I would like to know if anyone can play Dragon Age with patch 1.03 without crashing, lagging and low FPS.

If so, I hope you can give me your computer specifications. I consider buying a new computer so that I finally can play awakening. The one I have should be far more than good enough, and the game was working perfect before 1.03. After that "patch" however, the game became unplayable due to random crashing all the time, and always in the final battle. There are also lagging (slow response) and low FPS introduced with 1.03.

(Doesn't look like Bioware care to do anything with the problems, as all they would have to do is to remove the chages in 1.03. Some of the other bugs in 1.03 like dog search and stealing are very easy to fix if you know coding, and BIoware has been told how to do it one month ago. No response at all.

Bioware: You will not make money on a patch in itself, but with poor support you will lose customers for future projects. I choosed to not buy Mass Effect 2 because of this.)

Would you like a quick run down of my specs, or a C&P of all potentially relevant info from a DxDiag file?



My only remaining issues with 1.03 went away with the combination of the latest nVIDIA drivers and .NET Framework update.

When I first got Awakenings with the 1.03 patch it crashed occasionally. But I got a fix from the Explorer Suite program. There is a script patch that lets you use more than 4gb of ram or caps the game from reading more than 2gb. I used the first which worked for me. Now it doesn't crash at all. Incase it matters my specs are.

I had occasional problems with lagging during boss fights, but I only had one crash in my playthrough of Awakening

well i have those low fps issues with any patch. In ostagar i get whopping 33-29 fps on high settings 1440x900 no AA and i thought that maybe its the 1.03 patch, but it wasnt. I also get low fps in lotharing which is weird because there isint anything THAT much going on. Starting to get pretty pissed off and i dont think i'm going to pay 50-60 euros of any game ever again. When i think about what else i could have got with that money...arg! instead i get fu..ing paper weight which is supposed to been exellent game.



sorry for all the ****ing but i'm getting so frustrated...

Have you tried different drivers? ATI's driver support is one of the reasons I went back to Nvidia.

My experience with the Geforce drivers versus an 8600 GTS was much worse than any similar ATI experience on drivers since 2001 . .

well i try not to take side with either nvid nor ati but what i have gathered so far ati got cheaper and a lot power in their gpu's but nvid seems to have far better optimization when talking about gaming. I have seen countless times that some low fps issues and such are ONLY ati cards but nvid doesn't and my favorite cant enable some effect on ati card or it will kill your fps.



I think it would be safe to stay away from those GOTY games and much hyped ones because they seem to almost always to be full of these damn bugs.optimisation problems,crashes,lags too good to be true to expect best games ACTUALLY WORK!

[eshrafel]

It is fine for me. The framerate is never fantastic with this game despite the under-par graphics in general, but it is good enough to play certainly. I came in straight at 1.03 though, I only got the game recently. NVIDIA here.

Playing at 1920x1080 never seen any slowdowns anywhere. Nice and smooth

Edit:

Also I have had the Steam Deluxe version since release and have never seen a crash or a bug for that matter. Finished the games 3 times now.   I guess I am just lucky, it might be the super clean gaming computer i use ( nothing installed on it except games ). I use my laptop for surfing and office and stuff.

2x Ati Radeon 4850 1GB in Crossfire
8GB DDR2 memory
Windows Vista x64

Playing at 2560x1600 full-screen with every setting maxed out except for high detail instead of very high detail. Runs smoothly for hours at least, I personally prefer more quality in slow-moving scenes and some slowdowns in heavy action, but it certainly is playable at my settings. The game runs very smoothly at 1920x1200, but I prefer the sharpness of 2560x1600 over a strechted out 1920x1200 on my screen. I had some crashes in Awakenings, maybe 3-5 when playing through the whole campaign, annoying at the very least, but nothing really game-breaking.

I can play without crashes too often assuming I avoid entire parts of the game (certain spells for the mage, mostly). The game runs okay when I first start it up but I get continual performance degradation as the game goes on, especially in the form of load times and inventory screens taking more time to open. Running a Core i7 920 at 4.01 GHz, 6 GB DDR3-1600 RAM and an 8800 GT, I get some framerate issues occasionally, but that's due to my aging video card and not so much the game's fault.

Well, I crash to desktop like crazy with my Alienware M17x. Its running Vista 64, has 4gb ram and 280M cards in SLI. Its bad enough that I just have to set the game aside. Happens at seemingly random times as well. I've tried all sorts of different drivers, running on one core, reinstalling DirectX versions, running the utility that lets the game access larger memory space, and I still get crashes. The only time I haven't crashed is when I ran the game with sound disabled for an hour. However, I decided quickly that I can't run the game like that -- it's just not worth it and kills the game experience -- so I haven't tested that out further. Unfortunately, if sound is the problem, I don't have any updated sound drivers for my Alienware M17x.

I bought the dragon age over 6 months ago and got to play 6hours before couldn't stand any more of performance. Also posted to customer support and response were totally useless...nice to see some can play this game fine. customer support said that drop rez to 800x640 LIKE I WOULD SEE ANYTHING ELSE THAN GODDAMN PIXELS WITH THAT RESOLUTION! Well looks like i need to win in lottery and buy alienware comp to play this game...i also read somewhere that intel quads should put affinity to 2 cores and it would boost frames, i didnt try that though. Any tips anyone?

[ShinsFortress]

I didn't have that problem, but I quit because of basic gameplay issues that got past woeful QA (e.g. Stealing).

[MrBigA]

I rarely have issues with slowdowns (first time I played I had a 2 minute delay in loading the endgame sequence) and never had a crash (at least never a crash that was not caused by a mod or toolset tweak). The gameplay is super smooth and responsive with these settings: 1920x1080, Graphics detail - Very High, AA - off, Texture Detail - high, full screen, vertical synch - on, frame buffer on. I have been playing since November and have lots and lots of mods installed. I also have Awakenings and all of the DLC except for the Darkspawn one (doesn't interest me).



I built this PC over a year ago and it is still performing very well.

Well, I ran this game pretty amazingly up until I made the huge mistake of downloading patch 1.03.... now I can't play more than 5 minutes on any character or save without the game crashing hardcore and it's very fustraiting and pisses me off that they still have yet a fix for this crap.

[AceBro]

^^^ added to what I said there,

Anyone know of some kind of fix for this? I would like to be able to actually play this game... like i said, it ran great for awhile up until updated to 1.03 then crash constantly now. i dont have awakening, just original DAO.

Until patch 1.3 i was using

HD 4850

Athlon 4000+ X2

2GB DDR2

The game was unplayable for me, constant fps drops, especially during looting, half an hour loading screens, i completed game once and i haven't touch it until 1.3 arrived.



With patch 1.3 i didn't see at start much of improvements, especially in loading times until i decided to reinstall my windows and install new ati drivers, the improvement was huge then, i could max out my graphic settings and keep decent fps, although it was dropping from time to time at some locations.



Recently i changed my processor so my specs are:

Phenom X2 555 BE @ 3,2ghz

Radeon HD 4850

2GB DDR2

Windows XP SP3



I play with maxxed out settings, constant fps around 50, no lag, no fps drops, loading times extremaly short.

If you want anybody to give you advice despite your (understandable) aggravations at least post your system specifications like processor, video card, memory, operating system and such or link to a post where you already listed this information.

Sorry, i did put my specs they are in my first post on this topic but here comes:

vista 64bit
c2q9400 2.66ghz
hd 5770 1gb
4gb ddr2 ram
not best possible comp but should be more than enough to this game.

[TurboGerbils]

yeah i did a test to see if it was my computer or the game. I can EASILY run crysis on high but my FPS was crippled when I played DA:O after 1.03. I played on lowest resolution, lowest graphical settings and no AA. Every 15 minutes I had a lagstorm and it is most definately gamebreaking. Any help would be much appreciated

why won't you just get rid of the patch as you said it ran great before getting it? you have to probably reinstall the game and you can keep the save but don't know will it work with previuos patch, but hey at least you can play the game...
