Same thing happened with mass effect... I couldn't play it and noone who tried to fix it ever managed to fix the problem except by replacing hardware.



If ur game doesn't work, buy a new pc... Anyways that's what I did to play mass effect.

I have this issues and I am running a HD 3870. I believe the issue may lie in the Nvidia Physix install portion. I can run any current game at max settings without any issues. DA:O hardly taxes my system graphically as some other games do. Regardless, it has been quite frustrating. The game is awesome otherwise but the minute I get to the cut scene at the bridge of Ostragar, I go to a black display and the only thing I can do from ther eis reboot my machine.

[Tamanous73]

Update to my original post .. computer only rebooted twice, but the screen does go blank and the HD is running fine. Can't see why would be any overheating issue, since I can play the game through Castle Cousland perfectly fine, it only seems to have an issue in Ostagar.

Similar issues on a system with two 3870s in Crossfire.

However, rolling back the drivers seemed to solve the crashing issue for a couple hours, until the BSOD made an unexpected appearance, and now my computer won't even boot (neither normally nor from my Vista disk).

I'm baffled as to how it could have had such an effect, but even after I repair my system (which has never had any problems in its year and a half, and runs Crysis for hours at a time without a hitch), I doubt I'll be trying to run this again until patches or drivers make themselves available.

At least I now have motivation to install Windows 7 though, since I'll be at it anyway!

same problem with GT8800, Vista 32bit

[SkiTheMadRussian]

Well my crashes seem to happen randomly, my screen just shuts off. The computer becomes unresponsive and I have to do a hard reset. Played through the castle fine, started Ostagar and the wilds and happens frequently now.



Is it sad when you wish for CTDs? At least you can restart the game right away, not the whole pc.



I have 2 HD 4850s Vista 32

Maybe I'll be lucky and there will be a fix for this by the time I get home from work this evening.

I played for about 3 hours with no problem at all, saved game and came back 2 hours later and all of a sudden I can't play for about 5 seconds and my monitor says it has no signal and I have to reboot.

I can still hear the game running in the background but I lose the picture.I know that it sounds like Graphics card, motherboard or Psu but I can play any other game without any problems and never had problems before that.Happening in the Ostagar.Running a 3870 also.

I have been running stress tests, checking temps, switching out ram, rolling back drivers(Already had newest ones) and everything else I can think of but my comp passes everything just fine until I reload the game.

I am for the most part having the exact same problem.
Played for about 3 hours as well, stopped, installed the red dragon armor and the other free one. Tried to log in to see if it was there and a nice reboot a few seconds later. Also running a HD3870 (OC edition) latest drivers for everything.

Some help from the techs at bioware or EA would be nice.

edit:
i am also in Ostagar, as are many of the people having trouble.

crazy how many people are having the same issue and have the same card or atleast a ATI/AMD vid card . obviously seems to be the root of the problem , i hope it gets fixed soon .

[Blackthornes]

I'm experiencing a similar issue, but instead of freezing I get drastically reduced framerates once crossing the bridge at Ostagar and nearing Duncan.

[Kathrad]

Sure hope they find a fix soon.Loved the game for the 3 hours that I was able to play.

little update

played again for about 45 mins with a dale elf this time got just past the first major section and it dropped out again to the low power mode screen. Worked perfectly the entire time before that.

I am loving what i have been able to play, and want to keep going. Opening areas seem to work fine with the noble dwarf (until Ostogar) and the dale elf (until the Pyre scene).



Tested the card on Crysis, ran it perfectly, no crashes, same with AoC on max.

[slinkytwf]

Same issues. In Ostagar. Video drops signal. Happening around the Priest area.



1920 x 1200 Widescreen.

ATI 3850. Catalyst 9.9 drivers.

Quad-core CPU.



Slowly tamping down graphics quality to see if it helps, but it's only taking it 5-10 seconds to crash.

[SkiTheMadRussian]

Would be great to hear a reply from Devs to just confirm that they're looking at this type of "black screen" crash. I'm not looking for an ETA on the fix, but that this is recognized as a current issue

so i guess nothing yet as far as a fix or a work around ...something ...

[Kathrad]

Have spent hours searching various forums related to DAO and no one seems to have found a fix yet.



The tech section here just says it's for self help and to use EA tech support for issues, which isn't a good thing.Be nice if Bioware would at least say they are looking into it.

I did have one lockup where my screen went black and I had to hard reset my PC. This was about 10-15 minutes into the game. I had two ATI HD 4850 video cards in Crossfire. I physically removed one from my PC and just played on one for about 4 hours and never had another problem. Although to be fair I think there might be something wrong with one of my video cards as sometimes my PC will do the same thing in other games when in Crossfire mode.



As long as I can play with the one video card and the PC doesn't crash anymore I will be happy. So far the game is great.



My specs are: AMD Phenom 4850, 2-ATI HD 4850's in Crossfire, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 Professional x64.

[slinkytwf]

I emailed EA tech support with a detailed write up of the issue. Given the complete hardware crash, it's impossible to tell what is happening and if it is related to other issues like hardware interoperability. Getting up the nerve to try again a few more times until I find a video setting that won't give me a black screen of death.

man , i know its only the first day but i really want to play this game ...spent 60+ dollars on it and its just sitting here .

[Felliren]

 Add me to the list with the same problem:

Q6600
ATI 3870
Vista x32

In my case, I got all the way to the quartermaster in Ostagar before I had the first "monitor off" hard crash.

Now, I cannot even load the saved game without the same crash occurring.  This was with both the 8.12 ATI drivers (I was way behind) and 9.10 driver set.

[flem1]

Have you ATI card folks been running with vsync?

[buffbc]

I had this once last night and nothing since...I have also had this once or twice in other games...ATI 3870 here as well. I am 99.9% sure it is the card that causes the problem.

[imbinary]

I have the same issue...random crashes sometimes just DA:o crashes sometimes BSOD and computer restart.

Win 7 64bit
nvidia gt260
