Having completed DA:O, I started DA:A. However, this proved to be quite a problem:

Whole buildings and walls are invisible. All friendly NPCs have invisible heads (even in the portraits and inventory screens, helmets are still visible, though).

I updated to the most recent Nvidia GFX drivers, tried to turn the in-game textures to their lowest setting, running the game as an Administrator, tried setting compatibility mode to Win XP SP3, all with no effect.

I'm using Dragon Age via Steam with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

My computer specs:
AMD 1090T 3.2 GHz 6-core
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX
8 GB RAM
64 GB SSD + 2 TB standard HDD.

I'd be grateful for any advice as to how to solve this issue.

EDIT: I'm not using any mods whatsoever with Dragon Age, just the standard DLCs + Awakening from DA Ultimate Edition.

You are most likely using one of the Geforce drivers that do not work well for nVIDIA cards older than the GTX200 generation, and need to swap drivers until you find one that works correctly for you, probably from about the time that the first of the GTX200s came out, a couple of years ago (what OS?  Win XP64 is problematic, and Win7 is "too new" for nVIDIA's software engineers, versus the old graphics cards). .

Thanks for the reply. I recently ordered a GTX580, It's no rush, I can wait until I get the upgraded GFX card installed and see if things work better.

[Kzak]

Hmm! Installed the GTX580 GFX card... and exactly the same problem occurs. Got the most recent drivers and all. 

[Kzak]

Installed successfully the GTX580 graphics card, still got the most recent drivers... and exactly the same problem as before, lots of invisible textures and buildings, rendering DA: Awakening effectively unplayable. Any tips?

is vsync turned off? if so try turning it on

[Kzak]

VSync was off. Turned it on, no effect.

Where did you get awakening? Retail or Download? Sometimes downloaded versions can be faulty and it can be fixed from downloading a new file from another place such as the EA download manager

My other train of thought is to reinstall the patch again. I recall something about needing to do it again after Awakening is installed.

I got Awakening as part of Dragon Age. Ultimate Edition, via retail. I'll try to reinstall and see if that changes something. I'm also using the Steam edition of Dragon Age - perhaps the two don't speak too well together when installed in the same location.

It's strange that everything else has worked perfectly so far.

[Moondoggie]

Do you have DA origins and Daultimate installed on the same machine? This might be a massive longshot but you could try uninstalling DAorigins if you have not. You won't lose your saves or anything and then try running your DAultimate again and see if there are any changes.

The headless/disappearing thing has happened to others recently, albeit with DLC.  Perhaps something similar has happened here.  In one case, it seems to have been some corrupted files, so Moondoggie's might be right on the proverbial money by suggesting a reinstall:  http://social.biowar...37859/1#5839782 . 

The other problem was resolved by reinstalling the latest Nvidia graphcis drivers, which I think are 266.58 for your new card.  Based on suggestions made by others on this site, I found it helps to do a full uninstall of the driver in the Windows 7 Control panel, boot into Safe Mode and use a program like DriverSweeper (http://www.guru3d.co.../driversweeper/) to make sure it's all gone, and then reboot normally and do a reinstall using the "clean" option.  If you have Nvidia chips on your motherboard, be sure NOT to zap those with DriverSweeper... just the graphics drivers and PhysX stuff.   More at http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/58/index/5837859/1#5839782

Good luck!

Edit:  By the way, enjoy the new card.  A friend just bought one recently... impressive stuff.

Doing a full uninstall and reinstall of DA: Ultimate Edition at the moment. Thanks for the tips.

[Kzak]

Bingo! Textures and everything seem to be correctly showing now, uninstall and then reinstall of Ultimate Edition did the trick. Thanks for the help. guys.

[Moondoggie]

Ah good now you can get on with doing what you want to be doing which is playing your game and not talking to us XD



Enjoy.

I will. Have to get ready for Dragon Age 2, after all!

Good news is that a demo is being released for DA2 in a few weeks, so we'll all get a chance to test drive and click the tires....
