are there laws against selling a lemon? normally when it says PC and your specs are higher than what is rated, the game should run fine.

Yayayaya i understand not all PC's are the same but come on now.

Wonder if there is anyway to get all my money back on this piece of crap. Its been a coaster since December now.



And to the people saying you cant blame EA they are just a distributor... think again. They have their own say so in the dead line of a game weather it is finished or not. So go ahead and blame away.



LAST GAME I will ever buy from EA/Bioware. I wish the old Bioware was still around... when quality was good.

I've been experiencing this on every patch. Loads go from 15-20 seconds up to 60+ in the course of a few hours. But it also is affecting how long it takes for corpses to spawn loot. Usually it starts with a few seconds of death, than later on it takes nearly a minute for it to go through and show me they have loot. Just restarting the game made the long load times and "loot lag" disappear.



AMD 3800 X2, 2 gb ram, ATI 3870x2, and Win7

no mods, just the DLCs that come with it.



And it's the same problems that others listed. Still not fixed with the 1.03 patch you get with Awakenings.

[danny411]

yep,

I wont buy any more games from this manufacturer. There are way too many bugs. Im not a computer expert who can fix every error that comes up. It really pisses me off too get an error message and then spend three days looking for a fix in some forum.

heres some of the major bugs:

lag:

I have to shut my comp down for an hour and then restart.

particularly bad in the ice dugeon.

other bugs==
anything to do with installing content=really really pisses me off. Took me like 3 days to fix wardens.

sticky bugs. I got stuck on a rock in korc woods area. Had to restart.

Bumping into players and objects is one of my biggest ****** offs. some of the areas are really narrow

Its totally unacceptable to release a game with so many errors and bugs. If you have 50 pages of errors its not good.

The load times issue is mostly fixed now the super long load times after an hour of play have gotten better but it’s not as good as when you first start the game. As for the FPS that will still start to get bad after a hour or so and then you have to save your game. Close out of DA and restart the game this clears out the problem for 1-2 hours. Definitely something going on with possibly Video RAM or number of threads in use or memory leak of some kind. Been going on since release so I'm not sure why these guys can't pinpoint it.

There is no reason my system should have this degradation over time.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 975 @ 3.33GHz
6GB DDR3 1600 Corsair Dominator RAM
2 Nvidia GTX285 cards running SLI
Asus P6T Deluxe Version 2 MB
Soundblaster X-Fi

I mean my system runs a game like Battlefield Bad Company 2 over 100fps most of the time in DX10 why can't it handle a DX9 game for more than a hour or 2 without getting slowed down.

At least the game loads fast enough where its not a big deal to exit and reload your last save.

I think Bioware will be blacklisted by a lot of ppl. What is really pissing a lot of customers off is the silence... this damn silence is going to be their undoing. Big fail for Bioware/EA and I will never buy anything from them again.

I just wonder, why people don't learn from the past. How many good game-studios must go down the drain, before this branche realizes, that there are standards of behaviour, which apply to ANY manufacturer? 

Do they really think, that we, their customers, are nothing but a bunch of spoiled, pre-pubertal kids, not able to compare the service of - let's say -  a car manufacturer, who sends us even birthday and X-mas greetings, with theirs?
I don't need greeting cards, really. All I need, is some feedback from time to time.

To be ignored is really the ultimate insult.

This is why I haven't bough the Expansion. The problems with this game have been going on since release... It really is just a blame game now on whose fault it is rather then them trying to fix the problem. Like I said since the start, CTD, Long Load Times, 100% Processor Issues, DLC Content problems are NOT minor issues and should of been tested more "Thoroughly" Before release. Yet When I came to these forums NOT only did I not get any response for EA/ Bioware but, I get the fanboys telling me to stop complaining. Well, beacuse of the many factors above. I will not buy anymore Bioware Products. Pending Mass Effect 3 since ME2 seems to work on my Xbox 360 as of now.

The last patch was the worst one ever. My pc wasn't slowing down after a couple of hours but now it only takes a normal encounter with the enemies to suffer a massive slowdown. I kid you not! I can't revert back to 1.02a without reinstalling everything again.

my bike was stolen yesterday

[fighter-killer]

I just installed the add-on and the first big problem is - there are no dialogues for me. Characters just truying to interact but no voices, no subtitles or mimics appearing.
I've added my DA:O character. The character that is with me from the beginning of add-on(women) has no name. Just something like "100_women_warden" over her head.
What's a problem can it be, and can anyone help me with it?

Do you have any mods installed? It may be interfering after 1.03 patch, you may want to check out if there are newer versions of your mods for 1.03.

I believe a mass boycott is in order? We don't have to just boycott Bioware - anything EA distributes or develops should be boycotted as well. Protest outside stores, tell the customers that these games have **** production values and are unfinished crapfests that'll only cause agony with their plethora of bugs and poor architecture. If anyone says something along the lines of 'at least the graphics are good' or 'I like football' then you punch them in the face. We have a right to demand maximum devotion to ethics from the developers and a right to shun the brainless consumers from the industry. Or at least we should. Surely a huge drop in sales will convince them to put some effort in their work next time?

You will never get a boycott going online, especially for a game where it works for most.  At least with patch 1.02a for me.  I will buy it if gamespot gives it a high enough rating .

I am, however, not buying awakening due to 1.03

EDIT: Someone linked this thread in another post, didn't realize it was dead 15 days ago oh well....

Game is patched 1.03... no mods... tried every possible suggestion for solving this problem... running at max settings or very low doesn't matter... Come on Guys! Do something! I had no problem running ME2 on best settings but DA:O is eating my PC! For God's sake!!!!!!!!!!!

Eating your PC is an understatement, in fact it forces your PC off the roof because of its massive memory leak, yes Bioware there it goes again the massive memory leak you aren't acknowledging and is firmly dismissed by rabid DA fanboys like ... and ... , well you know the story already. Come on!

[dick_buttkick]

So, I don't know where or how to start... In addition to horrible loading times I encountered two additional errors! The Fps is now getting slower the longer I play (similar to the loading times bug). Wait, it gets even better! Now the game crashes regularly! Every damn hour or so! I do not know if this is off-topic or if there is any other thread but I simply had to let it out before I start randomly shooting people on the street because my game is full of freaking errors!!! I simply cannot believe that the same Bioware that released KOTOR and ME1&2 managed to produce such a crappy product! You really need to change back to what you once were...

[dick_buttkick]

Believe it or not I fixed the fps and my load times are considerably better!



http://www.hardwarec...our-phenom.html



Here's what I did. I have patch 1.03 installed, .net framework 4 beta (not sure exactly which one), running win7 32bit, phenom X3 processor, all other data should be irrelevant since i tweaked my CPU... Hope this helps somebody since Bioware won't or can't... been playing for three hours, no lag or fps rate (highest settings), load times getting a little bit longer (max. 30 seconds)! Cheers!

@dick_buttkick



This plus one other fix that I found somewhere did work very very well. It now works even better than it did before I upgraded to Windows 7, back when all i had was loading time increases that were not too horrible.



The other fix I found, sorry I can't remember where but I think I saw it mentioned on these forums, was to change the Local Security Policy called "Lock pages in memory". It is a security policy found in Administrative Tools that is disabled on all accounts by default. By enabling it and using the program found in your link, everything is good now............... Finally.

Thanx for the tip. I'll try! Well, since I managed to find a fix for this problem another one appeared... Now the game constantly crashes... probably due to the patch 1.03, since it did not crash earlier. I've been cursing the Circle of the Magi since the game crashed there about 7 times...

[xphoenix99]

I won't say my game doesn't crash, it does, but it is very rare. I have had these crashes with every patch however. I wish I had tried, or had the patience to go backward and try now, both of these fixes individually to see if it is the combination or just one. However, since I need both anyway for different reasons outside of this game, I probably won't bother. I hope some other people who have these loading time and HUGE lag issues try these things and see if we got this pos problem fixed.

[Marshal_Nukem]

Odd... aside from the loading time taking a tad longer then usual after hours of gameplay, i don't have much issues... but then again Im runnin windows XP lol I saw one of you guys running Windows 7 ...yuck. I built my PC for gaming and there is no FPS drop, no issues looting corpes... my only gripe is the slowing down of loading with hours of gameplay. No big deal tho, u stop the game and restart it and that fixes the issue... not a solid fix, but it does it till they fix it. I read alot of complaints and EPIC FAIL and I wont buy anything from this company again but perhaps its ur system and not the game that has an over abundant list of bugs. How could it be the game when I rarely stumble into issues (and Im a beta tester, I know what to look for)... well anyhoo, to each is own i guess. I fo rone, love this game and been playing it none stop since i bought it..and I so cant wait for the DLC of Darkspawn hehe... Ima slice Allistairs head off wooo

Yeah, of course, it may be system related but my PC meets the recommended requirements. Aw, now come on, not to buy anything again from the cmp would be a little bit drastic, wouldn't it? This is the first game from Bioware that I had problems with, and I played everything from KOTOR over NWN to ME2, crash and bug free... And the OS, well, I would really like if somebody would start to make open-source versions of games like DA:O for linux but that is just wishful thinking on my part...

[dick_buttkick]

Forgot to add something, the game runs a little bit more stable now, it isn't crashing all the time. It still does crash but not that often.

BTW, I'm running absolutely no patch on the game, so I think the patch caused the constant crashing... cruel irony...

[xphoenix99]

A lot of people are complaining about patch 1.03 adding more problems than it fixed. ATM I don't seem to be having their problems. I seem to be all cured. Even the "Pickpocketing" bug that supposedly does not give you items doesn't seem to affect me. Sooo.... dunno, tis just weird.
