Patch for Dorian Bug?

So, I already beat the game twice, romancing Cullen and Solas, and wanted to play through one more time and romance Dorian before finally putting the game down. However, 20 hours into that play through, I realized I had to do this quest in order to initiate romance with him. I have super high approval from him, but mother Giselle never appears outside of the garden to let me start the quest. My next available main quest is the ball, and I don't want to start that before having a romance going.
I sided with the mages, and have talked to Dorian every chance I've had, always do and say things that get his approval, and I've done his quest to kill venatori.

I've read that a lot of people have been having the same issue, of Mother G never appearing to let you initiate the quest, but all of those posts I've seen were from before the most recent patch.
What I'm wondering is if anyone is still having the issue, and if there is any news of a third patch that might fix this.

  • Mother Giselle only appears after you talk to Dorian. If there's a cutscene with Dorian writing a letter, then immediately after, Giselle pops up in the throne room.

    In one of my playthroughs, Dorian's mission only came up after the ball, so that was quite late. Normally when you side with the mages, though, it should trigger much sooner because you've had more time to build up approval. I have read that the bug can happen when your approval is too high before going to Skyhold.

    It's a commonly reported bug and two patches are on the way. I doubt it will be very soon, though. I've read BioWare's offices are closed until the 5th, and then they'll need some time to prepare the patch.
