You still haven't realized she's just about the rudest poster in the forums? LOL, and I thought *I* was missing episodes

 

I doubt she cares, but it's more for my satisfaction of being a rude snark myself.

Wrong pronoun. 

 

Maybe It's time for an avatar change.

 

I know people have had problems but octarins copy and paste about character control has nothing to do with the game crashing on nividia cards (particularily high-end using SLI). He posts the same thing all the time so I got annoyed.

 

I'm the rudest poster on the forums? lol!

 

That's funny considering I don't post as much now. It's also the first time I've told octarin to shut up

 

I've been confused about how I've been rude since I got snarky to the people complaining about the gold explo

I see occasional CTD during combat if there have been too many special effects on screen for too long, wherein I'm also swinging the camera left and right a lot.

They're almost predictable.

But if my hardware isn't adequate, no one's is.

Oh, she cares. It's a specific brand of sociopathy actually, but that's another subject for another conversation. Personally, I've got her on the ignore list since ... pff.... before release sometime lol. Nothing she ever says has any shred of validity or interest, so better off without.

I like the avatar you have though!

It does seem like DA:I is buggy across all formats - I'm on the 360 and I still get the banter bug, my characters talking backwards, the scarecrow pose, and since the last patch - a 1 in 5 chance that my game is going to crash when it goes to a loading screen.

To be honest, it's killed my enjoyment of the game.

[Remki]

Just an update: I managed to get out of the Winter Palace. Ran it on lowest possible settings in a tiny window. Game still crashes randomly. A somewhat pattern does exist (kind of): either it crashes a lot at the beginning of a play session (so like 3 to 5 times in the first 20 minutes of playing) and/or after 3 to 4 hours of uninterrupted gameplay. It seems once I'm past that first few minutes, I can sail on for a while without interruption until a few hours in.

 

Unless, of course, anything has a cut scene or I'm going back to Skyhold. Cut scenes are automatic shut downs almost 100% of the time, Skyhold returns are about 60% shut downs.

[Teddie Sage]

Crashed on me yesterday while I was in a rainy area. PS4.

[Shechinah]

This is going to sound like a very odd suggestion but have anyone tried to run it on the lowest settings and in small screen mode when they need to avoid crashing during cutscene iniation or to avoid loading screen freezes or crashes?

 

I've been playing KOTOR for the last couple of days and it is one of the work-arounds I employ to get around some of the crash- and freeze-related problems so I thought it would be worth mentioning if it hadn't already been.

 

Fun fact; Dantooine can make you crash because you had the grass setting on. They'll have you know they take their lawncare very serious.

To everyone having graphical and audio issues, please follow the following steps:

 

1. Save everything, and if you're on xbox, make sure your saves are in the cloud, in the DA:I servers, and if not, back them up or do whatever you can do to not lose your saves (sorry don't know where PS saves). DELETE all autosaves.

 

2. Uninstall absolutely everything. Clean registries, caches, permanent storages, everything.

 

3. Hard restart, and start a fresh installation - if you can, preferably from the server files, not the disks. Include all your DLCs, patch everything, let MP finish installing and patching.

 

4. Import or sync your games from the servers/cloud, and load them again. 

 

It may seem stupid, but patch on patch is oftentimes like darning an old sock. A clean install is kinda like a brand new sock, in this case, all files are latest and updated.

 

I truly hope this helps some people, it saved me from my horrid graphical issues (see my sig to get an idea)

[b10d1v]

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!!!

That is a concern that they need to address, several people have discussed poor to unsavory support staff.  A better place to post these concerns is on the Origin site.

I second this as a first try.

 

Also, I've been noticing issues after every patch untilI I have Origin 'repair game'.

Then it starts working smoothly again.

Thing is, origin is for PC only, and if you run the game on PC and have issues there. Origin won't much be phased about the people on xbox or PS.

Aye, there's overlap of files, and some end being from an older version of the game and they don't work well with newer files, for some reason some may not be updated, so that's why I suggest a fresh install from the servers if at all possible, to get all files's latest versions.

[b10d1v]

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.

Kantar the issues with instability are two fold: boundary conditions and managing data, that this is compounded by poor drivers crashing video is another issue related to QA.  Most of the quest errors are NPC conflict issues -these are related, even the Li has to be managed, just as inner circle and quest functions.  You're a rare bird to see so few,  as great many did have serious issues that are repeatable and documented.  I helped walk many through errors encouraging them to analyze the errors and reproduce them and built a failure analysis model.

Good point, if there is no equivalent try the EA/origin or EA/Bioware websites.  Personally, I have pleasant dealings with the support staff, but folks outside the US and Canada have reported very bad to sour dealings and it needs to be addressed, if it hasn't already.  Bioware/EA has enough problems w/o poor support contractor support.

I am people outside the US and Canada. For more than a month I never even managed to talk to anyone even in chat. They don't let us talk to them on the phone, to begin with. The last chat agent I waited for, I was waiting for over 3 hours straight and nobody showed. Even Microsoft popped an agent up after fifteen minutes, for perspective. EA support must be one of the ABSOLUTE BOTTOM WORSE support sites/services I've ever encountered. But, thankfully, I managed to solve my problem myself, with the help of another player from an entirely different post of an entirely different issue, whom I had the good sense to bother and ask about something. So, no need for support in the end. However, you'd think that a 14-post thread about a specific issue with various updates on the issue, would have caught someone's eye or two...

Can't really tell the rate of errors to non-errors as the people who do get errors say so while those who don't. Dont

 

Drivers are on nvidia and AMD. Bioware can only test what they're given.

[PsychoBlonde]

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?

 

No, because the PS3 uses a crazy-quilt multithreading system that is radically unlike any other gaming system.  It was so hard to develop for that they completely abandoned that approach for the PS4 even though it meant that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to run PS3 games on the PS4.

The godawfulness of developing for the PS3 probably saved the Xbox.

 

That being said, the only serious issue I ran into with the game on my (newish but hardly top-of-the-line PC) was a weird bug with Despair Demons that would force me to hard-restart my PC every damn time unless I turned the post-processing effects down to the lowest possible setting.  It made me sad to have a long list of Ultra settings and then Low.  So that sucked.

 

I haven't played over the last 2-3 patches, though, so I don't know if they fixed this or not.

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 run the game with everything on max including 4x MSAA and all is well. I've never had a CTD or DX error in 100's of hours of play. My system specs:

 

Win 8.1 64bit

Intel i7 4820k @ 3.7 w/ Corsair H60 cooler

Gigabyte X79-UP4 mobo

16GB ADATA RAM

EVGA GTX 780 TI Superclocked w/ ACX cooler (driver version 350.12)

EVGA SuperNova 750B PSU

 

I can run the game just fine in windowed, fullscreen, or windowed fullscreen. With all graphics settings maxed out, fps sits constant at about 45ish which is just fine by me. 

[Draninus]

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.

 

I can confirm that the AMD drivers for this game are solid.  The only issue I don't have with this game at this point is the performance.  I've been lucky enough to have a minimum amount of performance-related issues.  The specs on my rig are not even close to some of the others that have been posted here.
