BioWare says Return to Ostagar, the Dragon Age: Origins DLC that was supposed to launch two weeks ago, is active to be delayed a little second yearner but claims that all the screwing around will aid avoid this genial of nonsense in the future.
Ever wonder what happened to Return to Ostagar? It was primitively scheduled for release on January 5 but just hours ahead it was set to come in, BioWare proclaimed that it would be delayed for unspecified reasons. Several years later, the Xbox 360 version quietly turned up on Live but was and so quickly pulled thrown when it was discovered that IT was buggering up the great unwashe's games. In the wake of that mini-debacle, BioWare revealed that a title update for the game had resulted in a "previously undiscovered issuance" that was messing with the brave's specialization classes.
The studio has in real time released a more elaborated statement, apologizing to 360 owners who were affected by the update and claiming that it's working "for 24 hours" to solve the trouble. "DA:O is an incredibly large, very deep and labyrinthian halt, qualification it nearly infeasible to test every system and permutation come-at-able for each update/DLC," BioWare's Fernando Melo aforesaid in a message posted connected the Dragon Age forums by Community Facilitator Victor Wachter.
"When examination any large endeavor like that, we reckon on selectively targeting systems related to the changes being made, prioritized away ordain of perceived risk," he continued. "Unfortunately we did not foresee the changes organism made to impact the systems it did, which is how something on the face of it and then visible still managed to stave off the dev team, and six-fold test cycles of seasoned QA all through our internal teams, and EA and Master of Science cert teams, and ultimately ended up out to the public."
Melo said BioWare is updating its screen processes across all platforms in order to take "additional edge cases" into account and stave off this sort of mess in the future. Unfortunately, that means further delays in current console updates to the game Eastern Samoa well as the Return to Ostagar DLC and in that respect is currently no time frame for when the newest fix bequeath atomic number 4 approved and released. On the upside, he added that while Return to Ostagar is taking longer than matter-of-course, "the additional testing actually benefits roughly of the upcoming DLC and expansion pack, and in and of itself is not expected to impact dates of the future content."
Meantime, Melo said that a fix for the Xbox 360 version of Dragon Age: Origins which will restore salvageable games damaged by the innovational DLC release is currently being tested and is "looking very good," and if it passes with success should beryllium ready to for this week's title update.
