Hi all! I saw a few posts on the performance topic(s) prior to the 1.04 patch and none of them helped me. Basically I played through Origins and Awakening on High settings, no problem. I later purchased the Darkspawn DLC and the performance was horrible from the first second I tried to play. I can only describe it as choppy/lag/slow. I push a button and seconds later it registers and does something. It was excruciating! I purchased through Steam so am kept up to date on patches. Once I received patch 1.04 I had to lower my video settings to Low to get the game to even run it was so bad and even then it's somewhat slow but I'm not playing the game on Low it's so ugly. I tried starting a new game of Origins (to rule out the dlc) and that was the same, terrible performance. Here are my system specs:
Processor Intel Duo 2.4Ghz
Memory 4Gigs
Display Nvidea Geforce 7950 GT
Windows XP
DirectX updated to the latest
Here's what I won't do: upgrade windows or buy a new video card. The above is all supported by Bioware and was more than enough to play through Origins and Awakening on High settings the first time around. I've also tried defrag. What gives with the performance, what changed? It's not a memory leak I don't think because it's *immediate*. It's not a degradation after 15 minutes like some people are reporting it's right off the bat. I have been working with EA support for almost a month on this to no avail. If anybody has any answers I'd love to hear them, thanks!
