 After downloading and installing the latest patch, my game has crashed constantly. I get to play anywhere between 10 minutes to 30 minutes before the game suddenly and abruptly crashes. I wasn't having issues with that nearly as much before I installed the latest patch. I'm sorry if this issue is covered elsewhere, but I didn't see anything about it. As for what I run, I have Wardens keep, Return to Ostagar, Awakening, Shales DLC and some user hair mods and the ancient elven boots mod :-P

I'd say lose the mods and try it out, but no, many, many people have reported crashes after patching. Are you using 1.03 or 1.04? From what version (1.02a, 1.03, etc.) did you update? Under what circumstances is the game crashing? Is it consistent? Is it reproducible? Answering these questions could provide the developers with useful information when/if they decide to fix this game with a proper update.

For your immediate purposes, I would suggest downgrading to 1.02a unless playing Awakening is absolutely necessary. 1.03 introduced many of these problems and they remain unaddressed in 1.04 and there is no help being provided by Bioware. Instead, the only "official" support is through EA at help.dragonage.com, where your report will be recorded and you will be encouraged to post on these forums. However, as this particular forums is for members of the community to provide help to one another and this particular issue can only be addressed by the developer, there is not much else to do but revert to the last stable version of the game: 1.02a - until Bioware fixes all the stuff they broke in 1.03.

Honestly, it can be pretty random, though it does seem like it happens more during or right before large boss fights. As for reverting to a previous patch, I really enjoy Awakening, and I have every DLC besides Leliana's song... So I doubt those would work well (Just got witch hunt and golems). Now though what's bothering me is that all of my older DLC's are coming up as "unauthorized" even though I have the newest patch. Pretty bothersome... Do these patches truly help?

Patch 1.04 "fixes" authourizing DLC's. The only thing it seems to have done is require that players be logged on to DA servers in order to authourize DLC's that have already been installed and previously authourized.

I just play the game off-line now (ie NOT logged on to DA servers) and I'm able to play the game fine with all DLC activated.

If your DLC is still unauthourized, you have to Log On to the DA servers while on the Main page. Check the Download page and wait until your Bioware points total is updated (ie not spinning). Once this is done, all of your DLC will be considered authourized. At this point, go to the Online options page and UNCHECK all the On-line options. Quit Dragon Age. Go back into Dragon Age and you will be considered off-line and all of your DLC will still be authourized. You can then Resume your saved game.

Well I just completely uninstalled the game besides my saved characters and reinstalled everything. I'm not having any issues with unauthorized content anymore. Though I still occasionally get game crashes.



Also Zy-El, I did that with the content before and it didn't help, I followed the trouble shooting guide and nothing helped out of the many options I went threw. So far reinstalling everything is the only thing that worked, hopefully it stays this way.

I also am experiencing these crashes, about every forty minutes. Could it be hardware related?

Have you tried to enable large_adress_aware?

After playing the game for awhile now again after reinstalling everything, I'll say that the game crashes haven't stopped. They frequent during boss fights, and 50% of the time when I use explosives. I haven't had any "unauthorized DLC" problems though after reinstalling everything.

Chances are very high that you have the bad luck to be running a system that is incompatible with the 1.03 / 1.04 patches.  Almost all such systems are either Vista or Windows 7, and TTBOMK, the primary workaround (there has been no acknowledgment from Bioware / EA that too many such systems have trouble) has been splitting up the hard drive to make room for a dual version install, and run the game in Windows XP, or else forego the most recent DLCs and the expansion, in order to stop at patch 1.02A

I run Vista 64 home premium, thanks for the response gorath. Seems like alot of trouble though to get a game to function as it should of in the first place.

It isn't a 100% across the board problem for all Vista and Windows 7 game owners, not by a long shot, but whatever the cause, it affects those OS versions severely, while not affecting XP systems in anything like a similar percentage.

Are you familiar with the Clean Boot procedure?  It might help you identify some optional service or program that when it runs in Windows Vista / 7, creates system incompatibilities.  Any services you don't recognize, you can use Black Viper's lists to identify those you actually need to keep running, as opposed to those just wasting CPU cycles.
