My DAO screwed up after I installed 1.01b, even uninstalling DAO and reinstalling it without any patching and the game still has screwed up graphics. The graphics are all garbled, corrupted, you can't make out anything, it's like some Spectrum 48k game on acid, it's really bad. Even restarting the computer doesn't fix the garbled graphics as I began to panick thinking my graphics card had packed it, but it works fine on Fallout3, L4D1 & 2 and several other games, so I know it's ok, I have to reboot in safe mode, restart the PC, then it fixes all the visual errors.

Could the updated Visual C runtime libraries in patch 1.01b be the cause?

Specs:
Windows XP Pro SP3 32Bit
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE (15.25 nforce drivers, not updated to 15.45 yet)
4 x OCZ OCZ2A8001G 1GB DIMM DDR2 PC2-6400U DDR2-800
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB (191.07 drivers)
320GB SATA300, 16MB Cache HDD
Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Fatality Platinum (October 2009 release drivers)

After few hours of play I thought "problem solved", but then **** happen again ->

I am also having the same problem, after the patch 1.01b was released I started having graphical errors. I tried rolling back to a previous Nvidia driver without success. I was playing the game for days without any problems and now I have no idea what to do. Re-installing the game isn't a viable option at this point due to my monthly bandwith restrictions. 

I am running Vista 64x with an 8800gts. The problem I am having is very similar to delilki on the first page.

haha pretty plain to see... all my auto-uploaded screenshots are complete fuzz... This is getting annoying.

Hey Pegeseus,

Did the problem persist with the driver regression to 180.48?

Yup, that's what my screenshots look like too.

Though, again, last night.... five hours no issues. I'm bracing for something real bad to happen.

DraziusA: Same here, I managed to play for days before these problems.

I started the game from daorigins.exe (not the laucher) and it seems to work. Just in case I also put biggest fan I had to my 8600GT.
After that I played 2 hours without problems and that is a all time record for me

I wonder if and when Bioware will do something to fix these problems?

Aren't these Nvidia's problems?

Whoops.. wrong thread.

I'm having a very similar problem as well. The game runs perfectly and then everything gets choppy and, well same as the posted pictures. The occurrences seem isolated to occurring after game transitions, and only occasionally. Usually it is easy to restart and move on but it has crashed my CPU on occasion as well and that worries me.



My specs: Amd Athlon 64 X2 Dual

6000+

3.01 Ghz 2.00 GB ram

SP 3

Nvidia GTS 8600 graphics card



I also have the recorded error log :

Faulting application daorigins.exe, version 1.0.9353.0, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.4053, fault address 0x000150e4.



and system error : Unknown error on CMDre 00000001 000000c0 400324bb 00000004 00000084



My drivers are also a little older then normal...so I am note sure its a driver issue as people with varying drivers seem to have the same problem.



I am open to trying any possible solutions here, Its a great game- just this darned problem - anyway hope there is a solution and best of luck in the search for one



cheers

[pegeseus12]

Update: Played 2 hours straight with no problems with the 180.48 Nvidia drivers. Fingers crossed but bumping back to those older drivers may have helped... Will continue playing and post if I see anything strange.

[Veradune]

Bump. Having these same issues, wondering if the 180.48 rollback works.

[pegeseus12]

Well, I've played for about 5 hours now without seeing a single bit of corruption while using the 180.48 drivers. I've gone through some fairly intensive portions in Redcliffe during that time as well. I've changed nothing else about my system. With both the 191 and 195 drivers I saw corruption after just an hour. Anyone having difficulties, I would definitely recommend rolling back to the 180.48 drivers off Nvidia's website. They seem to have done the trick.



(hopes he hasn't just jinxed everything...)

[Kaituli]

I downgraded my Nvidia drivers down to 178.24 - actually I tried every driver between the latest and 178.24
In my tests sometimes I could play maybe hour or two and sometimes it took just few minutes to mess the graphics, few times even my CPU crashed. No matter what drivers I was using.
I could not find any logical differences between different Nvidia drivers and these problems. They all work just the same (read: dont work).
This makes me think that the problem is not in Nvidia drivers, but in the game.

Here is my latest screenshot with Nvidia 178.24

Bioware should really give some answers what to do, or even some news that they are doing something to solve these problems!
I am pretty much ready to kick this game out of my HD and ask for refund. When I buy something I assume I can enjoy with it and not spend hours tearing my hair off trying to find solution to fix graphical problems.  It's just not my job.

I have no idea. I haven't had an issue since. *knocks on desk*

[Paragon-King]

Yup, I had similar issues with textures. Mostly on armours, textures get a little... screwy. And I'm experiencing something what looks like geometric corruption, face melting, body stretching, etc.

Sadly I don't have screenshots to show... but I did find a solution.

- Disabling PhysX from NVidia Control Panel stopped the messy textures from occuring. (Don't ask why or how.)
- Geometric corruption or whatever it is, still occur sometimes. Alt+Tab removes it.

These methods worked for me. At least the game is now playable.

Oh, I'm using:
Vista 64x
8800 GTS with newest drivers. (191.07, I think?)
Core 2 Duo ~2,7GHz
4GB Ram

I hope this helps!

I tried disabling PhysX 9.09.0408 and 9.09.0814 with no success.

Yesterday I managed to play 4 hours without any problems. Then after few hours later I started to play again and it took only 5 minutes when problems occur.
I didn't do anything else with my computer between those two sessions than quit DAO and continue later.
Weird...

Here is my latest pretty screenshot

I also can confirm similar graphic corruption with the latest Nvidia driver set 195.62. I was using 191.07 before and had no problems with corruption at all with at least 50 hrs worth of play time.

One other thing of note is that even with the 191.07 and also 186.18 drivers I had to disable PhysX in the Nvidia control panel to stop the game from randomly crashing. With Physx disabled the game never crashed once but as soon as I enabled PhysX it would crash to desktop sooner or later.

System Info:
E8400 3ghz
4gb ram
8800gt
Onboard audio (realtek)
Winxp SP3


Oh and Physx was disabled in the control panel while using the 195.62 drivers when the graphic corruption came on.

[pegeseus12]

As a few others have mentioned, try disabling PhysX in the Nvidia control panel. After disabling that, I got a decent performance boost and was able to turn Frame Buffer Effects back on so it looks nice n' pretty again without slowing the game to a halt.

[Gilean11]

Well, this is quite disappointing. I'm running an Nvidia 8800GTX, and I'm seeing the same problems others in these threads are reporting. No problems at all until I had the game for about a week, and now I can't play 5 minutes without these graphical errors making it unplayable. I logged 200+ hours in Fallout 3 (which I consider more GPU-intensive than DAO) on high settings plus modded HD-textures, and never had anything like this. What the heck is it about this game?

[Carcinogyn]

Nvidia 9600 GT OC here, I'm also having major graphical issues. I tried various options, disabling physx, turning down AA seemed to help a tad but to no avail. I'm getting a lot of garble type corruption, where everything is scrambled on my screen. Alt-tabbing helps for the moment, but it comes back eventually. I figured at first it might have been my graphics card overheating but it runs under normal temperatures while playing. Haven't resorted to falling back to older graphics drivers...

[Gilean11]

It gets worse, last night I decided to play Fallout3 a bit just to make sure my card is OK, and now I've got the same graphical problems in that game. It's now unplayable. NEVER had a problem in Fallout3 before. Did DAO kill my GPU?

[Aghix]

i have an nvidia gefore 8600gts. winxp sp3



i had alot of graphical problems too. i used driver sweeper and wiped my nvidia driver, then i installed the new 195.62 whql driver. it seems to work well for me. the only problem ive seen now is CTD and 2 bsod. i havent played in a week in fear of more bsod, but when i was, my graphics messups didnt happen.



i only played a few hours each time so i cant say it wont happen AT ALL, but i didnt see anything, so its maybe worth a try. da:o doesnt seem to like the 8600 or 9800 series much on the non 195.62 drivers

[Gilean11]

Well, I think my GPU may be dying. Been trying to run stability tests in the Nvidia Control Panel, and it fails every time..."too many errors to complete, application must shut down." Hopefully just a coincidence that it happened a week after I started DAO....I've never heard of a particular game being able to kill a video card.

[Carcinogyn]

I started up DA:O Today in Ostagar and my game already began to massively glitch with the graphics. Before, it took a few hours of running time, now it is instantaneous.

UPDATE: Played Left 4 Dead 2 today, got the same graphical **** happening again but in a different game. Gonna try another game and see if it happens, seems like DA:O might have screwed my computer to hell.

Another UPDATE: Ran Call of Duty 4: MW and pretty much got the same crap, although this time the glitches were more in the textures, everything was garbled and it looked like everything got shot with a molecule scrambler. Safe to say that there's a issue with my system now.

Gonna hit up EA Support for some feedback on this issue and then try rolling back my drivers as pegesus12 has mentioned. Will keep this updated.

Alright so I talked to Austin from EA Support, he says a lot of users have this issue and a simple clearing of your temp/cache will resolve the issue. I'm in the process of clearing out temp so I'll let you folks know if it worked or not, Austin seemed to believe that this will definitely fix the graphical corruption issue.
