Well, even if it isn't addressed directly to SP... I guess this is a ray of hope that patch 3 still exist ? :ph34r:

 

 

There was never a question that "patch 3" exists and is being worked on and that it will address issues with PC controls. That's not much information, but it is from the developer.

There's another crowd-funded game to check out if Pillars of Eternity interests you:

Isn't this an inXile retake on Planescape?

It's my contention that the entire company of Bioware has been hit with this virulent "banter bug" that we've all been hearing about.  It's the new swine flu or ebola I tell you...

Spiritual successor.  Different setting, different engine, different characters (of course).  But similar themes and storytelling concept.

 

Chris Avellone is on the team for it too.

I like how you focused on my message and didn't get how bad is that Bioware is giving news to MP issue and are saying nothing about SP isssues to us. :P

If Dragon Age had been a console game series ported to PC in the first place I wouldn't be nearly this upset about Inquisition's PC version. KotOR, Jade Empire, they're both my favorite games of all times! But DA:O was a PC game, and even though in DA2 they made some changes to the combat it was a good PC experience. To take that legacy and bury it deep, pretending Inquisition is the best they could've done....... is insulting, honestly. Marketing the game as 'made for PC players, by PC players' just ices that cake.

I like how you think an EA forum admin represents Bioware and missed that I was replying to your comment, not the link - a link which has been posted 100x already in this thread. :P

 

I'd really like to have an active back and forth with the DA:I developers here on this forum, but that's not going to happen. They've declared as much. You may pick up some information from other sources, such as EA community managers, but not from them. 

 

Their policy is silence until the patch is released.

Cant blame them, no matter what they will say it will only ignite the customers even more.  
Honestly the only thing i am waiting for is a better multiplayer experience.
The story on single player is lacking 2 much to make me  really intrested in playing it again ( i done everything one time ), it was decent but not even close to DA:O complex story telling and its many plot 'changes/options' (Its to big for a future 'fix' so nothing to wait for here). 
The tactical camera allmost irelevent once you learn the game, its an action game in its core ( its not necessarliy a bad thing )
The optimize for PC? will be fixed sooner or later, anyhow if you try hard enough even now 99% of the issues can be solved ( worst case at the lose of graphics, which even on lowest setting look great ).
So yeah what exactly is there to wait for single player wise?

The stuttering/freezing/crashes some people are getting. It seems be a bad interaction between the game and certain video cards, possibly to do with over-rendering of objects. But I would imagine it's a patch priority.

I've been vocal about the problems I've been having so I thought I would share my solution. You see the biggest problem is I want to play the damn game. I'm sitting here watching my wife play it on the 360 and it seems awesome. So I tried it on the pc, here are my general specs. 

 

Intel I5 3.2 ghz

16gb DDR3 

Nvid GTX 780 4gb DDR5

WIN7

Seagate HD (Non SSD)

 

For all intense and purposes my machine is a computing god. After all, it is one of the 300 steam machines. I should have no problem playing DAI at any setting. Except, I do. Stuttering, choppy, CTD's, the whole bit. A frame rate that looks like it's hand drawn, I can't win. The thing that gave me the biggest clue was, that no matter what the settings, ULTRA or LOW, it behaved the same way. 

Way back in DOS days when programs wouldn't run you would turn things off till they did. So here is what I did.

 

Disable Origin in game. 

Moved the game to the standard HD off the SSD, error checked.

MSCONFIG. I turned off everything but the AV, Nvid drivers, and Spybot Search and destroy.
Under the MS services I killed everything that didn't seem vital. 

It was an improvement after this, but still not playable. After about 4 hours of game play I started tinkering some more. 

I started killing processes, the big offender seemed to be the Windows Media Sharing Center. I had to kill the process, stop the service, then wait for the process to come back up, and kill it then it stayed dead. I ended any service that seemed unnecessary. 

Run DAI

 

Better but still only with every graphics option turned off. 

Rebooted, killed everything by hand again. 

This time when I started DAI I right clicked on the service and gave it a high priority. 

Bingo. 

 

Running it in ULTRA not so much as a hiccup. I pretty much can't use my computer for anything else like this (internet and all the Google related services are killed) but I can play it. It is a much better game when it isn't stuttering every ten seconds. Still though, to have to do all this to play a game I payed 60 bucks for, I feel like Bioware should pay me some money. 

 

If this helps anyone else, great, if none of it makes sense, and its the equivalent of standing on your head and wishing angels to fix it, well I feel your pain. So far though, I've played it for 12 hours without any trouble. Good luck everyone, I hate to say it,. but the game is kinda worth it, some truly EPIC moments worthy of DA.

My main concern really. Wasteland 2 is a good game, but that Unity crap they've chosen, not so much

Wasn't actually that bad. Overall I love the game so I was ok with bugs here and there couse Wasteland 2 sucked me in like a hoover. Best RPG 2014 IMO.

Unity is getting an upgrade in the near future, not so sure if Obsidian is going to upgrade along with it but Pathea plans to.

This is more like an average / old computer.

I got a i7-4790K overcloaked at 4.4 Ghz
16xDDR3 1600mhz
SSD for my OS, and SSD for my games ( INTEL 600G )

and 2x GTX 970

And my computer is nearly a good one, not a god one. Don't play on Ultra, run it on medium / low.

The talent of the people responsible for this part is wasted at bioware. I hope next dragon age will be done by different studio.

 

This still gives me the goosebumps yet i have no desire to waste any more time ingame.

Ughh..  this is the kind of thing that really gets my adrenaline going.

 

Great music.  It really is.  And it's the kind of thing I would not be able to focus on while struggling with some of the crap I have read about with this game.

How about the broken abilities and gear?  Not that I was really surprised by it, DA:O had the same issues, which were fixed by the modding community.  I don't really expect theses issues to be addressed in DA:I, either.  By BioWare, anyway.

Bull****.

 

As many people have said, a simple 'We're working on it', would actually be enough at this point.

 

And kudos for giving me yet another cause to believe I was right not to start playing yet.  The delay is actually working out best for my schedule, with Witcher 3 being pushed back.

For those with persistent issues, apply the patch 2 hotfix and run the game in windowed mode.

As a backer I can tell you they are committed to the community.  They pushed out the release date because of community feedback and appear to be working quite well with the beta backers.  Its been impressive to watch (this and Star Citizen).  To contrast the POE experience with DA:I makes me ill.  

 

Integrity ... BooWare ... Integrity.  You've lost all of yours with me at this juncture.  

 

A simple "holidays are over, we are hard at work.  Just want to let you know we are working on a patch and it will be ready when we are confident in its quality ... we don't want a repeat of the second patch".  Simple.  But no.  They have such high DISregard for their customers that we're not worthy of a simple update like that.  Heck, just hit up Twitter, Facebook, whatever if that's you're "next generation communication method".  What sickens me is seeing constant GOTY Spam on Twitter and not a single mention of anything substantive.   Primal scream ... ARGH.

 

QFT

 

This is the kind of statement I'd like to see commented on in Darrah's/Laidlaw's twitter feed.

I have 0 complaints about the gameplay, along with D:OS and Banner Saga, this is my most beloved game of the year (and I am a HUGE fallout fan, been for years now :) ) But Unity... many areas look like they would like some overhaul in graphical sense. Some of them look totally unfinished. Yet despite those little inconveniences W2 is a REALLY good game.

 

Unity is getting an upgrade in the near future, not so sure if Obsidian is going to upgrade along with it but Pathea plans to.

 

Even if they upgrade the engine to 5.0, they would still need to remake everything from scratch. There's no magical "Prettify" button installed in the engine.

I preordered DA2 Signature Edition, ME3 Collectors Editions and DAI Deluxe Edition. That was my last games I preordered from Bioware because they didnt fix the PC Version of DAI in TIME.

 

I will probably wait until their games are on sale one or two years after release. Im a deeply dissapointed customer who bought their games since Baldurs Gate. The PC Community has been slapped in the face.

 

Thank you Bioware for releasing a cheap console port on PC. There is NO USE FOR A PATCH NOW. I played the game already and I will remember that for the next game.

Yeah, guess the switch is best made when during alpha stage, not during beta. Too late now considering they are releasing next year.

Not so sure how difficult it truly is, considering Pathea plans to upgrade their alpha with its next version, and speaks of the upgrade so casually - and their game PE already has tons of features implemented.

Sure, but these guys did not seem like "reviewers", more like gamers. This whole review thing smells! How do you get an advance copy to review? Of course IGN, Gamespot, etc, would get copies, but Joe Blow who only posts on Metacritic! Na, don't think so. Smells of something!

If you are talking about DragonKnight's User review of Nov 18, I completely agree it smells!

 

If you read the dissertation, it just bubbles with excitement, enthusiam and praise for the game, calling DA:Origin's tactical game mediocre. "..The removal of  the complexity  and annoyance of old-school RPG....on and on..."

 

This review is written by a pro writer. So, why would a pro writer write such a lengthy positive review, dismissing the hard core RPG gamers?  Here is the link: Read DragonKnight's review
