I see there is a new patch available for DA (1.02a), but I have not been able to find an info sheet on any of the sites offering the patch. In fact, the patch is not listed with the other DA patches on the UBI site. Anyone know what it is supposed to do? It was quite a surprise to see this appear so long after the game was released. Thanks!

I think there is only one correction - removed securom protection for online game. You can find more details here:
"SCDA (German / Exclusive)"

Attention, I am going to say something positive for once about SCDA:

I'm happy that Ubisoft decided to remove Securom from SCDA.

thanks for the replies!

why did they bother?

Because the German localization team buggered up the install so that it didn't have securom on the disc, but it still looked for it.

I had a little trouble finding a place to download the new patch. I happened to find it on FileFront and I thought I would submit their link in case you guys needed it.
