Ambient Occlusion is a rendering technique used to darken shadowed area in an image by reducing ambient lighting (like the light coming from sun) in these parts. In Dragon Age, it is used when you enabled Frame-Buffer Effects option.

Wow.. I can't even play this game anymore.

I have a Steam version of DA:O and Awakening installed (patch 1.4), and it crashes right after it starts, I don't even get to see intro movies (Bioware and EA logos I mean).

The last time I played DA was to check out Lelliana's Song DLC that just came out. Everything worked. Today I wanted to play through the latest Golems DLC, I installed DA again from Steam, it auto-updated to 1.4 and now it's a complete mess.

I tried to turn off a few settings, and the ONLY time it worked is when I switched on 'Disable Sound' in DA config utility, after that DA loaded the main menu. But that's not a solution (PS: I have Creative X-Fi Platinum soundcard with lastest drivers, don't have any problems with it otherwise)

What the hell is going on with patch 1.4? It's even worse now than it was with 1.3 version, at least then I could have played the game from the begining to the end, even disregarding that Awakening was full of bugs. At least the game never crashed before.

Judging by Steam forums a lot of people a having problems with the latest patch. Is there no word about this mess from BioWare?

Maybe someone should create a unified thread about 1.4 patch problems?

Would be nice to get some answers from BioWare as to why so many people are having such different problems with it and how to fix them, or if we can expect another patch (yeah, fat chance of that happening now that they are probably all busy making DA2)

I'm noticing some slight performance issues on my laptop, even with the settings on medium (and I have a good laptop). I'm also getting CTD's since patch 1.04 (or maybe that's just the no-cd I got being instable, who knows).



No, the thing about 1.04 that really brings my ****** to a boil is how stupidly long it takes for my DLC to be authorized. A good 30 seconds to a frigging minute!

You need your own message, with your own information included.  This thread isn't about how the uninstall works, or doesn't work, at least not primarily.  It is not about how the patch 1.04 installs, or does not do so, either.

Maybe you can check this thread about registry issue with the CD Key.

I just started playing the Awakening expansion since the 1.04 Crack..er patch and have noticed some changes. There are a number of good changes that I think was done in the 1.04 but there are also some not so good. In the Wending Wood you go down into the Silverite Mine and are captured by the Architect; in the past you got your armor back from killing one of the darkspawn test subjects but not anymore! My other players got their armor etc back just fine by my character never got anything back and lost all of the armor, weapons, rings and charms. This is a really big problem! Anyone else had this issue?

The 1.04 patch has incresed stability for me so far, have only had 1 CTD since installing it. Generally, everything else seems ok. However, I play as a mage and in some areas the audio goes a bit wonky when casting lightning spells and so on. This didn't happen with 1.03, so I suspect it's something to do with the updated audio drivers BioWare put into the new patch. I also have noticed a few times where voices suddenly became muffled during coversations, it's hard to explain but it happens. I have a 5.1 speaker setup, so it's obvious when it happens.



Other than that though, the game is running ok for me.
