Dragon Age Inquisition Patch Download
Posted : admin On 3/29/2019Patch 11 is out for Dragon Age Inquisition! This patch is very large so you have been warned.
We had a few complaints about Dragon Age: Inquisition, many of which were addressed in subsequent patches, but one thing nobody can complain about is a lack of things to do in the game. The game’s huge world is about to get even bigger as BioWare has released two new pieces of DLC.
The first, The Black Emporium, is more of an in-game shopping mall than anything else. Accessible from the War Table, The Black Emporium adds four stores to the game, allowing players to purchase powerful new weapons, accessories, and crafting materials, as well as change the appearance of their in-game character.
But the real meat of the DLC lies in the second add-on, the Dragonslayer multiplayer expansion. This allows players to craft an item called the Dragon’s Call that adds High Dragon battles, a new unique map, and three new characters, “an Avvar Skywatcher, a Virtuoso whose music is deadly, and Isabela, the Raider Queen of the Eastern Seas herself.”

Both pieces of DLC are available now, and while The Black Emporium is a relatively small download at around 200MB, the Dragonslayer add-on is much larger, weighing in at a hefty 3.85GB, according to Eurogamer.
In addition to the DLC, Dragon Age: Inquisition is getting another patch today. As is usually the case, the patch fixes a number of issues and improves stability, but it also adds the ability for PC players to sheathe and unsheathe their weapons. For more information, see the full patch notes.
The patch also provides some preparation for the upcoming arrival of the Jaws of Hakkon DLC on a few systems. The DLC has been available for some time for those playing on the Xbox One and PC, but is finally coming to the PS4, PS3, and Xbox 360 on May 26.
Unlike the Dragonslayer and Black Emporium DLC released today, Jaws of Hakkon expands on the Dragon Age: Inquisition storyline. Take a look at the trailer below.
Editors' Recommendations
Patches within patches continue for the PC version of Dragon Age: Inquisition, with today bringing a hotfix for Patch 2’s graphical woes. Welcome … to Patchception.
The announcement was made (among other places) on the EA Answers forum, which actually contains a reasonable amount of detail about what went wrong with the mesh and shader qualities in the game. Origin should automatically download the hotfix patch.
Everyone should now remove the Dragon Age: Inquisitioncommand line workaround (if used,) as this will conflict with the hotfix.
What the EA Answers post has to say is quite detailed and explains a lot of the bugs people were seeing in Patch 2, so I’ll recreate it in full:
Before Patch 2, released December 9, shader quality for all PC users was being forced to run at Ultra. This impacted the performance of low-end machines and caused some unintended visual artifacts for users whose mesh quality was set lower than Ultra. As a result, users with Low or Medium mesh settings saw hair that was shinier than expected.
We attempted to address this in Patch 2 by binding the two settings so that mesh and shader quality were always the same. However, this fix wasn’t properly implemented, and it forced shader quality to Low. We provided a command-line workaround Tuesday, but that still required players to ensure that the new shader quality matched their mesh settings.
This hotfix will correctly bind the mesh and shader settings and eliminate this issue. However, now that shader quality is being set correctly for everyone, players using lower settings will notice a decrease in the quality of visuals. This includes the removal of some features such as scars and freckles.

Most notably, the lower settings do not support blending of the age layer, so some users may notice that their Inquisitor (or custom Hawke) has aged considerably. And while this change is how it was originally intended to work, it could be understandably frustrating for people who created their characters before Patch 2.
Setting the mesh quality to High or Ultra will bring back the visuals which should always have been disabled at lower settings (but, prior to Patch 2, were not) but will also impact performance.
Reports about the hotfix seem a little mixed at present, I’ve seen players reporting significant improvements, but others who say this hotfix has introduced stuttering and other performance problems. If you do run into problems, there’s a decent checklist to work through at the Dragon Age: Inquisition forums which may help. It’s the usual kind of thing, removing and reinstalling graphics drivers and the like, but could provide a solution.
