Hi. Have you tried playing with patch 1.02a installed without Awakening? I am not where you are in my new game. I still in the Origins story.

[CesUtd]

Okay. I played more of Awakening and noticed no crashes anywhere. I try play my origins one till the mage quest. Maybe I can offer suggestions then.

Off the top of my head I done some things to my game that seem to stop my game crashing.

1. Took all online options off except upload player profile
2. Disabled anti aliasing, vertical sync,frame buffer
3. Added an exception to Dragon Age: origins in data prevention.
4. Set the game in compatibility mode to windows xp service pack 3.
5. reinstalled and repaired c++ runtime libraries. Make sure if you use 64 bit OS to repair or reinstall the c++ 64 bit version.

I use windows 7 ultimate edition 64 bit and never crashed with 1.04.

Hopefully if you try these your game won't crash. I tried and played the game with all patches for over 40 hours and never crashed anywhere. A couple of annoying freezes but no crash.

I am glad it seems to be working for you. I seen a couple of weird things in the game especially with the magi circle quests but thank goodness I never crash. Would be annoying.

Win7 + newer video card + DA = weird crashes. It's annoying. /nod



I run Win7 Home Premium 64-bit myself and am using (2) BFG 8800 GTX OC 768MB video cards in SLI mode with PhysX enabled.



With some video settings, I crashed like crazy. I'd try this. I'd try that. Do this. Do that. Bah! I finally gave up trying to figure out why it was crashing and focused on what I could do to prevent crashing, and this is all I've come up with:



Set AA to 8xQ (8x works, but with PhysX enabled, I use 8xQ instead). The software won't allow the game to run above 8x, even when I turn on "Override Application Setting" in the NVIDIA control panel. Bah! Also, I found that setting my AF to 16x was too much of a performance hit with mediocre returns, so I keep AF at 8x. If my Vsync is on, so is Triple Buffering. Everything else you'll have to "test" for yourself.

Do you use Morrigan and Wynne by any chance? Also what spells do you have them use? I know certain magic spells crash the game. I been playing the game from the start again and still no crashes so can't really help.

Also what graphic card driver do you use?

 Strange about framework 2 though. Mine went fine, at first asked that it was not installed correctly so I uninstalled it then ran as admin and installed it and no problems and did the same with awakening. I never use Wynne. Rely on healing potions instead. I prefer Morrigan.

Do you get any visual problems before the game crashes? Maybe there are other spells that cause crashing as well.

I am not sure what could cause it to crash. Does Awakening crash as well?

[Basher of Glory]

Before 1.04 came out, the game crashed when certain spells were used, such as mana clash.
Now these spells seem to work, but the game crashes occasionally and without a "reason". Sometimes it crashes during combat and then it crashes in camp or elsewhere, when no special action is performed.

I guess that this is a Win 7 problem, for whatever reasons there might be. Under Vista and 1.03 we could at least determine the reason of the crash (like said spells). Now it crashes randomly, which is typical for a general problem with the OS.

Request:
I recently bought my first ATI-graphics (Sapphire HD 5570, 1 GB DDR3-RAM). Please tell me, that nVidia-users suffer the same crashing problems and that it's NOT an ATI-thing.

EDIT:
W7 offers a routine to check if a program is compatible or not. Finally it seems to run without crashing when I set it to Vista SP2 compatibility.
Odd: W7 lists DA as "not compatible application".

Since some hours I had no crashes now, with one exception. When the camp was assaulted by all these shreekers, the game crashed when I moved my main. But I think, this is a problem on my side, perhaps too many mods running.

Glad to hear, that I didn't run into one of the common ATI-things

BTW, whatever they list on the packages might be true for the systems they tested it with.
I am certain, that there might be one or two configurations out of some thousands on which even this game runs stable. Reason enough for BW (and all other game companies)  to blame ALWAYS the user first, if something is not running 
:innocent:

I think I got such a system. Maybe I did something right. No idea. I have tried a lot to make my game crash and have failed. It just won't crash. I can try help but with no first hand experience it is difficult to help. I use ultimate ran diagnostics and many things worked correctly again and no OS problems. I don't understand it. With windows xp I had to reinstall every 2 months but Windows 7 has never given me the same problem.



Which version of windows 7 do you use?

[Basher of Glory]

W7 ultimate, 32 bit.

Mostly I'm, too, one of those without problems at all. But not in this game.
If I remember correctly I had no problems right after release, but for some reasons the patches made it bad and worse for me.

It would be nice to hear, if Vista- and XP-users have these crashes, too.

I won't entirely blame BioWare for the problems, because many other games - with "W7 supported" written on the packages - are crashing over and over again; CIV 5 is one example.

In my case I'm quite certain, that some mods are additional reasons. Since I disabled "extra dog slot", the game - still in Vista SP2 compatibility mode - runs even more stable.

Poor dog

@Hrolgar83 since you have 64 bits windows, you may try to enable large_adress_aware.
http://social.biowar...69576/3#5005153
That will Give DAOrigins 4GB virtuell memory instead of 2GB.

@Baher of Glory Users with 32 bits Windows may also enable large_adress_aware, as above.
But to get the benefits and give DAOrigins more memore you also have to do some system tweaking, named Increase UserVa.

Instructions for Vista 32-bit OS for setting the 3GB memory setting.

To SET the 2.5GB switch in 32-bit VISTA, do the following:

1) Right-click 'Command Prompt" under -- Start > Accessories > Command Prompt
2) Choose 'Run as Administrator'
3) Type "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 2560" and press [Enter]
4) Restart the computer

This will give 2.5 to applikations and 1.5GB to system, default is 2GB to applikation and 2GB to system.

To REMOVE the 2.5GB switch in 32-bit VISTA, do the following:

1) Right-click 'Command Prompt" under -- Start > Accessories > Command Prompt
2) Choose 'Run as Administrator'
3) Type "bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa" and press [Enter]
4) Restart the computer .

Two questions:



1) Is this also relevant for 32-bit Windows 7 users?

2) When I run DA:O under W7 with compatibility setting "Vista SP2", would it make sense then all the more?

[PerLindstrom]

1) Yes it is also relevant for Windows 7 32 bit.
2) It makes sense in both cases.

To my understanding the procedure, for W7 and Vista is equal.
XP32 is a bit different, there you have to edit your boot.ini

Seems to help. Some hours gameplay without crashes.



So:

Compatibility mode Vista SP2 + your tweak seem to do the job
