Again, is there any details on what was the faamous memory leak all about?



I am really curious as to find out what they did!

[lcbeers2]

Hrm, I wish there was a way to tell what version I'm playing while in the game. I could have sworn there was a difference when I clicked the different files. You're probably correct though, I'll look to see if I have multiple installs somewhere. Sorry if I caused confusion. My lag is gone now though with 1.3.

[Darkannex]

One visual change with 1.3 is the way the character pane displays. The skill points are now allocated on the left side of the screen-instead of the right.

hmm direct2drive still has not released this patch for digital copies

[Jasemen]

Well, I guess I wont be getting the expansion. I just did a full reinstall of the game and loaded this new wonderfull 1.03 patch. Only after about 30min in the dwf campain its back to its old wonderfull sefl of taking about 2 - 10 min to load a house. All I have to say is this to bioware.

EPIC FAIL !

i think it said major problem of it still be a few cases were some peoople still get it which means they need to continue to work on it i guess

[Stephen1981]

or that would be my opinion of it

[d4fF]

well... I must say that loadtimes are definitively gone... 10 sec ftw.



But I'm not satisfied.. because the lag has returned with a vengeance! sigh...

[Gen.Jake]

I really can´t understand why I can´t download the 1.03 patch from the official link. The mass effect 2 patch for example or any other I can download without problem. My download just freezes or sometimes dont even start, but this happens only with this patch.

Can we get any tech info on what major issue you fixed for us techy types?. Also, does this mean that there are still minor issues we can expect to give us this exact same problem?



I haven't opened Dragon Age in some time now because of this Load times issue. I'd probably be very disappointed if this patch fixed nothing.

If you really think about it, game developers would really like to see the PC for games die a death. It is becoming increasingly harder to actually get a game to run for a PC. In fact PC gaming is slowly becoming a "dead parrot". I have recently bought a PS3 due to the fact that I am so fed up with the PC game roundabout, that is owning a PC now takes all the fun out of gaming.

This PC version of Dragon Age has had major problems with loading faults etc, and has, up to now  had no feedback from either Bioware or EA. No one knows if this issue will be fixed either before or after the  "Awakening".  - It is not just Dragon Age although DA has more than enough issues, more and more PC games are slowly becoming harder to get to play, a patch for this, a patch for that: do you have the right GFX card? do you have a top notch processor? do you have this? do you have that? it has become a minefield.

Is it any wonder that Bioware hasn't answered the questions, they just don't know, or can't be arsed with PC people. The PC as a Gaming medium is slowly becoming a nightmare for game devs and owners. Has the PC as a gaming platform, seen it's last sunrise? I personally think it has.

This however doesn't excuse Bioware for their non involvement in these forums.

Bull ****.  People have been saying that PC gaming is dying since the dawn of men.  Seriously.

The loading is definitely gone, but the lag is still as strong as ever in that fps plummets to single digits about 15 seconds into big battles, but never before or after. *sigh*

[Stephen1981]

maybe that will be the next issue fixed i hope but then again still hearing reports of long load time issues so we will have to see

[Stephen1981]

still after this patch i mean

[MelodicCure]

Looks like 1.03 patch is supposed to fix this. Yay, getting it now.

[IbanSarawak]

initially when you skip dialog option, your load time will increase. the patch doesn't eliminate the load time entirely but some improvement at certain area. looks like i need to do some test run again and see what other problem occur. i believe the developer have appropriate software to detect memory leak.

monitor the memory usage at the task manager console and you can see the game still using memory above 1.3gb. compare it to mass effect 2, just use memory below 1gb.

You cannot directly compare the memory use of two different games which run on two totally different game engines.  1.3 GB of memory is not all that much for a game when you consider that most systems these days ship with 4 GB as standard.

still can't patch 1.03 and loading times are freezing - not getting slower - harromont's estate and werewolf lair game feezes in loading screen

[-_. LuRcH]

Still having load time isues, but can go play through longer before its noticable.. took 4 minutes 37 seconds to load from Denerim Marketplace to the Arl of Redcliffs estate : ( restarting the game clears it all up, tried it in full screen, and windowed mode, all the same as before.. still getting horrible lag when not loading after intense gameplay, battles, cutscenes or what have you.

[EarlZ088]

I am not suffering from the extended loading times but I've been monitoring the memory usage on Dragon Age, if there is indeed a memory leak then I should be seeing something like close to 1.8GB of memory usage on the .exe file alone.. and im not seeing that either, I've also tried pulling out some memory sticks on my system ( 8GB ) to bring it down to 2GB and disabled 2 of my cores ( yes disabled not just affinity removal ) and I cant seem to recreate this said longer loading times. I usually play the game for extended periods of time ~6-8hrs atleast.

[AzureSky769]

I patched to 1.3 and my cpu is still running at 100%, and I've actually noticed it's eating up more of my RAM than before. Although I only played for about two hours I didn't see increasing load times. But, what's the deal with the RAM usage and CPU rate so high? I thought this would be addressed.

[Gen.Jake]

I finally tested this patch... and I have to say the long load times are much better, however the game, as other people already mentioned above, is more lagged during gameplay. My computer specs are above recommended so this is a problem of this patch and the game is now crashing way more than before.

Ohh and remember one thing I said the long load times are BETTER and not that the problem is solved because the problem is still there.

Been messing around with this one for the last 4 hours.

So far all of my DLC is fine and Shale says "hi" to everyone. Within the first 2 hours everything still loads fast and the gameplay is smooth as silk (as it was before)...BUT...after the 2 hour mark is when the game goes downhill...and quicker this time around.

After the 2 hour mark I could see the increase in load times starting back up, as well as the lag also increasing...significantly (which I did not have before). After the 3 hour mark the game was unplayable due to the lag (the long loading times I could live with...barely...but the lag was horrid). I can run MMOs on full graphics and not have the amount of lag I was experiencing.

So, I went into the Video options and disabled everything or dropped it down to as far as it would go...and the game not only ran worse, it now looked worse due to everything being lowered.

I can literally..."literally"...play Borderlands for 4 days straight (18 hours a day) and never have a single hiccup ( yes, I have no life =p ).

So for me, I'll just play in small spurts for a couple of hours and turn the game off.

In a nutshell:

All of my DLC content is fine
First 2 hours the game runs flawlessly
After 2+ hours the load times increase as well as lag
After 3+ hours the load times increased further as well as a huge spike in lag
After 4 hours the game is unplayable due to further increasing load times and lag

back to work bioware goes it looks like since it only solved it for a few people

[MelodicCure]

Load times are better but now I get some lag as I spin the screen around my character. Lag I never had before. Doh!!!!
