well i'm having the same problem (of course) with my 8600. i've got the newest driver, i'm not overheating. I have no idea what I can do to fix this. Also, i'm having another problem I cant seem to find help for. My stone prisoner DLC downloads, and then extracts and time outs on installation. cleared the cache and tried again numerous times, no idea whats going on.

8800GT, same again barkeep.



The classic symptoms; textures from all over the damn place stretch from objects and creatures in the environment, connect to the HUD interface and other textures and warp as you twist the camera, forming a giant mass of coloured ribbons.



.. Except it's not overheating. I've checked the temperatures, I've cleaned out my case and fans carefully and seen the 50 degrees drop to 40, it runs wonderfully cool. British Winter has its uses.



Very irritating.

My computer crashed recently forcing me to reformat and install everything from the install disks. Before this happened i didn't have a single problem with the game, reinstalled and now i get that graphic bug everyone else here has along with random crashes. any idea what i might be missing?

There's a new driver release for 8 series video cards (196.21). Haven't tested if this fixes the problem yet, but I thought you all might want to know.

hey guys might want to check your cabling just to be sure also when uninstalling video drivers idownloadad a program called driver sweeper .Anyway after uninstall drivers put in safe mode run driver sweeper ,this works for nvidia and ati cards also for my monitoring i use msi afterburner this free program can monitor almost anything nvidia card related both in game and out

[tommy5761]

There is one thing you can try when it starts the graphic glitches : check to see if any of your party members including yourself have any sustained abilities running and if so stop them .I`m having some graphic problems myself but this temp. fixes my problem until they activate the sustained abilities again then it starts all over again

The new driver doesn't fix this issue. I installed it recently and I'm still having the same problem I had before (my card is a GeForce 8600 GTS).

[Veemon]

So curently there is no permanent solution to fix this?
I was going to buy the game and the expansion, but since I have a nvidia 8600 GT I would rather  wait untill they fix this issue

0k I was having the flickering graphics problem after changing monitors and running the game in 1900x1200, I changed back to 1280 x 1024 and I am having no problem until now, might be something with the 16x10 res.

I just started having this problem. I'll be playing and it will completely lock up and i'll get weird blocky graphical glitches and the problem seems to have no pattern whatsoever. I really hope they fix this.

[tfpitoni]

I think the problem is with the wide screen resolution on 16:10 and 16:9.

This problem started when I changed the regular screen for the wide one. As I said before, I changed back to 1280 X 1024 4:3 and I could play for 6 hours without any graphical problem. and I turned the game off, 6 hours is enough.

I think Nvidia and Bioware are in cahoots - their evil, secret plan is to get all of us to buy new video cards.



Dastardly.



<--- 8800 and graphical errors abound after a few hours.

I have the same issue on ASUS 9800GT. My solution is downgrade nvidia drivers to version 180.48. After i did that - everything work fine Try it.

[Belasco]

Oddly I had this issue and thought I had it sorted out by disabling the PhysX GPU acceleration on my trusty ol' 8600 GT. Here I am months later going back to try a new path through the OC and suddenly I've got the same wretched graphics issues again. Interestingly they don't appear for me in the expansion. It has both me and my very computer savvy husband totally baffled. I'm starting to worry that a new video card won't even be the solution.

[Psoplayer89]

So I've affectionately dubbed this the "acid trip" glitch, but enough about that.
As with everyone else I have the same problems. Crazy graphics after even light play usually starting after a cut scene or conversation. Was there ever an actual fix to this? I'm downgrading my driver now to try that but I hoped that maybe they finally fixed this.

Win Xp Sp3
8600 GTS had most current driver downgrading to 185.85 now

Has anyone encountered a solution to this yet? I've posted a description of my own problem at:

AFAIK, if you are still nursing an old 8600 of some kind along, you are just going to see more and more of this from the Drivers, and since you've gotten all of the possible use out of it by now (four years for a Medium card is more or less an eternity), what's wrong with upgrading?

(If you are using a laptop, even more reason to move onward from it.)

[Moondoggie]

That new Nvidia driver HATES the old cards until you can get a new one i'd roll back drivers to the last one which worked fine.

Thanks for the suggestion.  In my case it IS a new card... a PNY GTS 450 w/ 1GB RAM... came on the market a few months ago.  Can anyone recommend an older driver which might work with it?  I am currently using ver.  260.99. 

Here's my post from another thread:

Greetings,

I upgraded to a PNY GTS 450 (1GB) Nvidia graphics
card at the end of October and almost wept for joy at the improvement I
saw when playing DA:O.  I was finally able to enjoy the game at full
graphics at a truly a gorgeous frame rate.  I've been using the lastest
NVidia driver from the start - version 260.99.

Then, about a week
ago, things started to go wacky.  Random spiky polygon things would
erupt from characters, usually on the faces or the hands.  It would
usually appear in a cut-scene or during a conversation, and it will
persist through the game unless I alt-tab to the desktop or reload from a
saved game.  A very MINOR example is below:

http://i1029.photobu...ten_eyeprob.jpg

It
has since gotten far worse.  It use to happen after an hour or so of
gameplay.  Now it happens almost immediately after load-up.  I decided
in this playthrough to do the Circle Tower last... and the game has gone
bat-crap crazy.  The only thing I can think of is that most of my
characters are very high level and have a lot of active spells and power
ups going... Cleansing Aura and the like.

I have made sure that
all of the NVidia control panel settings are back to default.  I've also
tried turning off AA, and lowering texture quality and res (I usually
play at 1680 x 1050, but I've gone much lower, with no real effect).

It
also does not seem to be a temperature issue-- my GPU temp never gets
above 55 C and my core CPU temp appears to be about the same.  I even
went so far as to uninstall the GPU driver last night and re-install
it... no effect.

Anyway, the game is quickly becoming unplayable.  Is there some simple setting I am missing?  Any advice would be appreciated.

Windows 7 x64 w/ 6GB DDR2 PC6400 Ram (800Mhz)
AMD Athlon X2 6000+ (Dual core, 3.0Ghz)
ASUS M3N78 Mobo
PNY GTS 450 GPU w/ 1GB DDR5 (Driver Ver. 260.99)

All of that points to overheating. All game playing enthusiasts should include some sort of thermal monitoring in their normal pre-game loads, to avoid this sort of thing. The case needs to be set up for good air flow, both in and out {never put a gaming PC into a cabinet without its own ventilation (the cabinet's) to give the machine access to plenty of cool air, and a good way to exhaust the heated air as well}, and all of the vents, all of the heat sinks, all need to be kept clean.

I can understand all of that, but according to every bit of monitoring I've used, Speedfan, GPU-Z, etc, the card only gets to about 50 C.  Same for the CPU.  I've been running the case with plenty of ventilation and even have had the side cover off of it for a while now... before the problem started.  And no, there's been no overclocking on my system... I don't have the intestinal fortitude for it.

Here's a thought:  Do you think this could be the result of some disparity (for lack of a better word) between my CPU/Mobo (which is a 2+ year old Athlon X2 6000+) and this new Fermi card?  I've noticed that Dragon Age always maxes out both cores of the CPU... and it seems to do a lot of 3D processing directly on the CPU.  In other words, is the older CPU now having trouble keeping up with the new graphics card?

I'm using an X2 5200 and an X2 6000 in machines here. One is with a Geforce, the other with a Radeon. There's no difference in the graphics images, although neither of mine are terribly new (9800 GT, HD 4850). Everything that nVIDIA has been releasing for the high end ever since the 8800 always runs pretty damn hot compared to AMD's GPUs since about the same time (the HD 3870 I had before the HD 4850 does run somewhat hot).

I use Speedfan to track temps, and adjust fans to cool things more, although it doesn't handle GPU fans, fir which I use ATI Tray Tools for Radeons, and Rivatuner for Geforces. With the ATI Tray Tools program, I can put both the FPS and the GPU temp in the corner of the game screen when I use an AMD graphics card.

Hi guys just thought i would say something. I am playing this game on my 4 year old P4 pc (yes you heard right, lol). I have a 8600gt card installed with 178.24 drivers & windows XP and i am having no issues, believe it or not. I usually only play a couple of hours as i don't have time for more. I don't even have dual core!! Playing the game on medium settings as well.

[kright0n]

i'm using an Nvidia 560 gt and getting all the problems mentioned.........you'd think they'd have fixed this by now (it's 2011 guys).  Oh and my machine is fairly new...amd quad with 8 gb ddr3 and 1gb video card....should be blowing this game out of the water.

I fixed my problem long ago.  Post your specs and we can troubleshoot if you'd like.
