Im playing on Vista with a really good pc, i get no lag hardly, and I'm getting these rediculously long load times. Took 20 minutes to load the  arena in the one origin story. Any fixes or anything I can do to help this? because if not, then this really was a waste of 65$.

What are your system specs? What antivirus are you running?

If you have been playing the game for... say a few hours straight, your ram fills up because the game has a few bugs in it and then once your ram fills the loading times skyrocket. If this happens simply shut off the program and either restart the computer and relaunch dao immediately or simply leave dao off for a few minutes while you browse the web or something.

The game in general is terribly, terribly optimized.
This computer can run Crysis on very high at 30-40fps.
During battle Dragon Age drops to 10-5fps with AA off.

The game itself is good but just the sheer amount of technical problems have crippled the enjoyment.
Instead of attempting to fix any of this in the lastest patch what did we get? Dagger fixes.

Have you tried looking in the troubleshooting FAQ? There are a list of possible fixes for things like this.  Further "really good PC" is completely worthless when requesting tech support.  Please provide all of the following:

Basic Hardware Specification Chart (Empty so far-Shamelessly stolen from Gorath, tyvm)

Processor Manufacturer: AMD / Intel
Processor Name / Type: Athlon 64 / Pentium / C2D / dual core / quad, etc.
Processor Speed:  ?.? Ghz (or AMD Performance Number)
Operating System / Service Pack: WindowsXP with SP #?, Vista ? (Oh, no!) Windows 7?
Graphics Card: Ati / NVidia (nothing else will do)
System RAM: ? ? GBs (MBs, if less than 1024)
Sound Card Manufacturer:
Sound Card Model:

How the game got out in the state it's in is baffling.
But hey, at least they used the delays to focus on the console versions, right? :whistle:

Conversely, once you post your specs with anything less than a quad core/SLI gfx cards/6gb ram, having a ****ty computer is the diagnosis

that's hardly true amrose... but if you're running on a "great computer" with a 1.6Ghz single core processor... Having all the things you listed may actually be a hinderance rather than a help with DA as there are problems with Phenom Quad cores, certain SLI drivers have massive issues and seeing as this is a 32-bit application it will never use more than 2GB of RAM in any case.

 Im having this exact problem, running vista with; Intel quad core 2.4, 6g ram, nvidia 8800 gtx on dx10...the game runs perfectly all the time but in two transition loading screens so far has just stopped, up to 40 minutes!! I tried the latest patch (obviously) and it bugs out at the same area that it was meant to load >< can anyone help please!? :(

Have you tried the fixes listed in the Troubleshooting FAQ, Semelia? Depending on your version Quad, it's very probable that you have one of the ones fixed by CPU affinity.

Are you running AMD? Why not check out my sig.



I've been complaining about the "memory leak" for sometime now, until xb360 or Zippy found a utility that smoothens everything out. Ironically, this means the problem is not universal within the game itself, but how it handles processor time. For AMD - you are in luck, try out the utility you'll be fine.

Semelia is running an Intel, he said. Further, I've just uncovered what seems to be a problem with the CPU L2 cache buffering: I've been talking to several people with specs similar to mine... I have no issues, they have slow downs... the noteworthy difference is a smaller L2 cache, which would fill up and then overflow causing slow-downs as it's being cleared and reused. Which makes a lot of sense since in some cases it's resolved by using processor affinity to reduce which cores are being used (the reason it might not work for some and will work for others would depend on how the L2 cache is handled on the individual processor... some use a shared L2 cache and others have dedicated caches per CPU).
