So from day 1 on dragon age i have had problems, graphic corruption, random and sometime very consistant crashes and game stopping lag (mainly in denerim and orzammar) i have tryed so many work arounds, tweaks and reinstalls but nothing worked, until i turned PhysX GPU acceleration off.

As soon as i turned PhysX off it was magical almost, and dragon age runs great now at full settings (not really saying much seeing as how theres only 3 settings)  and to further prove that this works, i was questing in the dead trenches in the deep roads and i was about half way through the area, i got to the this part with a bunch of skeletons and a genlock emissary attack me and every time DA crashed over and over again, in short i was stuck... i turned PhysX off and not only did i finish the dead trenches but for the rest of the night DA did not crash, lag or have corrupt graphics whatsoever .   


Intel Core 2 Duo 3.16 ghz
4 gigs of ram
2x Nvidia 8800 GT 512mb
Vista home premium 32B

Now im not saying that this will work for everyone but im hoping that this will help some, but i still need to further test it as i only played for another 2-3 hours after the fix.

Oh and i am running the latest Nvidia driver.

can you tell me what happens when you re-enable PhysX and run from the 2nd core please?

[moose777]

how do you turn PhysX off?

[moose777]

wow!!! It worked. Thanks. I kept crashing when the guard talks to you across the bridge at ostagar.

I have the same problem, graphic corruption and all.  Does that work for you?


and im glad it works for you Moose

[JironGhrad]

hmmm.... do you have an ATI or NVidia card moose? Thanks for the imput Pract1t0ner

[Pract1t10ner]

Only Nvidia has PhysX, so i assume he has an Nvidia card, of course i might be wrong about that.

[Lifter82]

Works for me. Really good thought you had there. Finaly I can play for more than an hour straight without restarting my comp. Thanks a lot.

[JironGhrad]

There's a software mode that's installed with the game... but I suspect that trying to disable it on non-NVidia cards will tank the game... hence asking... did you try updating PhysX?



Go to Nvidia's site and install the latest Physx system software.

for my 8600m under win7 i had a seperate control widget called nvidia physx[32bit] and had to go in there to disable it.

[JironGhrad]

if you'd be willing Pract1t0ner, could you update the PhysX and re-enable and see what happens?

So I took some advice from here & turned off auto saving & set my affinity to one core instead of two. The game is a wee bit more sluggish, just a tiny, but my load times are no more than 10 seconds at most now. It's an incredible difference. Before I had some 8-10 minute load times. Crazy! Sadly, any time I play fullscreen I start to get graphical tears & glictches which are solved only by a restart, however if I play in windowed mode it's fine. So I have it on windowed mode, the size of my screen. Basiclly fullscreen but not.

[JironGhrad]

Mythos what processor do you have? also did you try turning on V-Sync?

[Mythos Engineer]

I have an AMD Athlon 64 C2 duel core 6000+, my gfx card is an 8800GT Nvidia & I did try with V-Sync, but that lowered my FPS quite a lot (& there were still graphical bleeds)

C2=X2 (Sorry for double post, didn't notice Edit button)

[JironGhrad]

hmmm... good to know about the X2... what drivers are you using on your 8800?

[Mythos Engineer]

I am using 191.07 which is their latest (according to the site). I did try going back one, then two, but it made no difference so I returned to their current.

[JironGhrad]

you might try the Beta 195.xx's... there have been some success with those

[Mythos Engineer]

Hmm where could I find that one? I don't know of anywhere to get drivers except the actual website

[JironGhrad]

they're on the NVidia site I believe...

http://www.nvidia.co...aspx?lang=en-us try that link, and if it doesn't work properly use the NVidia search and type "beta drivers"

Change the bottom right combobox to beta.

Thanks a lot, I'll give these a go & report back after supper

[JironGhrad]

good luck

[andysdead]

trying this now. hopefully at least half of my problems are solved!

[JironGhrad]

I'd like someone with the original problem to try updating physX if they could to allow us to better troubleshoot the problem (since all turning it off on an NVidia card does is move the load to the CPU)
