    I just began the dowload and it's not too busy yet. The patch is roughly 35MB and the new content is around 300MB.

    Yea ^ ^ . Soldier is the best starter class. And likely the best class in game. Overkill + Good weapons is just gg.

    Good to hear this is out though. I will likely play it when i get my new laptop.

    Me too. Somehow it always works out that when I update my computer or gaming system, it's solely to play a Bioware RPG. There games must be that good or there are subliminal messages in them that tell me I must play Bioware games :D

    It's a little tough in the beginning when you only have a couple of wimpy, short lasting powers and not much to show for it, but it gets better quite quickly.

    What bug? besides it taking FOREVER to travel in an elevator, also it triggers motion blur sometimes and thats annoying.

    I'm pretty sure that the update is included in the new content. I got the same error message from the update, so I just moved on to the new content and now my version is 1.01

    When I started playing , basically I had a 50% chance of getting stuck in a elevator: my party enter in it but the doors never close and everybody is stuck in there, I had to quicksave evry single time I saw something that looked like an elevator... I doesn't show up anymore but since I'll certainly replay the game with another class I was wondering if that had been fixed. :D
