It's not an issue of people trying to force the game to run on systems they knew weren't good enough. (at least not to me) it's the words "or equivelant". If you have a CPU that is a good amount faster than required but not dual core it could be seen as equivalent (to a dual core not a quad). Dual core and single core are architecture issues not speed.
People ask themselves when they look at a game "is my computer fast enough". Well some software doesn't take advantage if dual cores so it's better to have a faster CPU. Some software takes advantage of 64 bit so it's better to have that. I know I saw this speed or equivelant, my CPU is a good amount faster so I said yes I'm fast enough (did not see multicore only anywhere) my graphics card is also faster than needed. Also played the demo very smooth.
So I'm supposed to guess, I can play but it won't save because that one part needs an extra core. I don't have 60 bucks to throw away so if I knew or thought it wouldn't run I wouldn't have got it. If I knew it was broken for me and people with multicores I wouldn't have got it.
Also it's not just $60, I'm sure I'm not the only person tired of paying for something only to have a company not give it to me and have no real recourse. Even a company that up until now I liked a lot. They have my money, I can't get it back but I can make sure next time they get a lot less peoples money if it comes to that (and it's quickly conning to that)
Since this needs to be read and is the shared feeling of at least handful of people, I decided to paragraph it up a little. Being a "poor****" person, with less then average computer, I have learned through the years that games can and in most cases will run even below minimum reqs. It's just that loading times and performance(FPS) might not what the average person feel is a "enjoyable" experience, which is what I feel the developers are aiming for with their Minimum and recommended specs. Where the game is "reasonable" to play.
This is for me personally, the first time dual core requirements has actually blocked me from playing the game completely. People say you shouldn't be angry over video games, but in all honest, we aren't angry over that if anything. We spend real life cash on it. We preorder for a reason when we do, usually to get our hands on the game as soon as possible. Of course you are gonna feel angst and disappointment when you can't play, even if it's partly self-inflicted.
Anyway, no need to be longwinded on this. Hopefully this is fixed "soon" enough. But considering the programmable nightmare it gonna be to redesign something into using just one core when it orginally was intended to be dual. Then on top of that testing it and making sure it actually works, it might be a while, as in a week or longer.

i can live without the save for now but it will not let me past after the red dragon saves me load. Keeps loading and loading and loading. is there a fix for this?
It's basically the same bug... It keeps on loading and loading because the game is still trying to save.Enfrcer666 wrote...

Thanks! I just tried it but that didn't work for me either. So I'm still stuck with no game despite my dual processors.

Can we at least know how much work has been done? Or maybe an ETA?
Here's to a patch by midnight.

I've heard if you're on multicore w/ steam that telling steam to utilize more than one core works--apparently there's something going on where DA2 inherits steam's settings or something like that--maybe it's because of the overlay thing steam does or something, but I don't really know. If you could give this a spin though, and let us know the results, it'd probably help at least someone.
