I have only played the game for a measly 5 or so hours, but these problems occur continuously, and i mean in every cutscene/fight sequence/camera pan/lengthy conversation.

Is there something wrong with my copy? Is there something wrong with my, to my knowledge, perfectly functioning PS3? Is there going to be a patch?

It amazes me beyond expression how disfunctional this game is, and I find it hard to believe any developer would release this game if what I am experiencing is what they saw when they said "Yep, that will do. Sell it."

I have to wonder if it is your PS3. Wish I could help with some advice, but I'm fairly new to the PS3 scene. All I can say is that the only issue I've had with DA:O is some audio clipping in really busy scenes.



I did see someone say that if you go into options and turn off the server access (or something along those lines), it can improve performance.

[bjwal6]

Mmm, I'm inclined to agree if others aren't having these issues. Very puzzling.

[Mage Dan]

This issue has happened to me ONLY when I've a ton of AoE's going on at once. It just drops the frame rates like no tomorrow.



Landsmeet is a perfect example. Blood Wound, Inferno, Blizzard, it's over. I can go use the restroom and get a small bite to eat and come back before it catches up and I hit the cutscene with the reverend mother.

Actually I too am having this issue it is not his ps3 people are just not complaining about it.

[MachDelta]

I rarely have noticeable framerate problems. Occasionally I will experience some out of sync or altogether missing dialogue though. It seems to be fairly random for me.

Then it's odd that I have done an 85 hour playthrough and did not have these problems - can't say why that is. The one thing I will say is that very early in the game the frame rate was noticable and I worried a bit about it. But shortly thereafter it became smooth and remained that way for virtually the entire game. Only on some of the more intense battles did I notice any slowdown and only once did it become enough of a problem to interrupt game play. I simply quit and loaded my last save and then it played A-OK. As far as sync etc problems I had virtually none, though there seems to be a few lines of dialogue (literally I'd say a handful during the entire game) that were mixed to the wrong channel or something as I could hear them very faintly and with a strong echo, but the main track was clearly gone. I think I only noticed something being out of sync once or twice. That's it as far as problems go. And I was amazed that I had no crashes or major bugs. With Oblivion I came to view crashes as an almost regular occurance, by comparison, and Falout 3 on the PS3 had some hilarious bugs and problems for me, like dead enemies skyrocketing in to place and flopping around when revisiting areas.

Well, I'm glad you were happy with your play through, but it does sound like it is a serious problem with the game, and I don't think I should have to restart and reload, just to continue playing, especially not on a console. And it also seems the severity of issues varies, but once again this could be different people with different perceptions.



Either way I'm somewhat less than impressed

[skitzopath]

I'm currently working on my second play through and if there are any framerate issues I havent noticed them. As for missing / off-sync dialouge . . . well it happens from time to time but it isnt a deal breaker for me as I could care less . . . the gameplay is absolutely outstanding!

[coffeerox]

The thing about varying reports of framerate issues is that some people are playing on 480p, which has a lot smoother framerate than on 720p. Those playing on 720p but w/ no internet connection experience a slightly smoother experience than those that are connected to the server. Those playing on older 1080i sets w/ no 720p, don't realize the game is being downscaled to 480p which isn't HD and has better framerates. It's best to take such reports cautiously because it's not as cut-and-dry as it seems.



Personally I play it on 720p w/ servers enabled and the only time it froze was at the last battle with boss/ally AOE's and dozens of enemies at once. I'm now going through it with servers disabled (PSN signout or whatever) and see how much better it is.

[vonFurious]

Gotta say I have been having the same impressions about lack of polish/ framerate/ general stiffness. I am playing in 720p and just sweeping the camera around isn't as "smooth" as it should be. Combat is jerky, and I agree with user "bjwal6" this is pretty unacceptable.



I guess I'll play in SD 480p, but if that doesn't resolve the jerky issues, hmmmmm.

[Kikolool]

How do u change to 480p? is it in the ps3 display settings or an ingame option?

[Tinkertonus]

Resoultion Fix: set your PS3 capable resolution to 1080p always, and turn off the others. (The game was made for 720p so using 1080p makes no difference other than what your TV thinks it's getting.)



Missing sound: On the rare occasion you will get the character dialog in your surround speakers only. to fix this issue set your PS3 to steroe output only or change your sound type from FULL HD to 5.1 (DTS)



Slow Downs: You will see some chopping frame rate on a rare occasion, this is because more data is hitting the CPU/GPU on the PS3 than it can handle: Unless your in a heavy battle scene this is likely being caused by outside influences such as active downloads in the background or peices of software running in the background on your PS3. (Try completely turning your PS3 off and back on before playing DA) If your experiencing a matrix style SLOW MOTION, this is one of your toons performing a SUPER KILL ACTION. (these are cool and are part of the game.)





Hope this information helps everyone.

[666shadowking666]

hw on earth can a game that looks 4 yrs old hit the CPU with more data it can handle? Oblivion looks way better than this and runs way smoother than this one on the ps3..
I just have to say that BioWare just chopped the 360 version right over to the ps3 and upgraded the graphics a bit but didn't care one cent to get it run as smooth...
For being the first game on the ps3 they did a lousy job.

But as someone stated for those that has problems with this game running choppy mostly everywhere.. just go into options and uncheck the two boxes there (player profile update and one more) when those two are unchecked the game runs alot smoother

I've had some missing dialogue in a couple of places, I'm thinking it's the game, I can't see a "Stereo" option on PS3 either

[666shadowking666]

u shouldn't have too.. just go into options and uncheck the two boxes that tells your game to send tons of stupid info to the dragon age server all the time and the game runs way better on all areas

[Pure_Mind_Games]

k I'll give it a shot

[bjwal6]

Ok so to summarize, to improve the frame rate:

- disable the server information uploading, which seems to offer some improvement

- or downgrade to 480p.

I don't think i should have to say that downgrading to almost half the resolution just to make the game run at an acceptable frame rate is completely unacceptable. Particularly when the graphics are among the worst of any game on the PS3. This is understandable given the extremely long development period, and the games other attributes more than make up for it, but if an ugly game can not play at an acceptable frame rate on a console, a patch MUST be initiated to solve the issue.

It's not a minor foible, it's a fundamental stuff up, probably from a bit of a rush to get the game out on all 3 platforms at once.

[Haexpane]

"worst of any game on the PS3" is an over the top statement. Not many games have 4 member real time combat against a host of enemies.



It's like a beefed up KOTOR on XBOX1, the 360 version does not look as sharp but runs better...

[bjwal6]

You're missing the point, no game should have frame rate issues on a console.

[McGoig]

The issues with Dragon Age pale into insignificance in comparison with Fallout 3. That was appallingly buggy.

Reagarding framerates, some frame rate issues can be solved by running sound through HDMI and not optical but it is only a temporary fix, also disable server coms and run in 720p.



I think developers need to make sure that the game can run comfortably on any console they develop for, these framerate issues and suchlike should be a PC/Mac issue only.

[bjwal6]

I don't know where, I think in a Gamespot review or some-such, but they commented they were hopeful that Bioware would realease a patch to help the framerate issue, as it had been done for several other games shortly after they were released.



Any idea what these games were? Or if a patch could indeed relieve the problem?



If it's possible I would be very hopeful Bioware would attempt it, they put a lot of emphasis on their ongoing support for games, particularly DA

[Arngrimmar]

Throwing in my support.  I've had these issues too.  Entire lines of missing (spoken) dialogue, poor frame rates just walking around, and once the entire deep roads went black, leaving my floating starfang and some healthbars to help me navigate.

[Silke Neryn]

Same here, I'm playing the game in 720p (HDMI) and the framerate constantly jumps all over the place. Never what you would call "smooth", stutters and chugs - in comparison with the 360 version I also happen to have, the difference is huge.

And forget what you have heard about the graphics being better - the contrast is higher, and therefore somewhat more vibrant colors, yes, but the PS3 version doesn't even have swaying trees, grass and bushes. Its nature feels completely static. Not so on the 360.


I also experience sound problems through my optical set-up. DTS cuts off now and then; Dolby Digital 5.1 cuts even more; Stereo has irritating distortions.

It's all quite a shame, because I definitely prefer the gentle feel of a sixaxis in my hand...

And oh - I didn't get Shale either. Hope it turns up. Before I turn this in.

It should perhaps also be noted that I've tried, up to three times, to reinstall the game data in hope of some improvement (something I heard about through the grapevine) - but no such luck. Everything remains the same, and my PS3 has never showcased any kinds of problems with other games, which is to be expected - since this is clearly a case of yet another troubled PS3 port. The biggest question, though, is the one I have to ask myself - why the hell did I buy it?

Hope?

dude what are you taling about? the ps3 version does have those things Ive seen it myself. Ive compared it to my friends 360 version and the graphics look better there is no denying in that and with the boxes unchecked so the game doesn't send much stuff to the servers the framrate runs the same as on the 360 I can't see any difference atm.. maybe like gamespot said I will see the framerate drop when there are hordes of enemies on screen at the same time but right now where I am in the game it runs like the 360 version and looks better.
