I have to agree with that there IS a memory leak and people with huge amounts of RAM acknowledged this. I thought it was just me at first as well. I tend to view a problem at first with the game as - must be my computer. But it turned out it aint the case.



If it's a problem with Multi-core CPUs, then why do I have a problem?

Is my ram too low? then why ppl with 6 gbs of RAM have problems?



The engine runs surprisingly well on my computer, except for the reloading once in a while. It's not an urgent fix (as if gamebreaking), but it is more or less needed. I don't support people who feel they deserve miracles with $70. Nor do I support people who deny other people's troubles with the game. This is a troubleshooting section after all.

i am seriously worried about ME2 and SWTOR from the lack of support here and also the release of a buggy game... are we to expect this support when they both release?

[OneBadAssMother]

have you tried emailing them instead of posting threads?

The hell is wrong with DA's support?  You expect too much methinks. (game isn't that buggy)

This is all fine and well..except that EA customer support is the worst I have ever dealt with...don't expect actual help there.

[Titius.Vibius]

EA may as well outsource its technical support if it can't cope with the high volume of tickets. If this was in Japan, they will come to your house and even play it for you just to show you how it can be done.

[ScotGaymer]

Well like I have said.



I and others in this thread, are not denying that the game has its bugs and problems etc. I just feel that its not as severe as what the OP was making out. That was all.



And I dont think anyone else said that the game ran completely smoothly or anything like that either. I am not defending Dragon Age or Bioware.

I agree that they need to get the finger out and get the more severe problems sorted. I mean 1.01 and then 1.02 patches that dont really address the major issues at all. Both tackle the minor to moderate problems.



Your approach to the issue NewYears was reasoned and civl. And a much better way of tackling it. And its more likely to get noticed by the Devs who do look on these forums.

Crying and moaning like an immature child doesnt solve anything.

Apex no offense here but you are clearly an idiot.

Note my word choice. MORE STABLE.

I didnt say it was totally stable and bug free that you seem to be assuming and insinuating that I am saying.

I haven't and won't. So quit your crap and stop being an ass.

So your going to report me huh ? Lets see you have called me an Idiot, Ass and Chid all in one thread. What did I call you ?


Call me all the names you want. I really don't care I am not going to cry about it or report you. I for one have an Opinion and stand by it.  Just because you want to give in and say it's ok for game developer to release games in this sad state all the time doesn't mean I have to be acceptable of it.

BTW 1.02 didn''t fix any major issues with the game. A matter of fact I patched my game and played about 30 min then got a CDT.  This is still the same issue. Trust me I have done my research and I know it's not my hardware or any software installed.

The odd part is I encountered instability issues on a friend who downloaded this game through torrent and not a single day did he play without CTDs and abnormal reboot.

Is that the best statement you can do? Seriously calling me a Troll Boy back fires right at you? Sequencially you haven't contributed enough knowledge to fix your whining but over all have shown your sudden relapse of denial that your system is so mighty that every game should bow before it although at the end of the day your system is just a clone but is more useful to other users because they can figure it out how to use it.

I havn't had any problems, safe for a few graphical artifacts in certain areas that went away after the new 195.62 driver from nvidia, after which no more load time problems either. I do get the feeling from reading about alot of these problems, that this is more like a mmo beta before a major release. A few things answered here and there, but alot of it cryptic. Namely the online storage feature and its woes. From the way this game seems, I get the impression that Dragon Age: Origins is pre Dragon Age: Online. We ultimately are the testers, as features and problems are addressed and uploaded to thier servers. I don't think this game would do well as it is towards a transition to mmo (Heavy Story / Not enough fighting to balance the long dialogue) but thats easily fixed with respawns. An opinion yes but what I mean is simply put it comes down to fight, fight, fight, bored, goto story; story, story, story, bored; back to fighting. Having both unending fighting and multiple story paths is the best idea, people can choose to do either. The game auto adjusts to the main character level wise anyways. You can only play through the story so many times before it becomes boring. I do think it has the mechanics for atleast a NWN server page type run. To do this however requires a toolset thats applicable, alowing for a large choice selection much like NWN has; seeing the vast multitude of ideas and modules is always interesting. As well as sharing those modules with online players looking for a side-step to any set in stone story that a company has released. If you wanna make money on a title, dont just expand it, make it perpetual. Truth be told the ingredients are there for this to be adapted into an mmo, and odds are they will use this platform and storyline as the start. At the moment this is the single-player version that they can watch and study or learn from before they release an mmo that nets them money per month, with all the glitches weeded-out by the single player release. We just have to wait and see lol I could be wrong but odds are, I am right. If I am right, then they sure saved alot of money on testing lmao

ok so this guy calls up tech support for his internet because he can't surf the internet at all. A tech sees that there is a huge problem with the code red worm the tech can do one of two things, assume it is the worm causing the problem and tell the person to wait 24 hours and call back or trouble shoot it as if its a standard connection issue. Both options are viable but only one can be correct. Does he make the assumption that its the virus or does he assume its the connection? If you assume its the Virus and its not, that guy is still going to have the problem and the when he calls back again the next rep may or may not catch that its the connection and not the worm, if however you diagnose the connection you have a higher chance of solving the issue than if you just assumed it was the worm.

In other words, just because the symptoms are the same as what is being reported, doesn't mean you have the same issue. That is the reason why you want to document what you have done, even if you think it is one thing, it could be something else that someone has encountered and has fixed.

in the end its your choice which route you want to go with, diagnose and trouble shoot your computer or assume its the game and wait for a patch to fix it

edit ** if you want to see a paid mmo beta look at vanguard for the first 6 months, lol that sucked to all hell and makes this game look perfect. so dont compare this small amount of bugs to that huge amount of bugs, apples and oranges. If you chose to be a person that says that for every 1000 comments here about a bug there is 5000 more with that same issue go the other way as well, for every 50000 people posting there is 100k people not haveing a problem, we only see a select few, those that want to help others get past the problems and those that have the problems. Not the people that dont have any problems"

And the people reporting the problem on this forum aren't the only ones that are having issues, so that logic goes nowhere. The fact remains people are still having major issues, and they have not been addressed. It's so easy to say bs like that when it's not your problem. I want to see a fix, or at least an attempt at a fix, or Bioware announcing they are working on a fix, or announcing they haven't figured out what the problem is. I mean hell, even the new patch only addressed a tiny fraction of the balance issues the game has. The people using the toolset have fixed a lot of these issues weeks ago.

if you think the logic goes no where your sadly wrong. how long did it take humanity to figure out the earth was round after they were told it was round?  the logic isn't flawed its just your interpritation that is flawed.

  It's so easy to say bs like that when it's not your problem .

I've never said i wasn't affected by the memory leak, it just doesn't bother me to have to restart the game once every 4 hours.

One thing to remember that when a gamer makes a fix they dont have to go through 90 pages of red tape just to release it, nor have it sent to other departments to test it out to make sure  that it doesn't crash the game.
Patchs don't come out of nowhere, there is a reason why 1.02 is the way it is. They might not have all the information yet needed to fix the memory leak, we're looking at 15 gigs of information they have to sort through to track it down, repeating the same stupid thing over and over again so that they can watch the memory and go ok it was caused there, go onto the next area do the same thing etc until they have all the points that it is caused at, noted.  send it down the pipe to the next group that then tracks down the common element in each area and than just test that element to verify that it does cause the memory leak. sends the info down the pipe again, they than have to address how it wasn't working correctly and fix it than test that fix to make sure they are on the correct tract so they can then send it down to the next group. so on and so forth till it reachs this website. Its not a one step process like you think it should be.
To put that into another way if  5 minutes of songs is 4 megs thats 77,312 minutes, which is 1288.5 hours which at 8 hour days comes out to 161 days of listening to the same things over and over again (this is of course assuming only 1 person is working on it which would be a poor business move for a game this large)... How i wish patchs would be like microwaving dinner, 2 minutes and everyone would be happy instead of grumpy.
But than again i am one of those people that do make others wait in line when there being demanding and irrational. So feel free to take everything with a tablespoon of salt.  Wait no make that a cup...

[Rubbish Hero]

Terrible patch support so far.

Games broken, almost wish it was the unreal engine, at least the bloody thing works.

[Asmodejs123]

For me patch 1.02 worked well. Before it I had cracking sound issues, with enabled sound effects game lagged. As for now I installed new nvidia drivers 195.62 + patch. And all works perfect, no lagging and with sound effects.

[ScotGaymer]

Apex.



I give up. I really do. Your obviously only here to whinge and whine, and not to seek any legitimate help or discussion.



I repeate no one has said that its definately your system thats causing the problems and not the game. No one has denied that the game has a number of fairly serious and irritating bugs.

For Example:

Oghren dissapearing and not being able to be found.

The lagging issues in Denerim.

The Memory leak issues.



Many many people are experiencing these issues (including myself) and they are very very annoying. But once again I repeat that the game is not as bad as what you are claiming.



If you want a buggy game go play Fallout 3. If you are this dramatic about DAO with its small amount of bugs, you will probably kill yourself from playing that; just from the bugs in that game.



No one is exactly sure whats causing the memory leak; if we knew it would be fixed.



You can listen and have a reasonable rational discussion about it. Or you can keep moaning and crying about it. Either way I give up trying to get you to listen.

Pre 195.62 I had one crash I can recall. I was wanting to branch out at the redcliff nightime fight. I had spread my characters into 2's to help both locations. When I got to the bottom area the game CTD. After the driver update, well it hasnt done it since. I did remove all Nvidia components from my machine before updating the driver, it brought it to 800x600 low res, then I applied the update. I don't know if it can make a difference but it is better and there are no more load length climbs after doing this. The only other thing I can think of that may have made a difference was an Xdev install vid driver I think it was (got this when running a benchmark that added it), under programs and features. I had removed that as well, believe it's a codec of some sort. I wish I could help in some way but all I really can do is read whats said and reflect a little here and there. Bioware should atleast list all codecs or other things they have found through testing that can create problems by having them installed. Or if anyone notices some changes after messing with thier software config's (codecs or otherwise) posting that might help some I think. One additional thing that could help is listing the Dxdiag when reporting problems. This could then be compared between issues to see if there are any similarities. The only problem with that is the length they can be when posted, but I think the help they could offer out-wieghts thier length being an issue.

What's interesting about this comment is that if you're correct and it no longer increases load times over time then you've provided factual evidence (that's independent of my own evidence) that it's not a memory leak and not just a CPU problem. Glad to see that some people are figuring out the truth of the "memory leak lie".

I am going to make this short. I don't really care what you have to say all you have been doing is patronizing me on how I felt about this game release. I have every right to Rant. You did not have to answer anything on this thread did you? Yet you did, you could have just read and moved on but, no you didn't.  I don't know why you keep defending the game and the companies involved in making it. As I said more then 3 times on this thread I know it will be fixed, it's just a long wait for a month to get it fixed. I never said my system was the great all might machine that doesn't have issues. What I have said more then once is my system has been tested. I ran a lot of them. Oh and BTW just because it isn't that bad on your System doesn't mean it isn't worse on others. FACT others have complained about it. Therefore I am done with you because you can't even accept others opinions.
