Then all I can give as advice is to update your graphics drivers.
I'm currently running a RadeonHD 4850 and a Phenom X4 at 2.1GHz at maximum details and using the Catalyst 11.2 Drivers for the card.
No glitches whatsoever so far, hope it stays that way.


I'm actually wondering if that's what I need to do, but I'm reluctant to do so, since last time I did it both Mass Effect games had issues with it and I rolled back, while they both run fine with the drivers I'm using now.

Edit: And that didn't work. Tried updating to latest Nvidia drivers: 266.58. Still has the same issue after that.

Just finished it on PC. Man the battles are fun (with a rogue at least). Some comments:



- Can't save in the demo and it crashed midway...

- I must play with video options at LOW... I was at VHigh in Origins. I hope the final version will be least demanding on hardware.

- On PC, where is the up view when you zoom out completely? I hope it's gonna be in the final version! Any comments on that ?

- The female Hawke well... let's say I won't have to change her appearance, she is great!



Great demo! Had fun and since I'm a huge ME fan, I'm really happy now that my character talks!

I have looked everywhere and havent found a answer so figured maybe the offical forums would know.
At the end of the demo it says preorder and get early digital acces to the game. So if you preorder it on steam is there a early access to the game now?
i havent heard of this till today.
thanks if anyone knows.

I'm having problems and I can't get the demo to start (and I read the readme and my computer certainly meets the requirements.)



I'm getting these errors:

The program can't start because d3dx9_43.dll is missing from your computer.



So I uninstalled and tried to re-install and got this msg:



Error opening file for writing (DragonAge2Demo.exe)



Is anyone else having this problem?

I got a .dll error related to DirectX when I first went to play.
Solved by going into Program Files\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Dragon Age 2 Demo\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\redist\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\DirectX
and running the DXSETUP.exe file


This helped with the DirectX Error for me, at least.  For the other, maybe try re-extrating it from the zip file?

My experiences:  Played as Female Mage.  I couldn't defeat the Ogre.  The Warrior in my party did, but ONLY because I gave her Pommel Strike.  Ogre can hit if it's always stunned.  Lost all my potions, too.

Have the Razor, and something else, too.  Hindsight.  What's this?  (P.S.  I found them under registered Game Promotions)

A problem I have a lot playing ANY Dragon Age game on my Xbox is I get signed out of the server occasionally, happened on my first demo play through.

I have pretty much that exact same setup and it runs great for me aswell. Loving the new dynamic battles, atleast with the rogue. Combat was actually fast paced and exciting for a change!

Well, I found the 'support' for this demo here: http://social.biowar...4/index/6152421



I went and downloaded the file they said to, but since I totally do not understand how to do what they're telling me to do, I've given up and and trying to download the demo again. I guess I won't be able to try it out tonight. This is incredibly frustrating for me, since I've been waiting so long for this.

I would like to confirm that the solution worked for me too.

Its not the error of the game,its an error of direct x
To solve this just go to this link and download the d3dx9_43.dll file and paste it as instructed.

http://www.dll-files....shtml?d3dx9_43


Dont download the demo again mate just do what I said.

Does the game only run in medium graphics detail? That's all I seem to find on the Configure page under video.

It shows you that you are logged in at the new game screen, over on the left hand side, on xbox at least...

With regards to getting item, make sure you leave the last little bit of the demo to play all the  way thru and let it take you back to the new game screen, should get your razor then

I beat the demo but didn't get the item registered to my account at the end. It's the weirdest thing!



I noticed that even though I signed in at the start when I finished the Demo my account was Signed Off for some reason. What's the deal with that?



Also, the Demo was ridiciouslly easy. All you have to do is make your Tank(warrior) mass Constritution for the first part than mostly constritution+cunning for the second part+Taunt.

I was totally looking forward to this but... I hated it. Seriously disappointed. I tried a rogue and it is frankly ridiculous... the toon moves in idiotic jerky spaz fits rather that the beautiful flowing animations in DA Origins. Even the normal running animations are lame. I really wish I had not pre-ordered :-(

"Fight like a Spartan" - Haha... oh boy.



Yeah, I'm with the "disappointed" crowd concerning the demo. I'll probably pick it up when it goes on sale though.

Never mind, I can't even run it on medium.  It asks for some dx3dx11_43.dll.  And I don't have a dx11 graphics card. (Windows XP, 8800 GT here)

thats a shame that you dont like it, but honestly, when you get it, give it a chance, I've just watched the half hr of playtime on gamespot and it really does look fantastic

I know, but while playing it'll say "can not connect to server" or something like that every so often

@ RaptorKitty, just try a little later in the day/night... I used to get that randomly with DA:O and would be able to log in a few hrs later

Eh, I don't really mind it too often. Annoyed me during the demo though.

I got the Hayder's razor registered  just be online till you complete the demo and when you are back on the title screen you will get the message that your account has been updated.
