BioWare recently revealed the patch notes for the fifth patch update for "Dragon Age: Inquisition." According to the developer, it brings forth a wide array of fixes and improvements on the game's performance and stability.
The latest major update will be available to all platforms. However, there is an issue in the PC version.
BioWare posted in its website, "While we've added the ability to toggle mouse look, this feature is still under development and does not act optimally under all conditions. We are continuing to work on this feature to improve it for future releases."
The game studio previously rolled out a beta version of the patch update. With the help of gamers, they are able to pinpoint issues faster, which, in turn, allows the company to address the problems and release the update sooner. BioWare, however, did not reveal a specific date of its release.

Although not part of Patch 5, there is a new feature called the Black Emporium, which was made accessible to those who joined the beta program. It is a new shop set up in the game where players can buy rare and powerful items like artifacts, weapons and accessories. The studio is also including an option for party storage, which will enable gamers to permanently save items and add more stuff. Previously, players were allowed to store a very limited number of items.
