nVidia has informed us that the issue will be fixed in the next version of their drivers (280.xx). Their current ETA for this ~3 weeks (i.e. early to mid-July).

[Thandal N'Lyman]

Thx for the update, Rob.

I'll still wait for the early adopters to pronounce it safe before installing, (just like I'm glad I did with the 275.xx version and so avoided the whole issue!)

running 875 K, on an Asus MaximusIII Formula with two 560 Ti Sc in SLI, definitely driver related
with improvements in Witcher2 and some really funky light jitters plus crash in DAOII 275.33.But I digress my real heartche is Civ 5 which frequently goes dark at transitions ( non recoverable)and then throws in a complete down to crash and out about every 10 turns . anybody bitten by that snake:? thanks for the work on nvidia and bioware

 This is helpful and soo wrong that it hurts.

Thank you - your right I wouldn't have spotted this without the warning in the general information column

I've had similar problems--random lock-ups, grey tiles following my party--but did not want to roll back driver because in other respects (control panel changes) and for other games (notably Witcher 2) the new driver is far superior. However, after reviewing this forum, I found that setting graphics to High rather than Very High solves all the problems, with hardly noticable drops in detail. I'd suggest trying this before making any driver changes.

[Rob Bartel]

Thanks wardgrey - although individual users experience may vary based on the specifics of their hardware configuration, that's definitely a good suggestion.

mmh they have put the new beta drivers , they work or what ?

[Thandal N'Lyman]

Loaded up the nVidia GeForce 275.50 (beta) driver last night.
No problem with DA:O, haven't tried with DA2 yet.

[Anthedon]

The beta driver does not fix the CTD issue. Just tried it out and the first cutscene sent me to my dektop. We'll have to wait for the 280.xx it seems.

[Matriel]

kept getting the CTD issue at the end of the black powder promise quest-line. switching the details from very high down to high solved the issue. plus the weird moving 'black shadow boxes' seem to be gone. still annoying...

[Homer_S]

Is there a safe procedure to roll the drivers back? Dialing the details and textures down did not fix the CTD issue. DW is complaining about the BRAND NEW LAPTOP crashing!

Never forget that "newness" is meaningless. Only performance means anything, and 98% of the new non-Llano Fusion mobiles do not have graphics capability for gaming.

Was this in response to me? If so, does this one meet your approval?

With a 1920x1080 screen, a GTX 560M is not that powerful, according to me. DA2 is an exceptionally heavyweight game (in the bad sense of the thing). I play it at 1920x1200 on a desktop machine, with an i7 2600@4.00Ghz and a GTX 580 card. With higher settings I can't say I obtain stellar performance. Looking at the framerate, I would say DA2 runs poorly for the graphic quality it offers. This week I have bought a second GTX 580 and I configured it in SLI mode. The framerate really improved, but with 8x AA it still suffers from huge frame drops, sometimes. I still feel this game runs like s_it, after all. Now, take in consideration a configuration with 2 GTX 580s is way over the possibilities of the majority of players, your conclusion should be immediate. Anyway, no, your crashes don't depend by your available horse-power, as stated by that user. It's a driver thing. Just uninstall your drivers and do a clean install with a previous version. Your laptop is adequate if you accept some compromises on the settings.

Just an advice: never consider laptops powerful machines. Because they aren't. "Gaming laptop" is a marketing claim. And really a bad one.

I don't care if the fault is with nvidia or bioware but all I know is that since the launch of the game I've not played well on dx11 and all the graph options maxed more than two weeks in a row.

Each Nvidia update or updates the game itself is a lottery...

While other games get better with each nvidia driver, this gets worse... no excuses!

[Ezohiguma]

100% reproduction rate on GTX590s. Everything else runs perfectly fine and my new rig annihilates everything I have. Just DA2 buggers out.

I'm not going to revert, I'll wait for the fix.

As someone said, dropping the graphics setting to "High" seems to work around the problem if you don't want to revert the drivers.

Had to get a laptop with less than $2k budget. Not tragic, but not a desktop. Regardless, when it's running DAII it looks fine. Now the drivers just need to be stable!

I think this thread could be safely locked as the resolution has already been posted (wait for the 280 driver from Nvidia, roll back to previous stable driver, or set graphical settings on "High"). There are posts veering OT here.

I had the same problem with these drivers but the problem was resolved miraculously for me. The game crashed every time I was trying to leave my home in Act 1. I set everything in low with antialiasing off and nothing. In the next day after a PC crash I tried again and no problem. 3 days now - no crash and I can even minimise the game (before the game crashed every time). And I'm almost in the end of the game. That work for me, I hope it can help and somebody else
P.S. My drivers are without the 3D part. I didn't install them. My video is 7900GS.

It was mentioned above that changing the graphical settings to anything but "Very High" solves this problem for now.

This is now the fourth week and is clearly mid-July. No sign of new drivers, any further official update?

Sorry guys, we're on their timeline. They'll release it when it's ready.

[Serefinn]

Hey quick question - I haven't played in... a while, and haven't installed the 1.03 patch yet, so my question is - will it bugger anything up if I install the 280.xx driver BEFORE installing 1.03? Or is it safer to install 1.03 before 280.xx?
