It's truely upsetting how many bugs this game has on PC, personally I've spent over 90 hours thus far playing the game between PS3 version and PC version, the console is excellent, bravo, excellent job Bioware. The PC varient on the other hand has not properly worked since day one, patch 1.02 quelled a few issues yes, althou the major ones are still in effect and seemingly getting worse.

The next patch needs to adress this "memory leak" issue there is an obvious code error that ensures by less than an hour into game play all four of my cores are running hot (100% cpu) and all eight gigs of my ram is spent, no other game does this, I've tried ever suggested fix including a few of my own from prevoius gaming issues with no success.

Also, the connectivity between the game and the EA/Bioware servers as of last patch has slowly but surely gotten worse, i used to lose connection once in a great while, now its daily sometimes multiple times per gaming session, if you folks intended the game to run with online content, or a login required to launch, make sure your server stability is solid, this shouldnt even be a thought, if you don't have techs looking at them, perhaps its time to invest.

Lastly, I love the game, don't get me wrong its fantastic when it works, and even more so looking forward to other titles your company is putting forth within the coming year (the old republic ...especially) My only suggestion would be to fix these issues as quick as possible let us avid gamers get our fill of a great game with player mods, on the system were comfortable with (PC is my preference unless you couldnt tell) your only hurting your own reputation, if this same level of service can be expected in a pay to play online game (ToR) then you've failed already.

As this is a support foroum i'm done griping my issues are the most common on here - "Mem leak", Conection issues, 30-45 minutes into the game im bombed with lag, cpu reads max, ram max, system temp runs rampent.

Specs for those who will ask -
AMD Phenom II processor (2.4ghz) Quad Core
8 Gigs of Corsair DDR3 XMS memory
Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT Motherboard
Corsair 1000 watt PSU

its something with your specific setup sadly. my DA:O doesnt top more than 1.2 gb of ram after an hour. might be your x-fi sound card.

You are not 100% sure it is his setup at all. So why say that. First off these issues have been going on with a lot of different setups. The Problem is with the game and BAD coding or memory/processor management. Seriously you need to stop saying it is peoples hardware when these issues have been talked about and addressed by Bioware on an old thread.

[Shadesofsiknas]

I agree its very annoying when people come on saying my game works fine it must be your pc thats broke. Why even post this? If your game works well happy days for you. That doesnt mean that there isnt problems that are affecting others.

Yes but the majority of the time there is something in the user's setup that is less than optimal. Creative is known for having tons of bugs with their X-Fi cards, especially with Vista and 7. AMD had the TLB issue with early model Phenom processors and their Athlon derivatives. nVidia constanty puts out drivers that fix and break things. There is a level of optimal hardware and drivers that can be reached with this game to run stable and fast. Therefore if you have a problem it could be solved with different hardware or drivers - which is the setup. Its not automatically safe to say that it isn't a hardware or driver or even software conflict problem because that hardware/driver/software has the same chance of having a bug. Should Bioware have to write code to work around bugs in other company's hardware/drivers/software? How is Bioware supposed to avoid something like the AMD TLB issue?

LOL well maybe they should spend more time testing the game. PERIOD seriously I don't expect them to buy all the hardware but, guess what you can DL all the drivers need to do testing. This is why there is Beta testing. Bioware should of seen this comming with the AMD TLB issue last time I checked they where the programmers not me or anyone else who is playing this games. Creative is one of the biggest sound card developers shouldn't EA/ Bioware spend some time with them working on drivers for there game. AKA testing.  No Bioware shoul.d not write the code working around other companies bugs but, whats funny with most people is there other games work just fine but, this one is a problem. That says something like "Bad Coding". Dunno about you but, I have a lot of high end games on my Rig and they all work stable and fine. Some had some issues but, nothing like this game. Funniest thing is I am not the only one with these issues "Again Not My Hardware". Must be somehting else.

[kraftykid114]

In all actuality i tried yanking my sound card and using on board it makes no difference as i stated above its a coding issue, and to the best on my knowledge i cant think of what specific code might be doing this, anywhoo i forgot to mention I use Win 7 ultimate 64 bit!

Work in QA and then you will understand how hard it is to test every single combination of hardware/software/driver/distributor with all their different versions and patches and side-model numbers is. And how expensive it would be to have every single piece of hardware and software available. Just think! one of everything off of Newegg.com and then trying to test all of the many combinations you can make out of it! How long would that take? 40000000 man-hours? divided by how many testers at ~$12/hr ? 

Perhaps it IS hardware or software or drivers or a combination of two or more of them and the "other people" happen to have a common denominator that isn't limited to CPU or video card. People refuse to believe this though and thus don't try something as simple as disabling their sound card or turning off their antivirus.

Do you think that Bioware would intentionally release a game with an incompatibility they know of and not tell you about it? 

[kraftykid114]

Valaskjalf , I can't outright disagree with you, it very well may be a driver issue, or even a hardware problem, my question is simply why when so many other than myself are experiencing the same issues with many vaired system specs, has this not immediatly been looked over and solved, these companies make millions on "best selling" titles, spend it to keep your player base content or risk failing as a company.. it comes down to that (take SOE, there games have all bombed due to poor descisions, and not listening to there customers). No Bioware did not intend on releasing a broken agme of that im sure, but when i can run every other game i own (fallout 3, crysis, Aion, COD 4 MW2, and many more) on max settings with no issue what so ever, hardware or software, I ask again why is this not fixed, 2 months is more than enough time, even an entry level code engineer could tell you that.

I understand that it might seem like a huge amount of users are seeing the same issue thus it should be noted and fixed, but in reality its probably a dozen or two combinations of hardware/drivers/software that are causing similar issues that everyone is grouping in to one thing. Additionally, you must also recognize that the users here are a small minority in the big scheme of things. if there are 300,000 pc users and only a couple hundred people complaining, thats under 1% of users. now not all these users use customer support or post their problems either, which makes it very hard to collect data in order to diagnose the problem. a customer service group needs to have enough information to narrow down the real issue in order for the developer to know whats going on. the developer then must be fix and the test the fix. if its a major fix with the core components, they want to make sure they dont break something else in the process. all of this takes a whole bunch of time. if the problem is with a third party group, it can take even more time to fix because they first have to convince them to fix it and then the third party has to make and test the fix then the developer must test the fix as well. the software development cycle is not as quick as one may think, especially with such a large product that must run on four or five years worth of different hardware.

totally agree.  And who is to say none of us with problems have not already went through the list of unlimited fixes to try and fix the issue? 
We tried the fixes.... that is why we are here now trying to get them resolved.... I do not think it is the communities problem to try and fix everyones issues while EA / Bioware sit back and say " Well so and so fixed it, so we can move on to other things."  (no i am not saying this is whats being said, but it almost feels like it)

Every game I have, new and old runs perfectly fine.  This game... well i will not even get into that since I have other posts for that.

This is no small ammount of users, every PC user with the exception of a scarce few are having issues from small to very very large, why are you defending a company thats obviously not paying you, again i acknowledge it may be a hardware issue and have tested all of my hardware even run scans to check how my system effects the game and my conclusion is code, I've worked with PC's for years, id be the first to defend these people if i could say "yes this piece of hardware causes this issue" but again numerous different pieces of hardware are causing the same issues this no longer becomes a hardware fault but software.

Again i run many other game, quite a few from bioware themselves, mass effect runs perfectly, smooth as can be, that was a stroke of pure genious on the testing teams side, this game needs an overhaul and i leave my ranting at that, but please don't push the issue away from the main source its EA/Biowares game, its there issue, it needs to be adressed.

I might have thought that too if i had problems starting out. My system was running fine but then i decided to upgrade to a 5770 a couple of days ago and the drivers I first tried had a terrible framerate about 30 mins in and very long (like 2 min) load times. Uninstalled those and tried the latest Catalyst drivers (9.11)  from the AMD site and now everything runs like perfectly fine. One graphics driver caused sound lag, slow loads, and frame dropping.

[Vespillo Infensus]

The problem the poster states is very alive and kicking on this forum and happens on a wide range of systems. Nobody cares if this is a software conflict or another specific error. The cause is simple. Run Dragon Age Origins and he and many others will run out of memory. 2GB, 4GB, 6GB, 8GB, doesn't change a thing. The game makes the problem appear and i think that when patched, the game can make the problem disappear.



It doesn't help that people come here to state that they don't have the problem so the poster must be wrong.



At the moment AMD processor based systems are taking the hardest beating and from my point of view, that's because their memory controller is in the CPU and not on the motherboard. With 6GB of memory filled up and 100% core load, the processor can't handle it any more and causes the game to freeze or crawl along.



This happens on S939, AM2 AM3 platforms. So shouting TLB because someone has a Phenom is ridiculous. As stated processors without the TLB bug have the same problem.



Even Intel platforms share the same pain.



I know some people need to play the brave knight that defends developers, but that will change when you find yourself on the receiving end of a similar problem.



And now we have arrived at the point where console games receive patches, things aren't going to get better. The first buyers are the second batch of beta testers.

[WillG027]

Agreed. The state of the gaming industry now , where half the time you intsall a game on release day, but can't even play it properly till months after because it needs a patch, is disgraceful.

EA have a lot to answer for there. It's their 'add a gimmick and sell a copy each year' business model that has spoiled the quality of games being released, as other companies follow suit.



As for this game, I will leave Dragon Age till the coding is more efficient and will not run the risk of burning down my house after it turns my computer into a heater.



A real shame because Bioware has always been my favourite developer, and I was really looking forward to this particular, more mature/complex rpg game.

[Drewbioso]

I'm sorry but I refuse to believe that rubbish loading times (unless I disable a core!) and progressively increasing load times is an issue on my end. The game is broken and I can hardly wait for the patch so I can start another playthrough, I feel really sorry for the people who experience game stopping bugs and crashes.

[sambuka]

You on the Bioware payroll Valaskjalf?? It is because of people like you that this game hasn't been fixed.

The Game is broken, period...get your arse into gear Bioware and get the damn game fixed. It is only to be hoped that Mass Effect isn't this bad or people will never buy a Bioware game again.

Well the lesson Ive learned and it is a good one is... Dont buy any EA/BW game on release day. Wait a few weeks and see if it works first before throwing money away.

Ok so lets help find the real problem. Why would an onboard memory controller be the cause of a slowdown? Its not like its build into one of the cores itself, its a different section of the chip. If the memory controller was a bottleneck, wouldn't the performance difference show for benchmarking applications? The onboard memory controllers are designed to proved more bandwidth thus i don't think they should be an issue. Developers should only be coding in a high level language so there shouldn't be anything anything specific to AMD or Intel besides being coded for x86.

ok so my DA doesn't suck more than 1.5gb /4gb at any given time. what the common difference between my system and those that are having the problems? If some people are having trouble and some arn't should it be that hard to find a common difference? at least then we would know exactly what to complain about.

Core 2 Duo E8500 6MB L2 @3.16
2x2GB DDR2 1066 @ 5-5-5-15
Asus P5Q Pro (P45 + Realtek HD Audio)
ATI HD 5770 1GB w/ vanilla 9.11 driver
WD Caviar Black 640GB
Windows 7 64 + MS Security Essentials

My DA loads up at 99% on both cores and runs at 60FPS (v-sync on) @ 1440x900 Very High 8xAA trilinear filtering

No I'm not, though I wish i was. I don't really think anything I say or do here affects anything very much besides any success I've had trying to troubleshoot peoples problems. 

Ok so theres something in the code that makes it run terrible on your system yes. But you could be more constructive and try to help determine the reason why. Perhaps Bioware doesn't have the same software/hardware/driver installed in their lab and thus having trouble reproducing the issue, thus if you have trouble, then you should let them know in a constructive manner. And you could try to start a thread or something and collect data that provides evidence that DA is incompatible with X hardware/software/driver/combination.

Why should I have to collect data? I have done my part by buying the game...If a company doesn't have a right first time policy on the product it sells the customer has a right to veto it's products.

Dragon Age has the feeling of a game that was rushed released  for the xmas market and so it wouldn't clash with the Mass Effect 2 release in the new year. No doub't they will fix it eventually but it has warned me off buying their games on pre-order again. In future I will wait 6 months before considering if I want to part with my money.

Valaskjalf, I have tried both pre-package and new release drivers fro my GPU, it still doesnt effect the issue, i even tried swapping back to my 4800 series with no major change other than looking slightly less attractive, im not bashing you in any way, and you are toss about valid points, althou your system is among the minority here. It would seem that dual core, less ram systems are not feeling the bite as much, why i cant explain and haven't been able to test.



Mind you my game loads up at 40% cpu and less than 1gb ram, this is where the issue takes place within 1/2 to an hour im at 100% cpu and 100% ram usage, that's unacceptable, the time for constructive thinking is over, I've tested every possible player suggested fix that applies to my system, and a few not there, but as always the problem lies within the game itself and cannot be fixed on my end, i made this thread as a "rant/this is whats wrong" sort of thing, and if a rig that runs market cost of $2800 with all the accesories (monitor and what have you) cannot run this game, i push for a fix and not more wait time!

You are a tool. maybe you should have thought of this when you first posted a response to the OP. It's Idiots like you that make asking for help difficult, not only did you admonish the OP but you hijacked his thread. Run along now and let this thread die.

Here's what Biowre really does...
...   copy and paste code becuase they really too cheap to invest in a real programmer one that might have some real training...
...   ignore threads like this on this piece of crap "network" site" mainly because they dont care about us. anyone except Priestly who is a ****** himself, so using vulgar language is appropiate here
...   since they are Canucks they really sit back and ****** on the United States then sit back and laugh about an incomplete, useless, and incompatable game that can only be played on a select few systems without issues mainly because they own those selective few systems...

It boils down to poor coding, get over it. There is no such thing as beta testing anymore, its called the post release patch now ...

It's truely upsetting how many bugs this game has on PC, personally I've spent over 90 hours thus far playing the game between PS3 version and PC version, the console is excellent, bravo, excellent job Bioware. The PC varient on the other hand has not properly worked since day one, patch 1.02 quelled a few issues yes, althou the major ones are still in effect and seemingly getting worse.

The next patch needs to adress this "memory leak" issue there is an obvious code error that ensures by less than an hour into game play all four of my cores are running hot (100% cpu) and all eight gigs of my ram is spent, no other game does this, I've tried ever suggested fix including a few of my own from prevoius gaming issues with no success.

Also, the connectivity between the game and the EA/Bioware servers as of last patch has slowly but surely gotten worse, i used to lose connection once in a great while, now its daily sometimes multiple times per gaming session, if you folks intended the game to run with online content, or a login required to launch, make sure your server stability is solid, this shouldnt even be a thought, if you don't have techs looking at them, perhaps its time to invest.

Lastly, I love the game, don't get me wrong its fantastic when it works, and even more so looking forward to other titles your company is putting forth within the coming year (the old republic ...especially) My only suggestion would be to fix these issues as quick as possible let us avid gamers get our fill of a great game with player mods, on the system were comfortable with (PC is my preference unless you couldnt tell) your only hurting your own reputation, if this same level of service can be expected in a pay to play online game (ToR) then you've failed already.

As this is a support foroum i'm done griping my issues are the most common on here - "Mem leak", Conection issues, 30-45 minutes into the game im bombed with lag, cpu reads max, ram max, system temp runs rampent.

Specs for those who will ask -
AMD Phenom II processor (2.4ghz) Quad Core
8 Gigs of Corsair DDR3 XMS memory
Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT Motherboard
Corsair 1000 watt PSU
WD 1TB Hard Drive internal / 2TB External
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5970 2GB GPU
Creative SB X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty Professional
VisionTek Killer Xeno Pro Gaming Network Card (PCIx)

What O/S? ans service pack ?? I'm runnnig Vista 64bit 12gigs Tri-core , I7 920 zero mem leaks less then 20% cpu usage at heaveest times. never even runs over 3 gigs mem usage and Vista is a mem hog
