For any of you out there that are having Direct X errors I found a fix that worked for me in BF4. This is for Nvidia cards only.

I know this is counter intuitive but I had Direct X error and CTD on BF4 from day one and this worked for that game and seems to work for this one as I think its a Frostbite engine problem.

Get EVGA PrecisionX or MSI Afterburner. Turn your GPU clock speed and Memory clock speed down by 10 percent. Turn your fan up to max and close down program as Frostbite seems to hate Riva Tuner running in the back ground.

This should help.

I wont know as I cant play this game with the abortion that is the control scheme .

SnQQpy great post on this topic which is sadly just a marketing reply

[Beladrim]

- DAO's story wasn't any better... it really wasn't. Bhelen vs. Harrowmont, Dalish vs. Werewolves, Templar vs. Mage. Build an army and slay the Archdemon. Its nothing to write home about either. At least DAI as the 3rd in the series did a good job of tying in some loose ends from previous games (Flemeth, Morrigan, etc.) 

 

- Generic fetch quests? Google the list of side quests in DAO, which I happened to just finish replaying over a month ago and you'll see that DAO also had its share of fetch quests. This is a FACT. 

 

- I have no idea what you're doing that has your companions getting you killed. This never happened to me in an 85+ hour game. 

 

- Your complaint about being accused as a mass murderer and then becoming Inquisitor is... wow. Everyone who knew anything in the DA world knew these accusations had no evidence behind them. The actual reality is that rifts were causing chaos all around and the Inquisitor was the only one with the power to close them. FYI it only took 10 minutes for Cassandra to rationally figure out that the Inquisitor didn't cause the breach. Its not "WTF"at all. 

 

- Sorry but DAO as a tactical RPG isn't as defining as you think it is. Out of the games you listed only BG and maybe NWN2 actually define the genre. The Drage Age series, if anything, is more about the overarching story and lore, which considering the plot of all 3 games and not just 1, is pretty damn good to me. 

 

Don't even get me started on the list of bugs DAO has, including the ones that haven't been fixed to this day. People complaining about DAI's UI? Am I the only one who played it on a higher resolution and remembers how pathetically small the UI was and how difficult it was to read the size 2 font? 

 

You're correct, but there are two major differences story wise :

 

1) In DA:O you're one of the last grey warden, but you have to crawl your way back up. In inquisition, you become the leader  one hour straight into the story. The fetch quests didn't really bother me in DA:O because you were a nobody who needed to get peoples trust to move forward. As the leader of a vast network of people in inquisition however, fetch quests like : Go get me some blankets for the civilians really seemed silly to me, as you could (and should) delegate these tasks to some of your soldiers rather than loose your time in it. In Origins, you had no other options but to do some dirty work, in inquisition you shouldn't need to do those quests because you already are the leader of an army that can do them for you.

 

2) The ending of DA:O was WAYYYYYY more satisfying than the one we get in DA:I. In fact, most of the effort you hundreds of hours into (bulding and fortifying your castle for exemple) doesn't reeally matter at the end. These are nothing more but time sinks that don't ever come into play in the story. When in DA:O most of what you do does influence the last battle a great deal.

 

You're right, DA:O and DA:I have a rather similar plot, but it's exectution was far better in DA:O

 

But that's just my personal opinion.

This is the video series released showing DA:I using PC KB+M controls.  Just an FYI for those that may have missed.

 

! thanks!  I can see babe doing his bacony loops as we speak.

if it is an actual series, I look forward to watching, but in the little blip they had that was not dialogue based or war table, it wasn't exactly taxing, but their mouselook was great, but it is reasonable to assume that they were demoing it from a single monitor pc setup.
will be looking those up!

[DisturbedJim83]

Anyone know a fix?
 

The game is freezing at the title screen, even after I've connected to the servers, and played the game. The other day after aggravating bouts of freezing (at the title screen), I went into Origin and repaired the game. For a time the game was working fine, but now it is freezing at the title screen again (if I leave it for longer than a minute it does so). I have been able to start the game befor the freeze, but I've also noticed a massive FPS drop.  Moreover, yes, I have tried the same repair option since then.

 

My rig

Graphics: GTX 980 (just upgraded from a 7870, the game never froze when I had the 7870 installed)

Processor: Intel ® Core™2 Quad CPU  Q8400 @ 2.66GHz  2.67.GHz (probably causing some bottle necking, hopefully once I have the cash I will be able to upgrade my cpu to a i5-4690k)

RAM: 8.00 GB

 

Windows 7 Operating System

- I have the latest Nividia drivers

Replace your motherboard and CPU with a z87/z97 motherboard and a i5 4670K/4690K also change the ram to a 16GB Kit(2x8GB)of 1866Mhz or faster DDR3 

[Bethgael]

That's a bad analogy since we don't know how hard it is to patch DAI.

It's actually a decent comparison when you look carefully at how the 2 companies have handled their PR--even taking the actual patches out of the equation, Ubisoft have definitely done much better. As did Blizzard when WoD went wrong with the US/Oceanic launch--and that one wasn't even entirely their fault. Bio's PC issues compared to their statements made before the game launched--no one to blame but themselves, truly. and it's all but radio silence, except for a couple of statements and a lot of blaming everyone else. The game dropped on the 19th November, my time-- sixteen days ago -- and there are people with better than recommended requirements who still can't even get the game to run for reasons that are game-enginey not own-computery.

A vague "we're working on it but we're not telling you how and you cn just bloody wait for whenever we choose to fix it" is understandably infuriating to people who have dropped a fair wad of moolah on the game and, if they went digital, didn't even get a shiny coaster for their dough. Especially when you consider that Bio/EA did a ridiculous job of handling expectations before launch.

For better or worse, BioEA have truly screwed the pooch on this one.

[LordBandu]

In the 2nd place you visit in the 'Here lies the Abyss' quest  the AI is so dumb. 

 

There's a bossfight and during it you have your party plus 2 NPC characters fighting with you. I'm a Mage and the 2 NPC characters, both melee chars, were just following me around like I was their mother.

 

Really took me out of what was supposed to be an epic fight.

Haha!!  

 

Yeah, there are 3 videos from the single play session (I called it a "series").  I think this was played on a single monitor, but not 100% sure on that one.

[Bethgael]

I have this same issue, I only notice it after I have decided to stop for the day but ended up leaving the main menu screen up for a few minutes.  Never seems to freeze when first starting the game although it may just be a case of me not giving it enough time to occur.  Mouse cursor still works although everything else is frozen.

I have this on and off as well--freezing on the main title, but more often on startup (I have to fully exit and restart the game). I've found that it stopped--most of the time--when I disabled the in-game Origin client and turned Origin offline permanently (I also had to turn off Cloud saving, funnily enough, which Origin shouldn't even be attempting if it's offline). It does still happen if I'm silly enough to try to open the game before the Origin client has fully initialised (say, after a hard reboot). 90% of my particular first-screen freezes seem to involve that damned client dataspiking as it tries to do... something.

I thought it had to do with my lappy switching vidcards from its onboard to the high-end on launch but managed to rule that out.

[Bethgael]

and then she tweeted this under #innocent to the rest of Thedas... true story.

Spoiler

there were a bunch of people fighting with you at the first boss who saw you take down the breach, and who also saw the vision you have before that fight. And who see you take down at least 1 of the 2 rifts before that. And all of the people at Haven. Word did spread, and quickly. The only WTFs associated with all of that is why Roderick still believed you guilty--although, to be fair, he didn't see the vision and was partially politically motivated--and why it only took 1 day (according to Varric's statement to you later) to get the whole damned Inquisition off the ground. Although the last one, with the ravens and the knowledge that Cass and Lel had everything in place already (they'd already recruited Cullen in Kirkwall when they'd done with Varric at the end of DA2, timewise, before the Conclave, specifically because they figured they'd need him), less WTF-ey.

[bEVEsthda]

I don't get why some people always nag about - and quarrel about - the "story". Especially not when they do it in this thread.

 

From where comes this strange belief that how "good" - in presumably the sense sophisticated or original - the plot is, has anything to do with how good the game is?   Is this something people pick up when they play FF? 

 

...And seriously, is any  plot conceivable, which cannot be ridiculed or otherwise semantically diminished?  Really?

 

I'll just end this on a revisionist note:  I don't think the plot has much to do with how good a story is.  I don't think how good the story is has much to do with how good the game is.

 

...Now, how suitable , to carry the game, otoh...

And the story should be something you make.

 

(Just saying, cause seems my cup runneth over. I'll be gone and quiet again now.)

[SpecH82]

Nice, glad it was an easy fix.  I changed cables 4 times before I realized the problem for me was the overclocking on a DP cable to begin with.  

Still they need to fix mantle soon enough, And all those bugs that destroys immersion! Other than that it's a great game!

Still doesn't make sense - the analogy is a person was charged will killing 72 children as he was the only one to walk out of a room full of children. After that people see him saving 2 children. Will they stop believing he killed the previous 72???

[Brogan]

Well, I'll give it until the first patch, if the first patch doesn't fix the issues with PC controls, then it's safe to say, pre-ordering anything is the dumbest thing I can possibly do in the future with AAA developers. I should have realised something was up as all the promotional gameplay videos with walking animations was done using a gamepad, I never anticipated the PC version would lack such a basic feature that exists in all other 3D RPG games, it's common sense.

 

It's like me setting up for a conference and forgetting to give everyone water or a pen. Or serving a dish without cutlery. Basic essentials when it comes to the features of your product. The facilities may be great, the food may be excellent, but if the customer can't even enjoy it because they are dehydrated or being forced to eat with their hands, it would be our priority to not only deal with the issue, but also to validate consumer concerns.

 

But right now people are being forced to eat with their hands in DA:I with the current PC controls, and either than one old post saying "we're looking into this", it's just been... silence -.-

 

Fantastic analogy.

 

"This lobster bisque is delicious!", he said while holding up the bowl and drinking it like the milk left after cereal...

In this case, yes, because that's called circumstantial evidence. Needs more back up. However, 

Spoiler

the vision itself makes it clear that: the PC did NOT kill the Divine, or blow up the temple, vis:

1. The Divine called to her/him for help and told them to "warn the others".

 

2. It is clearly another entitity who has the Divine strung up and is calling for her sacrifice.

 

3. The PC clearly entered the room after this event had started and the Divines' and PC's words make it very, very clear that the PC had no freaking idea what was going on.

 

4. The entity that is killing the Divine tells his people to also kill the PC for their interruption.

Witnesses to this Vision include: Leliana and Cassandra (the right and left hands), Varric, Solas and all of the troops Leliana brought with her to the Temple.

 

Then the PC stops the breach from getting worse, almost killing themselves in the process. And they are the only one who can.

On top of that, Cullen and his people (if you take the charge with soldiers option)/ the scouts you save (if you take the mountain pass option) witness you close rifts and save their lives.

Leliana's connected, in most of the possible iterations of the world state. She has the ear/trust of at least Highever and the Guerrins, and also the King of Ferelden, especially if Alistair or the warden are the king/queen--and if Lel was with The warden in DA:O, even Anora partly owes her for her throne. Even if not, Nightingale has serious reach. Fergus Cousland immediately stands for the Herald. Teagan... takes more time. Also, Josephine is an incredibly skilled ambassador with connections everywhere. Cullen is still in contact with Aveline if she stayed in Kirkwall, especially if Hawke was Viscount at the end of DA2.

On top of that, people had seen "the figure" behind the PC as s/he comes out of the Fade already--there was already some rumbling as to why Cass had him/her chained up to start with. And it does take some time to spread. At first, it really is only the people who were in the immediate vicinity who believe it (indeed, the Chantry declares the Herald anathema straight away). Over the course of the game, that trust spreads, depending on how you play it.

In your comparison, it's like the cops found a video that proved the guy didn't kill those kids after all.

Of all the plot WTFs there could be--and there are a couple--this is one that isn't.

In any case, this is offtopic as it doesn't address PC concerns, it's a discussion of story, so I'll stop now.

[Johnsen1972]

After scrolling through some posts from Allen Schumacher, Im getting the feeling that PC user will NOT get a patch that actually fixes the issues... I think that was my last Bioware game since Im not going to buy a console to play your games.

 

Even Angry Joes downgraded DAI for PC to 8/10 just because of the lousy controlls. Instead of trying to understand the issues I get the feeling that Allen only tries to defend his work with pc controlls..... so nothing big will happend....omg that makes me really dissapointed... cant believe it. 

[Aguycalledhaney]

I would have to agree that the official responses on this thread thus far have been extremely alarming. 

[Pinhead]

Allen .......................Fail. I cant believe you think its OK to assume PC players need to use a game pad? Why all the bullshit about its going to be like DAO?

I want my money back.

[Pinhead]

Maybe the Cheat Engine will be the answer.

Looks good and even if not perfect better then what we have.

Just shows how easy it would be for Bioware to fix the control issues.

Liars.

And the silence is deafening.......Time for a Twitter onslaught.  

[shushNMD]

 *snip* Word did spread, and quickly. *snip*

 

I'm having a hard time believing it. It could be just me being picky, but unless they have some magical network of communication mirrors -- that can't happen. And this ain't no Harry Potter.

[SnQQpy]

Haven't played Alien Isolation.

Wolf: New Order is just a great game. It's more or less what you'd expect in a shooter, but man, they really spent time on it. Production values, graphics, voice acting all top notch.

Was one of the more enjoyable surprises of the year for me. I'd definitely recommend it.

 

OK Bro got ya - I'll definitely  install it tomorrow in time for the weekend... unless the patch arrives to solve everything
