If you have an AMD Processor, download AMD Fusion and run it when you play. I play on an AMD Athlon x64 3500 (piece of junk) with 2GB of RAM and for whatever reason this cut my load times in half (if not more). It also lengthened the time between restarts when performance would get bad.

Either way, this is a terrible terrible problem, especially for PC users who have the potential of damaging their hardware or the game not performing on a beast of a machine as it should.

Strikes me as odd that nobody caught this during testing, really has the potential to ruin the game experience for you, especially the first time through

[RaySiilu12]

Yeah my PC gets real hot after playing around 1 hour, when the load times get 1 min+. The CPU is thrashing madly. Hope this game won't get the infamous " PC killer" title xD



At least you AMD users have your fusion, we intel users are still cranked

[Xeyska]

I hope this memory leak gets solved soon. D:

[Apex Sammoth]

This is still something that Bioware has to address eeeming there have been so many report on this. I do have a problem with companies not even addressing issues like this. Bioware it would be nice to hear about anything or status on a patch for this.

[Vortron]

when i try to set affinity to one core it says 'the operation could not be completed access denied'

running win7x64 ultimate cpu is pentium q6600, grfx gainward ati 4870x2



its got to the point where this game is compeltely unplayable now,.

[Tarzoom]

I have



-E8400 3.6 Ghz + 2 Gb DDR2

-Xp pro (sp3)

-8800 GT



After a while playing and zoning, i have too decreasing performances. (Longer loading times, slower framerates).

Besides that, after quitting the games, it takes a while for Xp to reponds, system become slugish.





There is abolutely non reasons to switch to mono core.

The issues comes from code, not hardware.

[cvoeg]

Same problem, I have and AMD quad core. After about 15-30 min loading times become 5-10min and the game slows down while playing even after switching to low graphics. Tried making the make run on one core didnt work, and another forum suggested updating microsoft .net. Tried that didnt work either.

[TreasonWall]

I thought this was just my PC being dodgy, The worst the lag has been for me was the tower quest, 2 second delays on looting & quite a long load. I had played the whole time from the Origin Quest to here so I had played a few hours.

The only diference between your system and mine is the operating system. Woth XP I am not experiencing the problems you are.

[theindigotiger]

just adding another complaint about this.. hope they are working on it. Love this game but having to restart every 30 mins so it can run smoothly blows..

[Chaulssin]

I've got the same problem. Load times increase, CPU usage jumps, RAM gets eaten up and I start lagging.





AMD Phenom 8400 Tri-Core 2.1ghz (yeah, tri-core.)

Vista Home Premium 32 bit

4gig RAM

ATI Radeon HD 3600

There is 100% a memory leak in this game. I lost my entire game (didnt backup) of 25 hours because one time i loaded up and 'load game' was gone. then on checking the folders my character and screenshots were gone. i now have started again but there is something wrong here.

[NebonRevurg]

Same issue here, slowdowns, increasing memory load, load time increasing exponentially.



AMD Athlon 64, 3800+ (2.41 Ghz, single core)

2 GB of ram, Windows XP SP3

SATA 1.5gb/s

7600 GS.



Runs great at startup, but slows down after about an hour.

Win 7 64bit

Got the memory leak from install (Digital deluxe download from EADM), loading times from start are 10secs or less and up to 2-3mins

bump
amd phenom 9600 quad core 2.31ghz
4 gig ram
windows 7 64 bit os

get lag after playing a time i think it has to do with the environment smaller rooms seem to take longer to build up the lag larger rooms ie outside seem to cause lag faster

any chance on getting a post from someone on the bioware / ea tech staff on this? at least an admission that they are aware that some users are having issues?

[Nahurm]

AMD x-2 5000

4gig RAM

1gb 9800GTX

Win 7 64 bit



After about an hour or so load times start to dramatically increase and I start seeing the occasional frame rate issue.

[TallBearNC]

The game is LARGEADDRESS AWARE... meaning it can use up to 3GB of memory on Vista/7 32bit and 4GB of Vista/7 64bit... and if you have tuned xp to allow apps to use 3GB the game will also do that.

So unless you have something like 6-8GB of ram, after a time the game WILL slow down. It's not a leak, but it will just LOAD up 2-4GB of textures and other data (depending on if you have a 32 or 64 bit OS).

I have 12GB of ram so I see no slowdown even after 12hrs of play

Most of you with 64bit OSes only have 4GB of ram, which the game will GLADLY eat up... by the time it hits the 3GB mark, windows is already grinding the swap file pushing uneeded parts of windows to the swap file. This will cause the game to load slower and stutter as there's no more ram left to cache files.

Those of you with 32bit OSes usually can only use 2.5-3.0GB of your ram and with the game taking up to 2-3GB of ram of those system... well.. you will slow down also after about 30+ mins This will cause the game to load slower and stutter as there's no more ram left to cache files.

I have this issue on my laptop. It's win 7x64 with 4GB of ram. What really helped was an 8GB flash drive formatted NTFS, and that really helped the HD cache and made the game stutter FAR FAR less (Note the limit is 4GB for any version of Vista, and 4GB if the drive isn't NTFS or exFAT. Only Win 7x64 can fully use an 8GB flash drive)

nope No problems anymore, runs great, just put details to med. everything else, HIGH, 1680x 1200 YOU need Gamebooster!! it's free and put your virus scan on silent mode and up your fan speed to cool the video card down!!! that's it, Only 3 gigs of ram here, just have to know how to work it guys!!!

[TallBearNC]

The best solution if you lack the ram is to exit the game every 1-2 hrs and come back :/

Gamebooster is crap and a scam. Turning off real time virus scanning does help as each file loaded doesn't need scanning.

Now.. putting details down WORKS.... why? because it uses less texture memory.... why does setting the resolution down help? less texture memory

some people may ask? I have all this texture memory on my video card? Why aren't games using that and why are they gobbling so much ram?? Ahhhh the answer is with DX 9

DX 9 keeps a COPY of ALL stored textures on VRAM in the game's virtual memory space. WHY? Just in case a user alt tabs out. When they do that, the vid cards memory is wiped, and it must be loaded from the copy. Vista supposedly had a DX9 patch that solved this, and it never worked.

This issue is SOLVED in DX 10, 10.1, and 11, a copy is no longer needed as the OS/games all share the same texture vram space. So DX 10+ games actually use less ram Dunno WHY this game wasn't DX 10 or 10.1. It should have been.

I have also just recently started to get this "slowing" down in the game. I have played over 40hrs and i never experienced a hiccup until this weekend when i was playing. It started happening in The Ruins in the Brecilian Forest but sorted itself out not long after. Then it started to happen in Denerim and in the Tavern, places where i had been previously with no slowdown. It's very weird, it was all perfect until this weekend and im wondering now if there is a Memory Leak in the game.

WHY would you run XP on that system? XP can only use about 2.5 to 3GB of your 6GB of RAM. And XP 64bit is crrrrap

That's why there's win 7x64. XP is about to be terminated support wise. I suppose you could keep running it but seeing games will quickly be DX 10.1 and 11, you are going to be forced to upgrade if you wish to continue to game

[androshalforc]

yeah but win 7 is still fairly new not a lot of people have it yet and those that dont are holding out on xp as long as they can and im sure even after it stops being supported thell find 3rd party support packs
