Dragon Age: The Veilguard's First Big Patch Notes

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is getting its first patch, bringing major bug fixes, balance adjustments, and changes that will make players' adventures smoother. This first patch, announced by BioWare, includes improvements such as major PC fixes, customization changes, and the removal of several annoying bugs.

Here are the changes made in Dragon Age: The Veilguard and the full patch notes:

GPU Bug Fix

BioWare announced that the patch would fix "an issue causing DLSS options to appear 'grayed out' on 40-series Nvidia GPUs." This issue only affected PC players, and the missing DLSS options were preventing players from boosting their performance or fully customizing their adventure. Fortunately, this feature will be restored for all PC players once the patch goes live.

Customization Fixes

It was pretty frustrating to spend hours on character customization in Dragon Age: The Veilguard only to see it disappear in an important scene. Although this issue was rare, BioWare has promised to fix "some customizations not being applied correctly to the Inquisitor in one scene," so players will be able to see their characters looking the way they want throughout the game.

Companion Ability Point Bug

While the customization issues were only visual, players were also facing a mechanical issue where companions' ability points would randomly reset. You can reassign ability points, but since the game didn't always notify you that these points had been reset, you sometimes couldn't use your full power while fighting dragons, gods, or simple Darkspawn. Fortunately, this issue will be a thing of the past, as noted in BioWare's early patch notes.
