When using vsync on you need to also enable triple buffering in your video card settings to on,that way you wont get half the fps this a must.

Bump


The game has an option for Triple Buffering in the ini . I haven't tested to see if it works or not, but you can turn it on by navigating to users/yourname/documents/bioware/dragon age/settings

Open the DragonAge.ini and change UseTripleBuffering=0 to UseTripleBuffering=1

I am running on a Asus G2A1-S with Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.50GHz, 4G RAM, Nvidia 8700M. Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit.



The longest I could play before the game becomes stuttering is about 10 minutes. I have tried the core affinity thing, but it did not help by that much.

When I changed setting to windows mode and used triple buffering, the laptop runs for about 5 minutes before it automatically shutdown. I wonder if the lagginess is due to overheating?

This why I never mention anything about the ini file.

Bump!

Understandable.  I tried setting the aniso in the ini and it didn't do anything for me :/  oh well.

Yes it is very possible it is overheating.  You can check GPU temperatures with this little utility:

and CPU temperatures with this one:

Probably should add the Steam Key problem fix to this. Not really a problem, but users need to know the key they need to register when using steam is found in the configuration utility under the game tab.

First, bumping topics is spam. Don't do it.



I've stickied your thread for a bit to see if others find it useful. If people try out any of these unofficial fixes and find them worthwhile, post your experience here.



We'll see how it goes.

Thanks... We'd been bumping while waiting for Chris and Fernando to get back to work to sticky it (discussed it with them last week and were delayed in getting it out before they'd left for the weekend)

Having read the first page of this thread, I think I may be that person who is too stupid to own a computer...so, sorry to trouble you, but...

I have the patch no play problem, but can't download from the Microsoft Updates page. Are Sunday nights particularly busy? I don't have a problem with any other website or download (eg I've just updated my antivirus). Shall I just try again later?

Thanks.

Which version of Windows do you have macclad? did you try getting to www.microsoft.com? if you can get there make sure that the destination (top right corner) reads the correct location (ie. mine says United States)  If that's incorrectly listed use the "change" button next to it to fix, then you should see a header for "frequent destinations". Microsoft update is located in that list as well, and you might try that link

Thanks for your patience, JG. I can get to all the Microsoft web pages, and my destination is the UK, but as soon as I try the Update or Download page, I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I appreciate this is probably not your or EA or Dragon Age's problem. I'm on XP, with automatic updates on and working as far as I know.

Cheers.

Er, XP 32-bit and IE7. My security settings are all medium or low and I'm not blocking anything (I don't think).

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when I click the IE8 download button. I'll send Microsoft Support a message - as I say this really isn't your problem, but thanks for the time. Over and out.

I am having issues with my game mostly related to the party.
Trying the fix for strange issues fixed some of them but not all.

A problem still persists where my party camp is bugged and my "off duty" party members don't show at the camp.

So you have the toolset installed Frightened... do you have any other mods added to the game?

My own standalone test module that it's separate from the original dragon age campaign.

And the DLC modules.

try making a back-up of your module's data and then retry the fix (make sure to delete all the overrides)

I already did I don't care for the module it was just a stupid test.

I completed all three steps on the fix. The empty export directories, deleting the single player folder and deleting the content's of the override folder.

That folder is already empty.

EDIT: I should just reinstall the game.

If you decide to do that, please let me know how it goes... would you be willing to try a new character and see if that might resolve the issue? (I've got a theory that certain toolset-created errors can be "saved" and wreck a saved game)
