I am experiencing major issues with the quality of Dragon Age: Inquisition that I cannot seem to find effective solutions for, and that I'm sure many others are having problems with. I just bought the PC disc version of the game, and after already having to solve an issue where I began the game and got stuck wondering around in the Frostback Mountains, completely skipping the first interrogation cutscene, I began to experience terrible frame rate issues and general lag within both gameplay and cutscenes. The sound is very stuttery and repeats itself, and even in cutscenes as well as when playing, everything appears to be happening in slow motion. Combined, the issues with the quality of the game make it 'unplayable' and incredibly annoying as it is so slow and poor in general. The main menu screen is beautiful and smooth, but the second I hit 'continue' to go to my save game file, everything goes down hill.

 

All my graphics and interface settings are set to low or very low, I have turned off vertical sync, fiddled with the resolution, tried playing without being connected in to Origin, have done multiple game repairs through Origin, and I have tried changing the FPS on Game Properties to 60 max or +. My computer is running with Windows 7 on an 'Intel HD Graphics Family' drive, version 8.15.10.2509, which I have numerously attempted to uninstall and update but it says it is already up to date, so either the updates have not worked or they simply have no effect.

 

There do not seem to be any effective solutions. I have spent 2 frustrating days researching these issues and have found that most people experience them separately, as opposed to all of them happening at once as they do in my case. Is it an in-game issue, or a hardware problem? Do I need a different graphics card? I'd rather not have to upgrade to Windows 8, but does this provide results? I am utterly disappointed and put off from playing the DA:3 altogether after being incredibly excited to begin the game, as I have never experienced this much hassle with a new game before and I have no idea what else to do. Can anyone help please?

If you're running on integrated graphics, that's probably the problem. A game like DAI (honestly, pretty much any modern game) needs a dedicated GPU.

 

Are you sure you don't have one? can you list any of your other system specs? Should run fine on Windows 7. I run it on Windows 7.

 

Also, don't use the FPS uncapping fix when starting a new game - that's been known to break stuff and get you stuck in the weird Frostbacks. Just launch from Origin. You can resume using it after you create your character.

Well on another forum, this person asked me to give them a link to all my system details that are noted on hastebin.com, so I don't know if that will help, but here: http://hastebin.com/iwobumisaz.tex

I'm afraid I'm a bit hopeless when it comes to hardware, but thanks so much for your hasty reply by the way I'm dying to sort this out

[FKA_Servo]

Well... two things. Integrated graphics, and a dual core CPU (minimum requirement for DAI is a quad core).

 

Is it a laptop or a desktop? You might be able to fiddle around the CPU issue:

A desktop you can get a decently cheap budget card like a GTX 750 and just swap it on no problem. But if you've got a laptop your problems might be a little bigger.

[rublie]

It is a desktop and I did look at the CPU through a program I downloaded that I forget the name of, but I didn't know where to go from there. I looked at that link you gave and it said that DA:3 will crash or won't launch if running with an old Dual Core Processor, but the thing is mine doesn't crash - the game itself works, just very poorly. It's the quality that makes it impossible to play.

[FKA_Servo]

Well, you might try one of these in that case:

It's super uncomplicated to install, and it'll do for the game on low/medium settings no problem. I don't know how it's ultimately going to go, though, with that CPU. You might upgrade the card just to find that you're still getting bottlenecked there.

 

Good luck though!

[rublie]

I'll try that, thank you!

[Realmzmaster]

The problem is both the CPU and the dedicated graphics. Some dual processors can run the game if it has hyperthreading. The game as you note runs poorly. Couple the CPU problem with Intel dedicated graphics that are  less than the 4600 model number and you will get the problems you are having. 

The CPU and graphics simply do not have the power to run the game properly. A dedicated grahics card may solve some of the problem, but the CPU may still bottleneck the system.

[FKA_Servo]

I'll try that, thank you!

 

No worries.

 

(I'd actually recommend you do some research on cards before running out and buying one, but that one is a solid recommendation because it's cheap, quality, and and draws like, no power.)

Yep, go into your profile setting s and on the left nav panel, select 'Ignore' Preferences. At the bottom of that page is a place to put people on your ignore list.

Generally speaking you'd be best starting with a whole new PC I'd look into building one yourself its a good learning experience and is relatively straight forward and in many instances can be done for less than what a prebuilt system could cost you this would be a good starting point :-

 

Intel Core i5 4690K unlocked processor
Corsair H60 self-contained liquid cooling
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 OC 4GB graphics
Gigabyte Z97MX-GAMING 5 motherboard
8GB HyperX Fury DDR3-1600 RAM
240GB HyperX Fury SATA3 SSD
1TB Western Digital 7200RPM 64MB cache HDD
550W Corsair CSM Series Modular PSU

Corsair Air 540 Case 

 

While you could just add a Graphics Card to your existing system without knowing what your power supply is I would not advise it it may not be powerful enough or could be a cheap unit that could kill your PC with a power surge and as somebody else said your dual core CPU could hold the graphics card back and really you should be on something with a base clock of 3-3.4Ghz not 2.66Ghz

Thanks for the advice, we have decided we are going to get our local computer man in to look at the system requirements compared with our current system to see whether it would be best to completely upgrade it or to just buy new parts, and hopefully he will give cheap recommendations. I have learnt a lot from this about PC hardware, and may consider building my own PC in future as you advised, as I am interested to learn more. If anyone else has advice or information about similar issues to do with hardware and how to be better prepared for problems such as these in future, I am keen to hear it

@Jim,quick question: Wouldn't an i7 4th gen CPU be superior to the i5 4th gen CPU you've mentioned?

@Jim,quick question: Wouldn't an i7 4th gen CPU be superior to the i5 4th gen CPU you've mentioned?

It most certainly would, though more expensive. I would also be wary about that 550w power supply,  I would recommend nothing less than 800w. I use a 1050 Ultra X4 in my system.
