Havent had any issue on PC since the patch but also didnt have any before the patch, not a single crash or technical issue in 140 hours of play. Sorry to hear others have them though. The only issue I ran into on PC wasn't even my issue... friend hosting seemed to have a problem where the match would bork and we'd all just see some of the background. Well, ignoring the fact that some saves on planets seem to take drastically longer to load than others. Thought it was saves made in the Nomad, but then one on foot did it. Hopefully that was improved with the patch.

for those which the game goes to cloud sync and then does not start (no black window), try putting origin in offline mode (Origin -> Go Offline), then run the game. a window should appear asking you to login to activate the game. it should start after that.
saw this on reddit, and that's what worked for me.

Just finish the update and tested the game for about 1 hour on PC. Thus far I am not seeing any problems except loading seems to be a little slower than before. Not by much I think.
Frame rate seems more stable for now, less sudden drop for no apparent reason. It even improved in some places...

Patch has been mostly good for my PC, except the framerate seems to drop when I switch rooms sometimes. But I aso just got the AMD update. Might roll that back to see if that helps...

I went to launch the game after installing the patch and it told me to update my video driver (AMD) so that's what I'm doing now before trying to run it again. The weird thing is, my auto-updater wasn't detecting a new version even when I told it to search, so I'm having to do it manually.

After the patch i can't even start the game anymore, tried lots of things like deleting.exe, repairing, malware scanning, drivers, etc. Only thing left is reinstall, but that is going to take so long :/
I'm getting quite tired of these crappy console ports the gaming industry is now full of, i may end up passing on any new game that is not PC-only until it has ben fully patched. Very disappointed with BW support for PC, it was already a buggy mess at release.

I love topics like this. Patches can often create new issues because all PAC hardware is different. You can't test every single configuration. From what I understand the crash issue has been fixed now yet griping continues. This is why some devs want to stop developing for pc.

actually I think the loading screen bug is worse now, and load times are quite a bit longer to, I have it on an SSD and it used to load pretty quick.
Not getting the issues in the OP tho.

My game is totally hosed after the patch.
Loading is now significantly worse. It takes minutes to go from one place to another. One time it didn't load the next section at all and I had to force close the app.
Hopped back in and I was in Operations. The Station Sabotage quest there is bugged for me right now, so I was unable to complete it. Went in to see if I had better luck this time. As I was walking into the room on the left past the stairs to try and scan the panel again (even though its already registered as scanned), Ryder got stuck in her walking animation. She wouldn't budge. Nothing worked. Waited a bit. No change. Menus still worked, so I closed the game and reloaded.
This time I went to talk to Addison. The conversation started normally, however after choosing a speech option, there was another huge pause. Ryder then talked, but there was no audio to her voice. Addison responded also with no audio.
Closing and running a repair. This doesn't look to be common, but its completely unplayable now.
No issues prior outside of the bug mentioned above, and most of the common, but non-gameplay breaking issues with the game already known.

Ran into a huge dialogue bug with Peebee. Every option I picked resulted in the same conversation repeating over and over. I couldn't even leave the convo - it would just go back into the same conversation again. Had to close out of the game the hard way. Will restart it to see if it makes any difference.

I do not know if I am acting foolish or wisely but after reading this topic I have decided another approach to the game:
When I arrived at home today, the patch was already released for several hours and some people were complaining of several issues, I decided to erase all my andromeda data (including profiles, configurations and saves) and start from scratch, downloading the already patched game. Frankly, I was away from single-player for weeks, and doing only mp matches. I will start the main campaign all over again and see if there are improvements.
But based on what people are saying, the game is still too green, too crude, too unpolished. I had to wait for 4 updates (I think, if memory serves) prior to seriously giving Inquisition a try. I hope it does not take this long with Andromeda. But should it happen(and what a shame it would be) at the very least I have MP to keep me entertained for the time being.
If your game is still crashing or you´re facing way too many bugs, try a clean install. There are no guarantees, but if your game is not even starting, what do you have to lose at this point?

The more I read about the patch, the more I worry. It was clearly a totally rushed release. No wonder it is called 1.05 instead of 1.10. It is another half-baked experience, and to many, the medication has already proven to be worse than the disease in its current state that it attempted to cure (or at least to alleviate).
I would not have minded waiting one or two more months in order to get a properly working game during its release. And again, I would not have minded waiting a few more weeks for a more complete and stable patch.
And yes, I do know that it was an emergency measure in order to save face for the release, but if word get out to the press that the patch actually aggravates matters biowares reputation is only gonna sink even lower. You dont fix a rushed, unfinished product with another rushed unfinished product.

This is why some devs want to stop developing for pc. Riiiiight. Because that particular phenomenon is limited strictly to one platform. Put down the console Kool-Aid and step away from the bar. You've had too much tonight.

Biggest annoyance I've run into is the game reducing to a small window when you Alt-Tab out.
I think there may have been a bit of stuttering on the Tempest, but since I didn't have an FPS counter running prior to yesterday, I can't be certain. Either way, it didn't seem all that drastic to me, but I'm also running at middle of the road settings for the most part, since I have a 950 series GPU.
Boosting the inventory to 200 was a pleasant surprise.
I've noticed SAM's dialogues seem to be off now, however. Before the patch, he'd notify me of emails when I got to the bridge on the Tempest. Now they seem to be triggered on the walkway, just before you get to the main cabin area, even if you've already read all of the mail at the terminal.
Thus far, patch seems to be an improvement for the most part, despite a few bumpy spots in the road.

Same problem here. I can't start the game via origin. I get a black screen in windowed mode.
Specs: Win 10 GTX 1080 16gig ram blablabla
And working in offline mode doesn't fix the problem for me. Neither does a repair :-(

I fixed my issue, and from what I've read, this may help with the black screen loading issue.
You have to delete the "patch" subdirectory in your installation folder. Once that's done, force another update.
This time the download was larger, and patching also took about three times as long.
Clearly the first go around was missing something and just didn't apply right.

I haven't experienced the problem that the OP has stated, but here are some of the problems I have been noticing since patch.
1. Alt+Tabbing turns on "windowed" mode, even if the setting is still on "full screen". You can't go back to full screen without restarting the game. 2.1. Switching between UIs is no longer as smooth and has a noticeable delay. 2.2. Switching between UIs can some times hang, so I've seen UIs get stuck mid-transition. Both UIs are functional at this point. 3. Primer delays. I fought the Architect on Kadara this morning, and for some reason my Singularity would take 2s to prime and animate once it's reached it's destination. 4. The eyes and faces still twitch, as if no one is comfortable talking to anyone. 5.1. Driving the Nomad to follow an Architect mid-combat some times prevents you from dismounting. 5.2. Once you get off, it takes a considerable amount of time before the game realizes that you're no longer mounted, causing you to be incapable of aiming your weapons properly or seeing the comabt UI. This problem lasted a good 30s for me after dismounting. 6. Significantly longer loading times and start up. 7. There are instances when I get hit by a one shot mechanic, but the game does not detect that I'm dead. 7.1. Some times, my PC gets bashed into the ground and continues to fall through the ground, unable to load from last save. 7.2. Other times, my PC's lifeless corpse is left on the ground, regenerating shields, and unable to load from last save.
EDIT: PSA- If you're using a Freesync or Gsync monitor, a lot of the crashes can be fixed by turning VSync on...However even this did not fix any of the issues mentioned above.
