So after Update 2, I had my first headache with this game just trying to get the game to launch. It said it couldn't connect to the servers.

Changing the quality in the settings doesn't matter. The FPS is still tanking. Before this update, I was running with the game maxed out (except for multisampling) without any problems. Smooth performance. Now I can't even play the game on its lowest settings.

I'm redownloading the game now with auto-update turned off. I won't be updating this game or any other game in the future from BioWare until I've seen it doesn't break the game. When was BioWare's awesome team replaced by a bunch of monkeys? This update is shameful.

How did the new installation work for you? I did the same thing with auto-update turned off, but the game still can't be played. Wonder if they merged the patch into the main download or something.

I'm gonna say since they were aquired by EA. They botched up Mass Effect 3 as soon as they got their mits on it and now the Dragon Age franchise
