FWIW: I had a really good experience with EA customer support re: activating my games. My wife & I bought 2 copies, one for each of our computers. But first we were going to see if one was all we would need. I installed on mine after creating an Origin account and then tried to install on hers using my Origin account & the CD key. It installed but we couldn't play simultaneously. When we realized we'd need both CD keys, I used the second key on her PC. She then decided she wanted her own Origin account, so I created one for her, reinstalled the game but now had no CD key that would work as both keys were showing up on my account.

 

I called, waited less than 2 minutes on hold, explained to the guy that I had two copies of the game and needed one to be put on the other account. I was expecting a huge hassle but he fixed it in just a couple of minutes without any problems.

 

I have my complaints with Bioware/EA right now, but their phone service isn't one of them.

AGREED! ORIGIN and EA customer service are awesome. Now only if they could get those guys to do the same at Bioware. This page wouldn't even exist if they had the level of customer care that they do at Origin.

As evidently shown by the superb way of communcation coming from Bioware concerning the issues people are having for three months, yes.

 

What a load of prawn-eating sandwich tripe.

EXACTLY. (However, I never had that type of sandwich before.)

True; ignoring the customers is a good way to lose business. Good thing that Bioware is not doing that, and have the reviews, receipts, and awards to indicate that. Plus, such shouting has happened before, and DAI received the most successful launch to date.

Personally have been a fan since ca.1999, and Bioware has proven their trust to me repeatedly thru quality, security, and service. While not all has been perfection, nothing is. But Bioware has gained my loyalty and support; few others have met this standard, for me anyway.

You're delusional and you're in the wrong thread. I don't like attacking anyone personally, but you're an aggravating troll.

I disagree. Don't believe this in any way explains why we have a 500 page PC community concerns thread.

Oh ok.

 

I disagree with that. 

 

Mario, Lucasarts adventuregames, Diablo and FPS shooters (CoDs) is the reason why we have this game and the 500 pages. Bioware is not going to change the game, they wouldn't even though the were posting here every day. 

 

The point is: this is the reason for the game, which is the reason for the complains - because the game will not change. Ever.

if this game had the Diablo M+KB controls and ability to map any skill to any key, I'd be perfectly happy. Sure Tac-cam would still be a mess, but at least I could move and pick up [Edited] properly.

@Postem - You're a bit off base, in my opinion.  Soooo....here is where I tell you where you were wrong AND to make me feel superior and better for MYself.  Just kidding.  I agree with the EA angle, they do tend to buy up studios, milk them for cash and ruin them.  I just think that (for PC gamers) the real problem with the playability of the game was because of the initial console(s) focus.

 

Im not sure if console demographics plays a way in the way the content was planned. Again considering Unity, if you play by KB+M the game is confortable.

Not doing their job on the PC controls feels more like a shoddy job to me. As you said, its clear that consoles came first on priorities, but it seen that PC controls were through on the very brink of the final weeks of rushing.

 

For a product being developed for 4 years, its strange if they came to pc controls only on end and found out the UI and controls were not up to par, but commited anyway because the release date was kicking the door. We will not never know the true, but i cant really believe QA tested those controls for KB+M and said "okay its good".

No, no, no...  psssst!

 

C'mere, while she h'aint lookin'...  listen kids, maybe Elhanan is right.  No, no, bear with me here.  Maybe she is. 

 

We can't match the sheer perfection she exudes with every post, nor the unprecedented clarity with which she sees and knows all.  She's even sussed out how many of us are just disgruntled liars and EA-hatin' malcontents (that smell of anime-fueled farts and stale brony soda gives it away) with no actual issues. 

 

We have to accept that few mortals - and certainly none of the smelly unwashed fedora-wearing knuckle-draggers in this thread - can match such peerlessnessness and overarching intellectual insight.  I mean, she pretty much tells us that every time she deigns to post.

 

Can't you feel the benevolence that flows just from her presence down in the sewer among us?  It's like being able to afford maybe ..two! extra! cans of sterno for our boxes all at once!

 

I hate to say it, but fighting it is just...  i dunno.  Look, I think all we can do now is...  yeah.  All we can do now is STOP.  That's right.  There's nothing wrong with our copies of DA:I.  The game is not inadequate for us, WE are inadequate for this game.  US.  With our inadequacies.  This game are is inadequate for it us/we be.

 

We need to offer devoted slop-tonguey praise to our EA overlords, that's all.  It's all we can do.

 

"You'll pay and you'll slog and you'll STFU and you'll like it!" as EA's motto reminds us. Look you to our Superior thus:  this is obviously the winning strategy utilized to experience her peerless parleys of paragonic 835000 hours of absolute trouble-free (and no doubt astonishing) play and fantastically erudite virtue what with her sentence-putting together expertise.  She do talked good.  We all gots ta listen.  We be humble and acknowledge her am obvious superness to us'n. 

 

Get this through your heads:

 

None of our concerns are legit in the face of ONE PERSON NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS.  This existential perfection that exists for Elhanan is thus true for all.  As above, so below, don't'cha know.

 

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG.  How many times does she and "Bioware" have to tell us?

 

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG.  Repeat it, fellow ingrates, repeat it and live it.  Ye shall be cleansed.

 

NOTHING.

 

WRONG.

Depending on your rig, your drivers and control preferences... the game is playable. Bioware is still issuing patches and hot fixes. I would take the time to call Origin. Before you do that though, perform a clean boot. Make sure all of your drivers (including audio) are matching what Bioware developers said to use. If you're using an ATI video card, be sure to use the BETA driver.

No.  No.  This is just...no.  This crap is utterly ridiculous.  No one, and I mean NO ONE should have to jump through so many hoops to play a game that still may not be playable.  No!  Bad!  Do not give into these cheesy cop out, half baked solutions.  This is Bioware's screw up.  Do not give them an out.  Make them fix their game.  We should not have to pay for their screw ups.  (If the game was moddable, I mean like DAO where modders were able to work on it, I would not be so vocal.  But being it isn't, Bioware fixes it.  And fixes it right.)  No one person should have to butcher their system, roll back drivers, use four to forty different types of fixes to get one half assed done game to work.  Just no.

 

Been out for a week and i find this. I was only trying to help. No mean to get anyone into a chessy cop out half baked solution, cause it wasn´t. Did i say, in any case, it was A solution? You are angry at Bioware, i get it. Don´t ulneash your anger on others. The fact that my 2 cents here coulld be **** doesn´t mean i´m encouraging people to "butcher" their system. Really? Butcher? I wasn´t saying that we should all get naked and dance around a bonfire while we eat our own pc components and sacrifice Mark Darrah with a goat skinned knife. I know you all people are angry as i am, no need to react like that. Like i said, my 2,3, 4, 1 cents there, not a commitment to save all our games. Next time you quote me or adress to me, do it politely, i was only trying to help.

I had this occur to me as well. If I remember, all I did was to login in Origins to activate it again .. I think I had to re-enter the KEY as well.

 

Yes, F** DRM....

 

Really don´t know what happend here. And the key, i really can´t remember where i put it, since all my pc is messed up now. Need to search for it. I undersrand, avoid piracy, but, really, CDProject Red will sell The witcher 3 like hotcakes not beacause they have no DRM, but because they are really sure of themselves and what they are giving to people, and cause of that they will not allow a DRM.

True, took me an entire day to me but now i talked to the tech support, they made me do lot of stuff (clear registry, uninstall, cache, acccounts, change password, and woah, nothing worked so they gave me a new copy of the game. I´m downloading now, i guess i won´t have that problem again (knocking on wood). Maybe had to do with the Microsoft accounts or something, i´m still confused about the cause of the problem.

@Elhanan - re: "Reviews. receipts and awards to indicate that"


I own a business.  I can pay someone to vote me best whatever in my industry.  I have enough accolades/awards but I don't go on social media sites and yell about it - I'm not that obtuse and self conscience.  I want to please my customer, otherwise I'm out of business.  I like what I do.  If something is insufficient, I fix it or make amends.  I don't ignore the problem, hoping that it (and my customers) will go away.  Do you see what Boooware/EA are doing?  Are you still a "fan"?

I celebrate that you can enjoy the game with keyboard + mouse, even if it is, as you say, with a few problems. Good for you. I know people that can't tell the difference between a $1, chemically synthesized wine, and a $30 handcrafted masterpiece. That doesn't mean that other people with finer taste can't feel the difference and appreciate the nuances a in well done job.

 

The people this game is intended for in RPG category. I myself wasted 70 hours on this game to find something that at least justifies buying it and played just for the sake of this being a DA game. I dont think i can tell anything that has not been told before in this giga thread, its clear you will only attract people like Elhanan instead of devs to protect this piece of **** excuse of a PC game and this just makes me more angry, there is no reason to stick around.

 

Little spoiler: nothing special after planting all banners and collecting shards or the other open-world "activities" making you immersed. 10 Origin achievement point.

@ sutree - My best guess is due to DRM issues and changing motherboards (IP change).  The anti-piracy measures are understandable from a conglomerate company such as Electronic Arts, but YOU have to jump through consumer hoops to even get this POS game installed on your "new" system.  It's the actual game that I have a problem with...

I have (had, meh, and probably will have) problems with the "actual game". So nothing changes. Was just thinking "Some days ago i was trying to help people with the same problems that i have, looking for answers, feedback... Is actually anoying." Some EA god looked at me and said "You don´t need to do all this things to get rid of the problems you are having, there´s an easier way to do that. YOU DON´T PLAY THE ****** GAME. NOW STOP WHINING AND GO TO YOUR CORNER." 

 

Yeah, EA is the good shepherd. 

 

Ok, back to earth, yeah FOE, i guess it had to do with that. Is really hard to understand how the DRM works? For real, i have no idea how that **** works, is like hidden magic for me (YA IMMA N IGNORANT PEASANT)

I'm not saying this to be a jerk, the game definitely has it's fair share of issues, but some of the complaints I see in this thread are due to people having unrealistic expectations of their sub par rigs. Let's face it - a bad game is a bad game but even a good game can become awful on a system that isn't capable of running it at it's full potential.

I was too, up until DA2.  Then I started to question.  Then SWTOR, which I still play BTW, but when it came out, it was a steaming pile of merde(It is pretty good now.)  Then MA3, it was a good game, but the ending left me dumbstruck.  They regained a little bit of traction with me with the Citadel DLC.  Well worth it, and the quality that I expect from BioWare.  Then this steaming pile of horsetookey.  After DA3?  They became BozoWare as far as I am concerned.  I am HOPING that they fix it, but I also and well aware of the old saying about crapping in one hand and wishing in the other... SO...  This is the last title from them I am likely to purchase before MUCH research, and certainly not as a preorder.

Its a valid point, it is also a valid point that many people have systems that far exceed the recommended specs, and it runs like a car with square tires and a gastank full of peanut butter.

just had to chime in to say the performance of this game is horrendous   for what you see(graphic quality),  believe it not assassins creed unity gives me a more smooth and better experience, this game constantly; maxes out cpu and gpu, for no good reason,   im running on a i5 4690k  8 gb of ram and an r9270x, , for a last gen title its pretty pathetic
