It sounds like you have been quite thorough. A Windows reinstall is what I would probably attempt next. I try to keep a fresh copy of Windows installed on an old drive I have for instances such as this. That way, I can rule out any software or other issues that can happen as you use your PC over time. Reload Windows cleanly, install all updates it finds, including DirectX, motherboard drivers and graphics driver. Nothing else. If it runs...you can safely assume that something in your main Windows system is causing the issue. Then, you can decide if it is worth troubleshooting it from there. Good luck.

Mine crashed several times in the same places where you all have mentioned (character creation) and to be honest, I almost gave up. However, I was able to fool around with the settings a bit (directX 11 on) and it appears to work fine now.

Still, one would think that a "demo" would be rather polished and help to advertise the quality of the game. For BioWare, I assume this may have been a PR nightmare.

Usually Demos are based on earlier builds of the game.  I think many people were able to play and get the gist of the combat and interaction, which is the point of the demo.  I wouldn't think it is a PR disaster by any stretch.

Well, let's hope they don't limit the textures for DX9 systems, that would be silly indeed. I think that the Highest settings option simply enabled "DX11 only" optimizations....and based on what I have seen so far, I don't think it is buying you much.

The texture quality and AA and AF are the biggest graphical advantages that PCs have over consoles.

My crash happened when loading the chantry part of the demo. I have the latest drivers for my Sapphire ATI 4870 (512mb DDR3)

Have a quad core and windows XP SP3 with 3GB 800mhz DDR 2 RAM. Here is what it looks like when it hangs.

The game is still active and I am able to go to the menus and all but it seems the characters stay stuck in the game world along with the loading screen. The character portraits are also all fuzzled but I am able to select them like if I was in the game world.

Possible causes could be that I ran too fast to the chantry while Isabela was talking after the courtyard fight and the game did not load the section correctly and got stuck in a loop.

Just to make things even more confussing, playing in windowed mode doesn't help either. Mine crashed in both fullscreen and windowed mode after pressing the Play button. Only playing with direct x9 and average details settings i was able to play through the demo.

As long i read so far, i see that the people that reported crash issue have different hardware, AMD or Intel, ATI or Nvidia seems not to be the core problem, still the windows 7 64bit seems to be a constant. Might it be something related to 64 bit systems?

Nope...no crashes for me in Win 7 x64.

I think the issues are mostly related to people using graphics settings other than what Bioware suggested.  They said clearly to turn off Vsync and Anti Aliasing as well as run at DX9 at medium settings.  Any other settings and your mileage varies.

I played male mage and male warrior on DX9 maxed and it was fine. When I tried female rogue got 2 crashes after character customization screen. Windows 7 64 bit, GF GTX 260M.



No surprise at all. I have so many problems with this damn Win**** 7...

[SvenP78]

I just finished the Demo. Playing on iMac (2,8GHz i7/16GB Ram) with Parallels.



First VM was a Win7 64Bit / 8GB Ram / 8 Cores. The Demo crashed with every suggested fix. Textures where flickering



Tried a XP Pro 32Bit / 3 GB Ram / 2 Cores VM next. This time everything went nice (no crashes). Only the dialog sound volume was very low.



Very Nice. I'm looking forward to the final game. The only thing I don't like is the Interface. It looks so... well... it looks a bit poor.

[darkangelire]

same issue right after character creation

[Dr. Catt]

Disabling AA smoothed things out for me and I didn't get any further crashes.

[MathieuPLC]

Win 7 x64, Radeon HD 5870, Core I7-930.



Game crashes during initial game play in DX11 and after character customization in DX 9. Settings at 1920X1080, High settings, 4X AA...



Male rogue...

Firstly, this is a demo, not the finished release.../../../../images/forum/emoticons/wondering.png

Secondly, update your DirectX to the most recent one and also update your graphicscard-driver.../../../../images/forum/emoticons/andy.png

Thirdly,
Configure the demo first, in the start-pop-up, choose "configure",
Disable v-sync, run on medium graphics setting, choose any
AA(Anti-aliasing) you want because it hasn´t been a problem for me in
any of my 8 playthroughs.

-This demo is designed to run on medium settings, nothing else. If you want the real deal, wait until the game is released with ALL the "bells and whistles"(AKA higher settings). And for the love of GOD, play only with DX9, not DX11 that´s not implemented in this demo.

hope it helps someone........./../../../images/forum/emoticons/smile.png

all of the above, seconded.
with these settings, the game demo worked wonderfully.
looking forward to the game!!!

thanks bioware, again!!!

[angsgr8]

 Demo does not allow the game to save, wth?? Crashed twice and had to start from the beginning...

[Arlind Webb]

I've played the demo about 7 times now... Going to go nuts when this game comes out. Great work Bioware and I do hope the small bugs are fixed on the release version. (I'm sure they will be!)

[kong009]

I just played through the demo with absolutely everything cranked up as high as it would go without a single hang (except for the missing dll, but that was an easy fix). Ran in dx9 mode, since my radeon hd 5750 won't do dx11...



Win7 x64, AMD Phenom II x6 1035t (2.6ghz @ 6 cores), 8gb 1333mhz ram, Radeon HD 5750 1gb



Ran extremely smooth the whole way through!



The only thing I've done differently than what I've read in this thread is I ran the DXSETUP (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dragon Age 2 Demo\\redist\\DirectX) before I played the game to fix my missing .dll problem. Then like I said, cranked up the graphics (really just to see it) and it worked fine.



Good luck guys!

Running Windows 7 64 bit, Says it had an unexpected win32 error right after the video for the EA games logo.

[Mike_Hawthorne]

I'm having the same thing.
The game crashes after I hit the start game button.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, i7 3 ghx, ATI 6870 video, 8 gigs ram.
I have tried in both DX11 and DX9 with both high and lowered settings.
I got past this point once, and it crashed after talking to the Witch of the Wild.

Tried many times with every suggestion on this discussion and game still crashes at character creation when clickin play.

Hi again!

For what it's worth I got it to work and played through the whole demo.

Here are my settings.

1680 by 1050

Graphics Detail Medium

Anti-Aliasing off

DirectX 9

Play in full screen mode

Vertical Sync Off

The is Windows 7 64 bit.

I ran it in XP compatibly mode

But this is the thing that seemed to make the difference.
I selected Run As Administrator when I started the game, and it ran all the way through for the first time.

I hope this works for some others as well.

Mike

DXSETUP  made it work for me

[GameBoyish]

Lowest settings and it crashed while I played as a Mage... Before that I completed a playthrough with a Rogue...
