Hi everyone,

Thanks to your help and that of our private beta group, we've been able to track down and correct the excessive area load times and GUI slowdowns that some users with DirectX10-era video cards were reporting with our previous public beta of Patch 1.05. Please click here to download the updated Patch 1.05 BETA install file [LINK REMOVED - The official 1.05 patch is now available from our Patch Page. You can discuss it here.]

Note that we continue to encounter one remaining authentication issue regarding the Blood Dragon Armor not appearing under the current 1.05 BETA. We're working on it and hope to release an official 1.05 patch once that issue has been successfully addressed.

Q: Can Steam users apply the 1.05 BETA patch?
A: The Steam service unfortunately doesn't support BETA patches. However, all PC/Mac users who have registered their game automatically receive free access to the full-game download via EA's Origin service. If they wish, users who have purchased the game through Steam can uninstall their Steam version and replace it with their Origin version, thereby gaining access to the 1.05 BETA patch. Once the patch is no longer in BETA and sees an official release, Steam users will be able to access it via Steam's normal patching process.

Here are the current 1.05 patch notes for your perusal.:

------------------------
Dragon Age: Origins 1.05
------------------------

//General Fixes//

DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT
­- Downloadable content will properly authenticate once installed.

PERFORMANCE
­- Fixed an issue where some users with DirectX10-era video cards were
experiencing significant lag within menus and interfaces as well as sudden
spikes in area load times.


//Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition Fixes//

INSTALLATION
­- The Ultimate Edition installer for the EA Download Manager (EADM) version of
the game was placing the CD-Key in the wrong location in the Windows registry.
EADM has been replaced with EA's Origin system and this error has been corrected
in the new Origin installer. For those who purchased and installed the Ultimate
Edition via EADM, the Patch 1.05 installer will copy that CD-Key into the
correct Windows registry location.





Enjoy,
Rob

@Furtled - the 1.05 beta (old and new) is a pure executable change and can be applied directly to 1.04 or the previous 1.05 beta. No need to revert.

@CanuckDAge - Thank you. We'll look into the uninstaller error.

@StoneTheCrow & Elemntialomnicron - this continues to be a beta patch. The final version of 1.05 is not yet out. We'll hand it off to TransGaming and Steam once it is.

@ForgottenWarrior - We identified some critical failings in the authentication system for Dragon Age: Origins and decided to make that our priority. Those playing the Awakening expansion or the Ultimate Edition will also benefit from these fixes.

By that do you mean it fixed the load time issue that was in the game prior to 1.05 or just the extra load time caused by the beta patch? -Does the game still have a load time issue at all?

Some aspects of this issue appear to have been introduced in 1.04 but were greatly accentuated by the earlier 1.05 beta. The current beta addresses the root of the problem in both cases.

As a general rule of thumb, area loads on a min-spec computer should stay under 60 seconds. They'll be well under that in most cases.

I'm assuming this is not at all related to the CPU issue where having more than two cores set in process affinity can cause the game to crash?

Your assumption is correct. This is an unrelated issue.

Game was fine prior to downloading previous 1.05 patch. Then got slowdowns and also echo of dialog in cut scenes as well as some crackling noise.
Had the same fault as CanuckDAge on previous and revised patch install so also ignored it. Thought it had sorted the in-game problems but alas not.

I downloaded this version of DA:UE from EA's Origin, not sure if taht makes a difference?

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your report, Gamerdad. Am I understanding this correctly?

• So your game was fine under 1.04.
• You downloaded the original 1.05 beta, ran into some installer issues as per CanuckDAge, and then started experiencing slowdowns and audio issues.
• You downloaded the updated 1.05 beta, ran into the same installer issues, and the slowdowns and audio issues remain.

Can you describe your slowdown issues? The specific ones we encountered and addressed with this updated beta were in area loads and user interfaces.

Also, this is the first we've heard of any audio issues related to 1.05.

If you revert back to 1.04, does everything clear up again? Does it recur when you re-apply the 1.05 beta?

Thanks,
Rob

@GamerdadJase

It sounds like your slowdowns and audio are separate from what we've been finding and addressing in 1.05.

The 1.05 beta is just an executable change so you should be able to just replace the executable with the one from 1.04 (provided you made a backup).

If you didn't make a backup, Patch 1.04 is still available from http://social.biowar...page/da-patches and you should be able to just re-run the installer.

Let us know how you fare,
Rob

Locking the thread now that patch 1.05 is officially released. Valve informs us that the patch should be live on Steam later today.
