I was going to buy DA3 today on PC, but The Escapist lead me to the patch notes, which seemed to say that the conversations, quests, plot states, combat, UI, camera, controls, follower/enemy AI and path finding, exploits, radar, search, animations, game mode bugs, stat reporting, control & UI, hitching, improved Mantle performance (whatever that is), graphical glitches, various crashes, freezes, audio/voice glitches...

 

...would be something of a problem. Is it not as bad as it sounds, or should I wait a month or two and redo the old ones? Also, why does the EA guide imply that I shouldn't use old saves? I logged into the Keep, but it had three duplicated characters, and none of the finished ones I wanted to use, but I figured it was superfluous smartphone app tie-in nonsense to be ignored. Is it necessary? Because that sounds a bit silly.

 

 

EDIT: Never mind about the Keep bit, found the FAQ. Ticking many boxes sounds like a intense start to start a game.

If your getting this on the PC then I say wait until the next patch because today's patch broke the PC version  :^/

[devSin]

The controls are awful, the interface is shameful, and the graphics are currently broken (thanks to today's patch).

Other than that, I haven't noticed any severe issues. The game crashes sometimes, and there are some plot bugs, but it's perfectly playable (or it was, until the patch). It seems to be optimized well enough, though their cutscene system could probably use more work (it's usually the only think that stutters for me).

Some people report stability issues or other problems that prevent them from playing, so it's not impossible that your experience could be worse, but I think it's simply a question of how comfortable you are in waiting. They'll add content (through DLC and patches) in the future, so obviously the game will be better then than it is today, but you still should be able to enjoy it just fine as soon as they fix the current graphics bug.

Depends on your system

 

I was running DAI on a 2010 Toshiba Qosmio Laptop, didn't meet rec specs, and other than super long load times, the wonky PC controls (whic remapping and getting used to took care of, still not perfect, but easily playable), and really low framerates (20 fps on medium)......I didn't have any major issues.

 

Got a new laptop with a GTX 980M 8 GB, and it runs fine, some cut scene stutter, but runs at a pretty solid 57 fps on Ultra. Still wonky PC controls. Had the party banter issue, I reinstalled the game, seems to have taken care of it. Had a minor issue with a character not recognizing an import flag from the Keep.

 

Really haven't had even a fraction of the issues other have had on either of my two systems.

 

there's only two things in this patch I was hoping for/noticed/irritated me...the AI companion pathfinding (especially in Storm Coast caves) and zoom out on the scroll btton on the mouse.

But it's narrated!

I've been fortunate enough not to encounter many of the issues that others have encountered.

I'm looking forward to seeing some interface improvements they have planned, but I finished my first play through last night using mouse and keyboard all the way and exploring about 95% of the world

Same here. I haven't really run into issues others claim to and I suspect there are plenty of people who haven't but of course those who problems are definitely going to be more vocal given the circumstances.

 

I did however get the shiny hair post patch so it seems they fixed that issue on the low setting and broke it on the ultra setting.  I'm sure they'll fix it. Eventually. and hopefully not break something else in the process

 

 Overall though I greatly enjoyed the game, put in nearly 200 hours and don't regret getting it,

 

FWIW, I played on the PC with a controller and was fine with the UI and controls. We do have that option now whereas we didn't with the past games.

I didn't have much bugs before today's patch, but there was lots of other weird design issues that annoyed me. I'd suggest waiting before getting it tho, the patch removed lots of detail and still lags for me. So on top of everything the landscape is ugly too. I kinda regret right now getting it myself. Lesson learned.

[OG Swift]

I personally encountered only few bugs so far (140 hrs gametime) - there were some FPS drops during "cinematics" that occured only rarely so can't say whether it is fixed or not. The related problem was that once I got to main menu, it lagged for quite some time and it was caused by connecting to bioware or who-knows-where and that is definately fixed.

 

When it comes to game itself, there might be some glitches rather than bugs - In relation to bugs I had 2 bugged quests.

 

One was related to collecting quest items that stopped dropping after progress in story (solved by glitch) and the other one was Solas' personal quest when arriving to quest location cinematics did not trigger (solved by reloading the game BEFORE arriving to place from different way).

 

In comparison to other games (AC: Unity, Watch Dogs, etc.) this game works really well without any major issues.

[SolaFide03]

Well, the first few times I ran the game with the presets in options the game took for me, was like trying to run it on an cell phone.  laggy, freezes loading to the main screen, couldn't select things, etc.

 

Got into options and set most stuff high/medium and haven't really noticed any performance hits.  Believe the benchmark in game had me averaging about 45 fps.

 

Gameplay - sometimes the dialog wheel doesn't register selections; more a calibration issue.  if I click the actual words, works fine.  Was in a conversation with Cullen and a couple of guys sparring in the background were headless.   Haven't seen that one in about a week.

 

I haven't noticed the microstutter as much as of late, No bugged quests (yet).  Tactical camera breaks my heart, coming from DA:O.  Mostly design issue peeves, such as not being able to walk.  I walk everywhere in Skyrim.  I mean everywhere.  Keyboard and Mouse could um - use some work.  But I can work with it so far.

 

The new patch gave me the shiny hair but the work around fixed it.  Now running on high general settings using the command line set to high and performance seems solid.  Will see what combat looks like.

 

Edit: left out my specs

 

Phenom X4 965 3.4 ghz (stock)

XFX Radeon 260X 2 gb (stock)

Corsair Vengeance 8 gb RAM

256 gb SSD

Antec case  - cannot remember the model name (DF-84?) but bring it up since it gets amazing airflow with 7 fans.

 

Running game on high general settings after the work around command line thing elsewhere

Tons of skills and equipemt are broken, most of the broken ones have zero effect but some of the skill rings can actually boost the skill for every character of that class with the skill in your party.. If you equip/unequip enough skill rings watch your skills damage/effect permanentlly lower. Some equipment with raw stat boosts don't apply the stats correctly. Banter is broken, music is broken unless you use the war table "fix" that makes the stupid drum music play forever at base. Performance is awful, audio thread is always bogged down causing delayed audio up to a full minute after loading a new area. Party members take ages to load in the menu. Game often freezes at "connecting to dragon age servers". Cutscenes stutter, panning the camera stutters.

Game needed another 6 months in the oven at least. So pissed I gave EA another chance after getting a refund on BF4. Never again.

I've been lucky not to experience any of the more annoying bugs - but as of today, the new patch has fixed some of the oft heard complaints (search is now MUCH better, they increased the frequency of banter (don't know if that'll fix the party banter bug for those who experience it), the patch fixed the freeze at "connecting to dragon age servers", and many other small fixes.

 

On the downside, the new patch was flawed, and caused graphical problems, especially noticeable for those playing the game on the highest graphics settings. They have posted a workaround fix, and are curently working on a hotfix though, so these problems are very temporary.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about buying the game - at least not after the hotfix comes, hopefully within a few days. I think in it's current state it's quite playable. If you want to wait though, there's another patch already in the works.

 

As for stability, I've experienced a single crash in more than 100 hours of playing. Very occasional stutter. Nothing that would have inconvenienced me at all. And cycling through your characters in character screen is slow going, which is something I hope they address in the future, but that's a relatively minor annoyance.

 

I think I'm one of the lucky ones - the game is stable on my system, no banter bug, no accent switch bug, no gender confusion bug. And now at least the two latter bugs have been fixed, so nobody should experience them anymore.

A few minor glitches and one bug for myself; the latter was solved by using Quicksave and reloading at the hovering NPC to bring him back down to the ground for a nice chat. Re-mapping the Keys before gameplay and taking the time to learn the new controls helped me to avoid much of the frustration expressed by some others.

[mfr001]

I've only had the DIRECTX crashes with varying frequency (two very bad days, but otherwise infrequent, don't know why) since UK release. However, I have tweaked the graphics settings, lowering them in the aspects to which I pay less attention, and reduced the factory overclock on the graphics card (MSI 660 ti) and have had one crash in four days heavy play. There is a temporary fix for the graphics problem posted here. I have not had time to try it out, but will do later today.

[RamonNZ]

I had the stop and freeze at the beginning of the game bug which often happened with quad cores. I could get in and play 1/3 times, and 2/3 it would just freeze. I would have to alt-tab every time and change my cpus affinity for inquisition.

 

After the patch it was fixed. I've also not noticed anything broken so far after a day of play, in fact the mini-map now shows where the items are that you ping, so I'm pretty happy with the patch so far.

 

Aside from that sometimes when I load saves it just crashes out of the game. That hasn't been fixed, but it's not game-breaking.

 

Haven't noticed any of the graphics glitches people are talking about, and I'm playing on ultra settings. Can't complain.

[GamerGeek87]

I've encountered quite a few bugs myself, this was all before the patch as I haven't installed it yet. A lot of people are saying the patch broke a lot of things but I can't comment on that yet for obvious reasons. My experience thus far has still been enjoyable despite many bugs, some of them minor others quite frustrating.

[Kantr]

I get the right click bug and a bug that makes the screen start spinning meaning I need to restart the game.

 

Aside from that, bug free and avoided installing the patch

[Irx]

~100 hours, noticeable bugs so far (not talking about terrible interface etc):

- character race and gender broken in chargen, had to reroll & replay ~3 hours of gameplay. >.>

- 1 crash.

- several dozens of visual glitches caused by origin overlay conflict with game engine (looks like 5-6 secs of visual artifacts/black screen/fullscreen mode autoexit).

- 2 cases of script events not firing, fixed by reloading.

- getting agents mechanic glitched at some point thus missing 4 agents, then unglitched itself.

- a few minor glitches like saving incorrectly disabled, switching active char ui bug etc.

Frankly, nothing gamebreaking or too annoying, works better than many other rpgs (da2, skyrim, fallout 3/nv) on release for me.

Also playing on ultra and perfomance is perfect (i5-2400/16 gb/gt780/ssd), unlike some other recent games.
