Those specs of this overpriced piece of Junk are still way, way, way above minimum requirement for the game

 

Remember, I just want to run it. I would run it in ''medium'' if it just WORKED.

[Angedechu]

Joe, some people, me included, have very limited technical skills and are aware of it. (Incidentally, that 1600 without the monitor...). Yes, this is a prebuilt HP pc. I spent MONTHS searching for it, that was the only remotely good one that could be repaired in my hometown. (I have the joy of living in a 800 000 city in which the big stores REFUSE to repair computers they don't sold-so I have to purchase their products or I can end up with a 1600 $ brick)

It amazes me how people judge how good a PC should run based on how much money they spent.

 

OP, please tell me you didn't buy a pre-built machine or a name brand computer like HP, Compaq, Dell/Alienware, etc?

 

Did you build your machine using quality parts?

 

For $1600 I can build a machine right now with:

 

i7-4790K 4.0ghz quad core

16gb of G.Skill Sniper ram

Samsung 840 EVO 500 GB SSD drive

MSI GTX 970 4GB video card

Windows 8.1

Asus 24" monitor

Corsair 750W PSU

Corsair Air 540 high air-flow case

 

With this rig I could probably run this game at Ultra and get 60-70fps pretty easily.  Probably even closer to 80fps.

 

Unlikely. My 780 struggles on Ultra a fair bit. 40-60fps is about right.

 

Frame rates are helped by new drivers and also disabling Origin in-game, strangely enough. The game does need some updates, it doesn't run as well as BF4 does, for example.

And if you didn't properly tweak settings and drivers you'd still be having the probs the OP is having.  Then again, it sounds like you wouldn't have that issue =)

I have been building my own computers for over a decade. I have a GTX Titan and I can play other recent titles on the highest settings with no issues. I have installed the latest Nvidia drivers correctly (driver sweeper, safe mode). I have a fresh Windows install, about two weeks old, so there's virtually nothing other than Dragon Age ever running.

On Ultra settings (minus MSAA which only nets me about 6 FPS), I get 25 - 30 FPS in the Hinterlands. On Low (e.g., looks like a Nintendo 64 game), I manage to pull an amazing still not 60 FPS.

At what point can you still absolve Bioware of any fault?

 

Who knows. I built a new PC for Dragon Age - SSD, i7 4770, GTX 770 2gb, 16gb Ram. I'm running on ultra at 35-40 fps. The game sings on high.

[Angedechu]

What else I'm supposed to tweak ? I even tried to run it in low settings, and it still crash.

[Maverick827]

The point in which many are playing without issue.
 
Bioware didn't concoct a conspiracy to overthrow the gaming experience of  [/size]Maverick827 & [/size] [/size]Angedechu.[/size]

Strawman.

It's possible for it to be Bioware's fault without it being malicious, you know.

GTX 970 is better than a 780 my friend.  Just saying.  I know a guy that has two 970's in SLI and was running on ultra settings with AA turned off and he was getting about 90'ish fps in the game in some areas.

To be fair, you still haven't told us whether you've updated your nvidia drivers, which fixes the problem for many people.

 

It's also worth pointing out that it you're less than technically inclined, you could have gotten 4 or 5 Xbox Ones or PS4s for the price of that PC - and the game would run beautifully and very stable.

[Munktor]

Tweaking outside of the game.

 

The funny thing is if you just came to the board and asked for advice and help, posted your specs and detailed your problem - people would likely provide advice.

[Jpnole]

You mean one of those custom built PC that have no warranty and that stores will refuse to repair ?

No I understand if you can't build your own that's fine. I'm just saying you didn't get $1600 worth of PC. By the way a PC built from parts does have a warranty... the parts each have their own. My last two PCs I built never had a part fail. One is 7 years old and one is 4. I am playing DAI on the 4 year old one just fine so far.

[Munktor]

Strawman.

Lol, that's not a strawman argument.

 

This is simple logic.  It is SOMETHING with the OP's setup or settings.  Otherwise, the issue would be more widespread.

[joejccva71]

What else I'm supposed to tweak ? I even tried to run it in low settings, and it still crash.

 

That's definitely not an issue with the game then.  You most likely have driver issues.  Can you give us your exact specs?  Motherboard, video card specs?

[aaarcher86]

People have given you a multitude of suggestions, including someone who is running DAI on your exact same set up.

Are you not reading these forums? There's dozens of threads and hundreds of posts about lower-than-expected performance on some configurations. There's a 20+ page performance thread, a 15 page "Low FPS" thread on the technical forums.

I use a gtx 660 I need to use msi afterburner and downclock my core clock to min just to run most games. Even dragon age origins crashes and how old is that?

[Shapeshifter777]

I soldiered on with the same PC for six or seven years. I changed two weeks ago, partly for Warlords of Draenor, partly for Dragon Age Inquisition (well, as you might guess, I looked for a big game that would be released in the coming weeks, it was either this or Assassin Creed IV...)

 

I paid for, like, 1600 canadian for the admitedly overpriced PC that is there, that should have been able to run a 2014 game. I mean, it's 1600 dollars. How much you are supposed to pay to play PC games ? 3000?

 

 

DAI made the rig crash three times before I was out of the intro. As I can't afforc to buy a new PC to play it¸(or that I live in terror that constant crash damage a machine I waited seven years to purchase), congrats Bioware : the game is uninstalled. 

 

20 minutes. 1600 dolars. That's a new record.

I built a computer hoping to run this game in ultra and honestly it's struggling so bad on medium to high settings. Everything's updated so I have a feeling the game isn't that we'll optimised. :/

Not sure if they could patch some sort of fix for this or what but something should be done. I get good frames somewhere and then when I turn around or something it starts lagging. I'm playing on the auto settings now and it's still lagging. Something's really up.

 

Try lowering the resolution.  Mine ran like chit until i dropped down to 1400 x 900. Also, disable anti aliasing.

I really, really despise the marketing of "gaming" PC manufacturers. They sell subpar systems at ridiculous markups, slap on some colored lights and paint it black.

IMO, prebuilt is ok (not ideal, but ok) for gaming systems marketed as midrange. Most of those will handle games just fine. But prebuilt PC manufacturers will hype up the differences to infinity and back because they know where the profit margin is.

"High-end" prebuilts are highway robbery. To get something that competes with a $1k-$2k custom rig requires spending $3k-$5k on a prebuilt machine. "Overpriced" doesn't even begin to cover it. :/

Intel Core i7-4770k

 

12 gigs of ram (ddr3)

 

Ge Gorce GTX 760

 

Yes, yes, keep saying you have computers that run the game with the third of those specs. That's helping. I would give 3000 ****** bucks to get ONE time a computer that can run a game of the year without making me suffocate with rage.  (once again, with only high specs, and not caring about FPS...just wanting it to work...)

 

 

But no. Its asking too much. I'm back to 2004 Warlords of Draenor and Civ 5. I only paid 1600, I'm too cheap.

 

I sure this doesn't matter much at the moment unless it finally started to work for you as I post this, but your PC should run it just fine. The issue with PC's that people complain about (MAC users and console players) is that there are way too many moving parts that can cause problems. Case in point, with PC gaming you have to worry about a crap load of things like, CPU, GPU, RAM, Drivers, background programs... and then on top of that understanding the code words for all the hardware. So to be an efficient PC gamer, you have to have basic knowledge of all these things or you won't be able to properly troubleshoot your own issues. 

 

No offense to you at all whatsoever, so please don't take offense, but I think this is a prime example of that. I am in no way saying you have done some things to rectify your problems as I am sure you have, but with those specs, I am sure I could get that game working on your PC. Maybe it's my tech support background, but either way, just know that after BioWare release some patches, I think you will be playing the game on high settings, if not most on Ultra. 

 

I guess it's a waiting game. 

[joejccva71]

Also I should point out that just because you can run WoW on your new machine without problems doesn't mean it will run on DA:I.   To be quite clear, WoW could run on a Commodore 64.  It's one of the reasons why it has so much love and so many people.  The game can run on anything.  DA:I isn't as lenient I'm afraid.

 

But, with that being said, people can run this game on the PC without issues so I'm still willing to bet it's a driver problem.  It could also be something related to some weird configuration with some of your pre-loaded software which HP loves to put on their computers.

[Munktor]

Performance, not "isn't working".

 

Discussing the level of technical performance on specific configurations has merit and is worthwhile.

 

Saying Bioware can't make a game that works because I spent 1600 CAN on a PC is not.

[DanishViking]

buy a console instead everyone wins !

[Lady Luminous]

Oh, so a 1600 $ PC is not enough

 

I'm supposed to buy a new one ?

 

I'm sorry to say love, but price really doesn't mean anything. Just because a computer is expensive doesn't mean it has the parts you need.

 

You'll get more help if you're able to post your machine specs.

When I bought the orginal baldurs gate back in the 90s I knew nothing about computers. I had a PC with the original pentium processor and 16 Megs of ram. It took me a new motherboard and CPU with 128 megs of ram slapped onto my store bought manufactured pc I practically welded the thing on lol everything was proprietary. When I finally got the damn game to work.


Since them I have been rather spoiled I bought the witcher 2 a few weeks before da I came out on steam and installed it and it worked flawlessly without playing with any settings that very same day.

I have an older comp

17 860 6 gigs of ram and a gtx 660 video card

I upgraded to 12 gigs of ram for this game 70$

Launch day comes I am playing having a great time everything is running smooth then bam the direct x crash.

Reinstalled dXgi from inquisition folder c+++ played with settings googled other peoples configs with similar cards googled the error found some people that had my same card had the same issues with bf4 under locked their cards to fix it.

It took me about a day but I finally got my system stable. It's part of the joys of being a PC gamer. If I wanted to throw money at the problem I would have bought an xbox or ps4.

It sucks but we really are spoiled now days compared to back then.
