After patch 2, I started having this bug (which I had never had before) where, after killing the last enemy, the key needed to progress to the next area isn't dropped.I did quite a lot of testing and in every area, I payed active attention as to whether the last enemy we killed was a neutral or a normal enemy. So far, every time the last one was a neutral, the key wasn't dropped and we couldn't progress. Every time it was a normalm enemy, we progressed normally, as intended.So unless this is a hell of a coincidence, I guess we've uncovered the root of the bug.Now, please fix it =p

Hi everyone, Please see our latest update regarding the issue with keys in multiplayer here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/Multiplayer-Update-on-the-Key-Drop-Issue/td-p/421447... Thank you for your patience, Nils Note: While the actual solution will not be implemented until the patch goes live, I will mark this post as solved for now with the sole purpose of increasing its visibility.

Multiplayer bug - key not dropped, can't progress - found the cause

It happens a lot with the bugged Red Templar boss, which clearly ain't neutral... It just stands up after being killed and wanders around.

This is a huge bug, I don't know how they have left it alone this long

I also started having this MP bug when the DLC MP was installed with the alternatives paths that added animals.
Sometimes, I can even see a remaining corpse of an animal who hasn't properly disappeared when killed. Stuck between reality and the Fade ?
We can continue to attack him and he doesn't react because he's surely dead. But no key dropped.

Was having the same problem. I installed the MP DLC and everything was broken (no keys dropping in 75% of all sessions). After I deleted the DLC folder from my hard disc everything works fine again.
I like it without DLC much better. No freaking bulls charging and locking you with knockdown until you die. Now the only annoying thing left is the teleporting demon boss (final stage) that insta kills you when it teleports to your position.

Oh, I think I'll do like you. I will "uninstall" this buggy DLC because I can't 80% of the time finish a game because of this and I dont want to lose my progression every time.
Good thinking.
And you're right, the demon commander is OP. Insta-kill plate-wearer without full health.
By the way, if someone else wants to remove the DLC, here is the default path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\
Remove Multiplayer_DLC1.

Why has this not been fixed or addressed yet?

I have had this happen now about 6 times resulting in the loss of over 12 items and a **bleep** ton of gold...

This happens to me literally 60-70% of the time and I'm about fed up, not going to play multiplayer until it's fixed.

DLC ruined multiplayer on xbox one. While I like the additions, this key dropping bug is a pain. It happens SO MANY TIMES I lost interest in playing. When I do play with my friends, we all playing hoping the bug doesn´t occur.
Everyone bashed Ubi about unity, but Bioware is taking far too long to fix this game. I am disappointed with the frequency of the bug fixes.

Bump!!! This has been going on way too long now. Happens on every system that I'm aware of since the DLC
