If you already have a Divinity II patch installed on your PC just click on "Search online for updates" in your start menu and you've got it.

New features:

- Added a crosshair option for better targeting/item interaction
- Physics improvement. Easier to walk forward when running into objects.
- Melee attacks now hit multiple targets in a cone
- Greatly improved both sword and bow targeting
- Turned down homing of enemy projectiles on lower difficulties
- Added waypoint shrines to map
- Shorter animations for certain skills

Notes:

- This patch also fixes a lot of bugs, it doesn't just introduce new features. For instance, if you have a never-ending loading screen after starting a new game (after the "ladybug and zeppelin" movie), patch 1.03 will fix this.
- Patch 1.03 contains Patch 1.01 and Patch 1.02
- To make all changes shall work properly you should start a new game
- This Patch only works with all DVD versions of the game, online retailers will deliver their patch in addition.

Can't download it just now, but for anyone who already tested it, does ir remove stuttering graphics and the black loading screens/freezes?

Where is Polish patch???

And it's definitely not your PC causing this graphic problems?
We could check your dxdiag in an extra thread.

Hi Betty,

Can you say when the patch is going to be released for the Steam Versions?

Yea I'm also wondering about that, dont have a black loading screens tho.

for the Moderator above me : is there a DXDIAG thread? how do I run that ? :o

Just post your dxdiag in an extra new thread and describe your problems there.
Then we can try to solve them.

Dear betty, i hope you are joking. If any of the larian staff reads this boards ( and i'm sure you do), you would have known the massive amount of people with stuttering graphics, where the game engine renders too much frames ahead of the game, and people with high-end systems have a lot of sttutering ?

One way to understand it better is a similar effect with v-sync turned off and 100+ FPS in most games, except in D2 even if you enable v-sync you still have a lot of sttutering and things out of sync in the frames.

You can't possibly say you never heard of the "stuttering problems", there's even youtube videos of it lolol...


I'll try and remain calm until i test the patch, but telling people that "it might be your machine" is in fact a little... well, i wont say.

Yes, I read of these...
But it's always good to check a system anyways.

Hi Betty,

Before this thread descends into yet another stuttering graphics one (yes I get it too but just waiting to see what the patch does), can you give a hint roughly on when the Uber patch is going to be released on Steam (so I can tell everyone to stay off the net for 24 hours whilst it downloads)

The online retailers already recieved the patch and will provide it asap.

Yes, i understand your point also and i apologize, but after installing win xp, win vista 32, win7 64, win7 32, all catalyst drivers since 8 series even changing graphics card to Nvidia just to try the game out, changing priority settings in windows, doing every single thing your forum representatives sugested, checking hundreds of forums just for a possible fix and seeing hundreds of other people saying they have stuttering, its just hard to hear anything else from larian than "yes, stutering is finaly fixed!".

Thanks Betty

I ask again: where Polish patch?

If you run the aplication on the D2 folder, to automaticaly search for a patch, does it find anything or say "no update found" ?

When will this patch be released on the Xbox 360?

Are there any differences in the patch on PC and Xbox 360?

Very nice on realising this patch.

However didnt fix any of my problems still get the stuck loading screen when starting a new game and cant use teleporters.

Game runs great on my laptop but get the above mentioned problems on my desktop.
Yes it seems my desktop is having problems with this game but how come? Should run fine on my desktop too only mayor difference is that laptop has a dual-core processor. any ideas?
Did try the solutions mentioned on the forum that actually make sence in being able to do so.

Donice

woooow download now !! Thanks

Any Updates on 360 Patch.
All I want to known is If its been sent to Microsoft.
Surely it can't be that hard to tell us
You've said about the Save Bug one but I'm not interested in that.
I'm talking about the 1.03 Equivalent for Xbox 360 EU Versions.

Polish version dont has autoupdate. Polish "1.03" I download 2-3 weeks ago from polish reseller site and IF this is the same patch it is BIG JOKE. This patch dont fix most important problems, dont fix most irritating bugs, dont fix 3D engine etc.

Conclusion - I first and last buy anything from Larian company. That is it.
