Ok, you really think I'm too stupid to update the drivers ?

 

Short of that, of course I complain. I waited for years to switch PCs, and the very very very first modern game I try out tells ''sucker, we got you again. You will never be able to play modern games on the brick you just purchased. ''

 

How would you react when realizing two weeks after purchasing a computer you learned that you would be strapped with a piece of garbage for seven more years ? I'm desperate and I'm so angry that I had no sleep the previous night.

 

1600 in the drain. For nothing. Nothing. nothing, nothing.

 

To be perfectly honest I think you're acting more immature than like an idiot. The problem isn't that you're complaining, it's that you're not taking any advice from the people offering it who actually know a great deal about computers and instead are just insulting them because apparently being nice is bad or something.

 

About 6 years ago I built a PC for my friend where PSU burned out about a week later. You know what we did? We took it back to the store where I got the parts from, they checked it out to confirm that yes, it was burnt out, and then replaced it for us all in under an hour. The new PSU has worked great ever since then and nobody got angry or lost sleep over it. Maybe slightly annoyed that it happened, but that's about it.

 

It's only $1600 down the drain because you're giving up so easily. I would say that I hope all this ranting is making you feel better because that's the only positive thing that would ever come out of it, but it sounds like it's only making things worse for you. If you keep it up, the BSN will just disregard you as well. Nobody wants to help somebody who is raging at them, especially when it's not even our fault that your PC is having those problems.

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.

Have you tried playing in windowed mode?  Last night I kept crashing near the lake where you recruit Blackwall.  I tried lowering my settings and that did not seem to work.  Then I opened the game in windowed mode and everything went smoothly.  I then popped up my settings back up to the highest on everything and went borderless windowed mode and still have no issues.  Aesthetically, bordered window mode is just the same as full screen with no drop in image quality.

Try everything, giving up is for consolers

I had such a wonderful experience with consumer service over the years that I follow a very simple rule

 

As anything is hold against me when I try to get the computer repaired, if the game crash and it says ''hardware issue'' on the dialog box, the game is out-because computer tech think that you are stupid enough to believe them when they say that you burned your graphical card by playing games.

 

The worse thing, it's working on me. I live in terror of hardware issues : they lied to me so much and refused so much to repair stuff that whenever I fire up a game remotely demanding, I don't play it for more than 1 hour or 2 per day to avoid damaging the card. Because I know that if the card fail, I'm screwed : they will not repair it, they will not replace it and I will have to cough 300 more.

[StingingVelvet]

Had my first crash earlier after 22 hours of play. Not a bad ratio there.

[FKA_Servo]

Trying very hard to give you the benefit of the doubt here - what brand is your video card? Is it EVGA? Because they're champs.

 

In the event that there actually is something wrong with your card (I truly, truly doubt it - you still haven't answered the question of whether you've tried updating your drivers this time, for this game), and it's an EVGA card, you can pop it in the mail and you'll have a new replacement in less than a week. I've RMAd EVGA cards, I've gotten them on the phone at 1 in the morning, my experience has always been flawless. I promise you, my experience in this regard is not unique.

 

At the end of the day, you vaguely described your specs, which seem more than reasonable for the game, then spent every other post crying about spending $1600 on a brick that you'll never be able to use.

 

What you haven't done is given the tiniest impression that you're willing to take on the tiniest amount of due diligence to try to fix the problem yourself, unlike (probably) thousands of other players on this forum and elsewhere. You've just railed impotently on the forums and irritated people who are quite happy to try to help you fix your issues.

[Angedechu]

Yes, that's really helping

 

You must have a superior intellect,

 

Are you getting kicks at telling people ''dumb rat, we have computer that work''. Are you feeling better ?

 

Are you LOLin enough at the thought of ''ah ah, dumb  rat, you spent hundred of dollars and played the game for 20 minutes''

 

I'm not touching this game ever again-you have your fun now ? Or you need to repeat 500 times : ''I play it on a 100 dollars computer, rat. No matter how much money you will spent rat, you will never be able to play games, rat''

 

Oh, man, I would like to be as smart as you and know those enchanted and magical PC stores that actually respect guarantees or accept to repair computers that they did not sold. Or those places that sell those fabled ''500 dollars computers than run everyhing on ultra at 1200 fps''.

[Angedechu]

What due diligence I could do ? I updated the drivers, and now WOW is not working. That's a wonderful advice.

 

The next advice will be what ? Make me lose Office ?

I didn't say anything remotely like this. No one in this thread called you a rat, or a pig, or anything.

GTX 760 MSI TF OC and an I5-4570K

 

I get 18 FPS on high and like 30 FPS on lowest settings.

 

I  honestly think I should be able to run it on high and get like 40-50 at least....

 

Depends on the build quality, manufacturer of various parts, drivers and a whole host of other stuff.  The GTX760 is quite a weak card.  Are you running porn in the background?

[Azucuache]

You do realize you're acting like a child now? These people spend time trying to help you. They don't have to do it, they just want to. And all you do is to insult them when they give you an advice you don't like. So you've already reinstalled the drives - OK! But there's a polite way to say it. Instead, you twist people's words and rant on.

 

If you're so unhappy with advices here, get up and go find help where you live where the communication would be better and where you could also show this person what's wrong with it, how it happens, how it looks like, what specs your comp has and so on and stop wasting time of all these people here.

[Angedechu]

Hey, I spent 70$ on a game that is sitting now on a shelf. I can at least complain.

[Angedechu]

Of course of course, the GTX 760 is ''too weak for the game'' (NB : despite being in the recommanded specs rang). That said, I wonder what kind of cards you get in your magical computers that are better for 500 bucks, since it was litteraly the most powerful card the store had available. Best Buy.

The GTX 760 is more than sufficient. We bought that very card specifically for this game, and it runs it flawlessly on high settings.

 

I don't know what the canadian exchange rate is, but that card costs roughly $200 usd. I also don't know what sort of premium they might charge for it in a pre-built system. Up to you to determine whether you got ripped off.

 

If this is a pre-built computer that you bought at Best Buy two weeks ago, I'm quite certain you're still under the manufacturer's warranty at the very least.

760s run about $250-$300 at the store where I buy my parts.

 

Most manufacturer's warranties here last either 1 or 2 years for computer parts, although in this case I don't think they would do much about it because there's nothing physically wrong with his computer. It's just not playing nice with Inquisition for whatever reason.

$209 on Amazon, which is where we got it (I wish I had a decent store near me to buy parts! All I have is a Best Buy. I bought a PSU from them years ago, before I actually started seriously building myself. Didn't end well). Exchange rate puts that at about $234 can. So I guess they did get ripped off on that one.

 

I don't think there's anything wrong with their hardware either. But it also seems pointless to advise the OP (not the first time, I think) to do a clean install of windows to remove all the built in junk.

Hi

 

I did have several crashes in the intro, which caused me to have to start over from scratch again.

It may be that these were caused by the fact that I'm running Windows 10 TP, so I can't blame it on the game.

 

I'm running in Ultra and getting good framerates even in Stereo 3D, which I've only had turned on for a short time.

I'll experiment with that later.

 

I have an i7 3.6 Ghz processor, Nvidia 680 GTX video card and 32 Gigabytes of high speed ram.

 

Other than the crashes in the intro everything it running fine.

It hasn't crashed since I finished the video, and looks very smooth.

I'm currently playing on low-mid range depending on the areas. No stuttering so far (using a Radeon HD 7670m on an i5 dell inspiron laptop). A friend of mine has the same graphic card on an i7 machine and also playing on low-mid range, so I assume 7670 passes the low setting for now.

 

I have seen only one crash so far and it was during the connection to the servers on my first launch. By that time, the game was set to be played on Intel 4000 graphics and hasn't been switched to high performance setting so that might be the case.

 

I wanted to wait before putting together a new computer, how would the next gen games look on PCs and now I have some ideas. I think I will do it before the release of The Witcher. DAI will be more stable by then, I hope.

I have GTX 660 and I5-2500k 3.3 GHz (factory clock), and I run it on High/Ultra mix (with Tasselation on medium admitedly) at average 40 fps with some drops at high NPCs areas (which ar quite rare, and there's no combat going on, so it doesn't bother me all that much), so either you're running some programs in background, have ancient drivers, or you put MSAA on. 

 

I'm really having trouble believing that people have problems running this game on PCs that cost more than twice as much as mine. 

[Angedechu]

What kind of ''built it junk'' could I have ? The PC is two weeks old. I installed CIV, Europa Universalis IV, WOW, Heartstone and Office.

[DukeH]

I'm running a homebuilt i5 3570k 3.4 ghz, 8mb RAM, AMD Radeon 7870.  Built the rig last year without paying for the cutting edge premium.  Running on High/Ultra with no crashes.  I'll have to check the framerate but it's been good enough that I haven't felt the need to check.

Now you're really overreacting, honestly. No one is trying to condescend to you, and from what I see many people are trying to assist you.

 

Getting over emotional and being abrasive with others isn't going to help anything. 

[NextGenCowboy]

Sounds like your PC is definitely possessed by a Rage demon.

[Angedechu]

If the game don't run  AT ALL on the spec listed as ''recommanded'', that's not ''rage'' to complain.

[DukeMcFishy]

Mate the game is a bit heavy on the hardware at the moment. I know it wont help you now but hopefully Bioware will put out some patches that will make the game run better.

 

Tweak the graphical settings until you get a reasonable fps. Even TotalBiscuit, who has a very beefy rig with two 980's needs to turn stuff down in order to run it reasonably stable at 60 fps. That isn't normal.

 

My rig is less powerful than yours and I can play the game just fine with some graphical tweaks. Sure it drops down in FPS a bit at crowded towns, but it is very playable. Have a bit of patience, and meanwhile tweak those graphical settings. 

 

Edit: O, one piece of advice. My game crashed like 3 times before I was out of the tutorial as well. How I fixed that was: Go into you Origin client -> right click on the game in your Origin list -> Game propperties -> and check Disable Origin in Game for the game. No more crashes for me after that.
