I've been reading around that there is a memory leak within the game that causes it to slow down after like 30 minutes of gameplay. I'm experiencing this as well.
 
Everything runs incredibly smoothly for awhile and then all of the sudden I'll notice the load times becoming progressively worse and the frame rate drop quite a bit.
 
Is there anything that can make this better now or is this something that has to be solved by a patch?

What type of system are you running the game on? I remember a similar problem with The Witcher with Vista system's. It is possible that the adjustment to the memory cache that was a work-around for that game could work here, but I don't know. It might be worth a google search on Witcher memory leak, though.

Windows 7

AMD Phenom™ 9600 Quad-Core Processor

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)

VRam 512 MB

2302 MHz

considering how I had the game running for about 6 or 7 hours straight, I wouldn't agree.

[TheGreatXL]

Well then does it have to do with running it on a Quad-Core and not dual? I've read many posts online about people who are having the same problem. I know my computer can handle this game. I've even lowered the settings in game to see if it'd help, and still the same issue.

I would agree with bob, try the witcher forums first. There may be some issue with Windows 7 but I can't imagine Bioware not testing for that, im assuming you already checked to make sure you didn't have some other applications spawning frequently that could in time be causing the slowdown and not the game itself.

I also had mine running for a long time on windows Vista and I haven't had a problem so far. I will be getting windows 7 on monday and will try it then, I'll post here again if I have the same problem, fix it, ect.

I've read around the internet and have found a lot of people complaining about the same problem. Which is why I'm trying to find out what may be causing it.



I have the specs to run this game quite well, so I know it isn't that.

[spsteffen]

On an up-side, if it does turn out to be a memory leak, im sure Bioware will patch it almost immediately

 Based on what I've been seeing for the past 2 days it is AMD systems
that have this issue.
I've noted however a number of posts, but far less, about quad core intel
users having similar issues but to a lesser degree.
My sense of it (thanks to folk that realize they ahave to post details with their complaint, ) is that AMD  and ATI systems are having most of the problems with this game.  It seems Bioware nor EA bothered to test sufficiently on those platforms DESPITe the fact ATI is clearly stamped on the box you buy the game in.  Pretty sad.

 As long as people post techincial details of the systems affected there is a chance of a fix coming from someone.

For a data point the system listed in my sig is having zero issues with the game. So far anyway.

Nope, i've seen people with intels complain about the exact same issue. Might be Quad related?

Yup, I have Intel Quad Core. I am just having  a few random crashes that give me a CTM DragonAge.exe error message though and not the memory issues. But who knows, maybe they are connected.

Possible fix for you guys in this thread, read the first post on the second page.

This should help untill someone releases a patch.

[dawhip]

I am having the same problem, it mostly happens after sorting through my journal/codex for more a few minutes. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

To be clear, the TLB issue mentioned in that post only affects older AMD Phenom CPUs.

[DKRW]

Same Issue here.

AMD Phenom 9500 Quad Core 2.2Ghz
8GB ram
Nvidia 8800GT 512vram
Windows 7 64-bit.

Same issue here, after a while the loading times go mad (1-2 mins longest timed 5 mins)
My PC Specs:
Win 7 x64 (Ultimate)
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 (3,8GHz O'C)
Asus P5Q M/B
Asus GTX 275 896MB
8x1GB 800MHz RAM

game version 1.01a, Toolset not installed, Character Creator installed

Got the Task manager running on my other screen noticed this:
CPU Usage 100%, but no lag of any sort
Game not responding during load.
Anyone had a look at taskmanager? have the same thing?

I'm looking for advice and praying for a possible Bioware fix, their fixed stuff tends to stay fixed

Have you tried making the game use only one core? This works for some people. Minimize game while running. Open the task manager. Under processes right click on daorigins.exe . Select Set Affinity and uncheck CPU 0.

[GhoXen]

The memory leak occurs, as for how long it takes for the memory leak to occur depends on the quality of your system and perhaps some other unknown factor. The most troublesome CPU I've seen on these forums so far seems to be Core2 6600.

I'm running the game with 1.01 patch.
My specs:
Win 7 x64 Ultimate
AMD Phenom II x4 965
ATi HD5870 GDDR5 1GB
2x2GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 1600ghz at CL7

My memory sticks were more expensive than my CPU, but I get the feeling that they were helping me big time against memory leaks. I encountered memory leak only once, and that's after more than 12 hours of playing.

[Thompaine]

I'm getting the same thing, so it's definitely not a quad-core only problem. After about half an hour of playing the load times start to creep up to the ~5 minute range.



P4 3.4 Ghz

8800GT 512

3 GB RAM

WinXP SP3

[r0gue9]

I'm starting to have this issue, as well.

Funny thing is, it was fine last week. I could play for hours, even alt-tabbing out multiple times per session. No issues at all. Load times were very quick.

But I was running the Windows 7 64-bit Release Candidate last week. Now, I'm running Windows 7 64-bit Professional. That's the ONLY thing that's changed. I finally got my copy of Windows 7 in the mail, so I decided to do a clean install. Dragon Age was the first thing I installed after I got the OS up and running. And now I'm having these increasing load times after I've been playing about 30 minutes or so.

Really doesn't make any sense at all.

EDIT: Forgot to post my specs.

AMD Athlon X2 5800+ Black Edition
4 GB RAM

Yep just noticed the memory leak myself im running Windows XP 64 bit with 4 gigs of ram and Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT when i load the game alt tab out to look online Chaceman XP says i have around 1.5 - 2 gigs of ram free or there about, but after an hour or so of playing and tabbing out i noticed i only have about 500 to 1 gig of ram free and that makes the load times between areas take much longer =/ ,it was fine when i 1st started playing so im wondering if path 1.01 made it worse

[Selvec_Darkon]

Well that certaintly explains my load times.

[JarenKross]

Ya, after a while of playing for me the game with start using 1-1.5 GB of ram. Slows down loading times pretty bad.

[Chozo Knight]

I have the same issue myself. Running XP 32-bit with a Core 2 Duo -- after an hour or two load times become unbearable and a restart is required.

[Moyira]

I highly suggest limiting the game to one core.



That can be done via the task manager - processes tab.
