Dragon Age 2 v1.05 on PS3

I've searched all over, but can't find an answer to why my PS3 version of DA2 won't update to 1.05.  I've confirmed I am connected to PSN, and I've verified that I'm running v1.01 of DA2.  I got this copy of DA2 off the PSN.  If there is any other info needed, please let me know.  I hope someone can help!

    Hi guys,

    Sorry to ask, but why do you think you need to patch?

    As it was explained in this thread a couple of times, the versions available on the PSN and Xbox Lives are the latest available: you don't need to update manually and randomly a game on console. The publisher pays Sony or Microsoft and they deploy the patch on their network for every player to download it next time they log into the game. If you're interested check this Kotaku article about how much it costs to patch a game.

    If you're just referring to the "A  new update is available!" message that appears on the splash screen... it's just an ad that will probably never change now (Next message is "Mass Effect 3 Demo is here" for example...)

    Hi there,

    Updates are automatic on consoles (Usually you are simply prompted to accept the download as soon as the game detects that a new patch or update is available). 

    If you're experiencing any issue with the game, let us know.

    Cheers,

    Eve

    I'm having the same problem. I started Dragon Age 2, the screen comes up and asks me to download Patch 1.05, I say yes, but it won't download the patch. My internet connection is working fine, I was able to download the DLC from the store with no problems. How can I get the new patch?

    If you're on the PS3, same as the OP, the patch for that console is on Sony's download site, not EA's, didn't you read that?   Incidentally, only DA: Origins ever had any patch of that number.  DA2 stopped at 1.04, unless Sony themselves added on one their own.

    I am also looking for a solution as I can not find the spot either via bioware, ea or sony PSN to download the patch and resolve the message that appears and I have not played long enough yet to experience the full force of any bugs.  I am currently on version 1.01.

    Can anyone detail a walk through or work around to deal with the patch-upgrades on the DA2 - PS3 game?

    I keep getting the message to install the latest Dragon Age software patch in the start menu of the Dragon Age 2 game on my PlayStation 3.  The message say to get the patch from social.bioware.com...but the link does not work and does not seem to be a valid option from the PS3.

    I have tried to look in the extras and the add-ons or downloadable content are within the DA2 game, but no luck on any patches.

    I have tried to search through the saved game data and on the PSN, but no luck.

    Any ideas or instructions on how to SPECIFICALLY get and install the patch would be very helpful.  I would like to stop getting the messages and before I expereince the major bugs as I am approaching 12-15 hours of playing in the game already.

    Thank You,

    Lance C.

    there is no way for PS3 users to update the game. i have searched for weeks. inevitably i have received a refund for all of the DLC for the game.

    if you can tell us how to update it, many of us would appreciate it.
