Have you encountered any issues during testing for Patch 1.3 that involve similar reports, but are not related to the pre-rendering issue (I have my rendering settings set to allow the application to control them)? I have frequent crashes unrelated to any specific event in the game that occur within 30 seconds to two minutes of actual gameplay time, but such crashes only occur when using DX11 as a renderer. There is no chugging or anything else indicating that my system is overtaxed. I go from a straight 60 FPS to crash to desktop with no warning and no specific trigger. I've already reinstalled and repatched in order to fix the issue.

When using DX9 as a renderer, none of these issues occur and the game runs smoothly.

The other DX11 game I have to test by, Bad Company 2, does not have similar issues. However, the game is different enough that I wanted to ask if obtaining the demo of a DX11 game closer in nature to DA2 would provide a better benchmark. Any help that anyone could provide would be welcome at this point--I need to figure out whether my DA2 troubles are software issues or if there is some specific hardware issue with my card and I need to return it.

EDIT: Drivers are the current release version. I have yet to test using the newer beta drivers released by Nvidia last week. Since no specifics in the patch notes involve DA2, I figured it probably wasn't going to work.

I have the same Nvidia card chipset and driver that you are running and DA2 plays fine with max settings for me.  I would think that means something else in your system is causing your issues.  Have you fully tested your ram?  I was working on a family member's PC just recently that seemed to be running fine (I built it) and all drivers/software was up to date.  The only problem he had was that it would crash then BSOD with Adobe Photoshop CS5... no other software.  We were scratching our heads.   Finally ran Memtest86+ on each RAM stick for a couple hours each and found one that was bad.  I guess the system wasn't hitting that particular range in his normal use unless he ran Photoshop, which would then crash the system.  Replaced the ram and problem was solved.

I push my RAM to a greater percentage of use with other games that I have no issue with. If there is perhaps some issue other than flat RAM use that is unique to Dragon Age II, that would be the only possible RAM problem at this point. If you have any reason to believe that, I'd welcome any test you can think of. I'm beginning to think it's a software issue that will hopefully be resloved in Patch 1.03, but for the time being I'm willing to test further.

EDIT: Also, the fact that everything works perfectly in DX9 but not DX11 points to either a software or hardware graphical issue. Computers being the strange, beautiful, and capricious creatures that they are though, it is certainly possible that some other issue is at fault.

Well, if you are at your wit's end, it wouldn't hurt to run Memtest86+ on it overnight to rule out any ram problems.  It's a free download.  My brother and I thought the same thing you do "Why would my system not crash with other programs if RAM was bad?"  He is a gamer and streams video, opens multiple windows, etc.

The only reason I am suggesting it is something other than your graphics card is that if I have the same card and driver installed as you do with no problems, it would point to something else.

Just curious but have you uninstalled your game completely, run a registry cleaner, then reinstalled it with patch 1.02?  I would assume yes, but figured I would ask.

Good luck.

Argh. Didn't run the registry clean, that might be my problem. It just slipped my mind. I'll do that and the memtest and get back to you.

My specs: Mobo p8z67, Intel 2500k, 8gb ddr3 1600mhz, Nvidia GTX 570(driver 275.33). I keep getting crashes on directX 11.... i have no problems with directx 9...

Bad driver, Keep using the one that works, 270.something.

If it doesn't work that way, see the guide to reporting, and fill out a completed problem report.

Well apart from underclocking my video card and having vsync turned off I've been playing all day with DX 11 all settings maxed?????????????????????????????

Since I turned my clock down I only had one crash yesterday but today I got no crashes at all although I turned off Vsync and reinstalled my video card drivers.

My drivers didn't install properly using the Nvidia installer so I went to Device Manager and right clicked on my card and asked Windows to update my drivers. Now it didn't download a full driver package because all i was missing was the control panel and it only took a couple of seconds but after that I had no crashes and played for hours. I wonder if Nvidia installer is not correctly installing drivers on some systems because I know during install my mo nitor went off and didn't come back on and I had to do a hard reset to get my picture back. I had to guess if the drivers had been installed or not (275.33) This has happened twice to me over the past months when installation using the Nvidia installer hasn't gone smoothly but after Windows did the update I seem to have better game stability. So on record I've played about 7 hours today without a crash on high and very high settings with all settings maxed. No freezes so far. Something's changed but it looks like the driver did not install properly and after it did the erors went away touch wood.

 I get an access denied error whenever I try to get the ATI drivers you link to. This happens in Chrome, IE, and Firefox. Can you work with AMD on THAT?

I did try with this link instead. The install apparently didn't work. Before the install, I was getting seizure-inducing graphical crapouts and crashes at the same cutscene. Now, it's a coin flip as to which disappers: everyone's hair or Carver's face, and it still crashes at the same cutscene.

Well the thing is i can run DA2 at the following ingame settings:

1920x1200 16:10
4xAA
DX11
Graphic detail Very High. (Included the higher detail pack).
This by using the latest 12.5 drivers.

Sys specs:
Xeon 5160 x 2
16GB DDR2 FB Dimm ECC
Radeon 5870 Driver version 12.5.
Win7 x64

However when i play Legacy or MotA it crashes constantly and only setting it back to DX9 makes it stop crashing and i can play it all the way without problems.

My advice would be to install the latest drivers from the ATI/AMD website, or if you have the latest CCC installed let it check for updates. 12.5 seems to be the latest version.

[sanityscraps]

But I read some people were having trouble with the latest versions of DX11. I rolled back to DX9, but the graphics are still really unstable. Some textures won't load at all, including any hurlock's body and Wesley's gloves. That's assuming it doesn't crash mid-loading. ATI 11.4 makes it kind of better. Graphical crapouts can be fixed by going in and out of the pause menu, but the skybox is still all wonky. =/

Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
3gb RAM
latest current offficial Nvidia driver (301.42)

Played unpatched game without any problems, after installing Legacy - could not even launch game in DX11 mode first - had dead driver crashes, green screen and glithes on intro movie. Set game to DX9 - smooth run, but medium textures...are medium.. Switched back to DX11 in game, had no crashes for testing period (something like 30 mins, including few dialogue scenes), but FPS dropped. It's playable, but really annoying.

My card supports DX10, and I played before Legacy on "high" setting, and I had no problems with any other game (like DAO-DAA, ME2, ME3). Is there any know solution? I know my hardware is not top, but looks like there is a problem, because even people with next-to-top pcs had smae issues.
