5 Comments

BioWare has released Title Update 3 for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which is around 300MB in size on PC, and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this patch brings to the table.

According to the changelog, Patch 3 mainly focuses on fixing bugs and issues that plagued the game. It will not improve the graphics, or improve performance. Okay okay, it does fix some pop-in issues. So, technically, it will slightly improve the game’s visuals. Still, you shouldn’t expect any major visual changes.

So, this new update will fix some instances where enemies could get stuck or were unreachable in some areas. Plus, it will fix some instances where companions could get stuck on balance beams. It will also improve the game’s stability. As the devs noted, the patch eliminates the causes of a small number of crashes.

Moreover, this update will fix a rare issue where some Skill Tree nodes were sometimes unable to be unlocked. It will also solve an issue where VFX could become extremely bright. Furthermore, it will eliminate some distant pop-in issues. Oh, and the devs have fixed an issue that caused the camera to stutter when closing the eluvian interface.

Patch 3 will also fix some quest bugs. For example, it will fix a blocking issue during the In Entropy’s Grasp quest. Also, thee On Deadly Wings quest can now be completed even if the A Slow Poison quest has not been fully completed.

Like always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
