.NET 4.0. .NET 3.5 is the default version installed on Windows 7. My crashing problems diminished to next to nothing, and my loading times were cut in half. At least until this current patch, that is.



I had one problem months ago with authorization when the servers went offline for a while, and found out that to avoid it in the future I should log off once everything re-authorized. I've pretty much been playing offline ever since. Next time your DLC is fully authorized, log off, and the game will play just fine with all the DLC enabled so long as the Dragon Age Origins - Content Updater service is running. And then stay offline, unless you want to do some character/achievement uploading.

As far as I can see, Patch 1.04 has NOT solved the random crashing issue. I have a hi-powered computer with all the latest patches. I can play other games, including Mass Effect 2, with all options maxed without an issue. But DAO continues to crash at least once per hour of play time (sometimes more often). It seems the more I keep restarting the game to play, the more often it crashes.



I am not buying anymore DLC for DAO. I have had this game since day one and have been able to play, but the persistent crashing is just a pain. Guess I will wait for DA2, cause it is obvious that DAO is a poorly designed game. Fun when it works, and some great innovations. But an unstable game is a poor game. Mass Effect is far superior.



Bioware? Don't know the specifics, but DAO is a dissappointment. I know you can and have done better. But something went seriously wrong with DAO. Just an opinion from a Bioware fan and I hope you take the criticism to heart for any future games. Thanks for letting me rant.

Y'know, for a few days, I played Mass Effect (before I got bored with it), and I looked at Performance and Reliability Monitor.  My system actually made it all the way to up to 7 from the lingering 4 it was thanks to DA:O.  I shudder to think how low it's sunk once more after the 80 billion or so crashes I've had the last two days   Guess it just shows how much I love the game despite the performance issues.  Oh well.

Just adding to the list of people with this issue. I have to exit and restart the game every 30 minutes as a work around.

AMD Phenom 9600
ATI HD5850
4GB RAM
Auzen Mystique Audio card (for 5.1 spdif) uses Cmedia CMI8768+
Highpoint Rocket Raid 2320 controller configured as Raid 5 with 6 drives
8GB flash drive configured as Readyboost
Windows 7
.NET 4.0
Steam version of Dragon Age Origins Deluxe 1.04

Somehow with ME2 and every other game I have no issue and all video/audio settings show no change in poor performance in DAO.

Hoping for a fix,
Aule

Performance issues definetely have increased with patch 1.04. With 1.03 I had pretty much no crashing,but since I updated to 1.04 the game tends to crash everytime I play it. That said; Bioware ought to fix this ASAP.

As you are using an HD 5770 graphic card, have you disabled ATI HDMI Audio device in Windows Devices Manager?

Anyone playing this game on a computer with >3GB physical memory installed *must* understand that there's only one daorigins.exe installed...and it does not use memory above 2GB unless patched.



I see a large number of folks on Win7 64-bit with 8GB or more physical memory. Guess what, this game seems to want about 2.5GB memory (or more once it's running for >30 minutes).



There are threads on this forum, and other places, that will give the gory details of making a copy of daorigins.exe, downloading CFF Explorer (for free) and patching the headers of daorigins.exe so that it can use more memory. It's not a panacea, but on two WinXP systems it made me a believer--and I've been building my own PCs since 1992 (and helped my father solder components onto a TRS-80 expansion in 1979...)

Ok, with a



Asus Motherboard

with

Twin CPU Slots

and each has

a

AMD 6x core, so thats 12 processers at 3.8ghz each



3 BFG Nividia 295, with 1 gb each for a total of 3 gb of video ram



16gb of system ram



Windows 7 Ult 64bit



All the latest drivers and software.



With this you should be able to Plot a corse to mars. but with this game I have to run all the graphics all the way down and still have some of the worse lag. I feal like im playing Ever Quest with a Raid of 300+ people back in 1999. I play WOW, and all kind of other high intence games and with the graphic settings set to max with no lag, even in wow raids with over 500 others on the screen at the same time and dont have this kind of problem.



As i posted a few weeks ago,



The 1.03 patch helped, but all of this was still there, the 1.04 patch changed nothing, except the fact that i could play the new addon. Other wise the game is at its most unplayable sence the release of the 1.02a patch. I'm realy disapointed bitware.

Have you tried to disable GPU PhysX in nVidia control panel?

@Jasemen

A dual socket mainboard with a 6-core processor in each socket is definitely a workstation class mainboard, as this is uncommon hardware to be playing games with, please list the full type and model number of your Asus mainboard. You state that the processors are running at 3.8 GHz, which would be heavily overclocked for such a system, or are you using the Opteron 4184 6-core 2.8GHz processors instead and was the 3.8GHz just a typo?

Hi there, I am having some rather annoying performance issues too. I've had them before 1.04 as well but never this frequent. I recently did a full system reinstall. Made sure my video drivers, directx and everything else was up to date. I made sure all firewalls and virusscanners were disabled, including the Windows firewall. The issues vary. Usually the longer I play, the slower the game gets, but as of late my game crashes entirely before it even gets a chance to slow down. I am playing in windowed mode.

I'm running Dragon Age on the following system:

AMD PhenomII X4 910 (2.6GHz)

6GB DDR3-SDRAM PC3-8500 (533 MHz) - (2x2+2x1 GB)

ATI Radeon HD4850 1GB

Seagate ST3750528AS Harddrive (750GB)

Windows 7 Home Premium (x64)


Now I rather have a smoothrunning game, but in any case I'd take the slowing down over the frequent crashing any day. Hope you are able to locate the cause soon. Oh another thing I noticed.. it seems to happen at the same place more often than others and not just in the regular game but also in Leliana's Song. Not really tried the Golems expansion yet. Another thing I noticed was it happening in the harder fights more often (Flemeth and most other bosses tend to trigger the crash midfight) - for me anyway.

Well that was all,

Ardyn

This problem is obviously caused by the patches (personally I didnt have any problems with the 1.03 patch other then the occasional CTD while playing awakening) but after playing origins again with the 1.04 patch large battles get really choppy and almost unplayable. The game also maxes out both of my cpu cores, something which it has never done before so again its obviously some very nasty memory leaks.
I was able to run origins perfectly fine before 1.04/1.03 even with the HD texture mod.
I hope the next patch, if there will be one, will actually fix more problems then it causes so far im far from impressed as it really puts a damper on my ability to play dragon age.

 I am getting slowdowns, and eventual crashes(used the 4gb fix so I can go quite awhile w/o a crashing).  The crashing I can deal with but the slow down is so annoying, specially with my system.

Win7(64bit)
8Gigs of Ram
2T HD at 7200
AMD Phenom™ II X4 965 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz

And I have the 5970...  I have the best driver for games with this card(10.4), for this game even, and I still get slowdowns.  It is a bit ridicules, considering how long this problem has been around.

Since the last patch, i've noticed that the game gets gradually more sluggish as i play, in fact today i was playing through the last battle and in one particular zone my frame rate dropped so badly that i ended up soloing as the rest of my team died during a freeze spike. I find a reset clears the issue for an hour or so, but then it starts to chug again.

I'm having similar issues. Prior to patch 1.4 I could run the game perfectly with no slowdowns on max settings, averaging 55-60 fps. Since patch 1.4 I can only play for about 30 minutes before I have to restart the game due to the sudden choppiness and slowdown, no matter what part of the game I am at. Its extremely annoying since this is the first real problem I've had with DAO, I did not even have any issues with patch 1.3.

I actually had the same problems as you, so random CTDs and many slowdowns. I really tried EVERYTHING mentioned in any threads here. So I extended the RAM, downgraded my Catalyst drivers, played without any graphical details, without sound, compatibility mode, BIOS Update...



Finally I decided to downgrade DA to 1.02 and everythin' is fine. Of course it really sucks that I can't use witchhunt or any DLC there's still to come but at least I can play. Really sad.

I am thinking of going back to 1.02 as well. I had hoped 1.04 would have fixed whatever changed in 1.03 but it did not, and its doubtful at this point there will be anymore patches.

And it still stand true.. 6 months later.. and they havent released a patch.. D:

[Zepplin_Rules]

One f'in year later and I still can't play Dragon Age without crashes, I spent about a hundred dollars on plastic with pictures of dragons on it. Thank you Bioware and EA.
