuence. We want to play this great game without bugs...

The spanish version was released at the same time that Dragon Age. It is strange, dont think so?
May the distributor pressed them to release the game before it was ready.

Im on the uk ver of the game and i would love a patch to fix or reduce my graphics stuttering im hoping it will come soon cause it is a good game but playing it like this sucks.

lex1ca
There is a several threads about sluttering, have you read them? Perhaps something can help you without a patch?

Ive tried the stuff on here ive tried using d3doverider thing from riva turner lots of things im still playing it even with the stuttering cause its a good game maybe its my card i just have stuttering on most gamebryo engine games.

Then i barely doubt that the patch will fix it :P

I can live in hope :P the stuttering i got in war online was not constant like with this game tho ok in like sections of the areas like where the maps of zones joined and stuff but still there none the less.

I use this thread to report an issue related to the Physx drivers coming with the game, I hope will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

The Physx drivers version shipped with the game is 9.09.0428, while the latest drivers available at the official Nvidia site 9.09.0814. When I first installed the game I experienced the following problem: the old Physx drivers installed with Divinity II caused a 7 fps in Mirrors Edge during the glasses breaking scene. This was due to the CPU taking care of the Physx and not the GPU (drivers were too old for my OS). I then re-installed the latest drivers and Mirrors Edge now runs fine. Divinity II, on the other hand and despite running fine, at each startup keeps telling me that the Physx drivers found on the pc are different from the ones of the game: how to get rid of the warning dialog box before the Larian logo ? I am running the game on Win 7 64bit with not a single crash after more than 30 hrs of play.

Regards.

Kein, do you mean 1.03 or 1.3 ?


I could swear my english version is 1.03 already ?


Sorry if i'm confused.

There is no 1.3 or 1.1 or 1.2 patches, it's all 1.0x.
-> german version+patch1.02:... 1.0.13.40
-> english benelux-version:.... 1.0.13.65
-> russian version:............ 1.0.15.xx

Larian has a nice way to name their patches, the patch version != the game version. Fun, isn't?

I think that the English (UK) version is based on some other German version, but it don't mean anything. There is no patch available yet to the English (UK) version, then it is the same as saying that it is in version 1.0, even if the developers used German version 1.2 or 1.3 to make it.

And one very important thing, i think the first post in that tread, says nothing usefull.
It has a link to other post, i read the entire post, and no one says anything about a solid patch. Just someone suposed to be from Larian that says something will be fixed in the next patch.

Don't says ho good a patch will be released... Dan, offcourse it will be released. But if it last too much to the release, that game will be just other buged game, and no one will pay atention to the "patch". For the good of Larian, it need to be released before the US release. No one will buy it from the store if they get to the forum and see that there is an unsolved bug.

You have no idea what are you talking about. There is no 1.2 or 1.3 patch versions.
Care to read my previous post? It's just above, I swear!


Wait... I've got it. You have bad eyesight, amirite? Perhaps, you're not able to see the date when the first post was posted? At that moment there was NO date and NO info at all.

But now, there is: click

I can't edit my post anymore since 24hrs passed.

I'm sorry, i made a mistake it's not 1.2 or 1.3, as you said in your previous post, Larian like to use strange versions in their files, but it is still 2 ou 3 updates released for German version.

And yes i was right the link in the first post is ?@#$%¨&!, now you bring to us a very better link, thanks.

I am thinking that the next patch is.... The Ghost Patch. It does not exist. Simply that.
I dont expect a better optimization of the game. Maybe they get resolv the neverending screens, or some improvements in the gameplay, but not better FPS.
I have stated to play it anyway.

This thread explains it all, coming from lar_q himself.


In Short words, each language patch version (german, english, French, etc) have diferent patch notes, even though they shared the same number at some point in time.

So English 1.03 != German 1.03 and so on.


The US patch version will be the patch version that will make all language patches version equal to the most recent, and from what i understand will have improvements not even the german version has yet.

Right before your post I just posted the same link as KnightPT did...

Yes, thery are working in a Patch.
Just wait, I'm expecting it to be released in January 2010.

Yeh, probably, since the US release in Jan 5.

guys im from the philippines and i really really like this game... there is a bug in the game and just like the others i also wanted to ask when do you release the patch...? cause this game was great and i really like it...

any chance to have a fix for the very very small text in >PC italian version???
and maybe a way to cast spell via right mouse or clikkable qbar??' is to crap use only numers keys...very very crap.!

and this caos with the patch version...bah!! this are disapointing things...this are problems that can be easly avoided (sry my poor english , mate)

what bout the 360? is it getting a patch anytime soon >:D

Hmmm, Where can I download 1.02 ? cant find it anywhere

There were a couple patches for the initial German release, but other localizations had changes/fixes integrated in up to the point they were released. The hopefully soon to be released 'bring everything up to the North American version' patch will be the first for non-German language versions.


Welcome to the forum.

Hi!I really like this game but i'm waiting for some patches becauze of the bug's!I wait for the release!

sounds great!
just waiting now..

I have to ask, since it seems you guys know something about glitches.
I'm on the 360, and the one thing that literally keeps me from going any further has occurred.
The Ladders and most doors are gone. I mean all of them. Some, don't matter, but getting on to of Lord Lorvis's tower without being a dragon, is almost impossible. Now, I'm installing the game to my 360 to see if it works, if it does, I'll repost that it did. But if it doesn't, anyone see a way to work around this??

That didn't work out. Took about 10 minutes for it to finish. I found out not only are the ladders gone, but so are the doors. Which means I have to start over entirely. Damn.

Sorry to hear that. You don't have any earlier working saves to revert to?

Nope, I'm one of those people who like keep that ONE save file through the entire game. I do have to say though that the autosave function is extremely crappy. It never saves at a good time. But yea, i know ALL my mistakes and hopefully won't forget them.

That is a bummer seeing that Larian has admitted to a bug for "same" saves. I have multiples. I do my initial save then two more after that, then keep over writing the oldest save each time...and I save A LOT.

Hope you can get that sussed out

Does anyone know what the latest patch is and where i can get it?
It's becoming a damn trend for the official site of a game not to have patches on the download page.
Unless i overlooked it..

Currently there are 2 German patches, and a small patch for the US DVD version to fix a hanging problem when exiting the game.

But why they are releasing patch? The ultimate endless loading screen of game, is not fixed...

Its really disappointing. I got that problem too
I found that Divinity_II_Patch_1.03_EN_US ... but i got error No installation found.





Btw - Hi all in forum

A patch to get all the versions up to date will still help the majority of people, even if there are still outstanding issues. Hopefully a patch for these technical problems can follow shortly after.

I've read a few posts about the text size being too small. I wonder if Larian realize their are a lot of people like me who are playing the PC version on an LCD or Plasma TV from the comfort of their couch and can't read the text blocks or menu choices. I'll throw my vote for anything in the next patch that will allow at least a modicum of font scaling. Doesn't seem unreasonable?

Sorry bud I'd bet you $100 that this would be the last thing they would work on, considering there are other pressing issues coming first

A minor change that is easy to implement could get done before a more important fix that is quite involved. However, scaleable text of some form was requested in early suggestion topics, so I would assume, unfortunately, that it is either not that easy to implement, or they have no interest in doing so, or it would introduce complications in the UI design that they don't want to deal with, or something.
