Bioware (Mike Gamble) tweeted yesterday that a "hotfix" was coming this AM. Most of the reply tweets seemed to reference SP stuff. I don't what the difference is between hotfixes and other types of updates, can someone explain? Hotfoxes are just that, quickly-made fixes to correct bugs and such. They're way too small to be a patch as they tend to fix as little as one or two glitches.

That seems like an oddly large file size for a hotfix. Like, weird.

That seems like an oddly large file size for a hotfix. Like, weird. The nature of the patch in question is not related to the size of the package. That is entirely on how you set your project up. In times were everybody is sitting on broadband internet connections, companies usually skimp on patching procedures, because it isn´t critical anymore to save on bandwidth.

Hahaha, that reeks of poor optimization and/or file structure/design? I'm not programmer, but it seems that some games need to update way to much when they patch. Wasteland 2 was like that, massive files for every single patch.

Oh, hey, I actually have that SP bug with the Nomad upgrade. So that's cool that it's fixed, because it was bugging me that I couldn't complete it.

Probably some hidden stuff so they can release it later this month.
I want a curvy Volus woman with a stereotypical black womans voice. She could say "aint nobody got time for that!" when objective waves come up.
Or a Vorcha in a pinstripe suit and a tommy gun.

I'm not programmer, but it seems that some games need to update way to much when they patch. Wasteland 2 was like that, massive files for every single patch. True but the bug being hotfixed was also pretty major. It's possible the fix was actually a fix for some two dozen things and the studio wasn't sure which one specifically corrected the issue. But to clarify a little, the game was "soft-freezing" about half the time a player opened the item store to buy stuff in-game, forcing them to quit back to the home screen/dashboard and restart the game. Could've been more than one or several things combined causing the problem.

The only announcement of this was on Mike Gamble's twitter feed yesterday.
Nothing on the official ME twitter. Nothing on the Bioware twitter.
Tell me again how the fuck I am supposed to keep up with official game news?

Tell me again how the fuck I am supposed to keep up with official game news? You're supposed to follow all of the devs individually on Twitter duh. As an added bonus, you'll also get inundated with SJW and anti-Trump content for free! If you complain about the "bonus" content they'll tell you that this is their "personal twitter account", their posts don't reflect the company's views and if you don't like it you can go piss up a rope.

No credits from the one game I've played post 1.07. I blame the update. Thanks biower. I would be concerned if a biower update didn't break at least as many things as it supposedly fixes. Concerned that they actually hired some QA, because as we all know, their QA is already so extensive. Why waste all their time on CTDs, memory leaks, sound bugs and netcode issues, when what the community really wants is a nerf to the carnifex.

Hah hah the EA Answers HQ post has been updated to remove any detailed notes. But don't worry, I'm sure bioware is counting on peddroelm lennybusker et al. to do the patch notes for them. As of 13:42 Eastern time / 17:42 UTC.
