Read this before posting a problem message

Since the Demo and DA2 share the DAO engine, when you have trouble with either one, the archives of the Social Forums can answer many of the possible problems, as can the older Tech forum's pinned thread on top of the Index Page.  Use a real search engine, not the bad joke offered inside the forums, just add a site: redirector to it.  Before anyone posts a question, though, recheck your system against the requirements one more time:

      Minimum:

      OS: Windows XP 32-bit with SP3
      OS: Windows Vista 32-bit with SP2
      OS: Windows 7
      CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo (or equivalent) running at 1.8 GHz or greater
      CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 (or equivalent) running at 1.8 GHz or greater
      RAM: 1 GB (1.5 GB Vista and Windows 7)
      Video: Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB (should be 2600 XT or X1800 GTO)
      Video: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS 256 MB cards (unless this should be 7800 GS)
      Disc Drive: DVD ROM drive required
      Hard Drive: 7 GB
      Sound: Direct X 9.0c Compatible Sound Card Windows Experience Index: 4.5

Then, if you are still at a loss, here's the hardware part to include . .

Basic Hardware Specification Chart (Empty so far)

Processor Manufacturer: AMD / Intel
Processor Name / Type: Athlon X2 / Pentium D / C2D / dual core / quad, etc.
Processor Speed:  ?.? Ghz
Operating System / Service Pack: WindowsXP with SP #?, Win7, Vista ? 
System RAM: ? ? GBs (MBs, if less than 1024 ? )
Video (GPU) Manufacturer: ATI / Nvidia (only those two are supported, PERIOD, so please answer which of them you have)
Video Card Model: (examples) Radeon HD 5670 / Geforce GT 240
Video Card Driver Version: Catalyst ?.? / Nforce ??.??
 . . (please use the numbers, and dates, *not* the word "latest")
Video Card onboard RAM: ? ? ? MBs
Sound Card Manufacturer:
Sound Card Model:

(And this is only for the raw hardware & driver variations.  Potential software conflicts are far more likely to be game play problems, and developers cannot test for all possible program loads.)

P. S.  Please use every day business style paragraph breaks, punctuation, and spelling.

"      Problem Details

a.      When it comes to problem details, think about the five basic questions. Who? What? When? Where?
Why? Okay, so “Who?” doesn’t really apply here, but the others do.

b.     What? What is the nature problem that you’re seeing?

c.      When? When does the problem occur? Every time you engage in a particular action or only
after so many hours of play?

d.     Where? Where does the problem occur? Is the problem localized to a particular planet or does
it occur everywhere?

e.     Why? As much as possible, can you isolate the problem to a specific set of steps?

I was imagining a last minute surge in new people trying the Demo this weekend that it seems isn't going to happen, after all.

I played the demo. I am a registered DAO/A gamer. I completed the DA/2 demo many, many, many times. no indication what so ever of anything unlocked. At this point I could care less and just feel it was a waste of time to foolishly believe I was the problem. Mon Deuix!

nurse_trudy, there are currently 6 threads on the issue you mention, try looking down 3 posts and see the multi page posts on the same issue, with fixes that people have used maybe ?

The General topics DA2 forum was pretty busy, when the site wasn't bogged down with difficulties, but not much of anything else seemed to be going on in other game forums here . .

DA2, the game itself, is here. I expect this forum to fade away (soon) now.

(March 12: Hasn't it debuted everywhere by now?)

Ah, yes, but the word "fade" doesn't MEAN "instant", not at all.

DA2 seems to have really magnetized most of the forum readership.  The various Tech forums for everything else (other than DAO) all seem very dead.

This forum having practically slowed to a standstill, I personally am about to stop dropping in here, there just isn't anything to answer any more.

And just as I have a question that you might be able to answer =P lol

I have completed the Dragon Age 2 demo numerous times however I have never been able to connect to the Bioware server after install in order to get the achievement.  Do you have any ideas or solutions?

In case you ask about my firewalls...  they are turned off =P
