Hi there, now since ive been looking all over the place for the other forum that had this fix but couldnt find it, i finally found the program (a similar program) that fixed the random crashing in DA O on 64bit OS machines

First let me explain as to why DA O was crashing

ill put it as simple as possible, DA O is a 32bit program, so its access to the RAM is only limited too 2gb
but since the people running this game on a 64bit OS system with more then 4gb ram it made the game quickly use up its limited 2gb RAM alowence resaulting it in crashing randomly, sometime a little, sometime alot

Now apparently Fallout 3 had this same problem and a few people had fixed it by changing how much RAM the program had access too, lucky for us this fix also works for DA:O

Now its not the exact same program i used from a post in a previous forum that seems to of gone missing! but it will do the same thing, since its fallout all you have to do is when it says Fallout3.exe, just use daorigins.exe and follow the same steps but with the DAO exe file,

For windows 7 64bit its in this directory
Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Dragon Age > bin_ship

For windows vista 64bit its the equelivint of what 7 is lol sorry im not sure exactly

ive tried it on mine and it seems to work fine, but remember BACK UP YOUR .EXE file


this should work untill bioware decide to address this bug

EDIT: also i did a bit more searching and found a post from AllThatJazz confirming that he/she has found another ram mod parch that changes the .exe allocated ram from 2gb to 4gb, once again this is only useful for 64bit OS
this one is much simpler to use then the Fallout 3 Ram boost mod

http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php

use this at your own risk as i nor the creater of the program do not hold responsability for anything that can go wrong, neither does AllThatJazz, my best advice is to back up your DA .exe file, so if it does stuff up all you have to do is copy in the backup file and it will restore to before you applied the patch

Is this a safe program? I've never heard of a RAM boost mod.

As I note there, it's certainly a "use at your own risk, results may vary" prospect.

EDIT:  Also curious if there's an explaination for why this isn't a universal problem for all 64-bit machines.  I've been running DAO on Windows 7 64-Bit since I bought it with July, first on a machine w/ 6GB and then on one with 8GB.  Never encountered a random crash.

[Haron50]

I tried the ram booster, didn't work for me.

Aspire 7540G Athlon II X2 - 4GB mem - ATI HD 4570(Upto 2304mb Hypermem)

[Funkjoker]

it works far better than the default exe. it's a shame that bioware doesn't want to update this game - i won't buy future games from them seeing how they treat DAO and our patch requests.

what windows do you have

this only works for the windows 7 64bit or windows vista 64bit

if you got either of those windows as a 32bit OS
then this mod will not work for you

Lucky you, my damn game crashes all the time, generally while Im trying to leave an area, and almost every hour or so while in the deep roads.

i am not sure, ive actually just gotten my alien ware laptop with 8gb ram and windows 7 64bit in it and DA hasnt crashed on it like it did my desktop, but this fix is just for those who is having the random crashing problem, it even could be somthing simple like it doesnt go good in conjunction with another program on the 64bit OS, but of corse bioware wont bother to fix officialy, im assuming because now they got DA2 and all its dlc content in the works

[woloif]

doesnt matter, i put my specs down millions of times, if they want them they can ask me. look it is a great game, but i cannot keep enjoying it if it crashes in combat, every few combat sections. Bioware or somebody needs to fix it, PLEASE!!!!!
