The patch, clocking in at 996.1 MB on Steam, is relatively compact and can be downloaded swiftly.

Let’s explore the most thrilling changes and additions in this update. For those curious about the complete patch notes, they are available on the second page of this article.
## N7 Armor: A Homage to Mass Effect
In honor of *Mass Effect Day* (commonly referred to as N7 Day, celebrated each year on November 7), BioWare has introduced a distinctive cosmetic armor set to *Dragon Age: The Veilguard*. This N7-themed armor pays tribute to the *Mass Effect* franchise, enabling players to wear a sci-fi-inspired attire within the fantastical realm of *Dragon Age*.
The armor is offered in two styles: one featuring a coat and the other without. You can view the armor in the gallery below:
### How to Acquire the N7 Armor
You don’t have to defeat any archdemons to claim this fashionable armor. Just make your way to the lighthouse in the game and step outside. There, a chest awaits you in front of the in-house upgrade station, along with a brief note from Harding attached. Inside the chest, you’ll discover the N7 armor ready for you.
## 3 Minor Enhancements for PC Gamers
While the patch mainly targets bug fixes, there are a few significant enhancements for PC gamers:
1. **Crash Fixes**: A number of players experienced crashes while engaging with *Dragon Age: The Veilguard* on PC. This patch seeks to address those concerns, providing a more stable gameplay experience.
2. **DLSS Bug Resolution**: A glitch that rendered the DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) settings unavailable for users with Nvidia 40-series graphics cards has been rectified. Players with these GPUs can now fully access DLSS to improve performance and visuals.
3. **XeSS Update**: The game has been updated to Intel XeSS version 1.3.1, which enhances Intel’s AI-driven upscaling technology (Xe Super Sampling) for users with Intel graphics cards.
