All of a sudden, I am having serious lag issues even though I made no change to the game directory or my computer.

I have an Asus Intel Core Duo CPU 2.13GHz
4 GB RAM
Video: Nivdia GeForce GTX 260M (I check the driver it is updated)

I've got this game in April and never had any performace problems and I've finished the campaign several times so late game was never an issue.  After loading up my game from finishing the Paragon of a Kind quest, I ran into that random encoutner with the two ogres and dwarves and had serious lag issues (e.g. I;d yell out war cry and 5 seconds later the enemies would go flying).  I rebooted my computer, and went to do Shale's quest in Cadash Taig and had the same lag issues.  Started a new game: same lag.  Unistalled and clean install: still lag (although not as bad, but it is still there).

I'm out of ideas.  Nothing changed on my PC from last night to this afternoon, I've checked my video drivers and even did a clean re-install and still have lag.  Dragon Age has always run fine on my PC and now it doesn't.  I feel stupid even asking about this because its kind of incredulous that I all of a sudden have problems but that's the case.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi. What patch version are you using and what windows as well?



Example: patch 1.04 and windows 7

[Joy Divison]

Oh yeah, you'd need that



I always had Windows 7. I originally had patch 1.03 (I didn't upgrade). When I reinstalled I did update to 1.04. So I guess I had both and I didn;t see a difference

Try going in to the config file in libraries/documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/Settings/Dragon Age



Once you are there change refreshrate=60 to refreshrate=75.



Maybe that will help. Also try disabling the online options you don't need.

Are you overheating?

[CesUtd]

I never asked but are you using a laptop? If so you might have what CrustyCat posted.

[Joy Divison]

I am using a laptop. How would I know if I am overheating?

LOL, I realize that's a dumb question.  I meant before I see smoke, having the machine automatically shutdown, etc., is there some sort of diagnostic that one could run to test whether or not their laptop is running within recommended parameters?

you can get a program called realtemp here http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ and monitor your cpu and gpu temps. I believe that laptops will downclock if they are getting too warm.

A question are you trying to play the game on highest settings? Your CPU core speeds is a bit low also.

[CrustyCat]

The CPU speed is probably ok, it's probably one of the various mobile processors that intel had at that speed.

[DABhand]

Yeah was wondering if they had settings up to high, thusly although the CPU is in the bounds of needed CPU for the game, the high settings could bottleneck the CPU. Hence why I asked the op

For a while I thought I had the issue solved by closing my web browser, but after starting a new game the fight at Redcliff brought on the lag again, so bad this time I had a CTD.



I haven't changed the default settings and what is a mystery to me is that I never had any previous issues with the game at its original settings or having a browser on in the background and now I can't play the game.



I'm betting it is my laptop now
