I was one of those folks that pre-ordered the deluxe game and started playing on the first day. I finished my first play through well before most of the initial bugs were fixed-- so a lot of banter was missing and a lot of things crashed or just didn't work the way they should. 

 

Now it's six months later and I figured it was time to try a new playthrough with all the new fixes and DLC to spiff it up. And yet, here we are, six months and seven game patches later and the game STILL crashes randomly with no reason behind it. I've updated everything --drivers, DirectX, game files, patches-- and it's still an issue.

 

Currently can't leave the Winter Palace no matter what I do. I get to the end of the mission, talk with my LI, then the screen fades to the loading screen and POOF. Game closes. I've tried everything. Turned down every option to the lowest setting, run it in a small window, reinstalled, repaired, and rechecked the game files, etc. I have literally hundreds of other games, but not one of them give me this issue.

 

If anyone has any fixes for this that I haven't tried already, I'd be grateful. Otherwise I'd rather just play something else, which is a sad statement about the state of this game.

 

I love BioWare's games, but this issue is seriously frustrating and seriously kills most of my potential love for DA:I. I hope they manage to figure out this kind of stuff before they release ME4, I'd hate to see THAT get killed by disappointment caused by bugs and mechanical failures :/

Does your hardware meet the min req?

Kat, I doubt that is the issue.  Please note that he finished a rocky game and set it aside.

 

DAI had a very rough start and some of the worst offenders that would crash your power supply, yes that bad, have been fixed.  I just got it going again after the patch B4 this one changed the boundary conditions in dealing with "stability" that made player movement so clumsy that I could not tolerate it.  Now it works, but has some serious issues in the character controller timing of AV and dialog and all too often those pauses that cause video tearing and lags in behavior still occur.

 

Normally, I'd ignore these, but in this case the character controller is a critical module that was incomplete at launch and it is a technological milestone designed to handle everything NPCs do from behaviors to dialogue and banter, to cutscenes and AV and quests and NPC tracking.  It is supposed to find and correct conflicts and that fails more often than not.

 

Additionally, the tactics system roll in and roll out frequency has a health effect indicated by the nausea reports.  These are not trivial concerns!

I can confirm that the straight to desktop crashbugs are still happening, not only do I meet the minimum requirements I exceed them...

 

My computer:

 

Intel 8 Core i7 5960X

32GB 3,000Mhz RAM

2xGeForce Titans in SLI

3x Samsung SSD's in RAID

1x4TB HDD (Mass storage device)

1xCreative SoundBlaster ZxR Sound Card

Rampage V Extreme motherboard.

 

The issue: Within 3 minutes of starting play, the game crashes to desktop. Presently of the 90 titles I have installed this is the only one exhibiting this behaviour. Battlefield 4 (for example) runs perfectly fine and I mention this because it uses the same/similar engine. They must get on top of this issue before the next Mass Effect, it would be a bit of a disaster to see it suffer the exact same problems.

I have still hard freezes on PS3. Meaning that I have to shutdown whole system since it doesn't respond to anything and spent half hour recovering it until I can play again. I doubt Bioware will fix it though.

I built my rig specifically to meet/exceed the DAI/Battlefield 4 requirements (I was upgrading anyway, decided to make sure it would be able to run any games coming out over the next two years at least). I went through my hardware specs again recently and did some stress testing jic and no, it's not that. It's very specifically the game, unfortunately.

[InterrogationBear]

Guess the Nvidia drivers are still bad.

 

Will be interesting to see which company has the better DX12 drivers when Bioware releases Mass Effect. Apparently, AMD drivers are already pretty good.

Trivial or not, they don't seem to give two hoots. I am frankly amazed at this. Seriously bewildered, I have never, and I mean NEVER seen such almost totally non-existent presence of support. In comparison Blizzard's mods were veritable chatterboxes!!!

[b10d1v]

Sorry you have been relegated to beta testing, but first make sure you have the right drivers to compensate for DAI, use a Beta if available. Launch the game in a window and play with the video settings until it will run in fullscreen.

Last Gen DAI, is a disgrace.

[Ganalysis]

I'm experiencing the same problem with the crashing on a clean install of windows 7 64bit. I never had these issues with previous bioware games.  I have eight of mainstream titles installed of which three of former bioware games that work flawlessly

I think there is your problem. The techonolgy in that potato is like 10 years old.

[CenturyCrow]

Why not blame it on EA for trying to use old tech?

 

But doesn't it really suggest that after 10 years, the PS3 should be a piece of cake to program compared to new tech?

Shouldn't be the fault of the ps3 owner if the publisher made the decision to develop for the system

Of course it is ea/bioware's fault. What I was trying to say is in an effort to fulfill corporate greed PC and current generation consoles suffer as a result. Resources otherwise could have been used to optimise the game more on PC and current gen consoles were used to try to get Frostbite 3 running on 10-year old consoles. Features that were supposed to be in DAi was taken out due to last gen consoles lack the hardwares to run them.

I play DA:I on the PS3. Since the beginning, I've had intermittent issues with the game completely locking up on me, but it's gotten significantly worse since the last patch. For example, it just took me an HOUR AND A HALF to do a simple inventory cleanup because it froze on me over and over. At this point, I'm not sure whether I'd get more enjoyment out of continuing to play the game or taking the disk out to the parking lot and driving back and forth over it. I know that the problem isn't due to my PS3, as I don't have issues with any other games. Bioware, for the love of all that is holy, please do something to make this game less rage-inducing.

Nvidia did announce a new driver a little while back fixing some SLI issues. Also, have you "optimized" your graphic settings? That is, some options need to be turned OFF/LOW as they provide no perceptible visual improvements but have an exponential resource demand. The  default graphics options has the Frostbite 3 engine render the terrain to infinity. You can imagine the resource requirement for that! Recent patches may have fixed some of the game's early resource demands.

I still get the stuttering crap too...

Likewise, but fortunately it only happens on the war map sometimes or if I run too quickly in Skyhold before the autosave is finished(I can't even disable it).

Indeed, it explains why last gen DAI has a 5/10 on Gamestop and other retailers.

Yo sorry about that I didn't realize your point at the start. Yeah, I feel pretty bad for old gen consoles. They were promised something that EA couldn't deliver on and they should be mad about that. I feel also more "4th" generation console owners and PC owners should be angry too that they not only under delivered to Old Gen consoles, but they also under delivered to the later generation machines while making a really bad play at old genners money.

May I just note here that I've paid for the bloody thing twice, once for xbox360 and once again for xboxone and STILL the xbox one has freezes and crashes and I can't complete the game!!! Just as a note. For perspective.

[TheOgre]

Next gen consoles are struggling too? 

 

I guess that must mean if BW might make another record selling game, they'll have nothing but technical issues. Technical problems are secondary to their MP cash grab.

can you shut up about the character controller. You just keep posting that and it has nothing to do with the OP's problem.

 

I've had a stable experience on DA:I and I have a meh computer.

Hello!

 

Plenty of people here with Nvidia gfx cards have some plenty of testing and determined the issue is still currently on Bioware's side.

 

You are one of the fortunate few that have not had this problem -- I ask that you kindly not post again here if you are going to be snarky towards another user who actually DOES have an issue somewhat related to the OP's post. 

 

p.s. You shut up first.
