As of Tuesday we have a "patch candidate" in QA for verification. It will take several days to test and verify all the fixes, and to make sure that the patch plays nice with all system configs etc. We hope to release the patch very shortly - check back here for any updates. We're not providing a date for fear that we find another issue that needs to be addressed, and the patch would need to be pushed back. LucasArts and Obsidian are both working diligently to get the patch together and released as soon as possible. We anticipate the patch being available for all language versions on or around the same day. We also hope to post a patch list that documents the changes that you can look for when installing the patch. Finally, thanks for your patience, and we hope that you enjoy the game. Mike Gallo LucasArts Producer 2-24-05
BuckeyeRowe Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Obsidian has it on an announcement on their main page. "Working for Davik was like driving a spike in the side of your head. Sure, you got something new up there, but in the end, you've lost something as well." - Canderous "But I though Jedi weren't allowed to love." - Handmaiden "But some do it anyway. We call it pulling a Bindo." - The Exile
Meshugger Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 PC-specific only? Bleh. And here i was wishing for more content, meh.

Reveilled Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I'll take what I can get if it stops the voiceover bug. And I'm glad they'll release the patch when it's finished, unlike what they did with the game... Thanks at last, OE. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!
NeverwinterKnight Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 We also hope to post a patch list that documents the changes that you can look for when installing the patch. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i wonder what the patch actually aims to fix....
Drakron Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 PC-specific only? Bleh. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Microsoft in their somewhat finite wisdom does not allow Xbox Live to patch games, knowing full well that if they did then Xbox titles would suffer the curse "release it now, patch it later" that plages the PC gaming. You will never see a Xbox game to be patched, not at least without hidding it in some extra content.
Eplebit Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I just installed a patch that updated my UK version (I guess that's the one they sell in Norway) to 1.0a. Anyone knows what this actually fix? It's not the patch announced, is it?

Darth Jebus Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 So I guess the rest of us poor souls that only have the Xbox version are still going to have to suffer.
Haitoku Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 So I guess the rest of us poor souls that only have the Xbox version are still going to have to suffer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just curious... I don't know anything about xbox or how it works. It does play off a DVD right? So were exactly does the patch go? Internal harddrive?
JamieKirby Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 sorry to upset you but, this patch is just for the PC Version.
Tux Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 The first thing this 1.0a-patch went after was the dialog.tlk file..so guess Tux
Kayn Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I wonder why, Obsidian have choose to release a patch after all that I have read in the Forum...
Volourn Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 "i wonder what the patch actually aims to fix...." Um.. Bugs.. "I'd rather have an apology" Apologizes are for wussies. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
captivus Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I hope it will fix the E N D I N G and maybe put some R E A L one. I guess that shouldn't be hard because the materials are ALREADY IN THE GAME but for unknown reasons were not used - so instead of dramatical and beatifull ending we got so early alpha version ..... But I guess I'm just dreaming ......

Darth Jebus Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I think this patch is just going to take care of all the technical issues. I could be wrong but I don't think it has anything to do with content or deleted scenes. Otherwise OE and LA just completely ripped off the Xbox users. Unless of course, they are planning to re-release K2 with expansions content -ala Morrowind.

Muad'Dib Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Like it has been said I really doubt the patch will add anything to the game, I'm fairly confident it will only deal in solving bugs. Someone mentioned some games before, but I've never seen a patch that adds additional content or restores deleted ones. If anything they'd make an expansion to restore the eliminated stuff or add new ones, but an expansion won't happen. I guess bug fixes will have to do.
EvilTyger Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Well, if by 'additional content' it means the 'quest' that is mostly even on the disk, just not accessable (trigger disabled). I have a feeling that's going to be the opening for game 3. (Much like the Han Solo in Jabba's Palace opening for RotJ, and a much more fun training prologue than the one used in SL.)

The only thing missing is the animations really.
