I dont know whats going on, but my game is suddenly so crappy, i cannot play it.. ALL cinematics are now stuttering, and freezing.. Vocals and audio, even banter is choppy, and double speaking.. Im getting constant 1-3 second delays in everything, even while controlling my character.. If i pan the camera, the framerate drops to nothing, or just delays for a moment.. 
 
I started a new game, and nothing has changed, except that im playing this one with a controller.. Thats it.. I plugged in my controller! Now it was "beautiful" before, but it was playable.. This is terrible, and constant!

I went into device manager and turned off my XBOX controller. The framerate jumped for a bit, but like you, still struggling with cutscenes, CTDs and gltiches with audio. For example, I would kill a bear and it would roar as I'm looting it. Cutscenes are worse now because of the FPS drop. It's like a 70s kung-fu movie. The lip-syncing is off. Not game breaking, but annoying. What's game-breaking for me are the crashes. I move into a conversation with someone like Mother Giselle and it crashes. Restart Inquisition and reload the last save (about four minutes later, ridiculous.) and I can move on again. Start a new conversation with Corporal Vale and the man is whispering to me. I know he's not whispering to me, but with my volume turned up all the way, he is still whispering while ambient noises can drown him out. I use the first ocularum found and CTD. Restart, reload and talk to Master Dennit... CTD. (We're still in beta by the way. This game wasn't polished or even remotely ready for the port to PC. No game is perfect at launch, but the developers silence and we're being blamed despite GOTY makes me think they're washing their hands of us.)

One question, if I may.

 

What part of 'having fun' includes standing around for 30 minutes hoping someone will say something?

 

Okay, two questions:

 

Who in the stupid end of hell thought that was an acceptable alternative to the thing just firing up like it did in DA2?

 

Right, three questions:

 

Who at EA thought this was an acceptable answer to the problem in the first place?

Apparently they're trying to avoid anything related to DA2, including the things they did right.

Great, now I don't have any banter at all.. What the fu** are you doing BW/EA!?! After more than two months game is still broken, or maybe I should say ''game is now even more broken'' than it was back in November.. Why I even purchased this piece of crap?

Did a complete uninstall and re-download. Guess what, nothing. Banter is just as dead, awkward audio bugs, like delayed audio on monsters(ie. after they are dead they start making noises). I am getting progressively exasperated with nothing working. I swear, this one thing has ruined the game for me. I can literally not enjoy the game for a single minute, because this is ALL i am thinking about while in game. 

 

At least my internet isn't capped. Imagine how much of salty rub in the wound that would've been.....

Played for a decent while today, hour and a half or so, and just got the one banter. It was in the western approach but in the still ruins so not sure if that even counts? I just don't get it, more sad than angry, that this game is great in so many other ways but I may as well be running around by myself like in skyrim...

Well they were inspired by skyrim so I guess they got what they wanted :(

Yup, no banter over here either. I'm on my second run through, 170hrs of gameplay, and never had this issue until their latest "fix."

Okay, so... I spent the weekend testing this and I think the problem only affects pre-patch 3 playthroughs/save games. I started three new Inquisitors over the weekend and got them all up to around level 10-11 so I've spent a lot of time running around the Hinterlands and the Storm Coast. I've been getting plenty of banter, no problems. I've had banter fire directly before and directly after battles. I've even heard banter and environmental comments I hadn't heard previously. But if I go back to my pre-patch playthroughs? Silent as the grave.

 

I'm going to go stick this in the relevant thread on the tech support forum but I thought I'd throw it up here as well.

If anyone can confirm that pre-patch saves work after a clean uninstall, that would be great. I'm reinstalling my game now and banter had seemed to be okay until this patch hit. I did rerole a new character too but didn't get far with her yet

Don't bother. I did a full uninstall/reinstall and my pre-patch saves were still silent. That's why I went and did the tests with new Inquisitors over the weekend.

Blegh!!!! I'm so far along with this inquisitor but I don't wanna finish him if he's a loss! Ugh...I might just charge through the main mission then and call him quits...thanks for confirming!

Okay I was not having banters before. And then a very, very few. Along with a bit of music.

 

I heard abt the new patch and gave it a try with a new PT and all that. At first I had logged in to DA servers. I just thought I might need to do that for the patch to connect...or  whatever.

 

Anyway, I was getting no dialogue. Heartbroken. So then I decided to log back out and start again, not signed in to the DA servers--and boom! I've had the same ppl with me IB, Solas and Sera--as a stabby rogue. Omg! There is so much there.

 

I've really been enjoying the convo between IB and Solas--the debates abt the Qun and all. And IB and Sera just finished a lil banter abt Sera stealing his kills. Lol.

 

This makes me happy. Almost like Single Tear happy. I've never heard these interactions before today, and I've put in-- collectively-- abt 300-400 hours.

 

And yet I'm afraid I'm gonna do something to screw it all up. This also makes me wanna punch the FB3 engine in the throat. Yeah, its got nice graphics, but so do other engines. I'm not convinced at this point that FrostBite 3 is suited for the types of games BW makes.

 

Of all the things, it had to mess with my banter.

 

 

*grumbles abt hand me down engines. And EA sitting up talking abt, "just let out the hem, BW. Just let out the hem. It'll fit."

Just read on the tech help section that it might take some time for the game to reset to bantering again after patch 3? Like we gotta play for a few hours in silence before it kicks in full throttle. Has this happened to anyone? ...should I just...be patient?!?

It's really frustrating. Had another 6+ hours run yesterday and I have to say: I really want my pre patch 3 banter back (I never thought I'd say that). Finished the Western Approach and the Plains in that time and only had 8 conversations. Two of them in the WA and most of the rest when I finished all the quests in the EP and started to explore the map a little bit more. I think the problem is, that these two maps have a lot of heavy-combat zones.

 

I'll try the Emerald Graves tonight. I've avoided some party combinations, so I can test the banter in the EG. Always had a good amount of it there.

 

Btw. It makes absolutly no difference for me, if I log into the server or not. Or if I used origins or outcome.

 

Did I mention that I'm frustrated?

There's a Patch 3?  I realize that I've been banned for a week or so, but this is still news to me.  It's not surprising that nothing had been fixed, however.  That's par for the course here.  One step forward and two steps backwards off of the cliff is what this patching process has become.  If it's not broken, then let's break it.  Gotta love Booware.....they can't get out of their own way... 

Talk about poor communication, their own in game characters can't talk to each other.

Maybe it's tied to the DRM?  So many people mention that they break the server connection with EAyeeech, and then they have dialogue wit party members.  Something to consider.  Cut the cord when you're playing a SP game.

Yeah, many people fixed some bugs going offline or using Outcome. The thing IS working, but something breaks it when you are in the game. Everytime i loaded a game, had 1 banter. Then, because i walk, fight, save or breath, boom, banter gone for good.

I´ll try w/o DRM when the installation is done and say if it works.

*Sigh* I just can't, you know. This is it for me.

 

After everything, all the waiting and trying all the absolute bullshit workarounds. After I re-downloaded the game at least a dozen times since launch(and thats 26 GB PER attempt, mind you!), i just give up. I've tried everything. Origin in Online and Offline mode, logged in and not into the DA servers, clearing quest logs and codex entries, mounting and dismounting. Starting completely new playthrough and having them broken from the very beginning, regardless of anything that the patchnotes say is fixed. I am just tired of trying. I want to play the game, I want to enjoy it, but honestly, tell me how am I supposed to. The one bug i can't overlook, the one thing that makes the blasted franchise what it is, and it's broken beyond bloody repair. And not for just a couple people! Half the community has had this from the VERY beginning of this game. And what of it? Nothing, of course. Can't be replicated. "Try mixing your party up" - Oh yeah, brilliant advice, thanks, i could've just as easily asked my magic 8 ball for an advice.

Thick, dripping sarcasm aside, I am done. As much as i love the franchise, Inquisition is unplayable for me because of this banter bug. I refuse to get frustrated anymore than this. So as of now i basically stop playing until God know what manages to fix this game. 

Well done, bet that was the intended effect of the design decisions from the very beginning.
