Believe it or not, the patch has been ready for quite some time, but there's a lot of process this thing has to go through before it can be released. Out of that process came one issue which is now fixed, so I hope you'll still see it this week. My sincere apologies.
Lar,
As an old fan of Larians, as with everything new that comes out it will have bugs, but take your time with the patch and make sure it covers the issues people are having. Even with the issues it is by far the least bug ridden game released in the US that I can think of.
Yes I have had a few bugs myself. Skill trainer not working when I choice a skill to upgrade is the worst of them.
