What’s hot, launches today, and has bugs? Dragon Age II! But don’t get your britches all up in a bother about it, BioWare’s already working on a fix.
“There’s been a few minor [bugs] and a few technical hiccups on PC. The two biggies that I’m aware of – that we’re looking at aggressively right now – are on PC there seems to be some compatibility issues with DirectX 11,” lead designer Mike Laidlaw tells Eurogamer. “What I would say there is if you fire up the game and and it’s running particularly slow or stuttery, move the renderer in visual options down to DirectX 9 for now. We’re working with NVIDIA/AMD to make sure patches are coming out, because some if it is actually in the driver compatibility. We’ll make sure that’s rectified and resolved.
“The other biggie,” he adds, “and this is one that frankly is a bit of a ‘mare’ – is the consoles have… Unfortunately it’s invisible right now but there is an option for auto-attack to be turned on on the consoles so it plays in the way that Origins did where you’d pick your target and your character would continue to attack.
“Due to a bug, that option is not being rendered, which means it’s unpickable and invisible in the option screen, so that is another thing that we will be aggressively patching.”
So – problems with DirectX? They’re working on it. Problems with auto-attack switching? They’re working on it.
