I'm really beginning to wonder if the "disconnect is a symptom, not the cause" is exactly reversed.  I played for like twelve hours on Saturday (yes, I have no life  ) with maybe one hiccup the entire time.  Played last night after upgrading to the beta Catalyst drivers and they were near constant.  Since that was very late (having only finished work at ~1am) and during the time that Comcast likes to futz with their network, it does lead one to wonder.  The freezes happened during cutscenes, conversations, combat, and simply moving from point A to point B.

I'm having the same problem as so many others. The game freezes during combat, and most frustratingly during cut scenes. I can control-alt-delete to get out, then return to the game and it fixes it temporarily. However, I miss visual parts of the cut scenes, and the dialog continues while I'm out of the game. Also, I've noticed the characters turning all black from time to time.

My rig:

Vista 64 Ultimate
Intel Core Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4Ghz
GeForce 8800GTX
Geil 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 RAM
Latest Nvidia driver

I'm not using the high texture pack, and am running under DX9.

It seems like the vast majority of us are using a 64 bit OS, I wonder if that could be part of the issue?

It happens to me every 2 mins I get a drop down to 1fps. I worked out that if I alt tab and alt tab back in I can temporarily fix this..this is the only way I can play the game I paid for, but
sometimes it happens 3 times in a row less than 10 seconds apart. Sometimes it takes 20mins to happen but it always happens and it's beyond annoying now, I tried checking the files but steam
doesn't pick up any errors, it's rather frustrating.

But from reading this thread it seems everyone who has reported the freezing is using Win7 64Bit. So IMO there seems definately be somekind of Windows 7/graphics driver related issue causing the freezing.

I'm having this problem on Windows 7 32 Bit under DX9 and DX11.

[cypherbeta]

i turned off my antivirus while play and so far i havent had any freeze issues during talking or the game.

[rainmaker4]

yea, i'm running with the nvdia 9600M GT card on my laptop and had to reinstall the old drivers (260.99) to get the to stop freezing up. Don't use the new beta drivers, i don't think nvidia and bioware sufficiently tested them enough (or at all) for DA2. Its sad but true.

[Psychotic Deformity]

can't test these myself right know so i'm asking: is 267.59 any better for nvidia owners?

[Mooglator]

258.96 seems to have fixed the problem for me. I'll edit this message if the problem starts up again

[Arkalezth]

Changing to DirectX 9 worked for me. I changed it several days ago and no more freezes. Before changing it, that day I played like half an hour with DX11 without problems, but it had happened to me before, so I guess DX11 was the cause.

[LtKillgore]

Same problem here

ASUS M2nSLI32 mobo
amd 9950 quad
4 gig ram
Geforce GTX260

any word from bioware on a fix in progress?

[darkwonders]

I've seen this happen once. It occurred when I first met Marril. It froze when she was doing something with magic, and then skipped all the way to the end dialog part.

I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 5870 with the latest driver and 8 GB of RAM

[AmyBA]

As others have stated, me and my husband are both having these freezing issues.

And, as others, they seem to be happening mostly during dialogue and cut-scenes, usually skipping parts of the conversation and animation entirely with a black screen, and then when it shows back up it kind of speeds up the video and overlaps when the speech and next part comes in. Its been entirely random as to when it happens, but I been having to reload a lot on the cut-scenes because I am missing out on a lot of them due to this occurring.

We have tried the game in both DX9 and DX11 settings and it happens either way.

My system specs:

ATI Radeon 5770x2 2GB DDR5 VRAM.
Intel Core2Quad 9550 @ 3.0GHZ
8gig DDR2 Ram
Windows Vista Home 64bit

My husbands are near identical except he only has 4 gigs of ram and 1 graphics card.

*edited for god awful typos making it near unreadable....

Just an update from me. While I did encounter some freezes/stutterings/slowdowns/accelerations in the past, its gotten significantly worse since I initiated the final part of Act 2. Its getting intollerable.

So it looks like to be something on Bioware's end of the coding. Cause with those specs you should have zero problems with running the game

I can now run mine on the highest settings, hi res pack and DX11. I set it to run as admin, and the compatibility to windows XP (latest service pack) and windowed mode (it makes little difference with my resolution 1920x1080. I was stuttering a lot before, freezes and what not, but now it runs smooth with no problems.

[Mongoose22]

You sure about that? Because windows xp doesn't support DX10 or 11, don't know why compatibility mode would be different and it would also explain why you have no issues: you probably are running the game with DX9

[Hanover Fist 1970]

Core2 quad 2.8ghz
6GB of DDR800 mhz
250 GTS nvidia
Win 7 64 bit
On board realtek sound.

Started with Direct x11 renderer with 1920x1200 AA at 2x and tex sampling maxed. NO texture download either. Lots of intermittent pauses. As the sound would play the screen would start to animate correctly then bam back to waiting for another 30 seconds or so.

Tried disabling and enable V-sync, no help same issue.
Downloaded nvidia latest beta drivers ,no help same issue.

Changed to Direct x 9 renderer and maxed everything, V-sync is off, smooth as silk no pauses after two days of play.

Thats what worked for me hope this helps.

That would be worth trying for other people, as well. I myself get these slowdowns too infrequently to test any remedies, but problems with the anti-virus software can cause the slowdown and disconnect symptoms.

I'm running AVG myself, and it only slows down about once every 2 hours. What anti-virus software are other people with crashes running?

[Mark Vebber]

Hello everyone. I have that issue too. Updating nvidia drivers to 267.26 make this freeze rare but not fix it. Maybe this beta driver works different ways with different video cards? I have Windows 7 64 bit.

8800 GT 512mb
Intel Core 2duo E6750
4 gb RAM

It seems there is no regularity with this issue. First time when I had it was hero choose menu... Sometimes it happens when I read text in game sometimes in dialog.

[jonjmiks]

the inf modding fixed the annoying freezing problem for me. thanks for sharing.

it started up again today freezing and i had my antivirus off so it must be the game as my computers definatley capable of running it.

AMDx4 965 BE 3.4Ghz
4Gb ram 1333Mhz DDR3
XFX 5870 1Gb
ASUS crosshair 3 formula Motherboard
2x 500Gb western digital caviar black
W7 home premium 64bit
ESET NOD32 Antivirus
Zonealarm firewall

im running with the latest catalyst 11.4
installed the Beta 1.01
high res pack installed
1920x1080p
it ran alright when i turned off the extra options (high res blur, diffusion, space occlusion) but today tried it with them on and it happened

[Morlan78]

I too am experiencing these freezes quite often and i have to restart my pc. DX9, windowed mode, with no AA is the most stable config. Still it freezes on the night missions in Hightown.
Im running the game on :
Dell precision M6500
Intel® Core™ i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz
8GB RAM
ATI FirePro M7740
Windows 7 pro 64 bit.

Must say Im dissapointed that these critical bugs went through QA, especially since they also were in the demo.

Oh wow, glad you quoted that, I had no idea how unreadable it was with all the typos! XD

But yes, I can't really seem to pinpoint what might be causing it. We don't have the most insane gaming computers, but they run everything else very well with no issues.

We are going to try and put DA2 on the lap top and give it a whirl, see how is performs there.

[crap13]

I got rid of all freezing issues on my mobile card, Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT by rolling back to the 260.99 archived driver. I am running directx11 on high settings, with high texture pack checked and vsync at some 1300X somethingrather res with no freezing anymore. And damn this game has alot of quests!!
