Just a forewarning, I didnt read anything other than the first post, because lately all I see is people arguing back and forth about useless computer crap that really doesnt help anyone.



Anyway, KraftyKid, you're having the same problem I am. What fixed it for me was keeping my temperatures down. It 100% completely fixed the problem for me. I decided to take the side panel off of my case and set a box fan up to it ( a little extreme, I know), but It kept my temperatures way down (GPU down to 76, which is still hot but better than running at 129!). When the temp of the GPU hit 110 for me, the lag started.



So I implore you, try any means to reduce your temperature, especially with the GPU. Raising the back of your tower/laptop decreases heat (it did for me, tested and proved -15 degrees), as well as turning your brightness down to about 30% on your monitor. Im eager to know the results if you choose to test this solution out.

They still havent fixed the memory leak yet?I put mine away several weeks ago waiting.In the mean time I guess I will keep playing Risen.It actually works.I think they should hire a monkey to try and fix this game,at least he would shake the box and scratch his balls,thats more than Bioware support has done.

Rexxean you are again among the lucky ones, and if you scrolled down i posted that i run Win 7 ultimate 64 bit, with what ever service pack there happens to be which is none to my knowledge, CDay09, ty for the post, but alas my GPU temp is fine, i run a rather massive tower (coolermaster HAF full) with plenty of fans all running at top speed, the heat is pouring off my CPU, which is pinned at 100% for the duration of play after said time.

[ThrakenSal]

I know this is probably going to get me glamed, but have you checked the contact between your CPU and it's heatsink? AMD CPU;s are notorious for overheating, maybe you need a bit more arctic silver between them, Or possibly a better heatsink/fan combo. Or if all else faails, test it on a different system and see what the results are. Of course if you ran a Pentium..... Just Kidding Seriously lol

[kraftykid114]

0.o i would burn an intel processor before actually using one, yes iv'e tested it on another system running XP 64 bit, the OS doesnt seem to make a difference, nor the cpu (the other comp uses - AMD Athalon X2 Dual core 2.4ghz) yes my heat sink is fine, no i dont need more thermal paste.....

[WillG027]

All of these 'experts' in here stating that maybe it's peoples computers that are wrongly setup:

BALONY!



This is a pile of S#$t code by Bioware that is at risk of seriously overheating peoples computers; simply because of lazy coding.



I, amongst others, have a rig DESIGNED for playing games, yet this is the ONLY game that has this problem.



Fix the game ATLEST to how it should of been on release day:

WORKING!

LOL is that something like a good ole' flag burning?

I use a 550 oc'd to 3.6g with a Core-Contact Freezer. nothing ever over heats my proecessor even overclocked from 3.0g. I am still using the HD3300 on-board graphics that runs the game fine, for a while atleast...must be the idiot programmer fresh outta elementary school that took an online course in programming that wrote the code for this crap. One little job is all they had to do, and they blew up everyone else's stable computer trying to play this game for more then an hour at time....idiots..

[Kalidor Flamekeeper]

Can somebody help me, Please !

I crashed my harddisk and also my savegame of DA
Is it possible to get it via the online profile back???

Please help

[MOTpoetryION]

i recommend a big typhoon heatsink it rocks made by thermaltake

[MOTpoetryION]

And there are more then a few pieces of bad code in this game .IMO the whole tactical bs feature is just a cover up for a crappy AI and played off as a new innovative feature. well i didn't buy for a sec after the first 10 min of play pausing a fight please. give me a break

[berelinde]

This problem exists across such a wide variety of systems that it's impossible for it to be system related. Surely everyone cannot have neglected to maintain their computers.



The game operated normally for me for six weeks, and I just had my laptop professionally serviced (routine maintenance cleaning/replace thermal paste) only two weeks ago.

I know this is going to get hammered but heres my view, first of all not fanboy of any manufactuer of processors, I remember from having to choose between Intel, Cyrix, Amd . Choose AMD once it was there 300mhz processor great value but some software did have issues. AMD is a great company provides great competition to intel to help intel inovate faster and reduce cost. But generally speaking Intel is more stable platform and they have the majority still. So that being said when your company like Bioware or any other with a publisher prolly pushing you to rush the game out the door, You only gonna see to the majority get most things cosher first.

Just like ppl with map bugs are getting screwed on getting a fix, there not the majority so of lesser concern.

If there was a outcry on intel processor problems as bad as amd im sure it would get fixed faster.

I buy only intel because of stabality and software manufactures optimize for that first usually. Not because there the best value.

I know that doesnt help sheet in this thread but just a view point..I think on

Intel CPU here, and I have the wonderful memory leak (or whatever it is) causing area loads to go from a few seconds to a few minutes after half an hour of play, as well as stuff like opening inventory, starting dialogue, and so on all getting a noticeable pause.

[crazybernas]

For those that say that the game has a memory leak that eats up their 8GB system I have only one thing to say: Most 32bits applications can only address 2GB of memory (if they were compiled with certain flags they can use up to 4GB per process in 64bit OS)

For those who say that the game overheats the cpu/gpu I advise you to get a new cooling system and lower your overclock. I have my cpu with a 50% overclock and a 10hour stress test with prime achieved a max temperature of 56ºC.

I do not own the game (yet) and I'm not saing that it doesn't have problems. Only saying that if it overheats the problem was already there and the leaks, people are overreacting in the amounts.

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!

I had lots of problems on my Win7 64-bit installation when I had the original version of the toolset installed.

I completely reinstalled Win7, and installed the game without the toolset.  I have now been able to play through the game multiple times without a single issue.  I even played through twice after installing the new version of the toolset, and I'm having no problems at all other than obvious campaign script bugs that have always been there.

Perhaps your sound card or video card drivers are having an issue.  I'm running the following setup:

Asus Rampage Formula MB (onboard audio)
Intel QX9650 CPU
4GB RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD 5870
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard (with relevant drivers and utilities running)
Avast! Anti-Virus
Comodo Firewall

If your problems were strictly with the game, then I would expect to have seen similar problems.  In truth, I did see what I considered to be severe game compatibiliy issues with Win7 64-bit early on, but those were directly tied to the original toolset.

Ahhh gotta love clueless Intel addicts, and if intel had its way there would be no AMD and we would be  forced to pay for the monoply meaning 3-5 times more then what you pay one currently. Its thanks to the junk Intel puts out that we have companies like Creative, Nvidia and ATi (past tense).
Your beloved Intel is rumored to have payed MS to instill stability issues within Windows/AMD  combos, really amazing how "only AMD" had issues. get a clue. go post your Intel e-peen sucking on intel boards...

[TheEpicJon]

This is ridiculous, when will Bioware address this issue? If ME2 is gonna be like this, then screw them. I want my money back if they're not fixing this.

The rumor was started by an AMD fanboi.  US anti-trust law would put them out of business in a second if there were even a hint of any real truth in that rumor.

Whether you like it or not, Intel currently controls around 70% of the US market-share for CPUs.  Market-share includes workstations for business, servers (which AMD has failed to ever really break into as a market) and the home user. Even if 50% of home-built systems are AMD, that's still a small margin as compared to Intel overall.

With that said, AMD aquiring ATI has put them in a better place to compete for market-share in the coming decade, and if AMD can pull something better than their current line-up out then they stand to challenge Intel's market dominancy. If (as rumored) the combined GPU/CPU chip is the future, then AMD is far-better placed to lead than Intel is right now.  The only way Intel will be able to compete is to acquire NVidia's technology or develop something comparable.  As history has shown, Intel's graphics hardware have been entirely chipsets and suited to little more than running an office email client and Microsoft Word.

[Sa Seba]

Oh boy....
JironGhrad :
AMD will have the combined CPU/GPU chip 1 year after Intel. Intel has by far better financial backing which they use for r/d and controlling the market. (Yes, the have been found guilty in Europe and will be in US as well. Check out the progress of the law suit)
Intel won't have to compete for a while still, if ever. Nvidia is stuck in the discrete GPU market since Intel and AMD are both producing cheaper (and in mainstream better) chipsets themselves. Intel will have 1 year to revise it's own discrete GPU after it failed this year.

ThrakenSal :
AMD CPU's being known to run hot is something that has been touted about a long long time ago. right now there is nothing hotter that a i7.

Back On Topic: I have to run Dragon Age one one core (Phenom II 720) to avoid random crashes, one of the issues that have been there from the beginning. It sucks when you invest a lot of money into a gaming rig and you can't use it the way it's meant to be.

The only issues I have had running on a 550Bbe oc'd to 3.6 with the onboard HD3300 graphics has been the game graphic freezing up after extended periods of play, its not an overheat issue for me I can jump right in and reload the game and keep playing for another couple hours....its just crappy programming on biowares part

[@JironGhrad  I dont dispute Intels market share, could care less, how they got there is the same way MS got to where it was at, Intel got sued for its bullying tactics in Europe, just lke MS did in the US...now if the moron that preaches Intel is flawless make sure the hippocrit does not have any add in video or a sound card to his system (and only use what is onboard)  then he can brag its flawless.]

For those that think intel is perfect take your head out of MS's anus. I suppose you heard about that AMD won its Lawsuit against Intel? No? then you really are a clueless moron...

How about you be civilized, you're post didn't contribute either to the thread. And if you didn't get the meaning of OC'd then you should reconsider revisiting your "sign".
