BioWare has announced that a brand new patch for the PC and Mac versions of Dragon Age 2 is now live. If you bought Dragon Age 2 on Steam then it will update automatically, otherwise, you can grab the 21MB patch here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bioware also prompts users to download the latest NVIDIA and AMD graphics card drivers, as previous drivers cause the game to run poorly and display graphical glitches.<\/p>\n
