THE BUZZ: BioWare has released a new patch for Star Wars: The Old Republic, fixing some UI issues, but it fails to address the recently discovered dance exploit.

The bug makes your character invincible to enemy attacks when you use the dance emote. ”We’re currently testing this patch, and we hope to have it deploy sometime in the early hours of the morning tomorrow (CST),” BioWare said. ”But if we experience any issues with this patch, we may hold off its deployment until tomorrow night.”

EGM’s TAKE: This is a potentially game wrecking bug that could make even the toughest of bosses easy to beat, so hopefully the patch goes live without a hitch.
